I had the same thought when I watched his YouTube videos. I just didn't know how to put it into words as well as you did. All those videos he took out in the middle of nowhere.
Wow! Thank you so much. I had tried to find out about it years before the internet came out when grandma told me about it. I remember the German part but didn’t know how the integration with the Cherokee came into play. How interesting. Yes, we are all FAMILY.
Yes, I never thought of him talking about HIS own stories. Very possible.
You are so right. I applaud your post! I wish I could help. Is there anything or anyone I can help research? Please let me know if I can contribute. Seriously. Research is my thing.
I can already tell...just the feeling I got when I clicked over there ~ it will break my heart. Thank you for the kind words. Really, this is nice to read.
You made me giggle.
Thx. I always thought truckers had the potential, but never heard it actually said.I’m having a hard time reading about these stats in my home state. Just looking at this sign feels creepy.
Killers on wheels
In the early 2000s, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation noted a pattern in a string of women’s bodies that had been dumped along Interstate 40 in four states. This prompted the FBI to establish a Highway Serial Killings Initiative, which tracks known and unknown killers. The program initiative noted that suspects included predominantly long-haul truck drivers.
Today, the FBI has collected profiles of as many as 400 truckers who may still be active serial killers, Arntfield said.
Trucking, he explained, is an ideal profession for serial killers, as it gives drivers both mobility and anonymity.

"It also provides a veneer of legitimacy to serial killers being on the highway or at truck stops in the middle of the night,” he said. “Truck stops are known hotbeds of the sex trade, and truckers with nefarious motives can exploit that.”
Native women are at particularly high risk of commercial sexual exploitation, according to a 2009 study by the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition, which blamed historic trauma, poverty, alcohol or substance abuse, domestic violence and homelessness.
Native women and girls may be exploited into trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. Others may turn to prostitution as a means of economic survival.
Many Native women and girls, lacking cars or access to public transportation, are forced to rely on hitchhiking to get from place to place, making them easy prey for killers.

Such a unique case. Trying to put it all together in my mind. I'm sure the authorities know much more.I'm going to zero back in and focus on this man already captured and responsible for killing two women. Don't want to get too scattered. Sadly,
there's a war on women everywhere.
Good find! Brian certainly came across as a man who thought he had all the answers. Sounds like a civil, business case before, but it makes one wondered what other trouble he got in. Ah, this time BSS has got himself in a whole lot of legal trouble.
For a man thinking he's so smart, he stupidly took video and pics of himself committing a horrible crime then somehow lost the labeled memory card!!! It seems doubtful an attorney will be able to help. What's an awful thought is he might not have even been caught if someone hadn't found that memory card.
Do you think there are other memory cards of other murders perhaps labeled? How do you figure he lost that memory card?
JMO and ETA the link to that June 4th post he made.
