This was incredibly interesting to make, but also very eerie, especially Brandon Swanson & Brandon Lawson's case. What are your theories on their disappearances?
@@bonjovirocks24 I bet he will regret that for the rest of his life. He is an idiot cause he tried keeping out of trouble with the cops, but he should have realized(even not knowing that Brandon had already called the cops) that if someone isn't with their car in the middle of nowhere then something is up.
You said you don't like to release the 911 calls because they're disrespectful to the families, which is kind of you; but I assure you, the families of the missing don't mind. They will generally do what ever they can to get the word out, and will often beg police and media to release these calls. So you're doing a good thing.
I'd like to have some faith in humanity that even a primitive, possibly cannibalistic, tribe wouldn't cold bloodily kill a man they knew and butcher him in this fashion. A stranger maybe, but not someone you have broken bread with. But people are cruel and defy logic and if it wasn't for that picture of the naked white guy I would definitely say he either drown or was killed. That picture tho...
Lacey Roberson It makes you really wonder, and unfortunately we probably will never know. I don't know how the guy who took the footage wouldn't notice him though.
Lacey Roberson I've studied cannibalistic tribes with my professor who is an expert on the subject and has traveled and still is involved with many of the tribes in Brazil accused of cannibalism. I won't go into all the research but the gist of it is that these tribes don't and wouldn't eat random people. Kill you, yes, but likely not eat you. There are a few examples of cannibalism tribes that actually cannibalize people practice: consumption of dead family members as a way to respect their bodies (this is done very reluctantly and met with lots of vomiting but their religion makes it necessary), medical consumption of bone powder and other uses mainly practiced by Europeans until mid 19th century. Cannibalism of enemies as a way to completely demoralize their enemies in war, I believe the Kayapo in Brazil did this and would stake body parts to terrorize their enemy tribes this is also done reluctantly and is only done for the enemies most powerful warriors (the ones with the most kills) and is also considered an honor by the ones eaten. They would not eat a European as almost all of these tribes considered outsiders to be unworthy. And then survival cannibalism which needs no explanation. These are the only well documented versions of cannibalism done by groups of people and as you can see all are done reluctantly and usually saved for special honors. The tribes people made fun of my professor for his European features as most cultures do but they also told him he wouldn't be cannibalized because his flesh is not from their land from their religion and is such tainted and would be poison to their religious consumption. However they WOULD kill you if you fuck with them lol anyway the point was the cannibalism story is very very very unlikely based on statistics. All the other stories of gross cannibalism in Brazil are controversial at best and most proven false and the rest are suspect to stereotypical racism.
Here's a more accurate transcript for Brandon Lawson's 911 call: Operator: “911 emergency.” Brandon: “Yes, I'm in the middle of a field, I think we just pushed some guys over. (We’re out here) going towards Abilene on both sides. My truck ran out of gas, there’s one car here, a guy’s chasing me into the woods. Please hurry!” Operator: “Ok, now run that by me one more…” Brandon: “And we’re not talking to ‘em. I accidentally ran into ‘em.” Operator: “Ah, you ran into ‘em, ok!” Brandon: “Yes, the first guy. [The operator and Brandon speak at the same time, saying]: Brandon: (“I’ve got cuts!) Operator: “Do you need an ambulance? Brandon: “Yes, No! I need the cops! OPERATOR: “Ok… Is anybody hurt? Hello… Hello… Hello.
+Despicable Zed Possibly a combination of what he was wearing and that the other people simply wouldn't expect to see a lone human swimming out in those waters.
I think Brandon Lawson suddenly stopped speaking because the voice that appears to say 'Yes' noticed he was around and he tried to keep quiet to avoid detection. That's the simplest explanation I think.
He also whispers "help me" at 11:22 if you turn up the volume high. Was pointed out in another comment, and gave me a chill when I heard it. This poor man was most likely murdered.
I have driven that area of west Texas many times and you do not want to be driving those roads late at night and especially not armed. There are drug dealers that move through that area from the border. And on a side note that is about to get 1000 times worse.
I have a question about Brandon Swanson- did they ever find his phone!? It was said that he cursed then hung up, but the dad called back and the phone rang but no one answered. So did they find the phone?
Maybe someone else noticed this, in the last case, Brandon is clearly out of breath from running. From what or whom is the question. He couldn't have "run into (them)" because the truck is not damaged, he means came across them. He has a history of drug use, maybe it was deal gone awry?
I think the one about Brandon Lawson was just a drug deal gone wrong. Either, like said in the video, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, or he was in it and someone didn't like the deal
Does anyone know what the escalating rumble is at the end of the 911 call? In between the 'Hello....' of the operator. I personally think he ran out of gas, got out of his truck and walked around to get signal on his phone, then after he spoke to his brother about coming to get him, he may have walked a few meters in to the woods to go to the toilet and then saw something like a drug deal or some sort of execution happening. His voice is full of panic, he's short of breath because he is extremely frightened of what he has/is seeing. He says that he's not talking to them, or expressing the fact that he doesn't want to approach them and he just ran in to them. He then tries to describe what he has seen so far. I think it goes silent because someone involved in the drug deal/whatever over hears Brandon say 'cops', and Brandon doesn't want to move or say anything to reveal his position. I also don't think Brandon is alone at this point, I think there is another person with him. Sadly, I think they get wise to Brandon's presence and they chase him, ultimately killing him and disposing of the body.
I mean, you could be onto something there, as it was in Texas and there are known Mexican Cartel associates operating in the Southwest US. It also was on an infrequently used stretch of desert road as well..
Keep in mind that he called his brother after the 911 call, and there was nothing to indicate anyone was after him (at that point) - he was supposedly bleeding and in a field). Some friends and locals suspect that he was experiencing psychosis due to drug/alcohol usage and potential undiagnosed mental illness or mental fatigue - after an argument with his girlfriend. It could explain why he might have wandered off, in a paranoid state...only to succumb to and injury and/or the elements. Human remains, in similar cases, are sometimes located with a bit of luck via someone like a hunter, hiker, or land surveyor. But finding his bones soon in a wild area is not realistic (often people die within a cave or crevice for warmth), since that would be a tiny needle in the proverbial haystack. Nevertheless, I hope they find his remains within his family's lifetime.
Richard Meader I think that sound is wind. It's very windy in that part of Texas. As for the rest I've no idea. I wish they'd find something for his poor family though.
It sounds like Brandon says "a trooper has guys pulled over these guys and has taken them into the woods..... "Sounds like a hit . Maybe he was in the wrong place , wrong time.witness stuff he shouldn't have.
A man in a hole halfway across the world can be found (Bin Laden) but a plane with 237 people on it get lost forever... I'll BRB lemme go get my tinfoil hat before I finish this
I'd like to say that even though "top 5"s or "top 10s" are fairly common, yours by far have the best content and your hard work and extensive research really do show in these video's. I think I subscribed near the beginning of your TH-cam journey and your progress is impressive. I hope you continue to make videos for many years to come 😊
I'm from Houston, TX and trust, me, it is easy to get lost in this state. Thank you for being so respectful to Brandon's family. I'm sure they much appreciated you getting his story out there.
On Brandon's call you can hear cars in the background. And from the way he's talking, he's out of breath. I think he saw something, tried to help and was punished for it.
That case is creepier and more twisted than we know. I had a friend that was from down there and he claimed cops were covering things up and they know in fact where the body is cause they put it there. Believe it or not but my friend got to vocal on Facebook and was murdered by a gunshot to the head one night and was quickly deemed a suicide. Look up Jed Nesbitt.
