Since we weren't able to upload an episode last week, we went ahead and uploaded the episode for this week early on TH-cam! Happy Monday homies - enjoy the ep!
Him giving such important things away was a BIG red flag for me when I first heard of this case, even more so than the drugs and the breakup. That was something that my health teacher in high school HAMMERED into us that if a friend starts giving important/expensive possessions away, you NEED to alert someone because they are likely planning to harm themselves. It's a red flag that is often missed and she wanted to make sure we didn't.
I try to tell everyone this. I had heard this years ago, and then my friend who did end up killing himself did that too a few months before taking his life. He gave everything away. It still hurts because we all thought he was giving everything away because he was moving back home with his parents and would have to fly on a plane to get there. Trust your gut. And dont feel bad if you arent able to catch the signs.
Shoutout to Christian for being such a caring and considerate person, going out of his way to check on Bryce. Most people wouldn't have done that for a stranger
@@jeanarino732 that is very possible but I’m sure it would’ve been an open and shut case if the car repair guy had something to do with it. I think if I worked somewhere and concerned parents called me I would go take a second look and he did make sure he got on the highway as the police stated but who really knows
Right! I get that you didn’t know exactly where he was, but you can drive the routes you think he would have taken to find him and bring him home safely. I think it was obvious after the first time Christian called them (his parents) back that he was just sitting there that he wasn’t in the right state to go home himself.
I’m only 26min in, but already he reminds me of myself in college. My parents were helicopter parents and I wasn’t allowed to do ANYTHING in high school. So when I went to college I went crazy, all kinds of drugs and alcohol daily. It messed up my mental health so badly that I stopped answering my parents daily calls, stopped going to class, and got agoraphobia and didn’t leave my dorm room for months except to go to the convenience store for ramen to eat. There were so many times I had the thought to just leave everything behind and become homeless in the woods (the college was in the mountains). I fantasized about going off grid and not telling anyone where I went or what happened to me. It’s so scary looking back and thinking about what damage I could’ve done to so many people by doing that.
very similar situation happened to one of my high school best friends. she basically went off the deep end and cut her parents and old friends out of her life, and basically had the exact same experience as you. i don’t think helicopter parents realize how much damage they do...
Yeah your parents were protecting you. Once you make a decision as an adult that's on you. Parents who are protecting you from hurting yourself and doing bad things are not bad they care about you
I've never felt so close to a case. I've been the female version of him. All similar reasons. The car planning etc from mental health and escaping. I did escape in 2017 from my toxic father. I scouted areas planned everything even considered setting car on fire pushing the car over a cliff ironically called "worlds end" horse shoe pass. With extra blood scenery. The things you consider when you have to escape a situation to survive and refuse to die.because staying would kill you. I only came back after my dad died. Now me and mum are safe I'm happy healthy safe sober drug free as of 2017 and Engaged!!!!!!!! I'm living proof you can survive anything just get out safely death is NOT the answer.
So glad you made it through and you were able to reunite with your mom. Congrats on your engagement. May God bless you two, to be together for many, many years💜
I had a narcissistic stepmother who abused me and my dad, and made him abuse me...I almost tried to take my life, too, but I thought about it...I was 17. I had one year left - and couldn't I suffer for one more year, then be free? Could I hurt all these other people I cared about, and ruin my chance at a life of opportunity? You're right - you can survive, and you can escape. Death is NOT the answer.
It's odd that Karen insisted on Kim letting him drive his friend and girlfriend are saying he is not in a state to drive. Idk something odd about his family.
I had an ex who drank a lot and his mom did too and she would always excuse his drinking and other bad behavior caused by his drinking. And I live in the Naperville area and it's super ritzy, lots of wine drinking moms, so it wouldn't surprise me to be the case here.
His mom may have thought the girl took his keys because he broke up with her & she just didn't want him to be able to leave. So his parents talked to him & said he was ok to drive.
The fact that he was declared "voluntarily missing" answers the entire case for me - I have NEVER heard of a police force declaring that without them knowing for sure that its the truth.
This is fascinating to me. My partner was forced to go to college when he didn't want to (he had extremely controlling parents (dad and step mom)). He ended up drinking a ton and experimenting as an f u to them and ended up getting expelled. He had even crashed the car driving back home and didn't tell his parents, just drove home with major frame damage. He eventually moved out of state and blocked them completely from his life and to this day will not answer their calls and has changed his number many times to get them off his tracks. He says he wants no connection (possession wise or anything) connected to them so they can never hold anything over his head again and can finally live life how he wants to. He ultimately let his car get towed and lost custody of it to the diff state he moved to. His parents randomly got a letter saying the car was no longer owned by them. I can't help but see this in his case and my thoughts are with him. I think he is out there by choice and planned to clean up loose ends that connected him to his parents
That’s literally me story too. I have no family involvement in my life other than my partners. I gave them everything back car, health insurance etc and figured it out on my own. Ppl don’t realize how absurd and abnormal thier family is until they get away usually way too late
I think something happened between the parents and him, something serious. It’s very weird that none of the parents drove to meet him the first time he was found in that road. I’ll never leave my kid in that situation. I believe he stayed inside the car for so long because he was thinking about was he was about to do, a big change, not coming back, maybe he even had doubts at that point. But he did it, he left all behind. That’s what I believe happened
You guys do an excellent job at all times, I don’t think any of us get bothered that you didn’t post. We know it had to be for a good reason! Love y’all thanks for being consistent
I was just thinking, maybe he “gave away” the earrings and things but was actually trading them for drugs or using them as payment. Idk and possibly the other person doesn’t want to admit they were dealing drugs?
