Wow, I think the Idaho Statesman article is a lot more interesting than the People one! It answers a lot of background questions we've had about Bryan.
1) Worked at New York Pizza Girl in 2013-14. The owner of the building where the pizzeria was that Bryan worked at with a fellow heroin user, also owned a fish hatcher where people would come fish and then pay to have their catch cleaned. Both the owner and Bryan's job application for the school district confirm he worked there in the summer of 2011.
Bryan "
didn’t show himself to be very personable with customers and also wasn’t improving at filleting the fish. He let him go. 'You’ve got to do a good job on your cuts, you have to be friendly to people, at least try to make some eye contact,' Conklin said. 'It just wasn’t his thing.' ”
2) His intense focus on losing weight led to a eating disorder that required hospitalization (not clear if that was just a hospital stay or a longer term eating disorder residential treatment as well) during high school.
3) Guidance counselor said his parents were very involved in meetings to help guide his education and plan his future schooling.
4) High school--sophomore year was at the technical program for law enforcement, switched junior year to HVAC program. Senior yr, transferred out of tech program and did the school's online program to earn his diploma (which he told friends he completed early). Tech school admin in charge of student discipline says she did have to work with Bryan, can't say specific details of why. She said different programs had lots of requirements (esp law enforcement), and even if a student had good grades they could be dropped from the program for behavior. He graduated high school between Jan-Mar of 2013.
5) High school was the start of him using marijuana which changed to heroin abuse. Bryan started college in August of 2013, but by Jan 2014 he told a friend he had had to drop out of college to go to rehab. It is not clear if he also had to go to rehab in high school.
6) According to what Bryan told friends in 2018, he had stopped using drugs in 2016.
7) In 2016 he started work with the school district as a fill-in custodian and courier before moving into security part time (Idaho Statesman got this from official documents they requested). The school district did tell IS that they couldn't release his documents related to written complaints or discipline. He resigned in June 2021.
At this point I don't want to hear any more comments on how come his parents didn't try to get him help--here we have evidence of hospital stays, school involvement, rehab programs, etc in addition to what is in the Tapatalk posts.
