Oh, and, for the record, there's my naivety showing, as it never entered my head that the parents might be involved.

Weren't there witnesses who saw him walking along the trail after his parents had called him missing? I guess they could have done something to him sometime after that, but I am going to wait and see before I out and out accuse them.

(I just quoted you, Karrie, I am not saying that you are accusing the parents. Honest.:smile:)

Did someone actually conclude that here? I believe we speculated...

It's still a terrible end to this story, and my heart does go out to the family. I'm also relieved to hear that it looks like they weren't involved.

Speculation is bad enough, it leads to finger pointing then blame and before you know the reputation of the individuals is ruined.

Remember that poor bastard from the altlanta olympics?

Nobody ever puts themselves in the situation, they treat it like a tv show....it's sick.:roll:

I hate to say it, but those same thoughts crossed my mind. Yet I really didn't want to mention it because I think ...what if the family or parents are doing searches on their missing child's name... and somehow stumble upon a thread here about their plight - and here we are conjecturing all kinds of things about what might have happened and tossing about the possibility of their involvement.

Well that's their fault in looking into topics online such as these ones. It should be a given, no matter how much you're aware of your own innocence, that there will be some who will think you had some responsibility/involvement in their death, etc..... when police are investigating a murder or suspicious death, the first place they look is family.... .why should other people not think in the same process?

Sure they may come onto something like this topic and get all huffy puffy, offended, and the sort, but it's to be expected that there will be a few people who think something else happened other then what they want people to think.

All I know is if that was my child, I'd already be crazy with worry - then reading some forum posts about other people wondering if I'd done it - I'd come completely unglued right then and there. Looney bin for me. (ya ya I know, short trip lolll)

Perhaps, and I imagine the first thing that would be crossing my mind would be that everyone would assume I had involvement and I would prepare myself for that. If I was thinking most people or some people thought this way about me, the last thing I would be doing is venturing onto the internet to see what other's think, lol.

It's just such a horrific, unnatural thought - a parent harming their own child. Ugh. That poor family. I hope my jaded, cynical thoughts about 'what might have happened' are wrong..... I really do.

Unfortunatly it does happen.... if the mother in Bridgewater wasn't a case for this example, then that jackass in Austria who kept his children locked away for his sexual pleasure would be.

The thing that also raises questions is why did this last witness just suddenly come forward with their sighting a day or two before they found him and not earlier? Doen't listen to the radio or watch TV?

This whole situation doesn't add up no matter which angle you look at it.

Hypothermia suspected in Brandon Crisp's death

So much for everyone jumping to conclusions about his parents killing him.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

Yeah well I'm not, get over it.

Until something is ruled out, every concept is open game..... including the parents.

For me it was either hypothermia or the parents... hypothermia being the obvious, while the parents required a bit more information to conclude..... but that doesn't mean anybody was wrong in thinking they might have had involvement in it.

And technically they did.... but there's no good that will come from going into those details.

Oh well that's life. If you close your mind from possibilities just so you don't seem like an evil jerk, you stand the chance of having tunnel vision in an investigation and perhaps coming to the wrong conclusions regardless..... which can be just as evil as someone could get away with murder..... which has happened in many cases in history..... all for the sake that "Oh well they couldn't have done that, they're such great people."

And nobody concluded that the parents did this, but the possibility was there, no matter how much you hate it.

Oh, and no I don't remember that guy from the olympics.