Exactly The earnings in my opinion were probably traded for drugs, the guy he traded them with isn't going to want to admit that . He's just Gunna say he gave them to him , isn't he
tbh it’s so strange to me that his parents didn’t drive to go get him. maybe it’s just me personally but if someone im close to is acting strange and i get a bad feeling i always go check on them for myself if i can. i would never just “hope for the best”
Yes! Would have driven straight up! You could easily leave a car at a rest station for a day or two. No reason they didn't get off their butts and go take care of their child. Makes no sense.
When Kendall was telling the story, I was sitting here thinking, "Get your butts in the car and go get him." The instincts were strong on that one. I'm dumbfounded as to why they didn't. And then to say in their statement to their son "we've never been angry with you." They say one thing but I feel there's so much more to the family's story. It's unfortunate we only really get their narrative.
I’ve heard this story so many times and I never realized his car crash was reported so quickly. An HOUR later they are already on the scene and he has vanished someone must of picked him up.
Makes me wonder how busy that area was during this time. Its states no one saw the crash but 1 hour is very quick for car to be spotted( without bryce around it) and cops to be called and get out to the scene. And werent his parents notified within the hour about that car. Just to think of all the details that took place before parents were notified. It takes time to get to the scene, search through it, figure out who the car belongs to and get that information out tobe able to pay the parents a visit.
He may have intended to end his life, sat all that time wondering how, why, where and eventually thought walking away still gave him some hope? Or decided to make sure they never find his remains? This is so sad that a life comes to this.
it makes no sense to kill your self in a place where they wouldnt find your remains though. the only reason i would think that he would hide his body is that he wanted to spite his parents in someway and make them worry idk.
@@amirrhodesve791 He may not have been trying to hide his body on purpose. He might have just been looking for a peaceful, beautiful spot where he felt comfortable to do it & just hasn't been found yet.
@@amirrhodesve791 a friend of mine did this he walked deep into the woods and was missing for weeks before he was eventually found, I think he wanted to spare his friends/family from finding him in that condition. This case reminded me a lot of him 😞
Was the random friend he gifted the earrings to somebody that provided him drugs? Maybe Bryce wasn't able to pay him back in cash so used the earrings. EDIT: same goes for the x-box in my opinion.
I totally was thinking the same thing. I so did not want to judge the parents being a mom too, but I would have been in my car so fast. My oldest son is in his second year of college and 2 hrs away. I cannot even tell you how fast I would have been in the car. Prob from the first time when the police located him. Even tho he had been cleared to drive, I would have said wait there. I would have gone to him. That’s just me. Again, I am not judging the parents at all. It is heartbreaking what was going on and how they must feel now.
Plus the fact that they slept thru both nights. Let's say they cannot drive for one reason or another, but how tf they were able to sleep when their son was out there tired, hungry, and acting strange. It's definitely very weird. Idk maybe he had done similar things before and they were used to it and that's why they were casually sending people to check up on him? Either way, I believe the parents are hiding a lot of information
Such strange behavior. Even with him saying he was fine over and over again, as a parent I can say that I’d of gone to get him before he got out in the middle on nowhere. But, it is hard to judge someone else’s actions I suppose.
@Anna's Mind 444 Hindsight is always 20/20 and none of us can know what they were thinking. Based on the full video it seems there is a lot to this story we don’t know. That’s why I said it’s hard to judge someone else’s actions. I can only say what I would have done (and even with that, none of us truly knows unless we are in the situation).
Same reaction to the missing Brianna Maitland case. Her parents were so eager to protect “her privacy” that they let their 16 year old quit high school and live with two different boyfriends! The parents did not want to rain on her parade…😢 Rise to the occasion parents!
Working in law enforcement, if he was located and said he didn't want contact with his family, the family would have been told he was ok, but they couldn't be told where he was or how to contact him. The voluntary missing tag being placed makes me think that happened, but why wouldn't there be announcements anywhere from anyone he's not missing anymore? The whole thing is wierd, but that's the strangest part to me honestly
Bryce taking two trips around the crash area would make sense if he was planning to stage the crash. Plus getting rid of the car would get rid of the repair guy that kept checking on him. I was in a less serious crash and hit my head and there was blood everywhere.
Don't be sorry guys, these things happen and can't be helped. You always deliver 5⭐ podcasts that really are next level. Thank you so much for the work you do to help victims and their families get awareness out there ❤
I've never ever heard the police describe a missing person as voluntarily missing Which tells me they have come across him and hes asked to remain unknown as far as his whereabouts. So I truly believe he left to start over without his parents thumbs on him.
I was literally on y’all’s channel trying to find something “new” to watch and here y’all are coming through. Love y’all’s content it’s badass much love to Kendall and josh 💕
Great coverage of this case. I’ve heard other people cover it, but this was exponentially better in coverage of family dynamics, theories, updates, police report etc. Well done!
I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that the dogs tracked his scent to the truck stop. Are there no cameras at the truck stop? Seems likely that he would've catched a ride with a trucker and gone wherever. I hope that, if he is alive, he is off somewhere living his own life, and is happy.
I thought the same thing. Surely the truck stop had some type of camera, or someone that said they saw him there. A kid with bright red hair and blue eyes would stick out.
I agree with Kendall, why didn't his parents go and get him? Christian is such a good person to keep an eye on Bryce, but as a parent I would of gone and collected him after Christian had rung the second time, BUT hindsight is a wonderful thing and his poor parents have probably gone over this again and again. This case is so sad.