Dude probably told his tribeman mates that if anyone comes looking for me just tell them you ate me. Anyone searching remote jungle that came across cannibals claiming to consume an outsider is pretty much going to leave it at that.
You know... I find some of the material you cover to sometimes be silly (most is actually great, though), and I don't agree with you on certain things. But you absolutely deserve to be commended on your never ending respect and graciousness towards others and the topic matter at hand.You touch on some hard topics and, instead of using the most heavy of them to benefit yourself, you manage to take the high road by voicing your concern and respect for people and events. I really like that and I appreciate it. You keep being you. It's awesome.
I think Michael did stay with the tribe and they are told by him to say they killed him...his family would never have been ok with it anyway around. just my opinion and I can in no way blame him for not wanting to be a Rockefeller anymore. lol
Respect to Lawson and his family, but I believe he was set up. Think about this; his car ran outta gas in a dirt road area, and then that was later followed by a gunshot when he mentioned he was confronted by another person. He mentions he was with someone saying "we" and "we're." Suddenly after mentioning he needs police, he goes silent, and doesn't speak for a brief moment. I say the person with him set him up, and when things went wrong bam, he was faced with what could've been his murderer for all we know. That explains why he would later run off into the woods indicating he was being chased by someone, and pronounced missing and/or dead.
That's a pretty elaborate set up to be able to coordinate when and where a vehicle will run out of gas. Have a lot a variables to contend with like a person's free will not to drive out in the boonies with a gas hand nearing E. Him running out of gas seems to be legit because that's something that would have been mentioned if not. And seems like a pain in the ass place to do a drug deal even if a lot of merchandise was being exchanged. The full, unedited 911 call needs to be released.
But his brother spoke to him *after* the 911 call, and there was nothing to indicate anyone was after him (at that point) - he was supposedly bleeding and in a field during that call. Locally, it's assumed by some people that he experienced psychosis due to his drug/alcohol usage and mental fatigue or illness, after a fight with his girlfriend. If ever located, his remains are expected to be found within the adjacent wilderness area to where it's believed he wandered and eventually succumbed to an injury and/or the elements. And, yes, his car was out of gas which logically points more to him being the cause of his own disappearance, as +Lacey Roberson explains.
4:58 "Once they realized it was Mike, a man who had visited them before they surrounded and killed him" how the hell does that even go together. It's like me saying "I drove home and saw someone in the street who I initially though was a stranger but once I realized it was my next door neighbor I put the pedal to the metal and ran his ass over."
+Robby Morin Well said, all you ever get are grainy images. If they can put the Hubble in space surly decent cameras are not beyond these people........
Im thinking there's a reason why most of the cameras dont show good clear pictures were like faces and car reg numbers stuff like that can be recognized ? Them shady few dont want us to have proof to certain things,
So you want to give up your freedom for a bit of security that doesn't exist. The camera will just capture your death. How about hell no we don't need the government installing cameras. Read the constitution dude. You are obviously not an American.
13:49.....sounds like he says "guys are chasing me through the woods" instead of "taken through the woods", also the Brandon Swanson call, i think he was hit by a car, the person panicked and possibly picked the body up, took it elsewhere for disposal....just a theory
could have been drug deal or some mafia/government illegal stuff too. Also i dont rule some crazy murican who got offended by parked car in that place and maybe shot poor guy cause of that, we heard tons of stories similar to this
You are a fantastic creator of content. You're professional, concise, and do your research. It's so nice to have somebody that reads the facts in a calm tone. You don't feel the need to unnecessarily curse and film yourself. Thanks for what you do!
TH-camrs who feel the need to film themselves, curse inappropriately, and who stretch certain facts only to make their content seem more wild, are just click bait creators. Top 5 is literally one of the very best content creators who specializes in showcasing paranormal footage and explain the strange and bizarre experiences that some people may encounter. I’ve come across several other TH-camrs who upload similar content but they’re a far cry in comparison to the consistent quality content that Top 5 manages to put out with every single video he makes. Top 5 really is a cut above the rest!
On the last one he clearly says "got guys chasing me through the woods", not "I got taken through the woods" He also says "help me" at the 11:22 mark. Turn your volume up loud and you can't hear it faintly.
collecting evidences too for the video proofs that how hard you work out just to make a single video deliverd perfectly in front of your viewers! thats what awsome is.
definitely subscribed, I find mysterious disappearances fascinating but it's so hard to find any videos that offer fresh new or lesser known cases, they are all always the same but I only knew about one of the cases you put up. awesome vid and very curious cases indeed!! I agree with others here that you should do more disappearances including the David Paulides national forest cases as I certainly want to know more about those. thanks for your hard work and great videos!
i can understand what the last guys is saying basically that he ran out of gas and that he probably waved a car down he tried talking to them something happen and he got chased into the woods and gos on to say i shot the first guy and says i need the cops .. but i think he stays quiet because he is hiding and he can hear them coming and doesn't want to give his position away .. but the crazy part in this audio is right before the dispatcher says hello for the last time if you listen very closely you can hear him whisper help me !! they were probably very close to him at that point that's why you can hear an other voice in the background when hes talking .. crazy man!! you can hear him say help me at 11:21 .. i might be the first one who has caught that !!
Your videos are phenomenal followed you since like 20K subscribers, mad to see how fast it grew, you deserve it and never fail to make boring videos. Keep it up pal:)
I live around 10 minutes away from Andiamo (formerly known as the Red Fox) and I go there for lunch frequently! There's no tribute or any sort of indication that Jimmy Hoffa disappeared there, which I always found interesting. Great food, though.
I feel sorry for the families who lost loved ones. But sometimes people can go missing for years and return home which would surprise loads of people with questions.
they're all so sad but i feel bad for the girlfriend in #1. she has to forever live with the fact that the last time she saw him they were fighting. that 911 call was really strange. almost seems like he wasn't talking to the operator but at times it does. the 1st thing he says seems like he's talking to her but then he starts saying things that don't fit the context of what she's saying. she says run that by me again and he says i told you i just ran into them and no I'm not talking to them. then wtf when he doesn't hang up but everything goes completely silent. now I'm going to be googling and youtube on Brandon Lawson all night :-(
Yea it's almost like he was running with someone and they were paranoid that he was possibly talking to whomever was after them. It could be that he was walking down the rode and ran into someone being chased by another person(he says he ran into the "first guy"). Maybe guy number 1 says we gotta run and Brandon sees a car speeding their way, he instinctively starts to book it and calls 911. While on the phone maybe guy 1 doesn't really trusts Brandon and thinks he's working with the Person/people chasing them at this point they've been chased into a field towards some woods. Brandon seems irate about having to repeatedly tell guy 1 that doesn't know their pursuers(maybe guy 1 doesn't speak English very well?). Brandon probably gets mixed up when asked about the ambulance because one of them does in fact need medical help(guy 1?) but decides that getting the police there is priority. Not sure why everything goes silent , but the very quiet "help me" could me guy 1 falling behind.
+karaso0 i saw an interpretation of what he might have been saying in the beginning that might make sense. someone said it sounds like...escaper just pushed a couple of guys over
+karaso0 I'm not sure exaCtly what it would mean. originally i was thinking maybe if the cops had someone pulled over i guess technically he would be an escaper and maybe because he was out of gas he saw the flasHing lights and walked over for help. i don't know but it is very creepy
Must be one of the worst feeling knowing a family member is missing not knowing what has happens to them. Either that they are still alive or dead. Just breaks your heart.
