Finding his scent on the farm equipment should have been enough for a warrant to search the property. Hmmm

Several farmers did not allow the police to search their land, most likely because the police often destroy and dig up the field without regard for the owner.

Contrary to popular belief, scent dogs aren’t 100% accurate. Especially when you take into account that the dogs first went to the water at which point if the subject has entered the water most of his scent will be diminished.

[@danielbroome5690]

Scent dogs are actually kinda shit if you look into it. They do false positives and negatives all the time. Cops know this, that's why they try to err on the side of caution because if enough things go to court based on a dog's ability to find evidence, it would get to the point where police dogs were discredited so much that they can't get a search warrant based on their activities again.

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

I mean another alternative to that last theory is the farmer saw him probably from a distance mistaking him as a thief or maybe an animal trying to get to his crops or animals. Shoot Brandon and soon discovered it was just an innocent kid and panics and hides the evidence to avoid trouble. Now people can argue that the parents would have heard a shot, much like they would heard their son falling into the river, etc. However, all we have is what the parents told us they heard during that phone call and the fact is human memories are unreliable. There could have been many possible factors that could have resulted in the parents not hearing an important clue during the event and when confronted with trying to fully retell what had happened. Their brains do what all brains do and that is try and fill in the gaps resulting in them thinking that they had a perfect hearing on the phone for a few minutes when it a reality that might not be what exactly happened.

[@Lurker381]

That's a good theory, however I think if that were to have happened the parents would've heard a gun shot

[@varcas62]

@@Lurker381 no matter what happened, the parents must have heard *something*. they were able to hear the river, so its not like the phone had a super small pickup range. footsteps, him cursing or shouting, a splash from falling into the river, anything.

[@Brother_O4TS]

Maybe not shoot, as the parents would've heard it, but managed to sneak up on him and dome him

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

​@@Lurker381 I did have that thought, but then you have to remember we only have what the parents told us they heard on the phone, and human memories are unreliable. So it could be possible that the phone call wasn't that clear at all or there was a break-up during the audio, or heck it can be possible that the phone did cut off, but cause the parents were in such a panic they mistook static as river sounds and footsteps. It is very easy for a parent who is panicking about what happened to their kid that they aren't thinking clearly so when confronted on telling people what they remember their memories try to fill in the blanks resulting in them claiming the phone call was clear and they heard everything when that might not have been the case.

[@Mankey619]

It is strange how Brandon instantly disappeared from the face of the Earth. The fact that the last words that his parents heard were "Oh, Sh*t". Don't know what he saw that made him say those words. It could be that he did encounter some dangerous individuals on his way, and ended up getting kidnapped. I also find very suspicious that the farmer says "no", when they asked to search for his equipment. It is like that he's been erased from existence by some entity or something.

[@danielwoodie6974]

10:01 as stupid as it sounds, you do have the right to disappear. Now given the context he was very obviously not exercising that right and was in deep distress. So police using a legitimate thing in an instance it was not applicable so they could be lazy, surprise surprise.

[@radiansaphir]

The phonecall going on after those last words makes it all the more confusing; if the river was the culprit, why wasn't there a splash heard on the phone? If it was a farmer, why no gunshot? If he just fell or was knocked out, why no footsteps or "thud" of a body? Plus, the fact that he was able to scream out means he must've seen/heard/felt whatever it was that got to him ahead of time, so he wasn't entirely taken by surprise. Saw a few other comments mention tranquilizer guns, which could work, but I always thought they take quite a bit of time before they actually knock someone out cold. Whatever the case, this really reeks of foul play.

I remember watching this video that has stuck me for while about a guy exploring this rocky desert area somewhere west because some vloggers ended disappearing in that area so he volunteered to find them because he knew it well and in crazy turn of events he also ended up disappearing with his phone discovered abandoned in the middle of the landscape. Theory’s suggested that he was secretly depressed about life at the time because of his history in the military and possibly found the most remote part of the landscape where he knew he would never be found to off himself so his family can still legally get the life insurance.

[@wingusdingus7061]

I dont know how the law works very well, but it sounds like they should have tried to get some kind of warrant for that farm property. I guess they probably couldnt, since there wasnt any evidence of foul play, but I would think the scent on the equipment would have to count for something... His family could have probably gotten some answers if they had searched that property. :(

[@danielbroome5690]

​@chask420 these people would never come forward with this even if they felt justified. Paranoid stand your ground farmers aren't exactly the most trusting of law enforcement or the government. It's laughably possible that one of these people would "justifiably" shoot some random person in the dark with zero warning then hide the body or feed it to pigs without thinking it was a good idea to tell the police or government (who are "totally" out to get them and are part of some worldwide conspiracy)

I have a genuine question as to why no one suspects wildlife especially if it was in a remote area. granted one could suspect that there would be blood, torn clothing or other evidence, but he could have seen eyes reflected in whatever light he had, panicked, and then fled and fell into the river or whatever else. Apparently its not uncommon for them to wander near agricultural zones to snack on corn and the like.