She does, she looks so different than usual but she looks so beautiful. Im a guy so its difficult for me to put my finger on it lol I assume its her hair being down and her make up, which by the way, her make up looks great :)
I have to take this drive every month and I-5 has super limited signs especially along that strip. So I’m not super surprised that he couldn’t see any signs or land marks.
I grew up near the area Bryce went missing, and it’s not surprising there were no significant landmarks or road signs for him to identify where he was to his parents that night. What’s always been odd to me about this case is the timing between the crash, and when it was called in to 911 was so short. Less than an hour? And, yet even with massive search efforts started almost immediately, he wasn’t found. It always suggested to me that he didn’t just walk away on foot. He either had a ride previously set up, or managed to get a ride somehow, in order to leave the scene so quickly. Just makes you wonder about someone else being involved, and maybe originally he’d planned on telling his parents about whatever he had planned for his future. That was the “big news”. But, in the time spent driving/sitting over that two days he decided against that.
Thank you covering this one on here! I remember hearing about Bryce on your channel, Kendall, and his disappearance is so perplexing. Love your content as usual!
I completely agree with Kendall. Once the guy that initially gave him gas came back for the second time made me wonder as to why the parents wouldn’t just drive to him.. I am very familiar with this general area because I often drive from the Bay Area to Santa Clarita and I take this route every time. Interstate 5 is very empty around this area. Nothing but farming and desert, until the grapevine area when you actually get into the mountains. There’s really nothing out there so the fact he spent so many hours in that same area, I don’t understand how the parents just didn’t jump in the car to drive to him. That’s incredibly concerning. Although, I’m sure the parents deeply regret the decision not to drive to him now.
Unfortunately I believe Bryce took his own life. I'm aware of others who have done so and spent hours in their car debating this until they finally called someone and asked for help. I believe the car wreck was a failed attempt at this and Bryce may have ended up at the truck stop and hitchhiked to another area to complete what he set out to do. Bryce is a very unique looking person so I believe if he is still alive he would have been spotted by now. Prayers for his family. 🙏
Low key reminds me of Gene Sprague in the documentary “the bridge” I’ve never forgotten his name because that documentary sticks with you, especially his case imo But in the film he walks back and fourth for an hour or so, and then backflips off of it and no one noticed
Bryce's case literally keeps me up at night. I literally check almost daily for updates by googling his name. But ugh, anyway, I work in mental health care and have worked with individuals suffering from a number of mental illnesses, but some being drug-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. Bryce was at just the right age of his disappearance when these things usually start to manifest in late teens/young adults. Their hallucinations and distorted sense of reality is very real for them and although it doesn't make sense to us, it make sense in the moment to them. (erratic behavior to his friends & girlfriend, sitting for hours upon hours in his car, not wanting to go home and making excuses, escaping the crash, etc), There's a lot of unanswered questions here, but I think most of them are to do with the realities of mental health disorders - sometimes there is no "rational" explanation, if that makes sense. I think this poor young man suffered from a severe mental health disorder that was accelerated by the use of drugs (also possibly a head injury from the crash), which led him to make unsafe, questionable decisions. I do not think he is with us anymore, but I really hope the family gets answers 💕
I love watching videos on missing persons and people who seem to have just vanished into thin air. This case and Brandon Lawson always got to me and just really made me wonder how someone could simply disappear. I’m so stoked that y’all are covering this case! I know that y’all will leave no stone unturned. Can’t wait to watch!
Yess I sadly always wonder what happened to Brandon Lawson, Henry McCabe and Mitrice richardson Brandon's 911 call is so mysterious, and short, you can only just make out what he his saying And Henry McCabe's 911 call is on a whole different level 😳 I hope one day we find out what happened to them 🥺
Did we consider that he maybe didn't GIVE his Xbox and the earrings his mother gave to him and that he actually used them as a trade to pay off a debt? Or used them as payment for something?? Especially if he was using drugs, his impulse control and critical thinking skills wouldn't be present in a moment of mania.
One of my college friends took too much acid one night and acted in a very similar way to this. He had never taken it before, but unfortunately his roommates were dealers (they even said they'd never take acid) and he succumbed to peer pressure. He was lucky, because his parents cared and drove the 3 hours to collect him and bring him home. He went to psychotherapy but the effects are life long and with his best interest at heart, we can never contact him again out of fear that it'll trigger a decline in his mental health. I didn't even know this could happen, but rest assured I will NEVER touch the stuff, ever. I wonder if Bryce took something dodgy that messed with his head? They also say abusing alcohol and drugs before the age of 25 can impact brain development - if he was using hardcore stuff as a teen, he may be suffering these long term affects.
@ Kendall. There is NO reason one of those parents shouldn’t have driven to get him. I mourn for their loss but holy cow. He was clearly having a moment.
This is one of those cases for me that literally blows my mind and I never get tired of watching videos/hearing podcasts about it. It’s such an interesting case to me and just makes me think so much!
I’ve been on Vyvanse for over a year and it completely changed my life in a positive way. But that being said I can’t go over my 30 mg dosage by even 10 mg or else I feel “speedy”. So for people who don’t have adhd I could see how they could experience that 10 fold
I just found this channel from Kendall’s channel and let me say I am obsessed. I am watching them all. I went to the Reddit comment discussed in this episode and looked through the posters history. This person is not a casual acquaintance of Bryce. They seem to know and hate his mother. This person knows very intimate details about the parents and I would venture to say this could be someone very close to the family. The poster mentions in another comment that Bryce has a half sister who lived with them a short time prior to being kicked out at a young age. I think the poster is his half-sister and understands how abusive the parents were.