OMG i absolutely love this channel it is so informative.............this is my last day on the internet............for some time and i got so happy seeing that you released a video keep up the good work man
ooohhhhh damn my bad..............last day on the on TH-cam kinda............i am giving up social media for studies..........................and not lying for attention............i thought no one would see this comment.......not last day at all........more like a new beginning maybe
I must have listened to the Brandon Lawson 991 tape about twenty times and I still don't understand the part about "......pushed some guys over......." I live about an hour away from where this incident took place and don't ever recall hearing about it in the news. Thank you for taking the time to bring these cases back to light. Maybe one of your viewers can bring one of these families closure.
Rayford Carpathia it seems like there was more than one car involved going the same way down the road on both sides there must have been some kind of incident. He says he ran out of gas (and his car was later found abandoned dangerously on the road side)and then he says there's one car here.... the guy's chasin me through the woods. Seems like there was some kind of road rage fight and he was chased down and beat up and killed then the guy's took him to the point 4 miles away at least where his phone last pinged to dispose of his body.
But his brother spoke to him *after* the 911 call, and there was nothing to indicate anyone was after him (at that point) - he was supposedly bleeding and in a field during that call. Locally. it's assumed by some people that he experienced psychosis due to his drug/alcohol usage and mental fatigue or illness, shortly after a fight with his girlfriend. If ever located, his remains are expected to be found within the adjacent wilderness area(s) to where it's believed he wandered and eventually succumbed to an injury and/or the elements.
Brandon Lawson I believe says "I'm in the middle of a field and a sniper just perched some guys over" The operator shouldn't have acted like she knew what he was saying like " Ahhh you ran into em* Idk, I hope this gets solved.
NO LIE. this video was released on the same day that my best friend Derryck W. Jones died in conroe, tx. Not a coincidence. RIP Derryck. I miss you buddy.
My great uncle used to fly planes with first aide and food and other supplies. I forgot who he worked for. He and his plane disappeared over the Pacific Ocean and hasn’t ever been found. It’s a family mystery. I have a theory that he purposely disappeared.
In the Brandon Lawson call I honestly believe he says "no, we're not talking to em" .. Key word being WE'RE , also I sounds as if another voice says "yea" after she asks if they need an ambulance... This is pretty creepy for sure.
TheZincZipper it is someone with him possibly someone he knows or happened upon indicating more than one person was in need? I'm not sure what led up to that but its sounding like he was ambushed but he was scared to ask the 911 operator for an ambulance? cause she when asked he said send the cops and then the person in the background replies "yeah" after the question implying someone needed medical assistance.....something was amiss and I beleive he was murdered
Thanks for the awareness on Brandon Lawson. I'm friends of the family and I've seen them so full of hope this entire time. I sincerely hope they figure out what happened.
The weirdest disappearance I've heard of is the Dutch women that went missing in a Panama jungle. Their phone records and camera metadata showed that they'd been still alive more than a week after they went missing.
+79Bobola Yeah and also way before they went missing, a guy from England also went missing there too. The family of the guy wanted to put a warning out for flying out there after they heard that two women went missing.
5: Murdered by a criminal gang, doesn't really matter what happened to his body aside from the fact that it was gotten rid of. 4: Drowned. Some journalist hack decides to make money off of him because of his famous family by making up a cannibal story. 3: Murdered, maybe by a serial killer. Insistence by family that the missing person is alive is a common occurence, but its simply denial. 2: Now this one IS interesting. Very mysterious. Perhaps he suffered from a psychotic episode which could've confused him as to where he was, causing him to misdirect his parents and hanging up on them despite being in a bad situation?
omegastar19 psychotic breaks can and often do occur without much warning, and without the person having any kind of mental illness history, but I'm not sure if it's a full explanation... Deff seems like something else might have been going on that he shouldn't have seen...
I think the kid in #2 hit his head during the accident and had a concussion that's why he thought he was somewhere when he was somewhere else, after that who knows could have walked into the woods and got lost and passed out and died from his injuries or the elements
Someone else probably driving infront of him with another car beside it and got into a road rage incident. He pulls over and watches it play out til he realizes his truck is out of gas and runs. He tell us how someone was pushed off the road and walked into the woods. He witnessed a murder.
animals probably, with rare cases of suicides and serial killers. Most people who dissapeared in usa , those places mostly have caves according to statistics
I live in Abilene, right off the highway going towards San Angelo(the highway is literally my front yard) and their are still billboards and talk of Brandon. It's extremely nerve racking knowing he could've been murdered or kidnapped right in front of our home, if not just a few miles away) while we slept wow
I was raised in San Angelo TX. You have no idea how sketched out this town is. Crazy how a grown man can disappear and nothing is to be found. Rather sad. It's full of nothing but dope heads an crooked cops.
In the Brandon Lawson clip, you can hear someone say "help me" after the operator says "Hello?" for the second from last time. She doesn't seem to hear it though. Sounds like someone has been hurt.
+Emi the Gamer JR. After having another listen you can hear footsteps at 11:17 They don't get closer or further away, he's running with the phone. Seems like he's trying to get someone's attention.
After listening to the Brandon Lawson clip over and over again with headphones, this is what I think he could possibly be saying. And when I say criminal, I'm referring to the people the State Troopers pulled over. Whether or not they are truly criminals is to be known. I'll just call them criminals to make this easier to understand. "Yes, I'm in the middle of the field, *state troopers* pulled some guys over.. Right here, goin'towards Abilene, on both sides (Meaning State trooper cars parked on both sides of the road?).. My truck ran out of gas... There's one car here (criminals car). *He's (State Trooper) chasin' a guy (criminal) into the woods.* Please hurry. *There's one guy (Trooper) talking to em (criminal)* *I totally ran into em*(walked upon the scene after he ran out of gas and started walking?) *They (Trooper) shot the first guy*(criminal) What I think could have happened was Brandon ran out of gas and started walking. He then came upon 2 State Trooper cars, one parked on each side of the road, and they had pulled over another (unknown) car with multiple occupants. The direction the cars are facing is towards the town Abilene. He sees one State Trooper chasing one of the criminals into the woods. Maybe thr person they pulled over decided to run from the Troopers?.. Brandon sees the other State Trooper talking to the other criminal that was in the car they pulled over. Brandon then says he had ran into em, as if he's stating he just came upon the situation after walking because he ran out of gas. Then Brandon says the Trooper shot the 1st criminal. (shot the crininal who's getting chased into the woods or shot the criminal the other state trooper was talking to). Now beyond that, you guys can come up with your own assumptions. Did the State Troopers mess up and shoot an innocent person they pulled over, Brandon witnessed it and the Troopers had to kill Brandon as well to cover it up? I dont know. I would hope that's not the case as I greatly respect our law enforcement and appreciate all they do. Again, this is just a possibility. Maybe I'm way off here but let me know what ya guys think.
Why would he panic and then call 9-1-1 for the cops, if the cops were already there? I don't think there would be that much panic in the man's voice if that were the case. In actuality, if our car ran out of gas in the middle of the desert on some backwoods road and we walked upon some police officers, we would be RELIEVED. He also stated he was in the "middle of a field". I gotta go with he saw some vehicles parked on the sides of the roadway, and figured to try and find whoever they belonged to in order to ask them for a ride to the nearest gas station or to call for some type of roadside assistance. What he found, however, was how he disappeared..
