The following post is MOO and it is a wild theory that entered my mind last night as I slept and dreamt of Brandon. I will not discuss the dream as that is not allowed, but I have gone back and tried to follow the theory that developed.
Some of this is from the opinions of fellow Websleuthers! I have been trying to do a timeline and we all know there are major questions, discrepancies and the like.
Saying that I hope you all will consider, digest and point out the holes in my theory, which will, I hope, help us all see something. I think it was Balor who said she(he?) was going to go back to the beginning and I believe that is the crux of it all.
WHAT IF?
Brandon's 911 call indicated he was on U.S. 277 between Bronte and Abilene, and mentions his truck had run out of gas. (Two different sentences, he was in panic, of that I have no doubt) "the (trooper/trucker just pushed some guys over" right here on both sides going to Abilene. That is NORTH of Bronte. (? How well did Brandon know the area, would he have said he was between San Angelo and Bronte instead? )
Brandon's 911 call indicated "we're not talking the them, I literally/totally ran into them", there's one guy/car here and a guys chasing me through the woods, they got the first guy" 1. It appears he was not alone that night. 2. What are the odds of someone you know stopping to ask if you need help? 3. Has anyone else been reported missing? Was this other person identified?(I haven't figured that out yet, but based on the blogtalk from the other night, Ladessa does know)
Brandon's 911 call indicated "chasing (him) into the woods"
The Deputy who went SOUTH found the truck, the Deputy who went NORTH did not find a truck.
The trucker who called 911 reporting the truck in the road( I think it said, saw no one around the vehicle)(?12:58 is the time that the trucker called 911?)
The other lady who's mother called ?911 and reported the truck also did not see anyone around the vehicle. (? Do we know the time of that call?)
IF Brandon knew Kyle was coming with the gas cans and picking him up, he would not have 'run off', into the woods, field or Mars. I believe he would have been spotted by the two known passersby that called and reported.
IT IS ASSUMED that Brandon is to the SOUTH based on his truck, right? This is what everyone has assumed. This is where everyone has searched, with ZERO results.
Brandon reportedly told Kyle on the phone after 1:19 am that he was 10 minutes 'up the road', would 10 minutes by car up the road be past Bronte? I believe yes.
WHAT IF? He ran out of gas, someone he knew stopped, he caught a ride and then down the road he realized he was in some deep sheet? and (he bailed or they threw him from a moving vehicle) on the NORTH side of Bronte, which caused his bleeding, caused him to call 911, state what he did, and then text/call Audrey that he was bleeding(more than once?). To me, personally, for him to say he's bleeding like it is reported, indicates this is more than a scratch from thorns or falling on rocks, yes I know how badly both can cause harm.
IF Brandon was indeed hiding while LE and KYLE were there at 1:10 am, he would have stayed there and waited until the Deputy left. Therefore, I conclude Brandon was not hiding in the brush.
If the 'ping' was in a different area than the truck, and the towers are in different locations, could Brandon have been NORTH of Bronte and still have the same 'ping'? I believe yes.
A whole lot happened in, what I see as approx. 1 hr 25 mins. He went missing awfully fast (Yes, I know it takes seconds)
Times are approx.
11:53 he left home
12:38 he called his brother reporting he ran out of gas(Did he tell Kyle WHERE he was? One would think yes, as how else would he know where to take the cans too?) (approx 45 minutes to go 37ish miles)
12:50 he calls 911 reporting he needs help and to please hurry(what did he do for 15 minutes? It is stated no damage or blood in or around the truck, it was left unlocked)
12:58 911 call reports truck on the roadway(with no one around the vehicle, nor I assume any other vehicles there)
1:10 Deputy and Kyle arrive at the truck, from different directions (Kyle made it to the truck from Brandon's home in 32 mins, which call was the Deputy responding too?)
1:19 Brandon reportedly calls his brother/gf saying he is '10 minutes' up the road and bleeding. Was there a discussion about the truck, the gas? If you were in that much distress would you try to clarify? (This is approx 20 minutes AFTER he called 911 and approx 40 minutes AFTER he called Kyle)
There are gaps as I am going by what I can find in MSM only.
WHAT IF? Brandon is NORTH of Bronte as he stated in his 911 call?
I would seriously like to know if there are 'fields' and 'woods' NORTH of Bronte, and while I know that it will probably never be searched, it would be so nice if it was. Kyle has never offered a statement, except to LE, correct? Nor has he helped search except for the next day. Can anyone get a copy of the police reports? In the hopes it adds to what we don't know.