Yay a video upload on a Monday! Thanks for cranking this one out after a challenging week last week! Love y'all, have a great week. ❤ I'm packing up to move from Florida to Virginia this week and but it'll be much more tolerable with all of the MH content!
You can also have a temporary psychosis situation. I witnessed it with one of my sons who was at 17. It was gradual at first and then just sooooo severe, he was admitted under 5150 and had additional medical issues going on which led to a week long stay in ICU, the doctors best “guess” is that it was triggered by drugs, potentially laced with something more than he intended to take. After about a month with medical and psychiatric intervention he was back to his normal self. Normally just anxious and irritable, but not at all what we witnessed previously. Just sayin.
Loved today’s episode! I do miss the news stories you guys used to do in the beginning 😥 was always such interesting stories, hopefully you guys bring it back one day!
Wow my husband and I were just talking about him yesterday, I live in a small town near where he was pulled over for all those hours, I remember seeing his missing posters . Over the weekend we took a trip to San Diego and on our way back we drove by Laguna Niguel, where he was from so I thought about him, and also drove by Castiac Lake, prayers to all his family and everyone hurting from this situation❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the upload! I recently just got out of the hospital for my severe medical problems and as soon as I got over that my boyfriend of 4 years decided to up and leave me and move back to Kentucky now I’m stuck in upstate NY by myself with nobody. So I’ve been extremely depressed and watching y’all’s videos gets my mind off of everything I have going on. So really THANK YOU so much it means more than you ever know!
Oh my I’m sorry to hear all you have been through-keep pushing through girl you got this. The main thing is your health which you were able to get out the hospital for. Now keep working on your mental health-go for walks, meditate, work out if that’s your thing, stay close contact with family and friends. Four years is a long time to be with someone-his decision to up and leave which is so shitty! You deserve someone who truly loves you-he just wasn’t the one for you. I’m prolly old enough to be your momma which means I’ve had 3 serious relationships-one I got the best gift ever-my precious daughter who is 11 years old now! I promise you, you will look back and see how it was for the best. Better to find out now than years later. You are strong. You are worthy. You are beautiful. No breakup is easy however time will makes things easy. Patience. Please take care of yourself and I wish you the best. Love from my home to yours-Katie💕
I’m from Castaic and remember all his posters and his billboard ☹️ makes me so sad to know he drove past my neighborhood and was in my town, to now be missing.
I believe he was trying to find his independence while also experiencing a psychotic or manic episode brought on by the use of stimulants combined with other drugs. I don’t know how to explain his parents behavior.
My first born just went away for college and my biggest fear is something happening while she’s away, sometimes she’s ok on the phone and other times she’s depressed or stressed and doesn’t want to talk to me. College life can be difficult for some students 🥲
So all the mental health stuff are really good theories but one thing to consider. For someone to be considered "voluntarily " missing they can't be suffering from mental disorders or be having an episode. So it shows even more that the police found something to change his status to that.
Do you take them during the day as well? How do you feel after you take them? Have you had any negative side effects? I want to buy some to help with my daily pain and to sleep better...
This case is so bizarre. I remember watching videos about Bryce’s case. I really hope that one day Bryce is found so that his family and loved ones can have some answers and closure.
So I live in the Naperville area and what that person wrote on Reddit seems legit to me based on that area alone. It's very upperclass rich people, with parents who care deeply about their images. And the kids have lots of money and usually disconnected relationships with their parents, so there is definitely that type of drug scene in the highschool, but because they are all "glamorous" on the outside, it's hard to even tell that type of stuff is going on. So that's the theory I think seems the most credible honestly.
came here to say the exact thing about Laguna Nigel. I was born in LN and raised about 20 minutes away in another city in Orange County. The attitude is the same and drugs are a big problem with these affluent families. Image and status is everything but it is all under the surface.
In an act of rebellion and self care, I threw away a gift someone had given me in order to guilt me for my interactions with my main abuser, my mother. Ever since I was a small child, she had spun stories about me being the abuser and how much I had apparently hurt her, although behind closed doors she was harassing me physically, emotionally, and verbally. Her friend, the codependent she was, had given me the aforementioned heirloom with a note "be good to your mother" -- I threw both out. I had been attacked for years by my family and her friends, all for these horrific made up stories, when all along, I was the one who was being abused. Absolutely Brian would have given away those earrings if his mother was abusive. Absolutely he would have wanted to go no contact with his family if they drove him to with past abusive behaviors.
Thank you for covering this story. I actually went to Naperville Central High I graduated in 08 but I have friends who's younger siblings knew Brice, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a bad thing about him and its such a heartbreaking story and I pray that he is at least found one day so his family can have the closure they desperately need.
I just find it weird that parents who are super controlling would send their kid to live 400 miles away instead of keeping them close by to keep an eye on them
i love it when i get here early, easily favourite content on youtube! hope you're all doing super well! 🥰 i keep walking in and finding my mum watching kendall on the tv, she says kendall is her favourite youtuber! 🥺 it makes me so happy! 💞
I totally agree, if that was my son I would be on my way to him the first time they got reported back that he was still at the rest stop. So strange. The Vyvanse was definitely effecting him. I've seen people act very strange and out of character when they over do the stimulants or take them unprescribed.
As parents, my partner and I have always said we’d rather our kids were dead than just vanished without a trace, because we’d know where they are, as opposed to not knowing and imagining what is happening to them xx
Also, just a curious question, was this the topic of last weeks episode? Or did you guys choose a different topic. Idk why I’m just curious😂 love you guys.