Did you know innocent people call 911 for help from the cops and then end up getting killed by those same greatly respected cops that they called for help in the first place.
After listening to Lawson's 911 call, I think it's fair to deduce a couple of facts. He'd already called his brother for assistance, and 911 is reserved for emergency calls. In the call he sounds like he's out of breath- a clear indication that he's either been running or he's completely unnerved. He also says "I ran into them" which the operator mistakes for actually hitting them with the car but it's much more likely he means he "ran" into someone in the unexpected way. It does seem like he came upon something unsavory; however, there isn't enough data. It might be pertinent to know if he was involved with drugs, in any way, and what exactly he and his wife were arguing about before he left. To clarify, it's highly likely the poor man ran out of gas, called his brother, noticed some activity in the dark, investigated, was found out and then probably taken another 4 miles away where his phone pinged and this is probably where/when he was murdered. Concerning Swanson, though, I think he might have been involved in something that's not being made clear. The guy was from the area and seemed to know it well. If his vehicle was really not in the area that he said it was in, it seems much more likely that he was being dishonest about what was going on. He may have actually disappeared (on purpose) as opposed to any foul play. The Claudia Lawrence case sounds really depressing, but we certainly don't have enough evidence to indicate whether or not there was foul play. I don't think the guy in the video was carrying any body parts, but the fact that he paused while the passerby walked in front of him was startling. Perhaps, like some of these others, she too had secrets that may have gotten the better of her. The Rockefeller case totally intrigues me! This is similar to the "Into the Wild" guy who was ostensibly very wealthy, but shunned his way of life in favor of something different. I don't think a tribe that he had been around and, perhaps had to earn the respect of, attacked him and consumed him. It's likely that he asked them to become one of the tribe and they accepted him into their tribe. The picture of the white man among the warriors is a strong piece of evidence in favor of this idea. Jimmy Hoffa is likely dead. This is a mystery which many of us are familiar with and I think that Hoffa either ended up on the wrong side of the mob, and we all have a keen idea of what that entails; or, he, possibly like Swanson, Lawrence or Rockefeller, simply disappeared with their help and started a life somewhere else. Although I'd be more likely to believe that the other three chose this over Hoffa who was a powerful, respected and enterprising man. I think missing persons cases are the worst cases. People yearn to KNOW the TRUTH. When people disappear, we can never be sure if they fell down a ravine, crossed some figure we'd never even recognize or were simply abducted by the mothership. I've personally never dealt with this myself, but my heart goes out to the families of all the missing people. It has to be a horrible thing to go to sleep not knowing, wake up not knowing, always scanning crowds and doing double-takes on any people who look similar. I don't comment on all the Top 5's videos, but I'm a big fan of them. I find them thought-provoking and informative about subjects that I'm admittedly very curious about. I've always been a big fan of the 'unknown' and I'm glad that you at Top 5's bring a little illumination into the dark fringes of our world. Thank you ever so much... -E
This was incredibly interesting to make, but also very eerie, especially Brandon Swanson & Brandon Lawson's case. What are your theories on their disappearances?
So creepy man
niceee
Top5s Please, do a ET of Varginha documentary video.
i think number 2 is alien work
Eerie creepy!!!
Could you do five disappearances which have been solved where the truth was more confusing than any of the theories?
Emma Vaughan
Do this
Good luck with that
Would make a decent video tho
Emma Vaughan hello
Eerie
"when the tribe realized it was Michael, someone they knew, they killed him and beheaded him...."
what?
Its how they say hi
I know, right? Even for a tribe that practises headhunting and cannibalism, surely they wouldn’t have hurt him if they knew him?
Just cause you know somebody doesn’t mean you like them 😂
This is exactly what I thought 😂
EditorOfSL they’re don’t have morals. Thank god most tribes are dying out
The moral of the story? Make sure your car is full of gas before driving random backwoods streets in the middle of the night
exactly
+The Chad Last Saturday, my gas was full. But battery died on me. But I reached home safely.
+69 Solo that's why I have a old school Russian lada if the battery dies it has a manual crank start in the boot :)
+Slippschitts Hey Reliability in a car is not shitty
And keep your cell on the car charger .
Pretty sure that last guy witnessed a murder
Tim Morris agreed
Tim Morris 100 percent. Sounds like he witnessed one car take a man from another car, walk into the woods and shoot him
Tim Morris he saw something he shouldn't have, for sure.
His brother Kyle is an idiot for not reporting the last call while the police were searching for him.
@@bonjovirocks24 I bet he will regret that for the rest of his life. He is an idiot cause he tried keeping out of trouble with the cops, but he should have realized(even not knowing that Brandon had already called the cops) that if someone isn't with their car in the middle of nowhere then something is up.
You said you don't like to release the 911 calls because they're disrespectful to the families, which is kind of you; but I assure you, the families of the missing don't mind. They will generally do what ever they can to get the word out, and will often beg police and media to release these calls. So you're doing a good thing.
These types of stories genuinely creep me out waaay more than anything paranormal can. Especially that last one. Jesus christ...
UntitledKirk except on draft day
There thaaaaat creepy 😠
Yupp! I'm with you.
It’s very spooky how the call goes like this
“Is there anyone hurt?”
*Brandon has gone*
“Hello?”
“Hello?”
“Hello?”
😳😨
After seeing that picture I am fairly certain that the white guy with the tribe was Michael.
I'd like to have some faith in humanity that even a primitive, possibly cannibalistic, tribe wouldn't cold bloodily kill a man they knew and butcher him in this fashion. A stranger maybe, but not someone you have broken bread with. But people are cruel and defy logic and if it wasn't for that picture of the naked white guy I would definitely say he either drown or was killed. That picture tho...
Lacey Roberson It makes you really wonder, and unfortunately we probably will never know. I don't know how the guy who took the footage wouldn't notice him though.
Lacey Roberson I've studied cannibalistic tribes with my professor who is an expert on the subject and has traveled and still is involved with many of the tribes in Brazil accused of cannibalism. I won't go into all the research but the gist of it is that these tribes don't and wouldn't eat random people. Kill you, yes, but likely not eat you. There are a few examples of cannibalism tribes that actually cannibalize people practice: consumption of dead family members as a way to respect their bodies (this is done very reluctantly and met with lots of vomiting but their religion makes it necessary), medical consumption of bone powder and other uses mainly practiced by Europeans until mid 19th century. Cannibalism of enemies as a way to completely demoralize their enemies in war, I believe the Kayapo in Brazil did this and would stake body parts to terrorize their enemy tribes this is also done reluctantly and is only done for the enemies most powerful warriors (the ones with the most kills) and is also considered an honor by the ones eaten. They would not eat a European as almost all of these tribes considered outsiders to be unworthy. And then survival cannibalism which needs no explanation. These are the only well documented versions of cannibalism done by groups of people and as you can see all are done reluctantly and usually saved for special honors. The tribes people made fun of my professor for his European features as most cultures do but they also told him he wouldn't be cannibalized because his flesh is not from their land from their religion and is such tainted and would be poison to their religious consumption. However they WOULD kill you if you fuck with them lol anyway the point was the cannibalism story is very very very unlikely based on statistics. All the other stories of gross cannibalism in Brazil are controversial at best and most proven false and the rest are suspect to stereotypical racism.
what makes me curious is why the hell a Rockefeller would wanna live with a tribe it makes no sense
drizzlenumba1 Thank u for your insight and knowledge
Brandon Swanson & Brandon Lawnson...the similarities even in their names is creepy!
