A shame the ongoing discussion thread got whacked. It was an OT top 10. It got erased because of peej and Chris and their typical inferiority contest.


I remember that thread very well. It started going off the deep end when people were posting links to some message board for psychics. I remember them thinking this case was possibly linked to all the blondes that went missing in the midwest too. Judging by the dates those girls went missing, they were def killed by someone who worked offshore as well.

Interested to know if you and your dad told your sister what you were doing and found out or if you told the police and let them tell her.

Hard to believe it have been 5 years. Dateline should have had OT screenshots.

After they started posting pics of the truck and we had found out about the sex offender thing, I started putting together a timeline. Wife literally called me crazy. It pretty much consumed my FIL and I for a 2-3 week period. After all the evidence we found I told him he was crazy if he didn't call it in. I ended up calling a friend who is a detective for the Lafayette PD and told him everything I knew. I later found out my FIL did the same the day after.

There is a lot of crazy shite involved


Yeah I followed that discussion thread like it was my job. I remember when the story was starting to coalesce on here and then all of a sudden informational posts were getting whacked and deleted. My SO was like WTF are you doing on there all the time. Chill, they bout to bust this POS mofo!

Many people were obsessed with the case. It was a real life murder-mystery.

I grew up where he ran her down on the ULL property.

BLS said he gave police the location of the body because he felt bad, but the Police Chief told me it was only to avoid the needle. He also told me BSL put cayenne pepper on the grave to throw off any dogs.

I was in the court room for the trial and rode in the elevator with the prosecutors after. I told them good job!

Ive often thought some folks should write to BSL in prison and just recount their day full of freedom and what they did all day just to rub it in that he's in that hell hole of Angola. From a PO box, of course.

Hell yes he should. Chicken could give him some seed money in exchange for td mentions in the script.

Old school tag... I'm in for the recap.

It's been 5 years...memory is a little off as to how many days passed between events so bear with me here:

So I get a call at work one day from my FIL saying Brandon showed up at some church thing with bandages saying he was stabbed while pumping gas in nola. The story was that he faught them off, drove to a hospital in NOLA, and got stitched up. We found it rather odd that he didn't file a police report or anything like that.

Few days later I get another call from FIL saying SIL pulled a background report (obviously we were all asking ourselves WTF about his story) and we found out he had a class 3 sex offense. I posted that thread that night asking for advice or a number to call to get the details. Someone here gave me the rayne DA's number and we had a chat...found out all of the details.


- Few days later the truck was blasted all over news and social media...FIL and I had a "funny" talk about "holy shite that's the same truck as Brandon...what if???"

- another week or so passed and they started saying they found a bike on whiskey bay. I call FIL with this crazy timeline theory along the lines of "OK, so hear me out. Brandon abducts girl, girl stabs Brandon, Brandon kills girl, throws bike and maybe body over whiskey bay, drives to nola to get treated for [stab wounds] at hospital. FIL basically in agreement but that's just far too crazy and doesn't happen to people like us

- FIL calls and says Brandon drives around behind their property to throw away bloody shirt. Says it's the shirt he was wearing the night of the stabbing and he just wanted to toss it. Drives off but stops halfway down the driveway and puts truck in park for what seemed like 10-15 minutes

-FIL now on board with my crazy arse theory and calls to tell me Brandon's truck is parked outside his house with 4 brand new tires..insignificant

-FIL calls few days later saying Brandon has new truck. He comes into town that night for us to all go to dinner. He says his new truck has "dons wholesale" sticker so I call and ask if they had Brandon's truck and that I was a friend/wanted to buy it. They say Brandon never traded anything in.

-another week goes by and they find a white Silverado burned in Texas that was started by tires.

-At this point I'm losing sleep and pacing through apartment. I told FIL if he doesn't call someone I will. I ended up calling a friend of mine who is a detective for LPD. He tells me he's literally shaking and they weren't even remotely looking into this guy. Tells me he will call back soon.

- I get the call to come in and do video interview. They say they are looking into it and they will be in touch.

- at least a month goes by where I hear absolutely nothing. They were on to some teenager or something that ended up being a dead end. It wasn't until like 4-5 weeks later before they even legitimately looked into Brandon.

- I get the call from my friend..."it's him." 5 minutes later my FIL calls and tells me he went in and reported everything as well with the sheriffs dept. his guy called and said "it's him."

- another 3 weeks goes by and we have to sit down for fricking Father's Day. We had to sit there at the god damn table and look this frick in the eyes knowing he killed someone. He had this smug fricking look that I will never forget. My fists were literally clinched under the table. (Keep in mind only my FIL and our wives know at this point)

-we get the call that he is coming in from offshore and they will have cops every few miles hidden to track his trip home. I remember my detective friend saying he was driving abnormally fast

-they pull Brandon over for routine traffic stop. FIL goes to the jail like y'all see on dateline and I went to SIL house to let them search the property for a body. They had helicopters, search dogs, and entire crime lab sweeping house and 40 something acres.

We ended up giving them so much shite that they didn't really have to do much work. FBI got involved for a second to triangulate position via cell records and the case was closed. He had no choice but to confess.

He later tried to sue my FIL and I....


I'm forgetting a ton of stuff but I'm drunk and that's the best I can do right now

At some point during that massive thread...I got drunk to celebrate and couldn't stay off of TD. I posted something along the lines of "they are about to make a major break" and the OT gurus somehow linked my thread asking for advice about my future sex offender BIL. I woke up the next morning going "awwww frick"

She had no idea. That was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my entire life was "pretend" to act normal when we knew for sure it was him. Broke my heart and same for in laws. She was happy.

Brandon was a very intelligent and charming dude. It's scary to think how many people are out there who can fool people that easily.

My FIL and I were onto him from day 1 for some reason.

This shite is too good. Adam you really solved that case, I mean you can't make this shite up. You should absolutely write a book and it should be made into a movie.

ETA I remember both threads and used to look forward to each morning at work so I could catch up. Had to be the best thread (the Schunick one) about the case and clues and leads. I mean how you kept quiet when you knew for that time. WOW