Since we weren't able to upload an episode last week, we went ahead and uploaded the episode for this week early on TH-cam! Happy Monday homies - enjoy the ep!
Please do a show on spontaneous teleportation!! It would really fit MHP or even lights out
Hell yea .. When y'all gonna do that fan camping trip? Me and my fiance would be down.
Finally
Thankyou. This story truly is intriguing
I thought this was early. Thanks
Him giving such important things away was a BIG red flag for me when I first heard of this case, even more so than the drugs and the breakup. That was something that my health teacher in high school HAMMERED into us that if a friend starts giving important/expensive possessions away, you NEED to alert someone because they are likely planning to harm themselves. It's a red flag that is often missed and she wanted to make sure we didn't.
Wow it’s amazing that your health teacher actually taught you that!
@@sabinenana she was a real good lady. Real mom-type figure
THIS. I remember watching a whole thing in school about the behaviors to watch for
I try to tell everyone this. I had heard this years ago, and then my friend who did end up killing himself did that too a few months before taking his life. He gave everything away. It still hurts because we all thought he was giving everything away because he was moving back home with his parents and would have to fly on a plane to get there. Trust your gut. And dont feel bad if you arent able to catch the signs.
I was thinking 🤔 how did they know it was a "gift" or the person didn't just help themselves?!
Shoutout to Christian for being such a caring and considerate person, going out of his way to check on Bryce. Most people wouldn't have done that for a stranger
❤️❤️
Yeah he cared more than the kids parents seem to 😢
And, over and over again!
Seriously though!
@@tiasky3438 I'm . .
Kendall and Janelle look STUNNING in this episode.
For real! No cap! I'm not even playing I was just thinking the same exact think! Such beautiful girls!!!!!
don’t forgot poor Josh lmao 😂
Agree, thought the exact same thing. Both look gorgeous.
Edit: Yes, of course! Josh too haha
I was just gonna say they look absolutely captivating 🥰
We love u too Josh the coolest voice in podcasting to this day he makes murder sound so relaxing
Honestly, Props to that Christian guy for going back.. what a nice guy
Nice maybe.. it seems sketchy to me that the guy checks on him twice but hopefully police looked into it
@@jeanarino732 that is very possible but I’m sure it would’ve been an open and shut case if the car repair guy had something to do with it. I think if I worked somewhere and concerned parents called me I would go take a second look and he did make sure he got on the highway as the police stated but who really knows
@@jeanarino732 He talked to his parents after he left the spot where Christian spotted him, so that rules Christian out as a suspect.
Yes, he was a nice guy.
Frankly he did more for Bryce than his parents did in his final days. Assuming Bryce isn't still alive, of course.
I don’t understand how his parents didn’t GO TO HIM after the first time he pulled off the highway. Just drive. That’s your kid.
That was my thought too! I don’t get it.
I would of found old roller skates or started walking myself ☹
Right! I get that you didn’t know exactly where he was, but you can drive the routes you think he would have taken to find him and bring him home safely. I think it was obvious after the first time Christian called them (his parents) back that he was just sitting there that he wasn’t in the right state to go home himself.
Agree
You've got to start somewhere when you're looking for something 🤷♀️
I’m only 26min in, but already he reminds me of myself in college. My parents were helicopter parents and I wasn’t allowed to do ANYTHING in high school. So when I went to college I went crazy, all kinds of drugs and alcohol daily. It messed up my mental health so badly that I stopped answering my parents daily calls, stopped going to class, and got agoraphobia and didn’t leave my dorm room for months except to go to the convenience store for ramen to eat. There were so many times I had the thought to just leave everything behind and become homeless in the woods (the college was in the mountains). I fantasized about going off grid and not telling anyone where I went or what happened to me. It’s so scary looking back and thinking about what damage I could’ve done to so many people by doing that.
Glad you’re doing well now! I hope life treats you well and that you follow your heart! Take care!
Similar situation happened to me
very similar situation happened to one of my high school best friends. she basically went off the deep end and cut her parents and old friends out of her life, and basically had the exact same experience as you. i don’t think helicopter parents realize how much damage they do...
Stay strong💙
Yeah your parents were protecting you. Once you make a decision as an adult that's on you. Parents who are protecting you from hurting yourself and doing bad things are not bad they care about you
I've never felt so close to a case. I've been the female version of him. All similar reasons. The car planning etc from mental health and escaping. I did escape in 2017 from my toxic father. I scouted areas planned everything even considered setting car on fire pushing the car over a cliff ironically called "worlds end" horse shoe pass. With extra blood scenery.
The things you consider when you have to escape a situation to survive and refuse to die.because staying would kill you.
I only came back after my dad died. Now me and mum are safe I'm happy healthy safe sober drug free as of 2017 and Engaged!!!!!!!!
I'm living proof you can survive anything just get out safely death is NOT the answer.
So glad you made it through and you were able to reunite with your mom. Congrats on your engagement. May God bless you two, to be together for many, many years💜
I had a narcissistic stepmother who abused me and my dad, and made him abuse me...I almost tried to take my life, too, but I thought about it...I was 17. I had one year left - and couldn't I suffer for one more year, then be free? Could I hurt all these other people I cared about, and ruin my chance at a life of opportunity? You're right - you can survive, and you can escape. Death is NOT the answer.
It's odd that Karen insisted on Kim letting him drive his friend and girlfriend are saying he is not in a state to drive. Idk something odd about his family.