+ELBee London Yes! I came here to mention that. Better hope your name's not Brandon when you're stranded alone at night.
+Ginger Fitzgerald I know right. it caused me huge confusion. could there be a connection? the names are too similar.
Harry Flashman ah fuck
Harry Flashman I know what I'm naming my second son!!!!
Yeah, and the ways they both disappeared are also eerely similar... brrr....
Here's a more accurate transcript for Brandon Lawson's 911 call:
Operator: “911 emergency.”
Brandon: “Yes, I'm in the middle of a field, I think we just pushed some guys over. (We’re out here) going towards Abilene on both sides. My truck ran out of gas, there’s one car here, a guy’s chasing me into the woods. Please hurry!”
Operator: “Ok, now run that by me one more…”
Brandon: “And we’re not talking to ‘em. I accidentally ran into ‘em.”
Operator: “Ah, you ran into ‘em, ok!”
Brandon: “Yes, the first guy.
[The operator and Brandon speak at the same time, saying]:
Brandon: (“I’ve got cuts!)
Operator: “Do you need an ambulance?
Brandon: “Yes, No! I need the cops!
OPERATOR: “Ok… Is anybody hurt? Hello… Hello… Hello.
Terrifying
This made it easier to poop
+tillskyfallsdown So by the sounds of it he ran into someone with his truck and the driver got out and killed him?
This actually sounds like what he was saying
+Rick Carr It has to be much more detailed than that
How one mistaken a human for being a crocodile like wth dude???
+Despicable Zed Possibly a combination of what he was wearing and that the other people simply wouldn't expect to see a lone human swimming out in those waters.
Despicable Zed yeah it makes no sense.
He's a Rockefeller, they're reptilians. You clearly need to watch more TH-cam.
B. S. bruh😂🤣😂
I know right 😀
I think Brandon Lawson suddenly stopped speaking because the voice that appears to say 'Yes' noticed he was around and he tried to keep quiet to avoid detection. That's the simplest explanation I think.
He also whispers "help me" at 11:22 if you turn up the volume high. Was pointed out in another comment, and gave me a chill when I heard it. This poor man was most likely murdered.
@@ΒΞΔΝ holy fuck after u pointed it out i turned my volume high with earphones and you can really hear him saying help me
ΒΞΔΝ I heard it too... It was a very low & quick Help Me voice before being taken away
@@ΒΞΔΝ yep. I hear it.
I have driven that area of west Texas many times and you do not want to be driving those roads late at night and especially not armed. There are drug dealers that move through that area from the border. And on a side note that is about to get 1000 times worse.
I have a question about Brandon Swanson- did they ever find his phone!? It was said that he cursed then hung up, but the dad called back and the phone rang but no one answered. So did they find the phone?
That's what I've been wondering too.
Maybe someone else noticed this, in the last case, Brandon is clearly out of breath from running. From what or whom is the question. He couldn't have "run into (them)" because the truck is not damaged, he means came across them. He has a history of drug use, maybe it was deal gone awry?
I think the one about Brandon Lawson was just a drug deal gone wrong. Either, like said in the video, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, or he was in it and someone didn't like the deal
Well didnt he say he had hit someone or something so then what happened to the other car ?? Maybe that person had something to do with it.
Or he was mistaken for someone else
that poll thing on the side was pretty cool u should do more of that
+Charlie Highlands Thanks for the feedback. Thought it would be a cool little touch!
+Top5s I agree with Charlie. Gets the viewers input aswell.
+Charlie Highlands I didn't catch it, at what minute and second was it?
+Alex Maksiutenko it's on the info of the video
+Charlie Highlands what poll? i missed it
Does anyone know what the escalating rumble is at the end of the 911 call? In between the 'Hello....' of the operator.
I personally think he ran out of gas, got out of his truck and walked around to get signal on his phone, then after he spoke to his brother about coming to get him, he may have walked a few meters in to the woods to go to the toilet and then saw something like a drug deal or some sort of execution happening.
His voice is full of panic, he's short of breath because he is extremely frightened of what he has/is seeing. He says that he's not talking to them, or expressing the fact that he doesn't want to approach them and he just ran in to them. He then tries to describe what he has seen so far.
I think it goes silent because someone involved in the drug deal/whatever over hears Brandon say 'cops', and Brandon doesn't want to move or say anything to reveal his position. I also don't think Brandon is alone at this point, I think there is another person with him. Sadly, I think they get wise to Brandon's presence and they chase him, ultimately killing him and disposing of the body.
I mean, you could be onto something there, as it was in Texas and there are known Mexican Cartel associates operating in the Southwest US. It also was on an infrequently used stretch of desert road as well..
Keep in mind that he called his brother after the 911 call, and there was nothing to indicate anyone was after him (at that point) - he was supposedly bleeding and in a field). Some friends and locals suspect that he was experiencing psychosis due to drug/alcohol usage and potential undiagnosed mental illness or mental fatigue - after an argument with his girlfriend. It could explain why he might have wandered off, in a paranoid state...only to succumb to and injury and/or the elements. Human remains, in similar cases, are sometimes located with a bit of luck via someone like a hunter, hiker, or land surveyor. But finding his bones soon in a wild area is not realistic (often people die within a cave or crevice for warmth), since that would be a tiny needle in the proverbial haystack. Nevertheless, I hope they find his remains within his family's lifetime.
Richard Meader agreed with your reasoning as to why he went quiet.
Richard Meader I think that sound is wind. It's very windy in that part of Texas. As for the rest I've no idea. I wish they'd find something for his poor family though.
He may have seen a bear taking a dump in the woods, it cost him his life.
It sounds like Brandon says "a trooper has guys pulled over these guys and has taken them into the woods..... "Sounds like a hit . Maybe he was in the wrong place , wrong time.witness stuff he shouldn't have.
Dude I heard trooper too! Searched comments for 10 minutes and finally found this comment. For sure said trooper.
Yes!!!
@@genethetimemachine5514 If he said trooper, why would he tell 911 he needed the Cops, if they're already there??! Corrupt Cops??
My dad should be on here

Good one mate
Shots fired
"Her phone had been internationally turned off." 7:04 I love this guy but I'm pretty sure he meant "intentionally."
Oh my! This has me laughing up a storm!!!!!!!!!
He meant internationally. Lol
Meaning that the phone used to get her phone cut off was in another country, which would refer to Cyprus
Are we just going to forget about the plane that went missing with 237 passengers?
+lilkamabeast MH370?
+Swegged Betmon Yep! I think that's the largest amount of people to go missing at once
Too recent
Oh yeahhhh! I want to hear about that too, I should probably search up some vids about it
A man in a hole halfway across the world can be found (Bin Laden) but a plane with 237 people on it get lost forever... I'll BRB lemme go get my tinfoil hat before I finish this
I'd like to say that even though "top 5"s or "top 10s" are fairly common, yours by far have the best content and your hard work and extensive research really do show in these video's. I think I subscribed near the beginning of your TH-cam journey and your progress is impressive. I hope you continue to make videos for many years to come 😊
I'm from Houston, TX and trust, me, it is easy to get lost in this state. Thank you for being so respectful to Brandon's family. I'm sure they much appreciated you getting his story out there.
