Re BBM
So many examples of people finally being found relatively close to where they were last seen.
That to me, is why I believe the focus could be in the general area of the vehicle. I totally agree the entire lake search would not be very feasable., but concentrating on the vehicle area and a certain radius out from there would be the recommended approach.
I am also a big believer in using dogs and I realize the dog searches were done with mixed results. The first d og search ended right at the water directly near the car, which is where I would mainly focus there.
They did do another bloodhound search and that seemed to show he may have walked along the waters edge and stopped on the dam, so IMO, that could be a 2nd place to try. The dog search link that someone kindly provided a few posts back indicated they thought he may have "backtracked" where he stopped on the dam. But he could have also entered the water there instead of backtracking. I dont necessarily agree that he backtracked as that may have been where he then went down to the water there. When walking on a dam, there is this weird "pull" or desire to go down to the water, so that could be a 2nd spot to try to search.
I am thankful that a lot of people have different ideas and opinions, as that is what makes WS so great. Everyone's ideas and opinions are important because he has to be found at some point. I sure hope he can be found soon. It has been way too long.
Except technically, no one saw him in Castaic at all.
Of course the dogs did track his scent there, but what they tracked showed he walked away from his vehicle, around the lake edge, across the dam and then away from the lake altogether, back down toward suburban Castaic and back near the 5 fwy.
To me, that indicates (unless he retraced his steps backwards back the exact way he left his vehicle, with no deviation from that path, or unless there was error with the dogs who tracked his scent), he got in a vehicle around where his scent disappeared, near the freeway.
It seems like if they are always patrolling they would have seen the overturned truck and Bryce wandering around. Budget cuts in Cali probably means less patrolling

I was just looking at a map. Bryce's scent path away from Castaic was neither on Lake Hughes Road, nor any main road in the area. He walked in areas where there weren't many roadways, until he approached his last spot. So he truly could have avoided patrolling police, easily.
And since his car was down an embankment, off a main road but it may have been hard to see from
a car driving on Lake Hughes Road.
In other news, I have submitted the video to the family for approval. There are some audio issues near the end but my biggest complaint is the length - 5 minutes. More than twice the length I wanted. I think that's a problem when it comes to holding the attention of 18 to 25 year olds, who were my target for the video. But it's hard to cut it down once you get everything together and edited!
And some of you might get annoyed that, despite the length, I didn't add too much detail. But I didn't want to overload people. I just wanted to get Bryce out there and known by more people. I hope the video helps with that. If it doesn't require much editing, hopefully we can link it soon.
). I also wanted to make sure I had my notes present because I know I forgot things when I was telling dragz last time and wanted it to be accurate.