I had an ex who drank a lot and his mom did too and she would always excuse his drinking and other bad behavior caused by his drinking. And I live in the Naperville area and it's super ritzy, lots of wine drinking moms, so it wouldn't surprise me to be the case here.
Most parents trust their kids word far more than others, unfortunately in this case it didn't pan out too well.
His mom may have thought the girl took his keys because he broke up with her & she just didn't want him to be able to leave.
So his parents talked to him & said he was ok to drive.
@@kyleewells1174 I also live in the Naperville area, and yeah...richy rich area.
The fact that he was declared "voluntarily missing" answers the entire case for me - I have NEVER heard of a police force declaring that without them knowing for sure that its the truth.
But how come nobody has seen him since?
@@sharonm.t.2492 I believe there has been sightings that haven’t been announced
Why was he acting weird sitting there for hours?
@@briizcustoms9543 Possibly to very much establish where he was to make sure the vehicle and his possessions were found.
@@janicespangler5551 Dont have to sit for hours to accomplish that though
This is fascinating to me. My partner was forced to go to college when he didn't want to (he had extremely controlling parents (dad and step mom)). He ended up drinking a ton and experimenting as an f u to them and ended up getting expelled. He had even crashed the car driving back home and didn't tell his parents, just drove home with major frame damage. He eventually moved out of state and blocked them completely from his life and to this day will not answer their calls and has changed his number many times to get them off his tracks. He says he wants no connection (possession wise or anything) connected to them so they can never hold anything over his head again and can finally live life how he wants to. He ultimately let his car get towed and lost custody of it to the diff state he moved to. His parents randomly got a letter saying the car was no longer owned by them. I can't help but see this in his case and my thoughts are with him. I think he is out there by choice and planned to clean up loose ends that connected him to his parents
That’s literally me story too. I have no family involvement in my life other than my partners. I gave them everything back car, health insurance etc and figured it out on my own. Ppl don’t realize how absurd and abnormal thier family is until they get away usually way too late
This is how it reads to me as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a history of narcissistic abuse in this family.
@Hay_Bay I hope your doing good now 🙏
"We've been putting out fires."
/flashes back to The Sesh when Kendall and Janelle accidentally set the table on fire/
LMAOOO
SAME
Someone told Josh lol
What video was this??
Yo, what episode was this? J
I think something happened between the parents and him, something serious. It’s very weird that none of the parents drove to meet him the first time he was found in that road. I’ll never leave my kid in that situation. I believe he stayed inside the car for so long because he was thinking about was he was about to do, a big change, not coming back, maybe he even had doubts at that point. But he did it, he left all behind. That’s what I believe happened
You guys do an excellent job at all times, I don’t think any of us get bothered that you didn’t post. We know it had to be for a good reason! Love y’all thanks for being consistent
I was just thinking, maybe he “gave away” the earrings and things but was actually trading them for drugs or using them as payment. Idk and possibly the other person doesn’t want to admit they were dealing drugs?
Solid thought! If so dealers definitely wouldn't want heat on them so it would be best to give it up.
Totally possible.
Exactly The earnings in my opinion were probably traded for drugs, the guy he traded them with isn't going to want to admit that . He's just Gunna say he gave them to him , isn't he
tbh it’s so strange to me that his parents didn’t drive to go get him. maybe it’s just me personally but if someone im close to is acting strange and i get a bad feeling i always go check on them for myself if i can. i would never just “hope for the best”
Same! It's frustrating that they repeatedly knew exactly where he was and they didn't personally just go get him.
I pray for the family.
Absolutely. I’d driven there as fast as I could!
that’s what always frustrated me about this case. i wish they would have just gone to get him. they had so many opportunities, and took none of them.
Yes! Would have driven straight up! You could easily leave a car at a rest station for a day or two. No reason they didn't get off their butts and go take care of their child. Makes no sense.
When Kendall was telling the story, I was sitting here thinking, "Get your butts in the car and go get him." The instincts were strong on that one. I'm dumbfounded as to why they didn't. And then to say in their statement to their son "we've never been angry with you." They say one thing but I feel there's so much more to the family's story. It's unfortunate we only really get their narrative.
I’ve heard this story so many times and I never realized his car crash was reported so quickly. An HOUR later they are already on the scene and he has vanished someone must of picked him up.
Yes!! Or he wasn’t in the car at all. you don’t just vanish by accident
Exactly
True, could be while he was waiting at the same spot right?
Makes me wonder how busy that area was during this time. Its states no one saw the crash but 1 hour is very quick for car to be spotted( without bryce around it) and cops to be called and get out to the scene. And werent his parents notified within the hour about that car.
Just to think of all the details that took place before parents were notified. It takes time to get to the scene, search through it, figure out who the car belongs to and get that information out tobe able to pay the parents a visit.
I thought it was reported that he kicked out back window from inside vehicle and got out that way.
He may have intended to end his life, sat all that time wondering how, why, where and eventually thought walking away still gave him some hope? Or decided to make sure they never find his remains? This is so sad that a life comes to this.
it makes no sense to kill your self in a place where they wouldnt find your remains though. the only reason i would think that he would hide his body is that he wanted to spite his parents in someway and make them worry idk.
@@amirrhodesve791 He may not have been trying to hide his body on purpose.
He might have just been looking for a peaceful, beautiful spot where he felt comfortable to do it & just hasn't been found yet.