On Brandon's call you can hear cars in the background. And from the way he's talking, he's out of breath. I think he saw something, tried to help and was punished for it.
moral of the story, if your name is Brandon... you're fucked
:(
Now stuff like this is what's really scary
Roly but you are terrifying
You're scary
there something about his voice that draws me to his videos everytime it's just so calm and soothing
"None of these theories would account for him swearing"
Well yes, some of them would.
+Steve Perrin especially aliens.
The case of Brandon Lawson is kinda creepy though.
That case is creepier and more twisted than we know. I had a friend that was from down there and he claimed cops were covering things up and they know in fact where the body is cause they put it there. Believe it or not but my friend got to vocal on Facebook and was murdered by a gunshot to the head one night and was quickly deemed a suicide. Look up Jed Nesbitt.
@@worldweeklynewz5818 holy shit. Why would the cops cover it up though? Brandon was asking for police even though he had an active warrant.
5:00 Umm... why? If he'd visited many other times, why was the first response to immediately kill him?
Perhaps he wasn't such a good visitor?
@@morgan145able
He was taking treasure and exploiting the tribe.
Because the story was invented to sell books.
Dude probably told his tribeman mates that if anyone comes looking for me just tell them you ate me. Anyone searching remote jungle that came across cannibals claiming to consume an outsider is pretty much going to leave it at that.
Ayanna Smith low iq
You know... I find some of the material you cover to sometimes be silly (most is actually great, though), and I don't agree with you on certain things. But you absolutely deserve to be commended on your never ending respect and graciousness towards others and the topic matter at hand.You touch on some hard topics and, instead of using the most heavy of them to benefit yourself, you manage to take the high road by voicing your concern and respect for people and events. I really like that and I appreciate it. You keep being you. It's awesome.
I think Michael did stay with the tribe and they are told by him to say they killed him...his family would never have been ok with it anyway around. just my opinion and I can in no way blame him for not wanting to be a Rockefeller anymore. lol
I really like your quality content, it's not just random facts, but you research and give us insight on your topics. Keep up the great work!
Respect to Lawson and his family, but I believe he was set up. Think about this; his car ran outta gas in a dirt road area, and then that was later followed by a gunshot when he mentioned he was confronted by another person. He mentions he was with someone saying "we" and "we're." Suddenly after mentioning he needs police, he goes silent, and doesn't speak for a brief moment. I say the person with him set him up, and when things went wrong bam, he was faced with what could've been his murderer for all we know. That explains why he would later run off into the woods indicating he was being chased by someone, and pronounced missing and/or dead.
set up for what? Drug deal?
That's a pretty elaborate set up to be able to coordinate when and where a vehicle will run out of gas. Have a lot a variables to contend with like a person's free will not to drive out in the boonies with a gas hand nearing E. Him running out of gas seems to be legit because that's something that would have been mentioned if not. And seems like a pain in the ass place to do a drug deal even if a lot of merchandise was being exchanged. The full, unedited 911 call needs to be released.
But his brother spoke to him *after* the 911 call, and there was nothing to indicate anyone was after him (at that point) - he was supposedly bleeding and in a field during that call. Locally, it's assumed by some people that he experienced psychosis due to his drug/alcohol usage and mental fatigue or illness, after a fight with his girlfriend. If ever located, his remains are expected to be found within the adjacent wilderness area to where it's believed he wandered and eventually succumbed to an injury and/or the elements. And, yes, his car was out of gas which logically points more to him being the cause of his own disappearance, as +Lacey Roberson explains.

If the government would fund actually good cameras maybe we wouldn't have these problems
+Robby Morin Well said, all you ever get are grainy images. If they can put the Hubble in space surly decent cameras are not beyond these people........
"Contact 911 if you recognise theese couple blurs and squares"
Im thinking there's a reason why most of the cameras dont show good clear pictures were like faces and car reg numbers stuff like that can be recognized ? Them shady few dont want us to have proof to certain things,
There are so many things the government should be funding better that might solve a lot of societal woes. That’s just not their priority apparently.
So you want to give up your freedom for a bit of security that doesn't exist. The camera will just capture your death. How about hell no we don't need the government installing cameras. Read the constitution dude. You are obviously not an American.
13:49.....sounds like he says "guys are chasing me through the woods" instead of "taken through the woods", also the Brandon Swanson call, i think he was hit by a car, the person panicked and possibly picked the body up, took it elsewhere for disposal....just a theory
I think Brandon witnessed a murder and then became a victim himself.
could have been drug deal or some mafia/government illegal stuff too. Also i dont rule some crazy murican who got offended by parked car in that place and maybe shot poor guy cause of that, we heard tons of stories similar to this
Nostalgic memories that’s definitely the dumbest explanation I’ve ever heard
Nostalgic memories no ones gonna kill a witness for a drug deal
You are a fantastic creator of content. You're professional, concise, and do your research. It's so nice to have somebody that reads the facts in a calm tone. You don't feel the need to unnecessarily curse and film yourself. Thanks for what you do!
TH-camrs who feel the need to film themselves, curse inappropriately, and who stretch certain facts only to make their content seem more wild, are just click bait creators. Top 5 is literally one of the very best content creators who specializes in showcasing paranormal footage and explain the strange and bizarre experiences that some people may encounter. I’ve come across several other TH-camrs who upload similar content but they’re a far cry in comparison to the consistent quality content that Top 5 manages to put out with every single video he makes. Top 5 really is a cut above the rest!
@@archangel5627 Well stated!
On the last one he clearly says "got guys chasing me through the woods", not "I got taken through the woods"
He also says "help me" at the 11:22 mark. Turn your volume up loud and you can't hear it faintly.
You said it was bullish yesterday now we set for a 50% drop
collecting evidences too for the video proofs that how hard you work out just to make a single video deliverd perfectly in front of your viewers! thats what awsome is.
Åïmãņ Îqbąľ you're pretty do you have IG
definitely subscribed, I find mysterious disappearances fascinating but it's so hard to find any videos that offer fresh new or lesser known cases, they are all always the same but I only knew about one of the cases you put up. awesome vid and very curious cases indeed!! I agree with others here that you should do more disappearances including the David Paulides national forest cases as I certainly want to know more about those. thanks for your hard work and great videos!
i can understand what the last guys is saying basically that he ran out of gas and that he probably waved a car down he tried talking to them something happen and he got chased into the woods and gos on to say i shot the first guy and says i need the cops .. but i think he stays quiet because he is hiding and he can hear them coming and doesn't want to give his position away .. but the crazy part in this audio is right before the dispatcher says hello for the last time if you listen very closely you can hear him whisper help me !! they were probably very close to him at that point that's why you can hear an other voice in the background when hes talking .. crazy man!! you can hear him say help me at 11:21 .. i might be the first one who has caught that !!
Your videos are phenomenal followed you since like 20K subscribers, mad to see how fast it grew, you deserve it and never fail to make boring videos. Keep it up pal:)
You just said he makes boring videos lol I know what you mean though
Oh yeah :') I will correct in case he sees it, thank you.
*never fail to make exciting videos
Same I subbed at around 20k and one day I looked at his subscriber count after a video and he had like 300k and I was like "Whhaaaaat?!?"