[@RockyRoad-w1q]

If that were the case I feel like they would’ve at least found the phone, since it was on the whole time. Also, it wouldn’t explain his scent on the farmers equipment.

Only wildlife around that could hurt him is a cougar or a coyote

Not necessarily, a lot of farmers do not trust law enforcement(understandably); when the farmer said no the cops, being lazy, probably just decided he was a disgruntled farmer who didn’t like cops and that they’d have an easier time leaving him alone. Should they have gotten a warrant bc of the scent? Absolutely. But saying no doesn’t make you a suspect, especially if you come from a community with a reputation for not trusting cops.

[@sarajane7532]

Here's what I think may have happened! I think it's still the farmer theory. I was speculating, and it seems likely that it could have been accidental. Some farmers are up late at night/early in the morning. If they're using larger combines, it's possible that the farmer may not have even seen him. The parents may not have even heard it should it be like a tractor or combine. They're large machines, but 2008 phones also weren't that amazing. Human memory is also unreliable. It's possible that the parents may have even picked up on it while on the phone but not remembered. If Brandon had visual issues and drank enough where he wound up crashing his car and wound up 30miles away from where he though, it's possible that he wasn't coherent enough to notice a vehicle coming through crops. It's possible that it was more of an "oh shit (what is that coming towards me?)" and then it was enough to smack him down. It's hard to say, but I think the farmer theory definitely tracks in one way or another. Especially with how he told the police he wasn't going to cooperate. Not cooperating isn't inherently suspicious, but there are too many chips in place for it to mean nothing.

16:00 Why the hell hasn't that farmer been investigated? Are the cops seriously so useless?

[@lauramoses1271]

A lot of farmers do not trust law enforcement. The cops, being lazy as they often are, decided he was probably an old grouchy farmer who didn’t like cops and that *they*(the cops)would have an easier time leaving the farmer alone. They absolutely should have gotten a warrant to search the property based on scent alone but cops are lazy and if you’re white and don’t like them and they don’t have enough reason to bother you they’ll just leave you alone for their own sake.

Hey BionicPig, i just wanted to let you know that i have really liked these videos, but i've also really liked your past content as well. Despite having watched multiple people cover this case, i still watched your entire video through because you have a unique way of telling the story. Your videos are always a blast :) Just make whatever content you want and it'll still be great because you bring a certain flair to whatever you cover. Sorry for how long-winded this was.

I'm loving the true crime type video , pig! Looking forward to more 😊🎉

No. The gravel roads there are laid out in a perfect grid. They are relatively easy to navigate (if you're not drunk). He was born and raised in this area. There's no reason to believe this was his "first time ever" down these roads. Yes, he clearly got turned around - that's part of the mystery - HOW he got confused because, again, his entire life was spent in this area. He couldn't have "easily" ended up so far away from where he thought he was, because he would have had to cross highway 68 to get to where he thought he was (which he would have known). The sheriff's department walked the river (which really is more the size of a creek) every day for 30 days, not 1 week. ALSO, Brandon's scent was NOT found on equipment. A cadaver dog hit on the equipment. That is not specific to Brandon. They only smelled decay in general.

i really loved the video Even more because your channel alreay had this kinda sadd/ creepy vibe to it, so it fits really well

[@PrplRobin]

I think it's good to have this every once in a while, it could increase the chances of the cases being solved after so long.

[@ProfPeeWee]

Love these types of videos

Nicely done as always pig, keep up the good work. Another strange case also involving phone calls with a disturbing side is the case of Henry McCabe. Definitely worth reading about, a good video on is was made by the Missing Enigma. Cheers.

I dont think it was another person cuz the parents were on the phone, they wouldve heard a struggle or a shooting, if he was drowning they wouldve heard that too though, this case really freaks me out ive heard it so many times but its just baffling that someone can jsut disappear like that

[@tommy5726]

Very interested in this 😢 well told 😮more plz x

[@grimmick9446]

As someone who lives in the swamps. Its scary driving at night because of the lack of artificial light. No home lights around, rarely ever any headlights or other cars, adding to a sense of isolation. No street lights no stoplights. Just long roads with inclines you can't see past , snd emptiness on each side

[@JOURNEYIN2THEUNKNOWN]

This was covered by Morbid on Spotify and that's what brought me to your video They definitely needed to search the farmer's property. I live in the country also and anyone running across my property at 2am is gonna be shot at, also. Mainly bc we don't have a police dept, we also have had 2 bodies found on My road before, and we have a prison that has had people escape just 8 miles away. We are encouraged to carry out here and I have children to protect.