@@amirrhodesve791 a friend of mine did this he walked deep into the woods and was missing for weeks before he was eventually found, I think he wanted to spare his friends/family from finding him in that condition. This case reminded me a lot of him 😞
Was the random friend he gifted the earrings to somebody that provided him drugs? Maybe Bryce wasn't able to pay him back in cash so used the earrings. EDIT: same goes for the x-box in my opinion.
Yes I just commented this and was thinking the same thing… people will sell anything to get drugs when they have addiction problems
Great point.
I had the same question as soon as I heard them say he just gave them away.
Was thinking the same thing
Thats what I'm thinking too. The Xbox and earrings would def buy a decent amount of drugs.
I totally was thinking the same thing. I so did not want to judge the parents being a mom too, but I would have been in my car so fast. My oldest son is in his second year of college and 2 hrs away. I cannot even tell you how fast I would have been in the car. Prob from the first time when the police located him. Even tho he had been cleared to drive, I would have said wait there. I would have gone to him. That’s just me. Again, I am not judging the parents at all. It is heartbreaking what was going on and how they must feel now.
Plus the fact that they slept thru both nights. Let's say they cannot drive for one reason or another, but how tf they were able to sleep when their son was out there tired, hungry, and acting strange. It's definitely very weird. Idk maybe he had done similar things before and they were used to it and that's why they were casually sending people to check up on him? Either way, I believe the parents are hiding a lot of information
It’s really crazy and sad to me that not ALL missing people get the same treatment as far as searching and taking things seriously.
No joy for Hookers. Yeah your right
Kendall always looks beautiful - but there's really something special about her in this video! 😍
The glasses! They are beautiful!
I thought the same thing ! She looks especially gorgeous
The glasses 😍
Such strange behavior. Even with him saying he was fine over and over again, as a parent I can say that I’d of gone to get him before he got out in the middle on nowhere. But, it is hard to judge someone else’s actions I suppose.
Same but I am sure this is their biggest regret that they have to live with. I wish them some peace. 🌟🌌
@@marusarozman4316 Exactly why I said it is hard to judge.
@Anna's Mind 444 Hindsight is always 20/20 and none of us can know what they were thinking. Based on the full video it seems there is a lot to this story we don’t know. That’s why I said it’s hard to judge someone else’s actions. I can only say what I would have done (and even with that, none of us truly knows unless we are in the situation).
Same reaction to the missing Brianna Maitland case. Her parents were so eager to protect “her privacy” that they let their 16 year old quit high school and live with two different boyfriends! The parents did not want to rain on her parade…😢
Rise to the occasion parents!
Working in law enforcement, if he was located and said he didn't want contact with his family, the family would have been told he was ok, but they couldn't be told where he was or how to contact him. The voluntary missing tag being placed makes me think that happened, but why wouldn't there be announcements anywhere from anyone he's not missing anymore? The whole thing is wierd, but that's the strangest part to me honestly
Maybe the family has money and he fears them and would rather keep the missing title?
I wonder if people can choose
The only reason I can think of is that his parents don’t want to accept that he chose to stay away so they keep the missing signs up
Bryce taking two trips around the crash area would make sense if he was planning to stage the crash. Plus getting rid of the car would get rid of the repair guy that kept checking on him. I was in a less serious crash and hit my head and there was blood everywhere.
Don't be sorry guys, these things happen and can't be helped. You always deliver 5⭐ podcasts that really are next level.
Thank you so much for the work you do to help victims and their families get awareness out there ❤
Agree!
I've never ever heard the police describe a missing person as voluntarily missing
Which tells me they have come across him and hes asked to remain unknown as far as his whereabouts. So I truly believe he left to start over without his parents thumbs on him.
That makes so much sense. Good grief what crazy extremes he (allegedly) went to in order to get away...
I was literally on y’all’s channel trying to find something “new” to watch and here y’all are coming through. Love y’all’s content it’s badass much love to Kendall and josh 💕
I agree, they are badass!! 🥰🌺
Me too haha
Lol same! So happy
I agree
Great coverage of this case. I’ve heard other people cover it, but this was exponentially better in coverage of family dynamics, theories, updates, police report etc. Well done!
I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that the dogs tracked his scent to the truck stop. Are there no cameras at the truck stop? Seems likely that he would've catched a ride with a trucker and gone wherever. I hope that, if he is alive, he is off somewhere living his own life, and is happy.
Hardly true, or to escape and create a new identity.
I thought the same thing. Surely the truck stop had some type of camera, or someone that said they saw him there. A kid with bright red hair and blue eyes would stick out.
I was thinking thay myself
Nothing better than starting my week off listening to you guys🥰
I agree with Kendall, why didn't his parents go and get him? Christian is such a good person to keep an eye on Bryce, but as a parent I would of gone and collected him after Christian had rung the second time, BUT hindsight is a wonderful thing and his poor parents have probably gone over this again and again. This case is so sad.
Oh man. I am a trucker and drive thru that area all the time. So haunting. Great video you guys
Janelle looks absolutely gorgeous this episode!! Love listening to MHP!!
She does, she looks so different than usual but she looks so beautiful. Im a guy so its difficult for me to put my finger on it lol I assume its her hair being down and her make up, which by the way, her make up looks great :)
@@mikew1374 I agree!! She’s always been gorgeous but today she’s 🔥🔥
I have to take this drive every month and I-5 has super limited signs especially along that strip. So I’m not super surprised that he couldn’t see any signs or land marks.
Janelle looks so beautiful! Green is definitely her color
Yes, she looks beautiful.