Anyone else notice Tom from Hollyoaks as one of the missing people at the beginning?
yes 😊😊
+Loretta Rose i was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else noticed XD
+Amy Prangnell clearly just us 😀
Lol I thought that too
I feel sorry for the families who lost loved ones. But sometimes people can go missing for years and return home which would surprise loads of people with questions.
jimmy is dead. it's been 40 years. he would've been 100+
Alejandra Ramirez oh he would have been dead by now with near certainty. However I believe that the guys he was to meet were his killers
they're all so sad but i feel bad for the girlfriend in #1. she has to forever live with the fact that the last time she saw him they were fighting. that 911 call was really strange. almost seems like he wasn't talking to the operator but at times it does. the 1st thing he says seems like he's talking to her but then he starts saying things that don't fit the context of what she's saying. she says run that by me again and he says i told you i just ran into them and no I'm not talking to them. then wtf when he doesn't hang up but everything goes completely silent. now I'm going to be googling and youtube on Brandon Lawson all night :-(
also at 11:22 you could barely hear someone say help me. it is very faint
Yea it's almost like he was running with someone and they were paranoid that he was possibly talking to whomever was after them.
It could be that he was walking down the rode and ran into someone being chased by another person(he says he ran into the "first guy"). Maybe guy number 1 says we gotta run and Brandon sees a car speeding their way, he instinctively starts to book it and calls 911.
While on the phone maybe guy 1 doesn't really trusts Brandon and thinks he's working with the Person/people chasing them at this point they've been chased into a field towards some woods. Brandon seems irate about having to repeatedly tell guy 1 that doesn't know their pursuers(maybe guy 1 doesn't speak English very well?). Brandon probably gets mixed up when asked about the ambulance because one of them does in fact need medical help(guy 1?) but decides that getting the police there is priority. Not sure why everything goes silent , but the very quiet "help me" could me guy 1 falling behind.
+karaso0 i saw an interpretation of what he might have been saying in the beginning that might make sense. someone said it sounds like...escaper just pushed a couple of guys over
+djk hmmmm guy 1 escaped? Interesting
+karaso0 I'm not sure exaCtly what it would mean. originally i was thinking maybe if the cops had someone pulled over i guess technically he would be an escaper and maybe because he was out of gas he saw the flasHing lights and walked over for help. i don't know but it is very creepy
Best list content creater by far. 💯
Must be one of the worst feeling knowing a family member is missing not knowing what has happens to them. Either that they are still alive or dead. Just breaks your heart.

+Rex Tenyson Liar liar kids on fire.
I must have listened to the Brandon Lawson 991 tape about twenty times and I still don't understand the part about "......pushed some guys over......." I live about an hour away from where this incident took place and don't ever recall hearing about it in the news. Thank you for taking the time to bring these cases back to light. Maybe one of your viewers can bring one of these families closure.
Rayford Carpathia it seems like there was more than one car involved going the same way down the road on both sides there must have been some kind of incident. He says he ran out of gas (and his car was later found abandoned dangerously on the road side)and then he says there's one car here.... the guy's chasin me through the woods. Seems like there was some kind of road rage fight and he was chased down and beat up and killed then the guy's took him to the point 4 miles away at least where his phone last pinged to dispose of his body.
But his brother spoke to him *after* the 911 call, and there was nothing to indicate anyone was after him (at that point) - he was supposedly bleeding and in a field during that call. Locally. it's assumed by some people that he experienced psychosis due to his drug/alcohol usage and mental fatigue or illness, shortly after a fight with his girlfriend. If ever located, his remains are expected to be found within the adjacent wilderness area(s) to where it's believed he wandered and eventually succumbed to an injury and/or the elements.
Preaching gods over
10:47 it’s sounds like he’s saying that one car was chasing him through the woods

Lola Hart hi.
Thanks!
"Green Chevy truck" *picture of red chevy sedan*
Bottom right of the picture, "Not Brandon's Car".
Brandon Lawson I believe says "I'm in the middle of a field and a sniper just perched some guys over"
The operator shouldn't have acted like she knew what he was saying like " Ahhh you ran into em* Idk, I hope this gets solved.
NO LIE. this video was released on the same day that my best friend Derryck W. Jones died in conroe, tx. Not a coincidence. RIP Derryck. I miss you buddy.
My great uncle used to fly planes with first aide and food and other supplies. I forgot who he worked for.
He and his plane disappeared over the Pacific Ocean and hasn’t ever been found. It’s a family mystery.
I have a theory that he purposely disappeared.
In the Brandon Lawson call I honestly believe he says "no, we're not talking to em" .. Key word being WE'RE , also I sounds as if another voice says "yea" after she asks if they need an ambulance... This is pretty creepy for sure.
TheZincZipper it is someone with him possibly someone he knows or happened upon indicating more than one person was in need? I'm not sure what led up to that but its sounding like he was ambushed but he was scared to ask the 911 operator for an ambulance? cause she when asked he said send the cops and then the person in the background replies "yeah" after the question implying someone needed medical assistance.....something was amiss and I beleive he was murdered
TheZincZipper omg i do hear the "Yeah"
Thanks for the awareness on Brandon Lawson. I'm friends of the family and I've seen them so full of hope this entire time. I sincerely hope they figure out what happened.
this is very interesting and really good 😻😻
Do a video fully about the last one please
+Top5s thank you for putting more of the less covered stories up. most videos show the same people who have disappeared. good work!
The weirdest disappearance I've heard of is the Dutch women that went missing in a Panama jungle. Their phone records and camera metadata showed that they'd been still alive more than a week after they went missing.
+Dylan Walker I read about that recently... Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers. The creepiest part is the pictures they took at night... like 90 photos.
+79Bobola Yeah and also way before they went missing, a guy from England also went missing there too. The family of the guy wanted to put a warning out for flying out there after they heard that two women went missing.
Those poor girls were likely using their camera flash for a light source. Utterly haunting.
Asmat tribe member to cook: "I dont like this meal. Too rich!".
5: Murdered by a criminal gang, doesn't really matter what happened to his body aside from the fact that it was gotten rid of.
4: Drowned. Some journalist hack decides to make money off of him because of his famous family by making up a cannibal story.
3: Murdered, maybe by a serial killer. Insistence by family that the missing person is alive is a common occurence, but its simply denial.
2: Now this one IS interesting. Very mysterious. Perhaps he suffered from a psychotic episode which could've confused him as to where he was, causing him to misdirect his parents and hanging up on them despite being in a bad situation?
omegastar19 I like your explanations. honestly.
omegastar19 psychotic breaks can and often do occur without much warning, and without the person having any kind of mental illness history, but I'm not sure if it's a full explanation... Deff seems like something else might have been going on that he shouldn't have seen...
I wish i had special powers that allowed me to find the exact location of a missing person. That'd be awesome.
The last part of the 911 call sounds like he says “there’s some guys chasing me through to woods”.
Fantastic Video x
I think the kid in #2 hit his head during the accident and had a concussion that's why he thought he was somewhere when he was somewhere else, after that who knows could have walked into the woods and got lost and passed out and died from his injuries or the elements
*Dispatch: Ahh, You ran into em?*
*BL: Just the first guy*
There's a clue there that is just waiting to be solved. But I just can't figure it out...
Someone else probably driving infront of him with another car beside it and got into a road rage incident. He pulls over and watches it play out til he realizes his truck is out of gas and runs. He tell us how someone was pushed off the road and walked into the woods. He witnessed a murder.
"I shot the first guy"...
