    sorry for the loss but we must move on...............

    i want to say something very rude to you, but i won't.

    someone out there has to have information about this man, and the fact that this thread has such a prominent place on the board makes me not only proud to be a member of this community, but reassured that there are people out there who are effected enough by the tragedies of other's to go out of their way to help in any way that they can.

    +1, Thank you NothingIsEverything! Perfect username!

    And I LOVE that line! (Lately we have been going down the shitty toilet in this state of Michigan so fast - we always already knew what was really important, but to actually feel more what is really important after losing jobs, filing bankruptcy, on our toes not knowing how much longer we'd stay in this house and those type of unsure moments...that line is even more powerful).

    And this is for MH80359 - I have had several personal messages from people close to Brian, including his father Randy...that it meant a lot to them keeping this thread alive and sticky on the PJ board, a favorite band of Brian's and that gave them a feeling of hope and I think also a sense of him still being around in the PJ community who continue to keep his spirit alive and keep hope floating....

    Thanks Kat and Lisa... thank you! :):)

    to see if he accepts the friend request and thats a sign that hes alive somewhere. my take on this all along is that he pulled a chris McCandless and went "into the wild".

    Thank you Kat. Glad to see this is still an active thread. I often think about Brian and his father, more so now that my son has become a teenager and is starting to attend concerts (although I'm there with him). I still hold hope he remains in a good place and at peace.

    i didnt have time to read this whole thing but i read a link to a forum that had an article saying his best friend wouldnt take a polygraph and that his attorney, or a attorney says he is alive and the best friend knows about it?

    this thing was posted in April of this year, anyone know anything about this?

    That all does seem to be right.

    He does have a friend that refused to take a polygraph. IIRC, polygraphs can't be held up as evidence in court, if they're the only evidence...they have to be accompanied by other evidence. (Don't take that as 100% truth though.)

    One of the feelings is that someone does know something, but won't say what they know... perhaps that's why they won't take the polygraph.

    There was a recent interview done with the private investigator who feels as if Brian is alive. (Honestly, I think he may be right. There's been no body, no ransom note, no wallet, ID, or anything else turning up.)

    If people are trying to find your best friend and you refuse TWICE to take a polygraph you become a suspect in my book.

    Here's what I don't get:

    If it's a "Into The Wild" situation, and the friends know that, why don't they just come out and say so? After all, the friends certainly must realize that there's a huge cloud of suspicion over their heads, right?

    I don't think Brian is dead. If he WERE dead, then there'd probably be stuff turning up (wallet, cell phone, keys, etc.) There may be a ransom note, etc. There've been a couple internet postings claiming various things, but they've all been hoaxes.

    Still, I can't help shake the feeling that his friends know something. Someone certainly must know something, no matter how little and unimportant it may seem, and someone's not talking.

    If only Randy could somehow leave us a sign. He and Brian's mom know where Brian is.

    Sorry, guess that sounded less bad in my head. I just had this picture in my head of Chris McCandless in that bus with a blackberry and chuckled. Should have kept it to myself but I didn't mean any harm. Again, sorry.

    This has to be the answer.

    Logically speaking (or at least TRYING to speak logically), we've had no signs of a murder. No body, no wallet found, no answers on the cell phone, no note from any kidnappers/murders.


    We can't give up hope until we know for sure, but what else do we have to go on?

    I have emailed yahamita about any "Into The Wild" connection. She's gonna email the investigator and then get back to me.

    IIRC, Brian was feeling some stress and panic before he disappeared, due to the death of his mother. Could we be on to something here?


    Meanwhile if anyone is attending the upcoming shows, please print out flyers to distribute at the shows...but get venue permission before you hand them out...some venues may have different policies regarding information being passed out.

    Dan doesn't feel Brian took off "Into the Wild". He also got a big fat NO from America's Most Wanted when we asked them to air Brians story. It's hard with Randy being gone, we just don't have connection anymore where we can just pick up the phone and call and discuss the case, but please pass out flyers at the shows, whatever we can do to still get the word out. I need to get ahold of Laura too and see about posting things at the preparties. Still baffles me. I look at Randy's smiling pic on my frig...I never stop thinking of him and Brian..
    I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...GUARANTEED!

    :(

    Today is also the day my oldest daughter turns 14.

    I really wish we could have more information that would give us strong leads....so we can finally close the case.