I love how you are very reasonable and respectful with these topics great job keep it up
Hundreds more that go missing in national parks that no one talks about.
animals probably, with rare cases of suicides and serial killers. Most people who dissapeared in usa , those places mostly have caves according to statistics
Redeemed Stone went to Joshua Tree about a month and at the entrance saw a missing person picture. Creepy to know people just get lost and die

It's not mysterious blame the parents
+LostInADaydreamxxx How she didn't get a mention in this vid, I'll never know.
+Zoe Barratt True you can blame the parents because they could've left someone there to watch them until they come back.
+Robert Ochoa they didn't do that because they were literally the ones who killed her.
I live in Abilene, right off the highway going towards San Angelo(the highway is literally my front yard) and their are still billboards and talk of Brandon. It's extremely nerve racking knowing he could've been murdered or kidnapped right in front of our home, if not just a few miles away) while we slept wow

I don't really see how 911 calls are disrespectful...
There is nothing disrespectfull in broadcasting someones seemingly weakest and final moments?
Michael Rockafeller(idk how to spell it) looks like Matthew Murdock (Daredevil) from Netflix. XD

+Key | iamSmexx thought he looked a little like Pewdiepie :P
I was raised in San Angelo TX. You have no idea how sketched out this town is. Crazy how a grown man can disappear and nothing is to be found. Rather sad. It's full of nothing but dope heads an crooked cops.
In the Brandon Lawson clip, you can hear someone say "help me" after the operator says "Hello?" for the second from last time. She doesn't seem to hear it though. Sounds like someone has been hurt.
+APSparanormal Yeah I heard that too. It was very faint. This is a very strange case.
Yeah at 11:22 I hear a faint "help me"
soo creepy i have goosebumps now
+Emi the Gamer JR. After having another listen you can hear footsteps at 11:17 They don't get closer or further away, he's running with the phone. Seems like he's trying to get someone's attention.
+Tom Pen It is indeed, I hope his family finally gets the closure they deserve.
I thought amelia earhart was going to be the last one.
Just found your channel...Love it...Keep it up my guy
After listening to the Brandon Lawson clip over and over again with headphones, this is what I think he could possibly be saying.
And when I say criminal, I'm referring to the people the State Troopers pulled over. Whether or not they are truly criminals is to be known. I'll just call them criminals to make this easier to understand.
"Yes, I'm in the middle of the field, *state troopers* pulled some guys over.. Right here, goin'towards Abilene, on both sides (Meaning State trooper cars parked on both sides of the road?).. My truck ran out of gas... There's one car here (criminals car).
*He's (State Trooper) chasin' a guy (criminal) into the woods.*
Please hurry.
*There's one guy (Trooper) talking to em (criminal)*
*I totally ran into em*(walked upon the scene after he ran out of gas and started walking?)
*They (Trooper) shot the first guy*(criminal)
What I think could have happened was Brandon ran out of gas and started walking. He then came upon 2 State Trooper cars, one parked on each side of the road, and they had pulled over another (unknown) car with multiple occupants. The direction the cars are facing is towards the town Abilene.
He sees one State Trooper chasing one of the criminals into the woods. Maybe thr person they pulled over decided to run from the Troopers?.. Brandon sees the other State Trooper talking to the other criminal that was in the car they pulled over.
Brandon then says he had ran into em, as if he's stating he just came upon the situation after walking because he ran out of gas.
Then Brandon says the Trooper shot the 1st criminal. (shot the crininal who's getting chased into the woods or shot the criminal the other state trooper was talking to).
Now beyond that, you guys can come up with your own assumptions. Did the State Troopers mess up and shoot an innocent person they pulled over, Brandon witnessed it and the Troopers had to kill Brandon as well to cover it up? I dont know. I would hope that's not the case as I greatly respect our law enforcement and appreciate all they do. Again, this is just a possibility.
Maybe I'm way off here but let me know what ya guys think.
wow, very interesting and very plausible
Why would he panic and then call 9-1-1 for the cops, if the cops were already there? I don't think there would be that much panic in the man's voice if that were the case. In actuality, if our car ran out of gas in the middle of the desert on some backwoods road and we walked upon some police officers, we would be RELIEVED. He also stated he was in the "middle of a field".
I gotta go with he saw some vehicles parked on the sides of the roadway, and figured to try and find whoever they belonged to in order to ask them for a ride to the nearest gas station or to call for some type of roadside assistance. What he found, however, was how he disappeared..
Did you know innocent people call 911 for help from the cops and then end up getting killed by those same greatly respected cops that they called for help in the first place.
4:22 you sure he didn't turn into PewDiePie?

Omg XD 😅😅😂😂
After listening to Lawson's 911 call, I think it's fair to deduce a couple of facts. He'd already called his brother for assistance, and 911 is reserved for emergency calls. In the call he sounds like he's out of breath- a clear indication that he's either been running or he's completely unnerved. He also says "I ran into them" which the operator mistakes for actually hitting them with the car but it's much more likely he means he "ran" into someone in the unexpected way. It does seem like he came upon something unsavory; however, there isn't enough data. It might be pertinent to know if he was involved with drugs, in any way, and what exactly he and his wife were arguing about before he left. To clarify, it's highly likely the poor man ran out of gas, called his brother, noticed some activity in the dark, investigated, was found out and then probably taken another 4 miles away where his phone pinged and this is probably where/when he was murdered.
Concerning Swanson, though, I think he might have been involved in something that's not being made clear. The guy was from the area and seemed to know it well. If his vehicle was really not in the area that he said it was in, it seems much more likely that he was being dishonest about what was going on. He may have actually disappeared (on purpose) as opposed to any foul play.
The Claudia Lawrence case sounds really depressing, but we certainly don't have enough evidence to indicate whether or not there was foul play. I don't think the guy in the video was carrying any body parts, but the fact that he paused while the passerby walked in front of him was startling. Perhaps, like some of these others, she too had secrets that may have gotten the better of her.
The Rockefeller case totally intrigues me! This is similar to the "Into the Wild" guy who was ostensibly very wealthy, but shunned his way of life in favor of something different. I don't think a tribe that he had been around and, perhaps had to earn the respect of, attacked him and consumed him. It's likely that he asked them to become one of the tribe and they accepted him into their tribe. The picture of the white man among the warriors is a strong piece of evidence in favor of this idea.
Jimmy Hoffa is likely dead. This is a mystery which many of us are familiar with and I think that Hoffa either ended up on the wrong side of the mob, and we all have a keen idea of what that entails; or, he, possibly like Swanson, Lawrence or Rockefeller, simply disappeared with their help and started a life somewhere else. Although I'd be more likely to believe that the other three chose this over Hoffa who was a powerful, respected and enterprising man.
I think missing persons cases are the worst cases. People yearn to KNOW the TRUTH. When people disappear, we can never be sure if they fell down a ravine, crossed some figure we'd never even recognize or were simply abducted by the mothership. I've personally never dealt with this myself, but my heart goes out to the families of all the missing people. It has to be a horrible thing to go to sleep not knowing, wake up not knowing, always scanning crowds and doing double-takes on any people who look similar.
I don't comment on all the Top 5's videos, but I'm a big fan of them. I find them thought-provoking and informative about subjects that I'm admittedly very curious about. I've always been a big fan of the 'unknown' and I'm glad that you at Top 5's bring a little illumination into the dark fringes of our world.
Thank you ever so much...

Watching this video and hear the name Brandon Lawson being said as a disappearance (also my name) is a strange feeling lol.