Agreed! The Smokey eye is so beautiful on her 🥰
@@chickbenney177 p oo b nd g
I grew up near the area Bryce went missing, and it’s not surprising there were no significant landmarks or road signs for him to identify where he was to his parents that night.
What’s always been odd to me about this case is the timing between the crash, and when it was called in to 911 was so short. Less than an hour? And, yet even with massive search efforts started almost immediately, he wasn’t found. It always suggested to me that he didn’t just walk away on foot. He either had a ride previously set up, or managed to get a ride somehow, in order to leave the scene so quickly.
Just makes you wonder about someone else being involved, and maybe originally he’d planned on telling his parents about whatever he had planned for his future. That was the “big news”. But, in the time spent driving/sitting over that two days he decided against that.
Thank you covering this one on here! I remember hearing about Bryce on your channel, Kendall, and his disappearance is so perplexing. Love your content as usual!
I completely agree with Kendall. Once the guy that initially gave him gas came back for the second time made me wonder as to why the parents wouldn’t just drive to him.. I am very familiar with this general area because I often drive from the Bay Area to Santa Clarita and I take this route every time. Interstate 5 is very empty around this area. Nothing but farming and desert, until the grapevine area when you actually get into the mountains. There’s really nothing out there so the fact he spent so many hours in that same area, I don’t understand how the parents just didn’t jump in the car to drive to him. That’s incredibly concerning. Although, I’m sure the parents deeply regret the decision not to drive to him now.
I certainly would have drove out there yo my child
Unfortunately I believe Bryce took his own life. I'm aware of others who have done so and spent hours in their car debating this until they finally called someone and asked for help. I believe the car wreck was a failed attempt at this and Bryce may have ended up at the truck stop and hitchhiked to another area to complete what he set out to do. Bryce is a very unique looking person so I believe if he is still alive he would have been spotted by now. Prayers for his family. 🙏
Agree
Low key reminds me of Gene Sprague in the documentary “the bridge”
I’ve never forgotten his name because that documentary sticks with you, especially his case imo
But in the film he walks back and fourth for an hour or so, and then backflips off of it and no one noticed
He could've changed his hair color, maybe grew a beard and dyed that too. I dunno.
Kendall your hair is SO CUTE lately!!! Ive been noticing a sublte difference but I wanted to tell you it looks beautiful on you.
Bryce's case literally keeps me up at night. I literally check almost daily for updates by googling his name. But ugh, anyway, I work in mental health care and have worked with individuals suffering from a number of mental illnesses, but some being drug-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. Bryce was at just the right age of his disappearance when these things usually start to manifest in late teens/young adults. Their hallucinations and distorted sense of reality is very real for them and although it doesn't make sense to us, it make sense in the moment to them. (erratic behavior to his friends & girlfriend, sitting for hours upon hours in his car, not wanting to go home and making excuses, escaping the crash, etc), There's a lot of unanswered questions here, but I think most of them are to do with the realities of mental health disorders - sometimes there is no "rational" explanation, if that makes sense. I think this poor young man suffered from a severe mental health disorder that was accelerated by the use of drugs (also possibly a head injury from the crash), which led him to make unsafe, questionable decisions. I do not think he is with us anymore, but I really hope the family gets answers 💕
I love watching videos on missing persons and people who seem to have just vanished into thin air. This case and Brandon Lawson always got to me and just really made me wonder how someone could simply disappear. I’m so stoked that y’all are covering this case! I know that y’all will leave no stone unturned. Can’t wait to watch!
Yess I sadly always wonder what happened to Brandon Lawson, Henry McCabe and Mitrice richardson
Brandon's 911 call is so mysterious, and short, you can only just make out what he his saying
And Henry McCabe's 911 call is on a whole different level 😳 I hope one day we find out what happened to them 🥺
Brandon was high. His brother said as much when he gave an interview after Brandon’s remains were found.
Apologies not needed! Just glad to see yall back. Its the haunted studio, lets just sum it up to that😉
Literally just finished The Sesh and thought uhh what am I going to listen to now, great timing 😄
No one calls it that lame
Same!! 😂 Definitely needed the MH Homies today!! 💚
@@benblyth3219 what?
Honestly, I think the Reddit post was from him as a way to explain some of his actions or at least show insight to what was going on.
Makes sense.
WOW
Definitely
Seems possible 🤔
This case is so fascinating. I think it’s captivated me because there’s still hope for Bryce. I do really hope he is eventually found safe.
Did we consider that he maybe didn't GIVE his Xbox and the earrings his mother gave to him and that he actually used them as a trade to pay off a debt? Or used them as payment for something?? Especially if he was using drugs, his impulse control and critical thinking skills wouldn't be present in a moment of mania.
That’s a bit far fetched
@@Cewdipie It's not at all though. Its not uncommon for people who sell drugs to take items instead of money as payment.
The parents piss me off in this story. Go get your child especially if his friends are saying they’re concerned!!
Right, and as a college student, it must’ve taken a lot for them to come to the parents to tell them that
One of my college friends took too much acid one night and acted in a very similar way to this. He had never taken it before, but unfortunately his roommates were dealers (they even said they'd never take acid) and he succumbed to peer pressure.
He was lucky, because his parents cared and drove the 3 hours to collect him and bring him home. He went to psychotherapy but the effects are life long and with his best interest at heart, we can never contact him again out of fear that it'll trigger a decline in his mental health. I didn't even know this could happen, but rest assured I will NEVER touch the stuff, ever.
I wonder if Bryce took something dodgy that messed with his head? They also say abusing alcohol and drugs before the age of 25 can impact brain development - if he was using hardcore stuff as a teen, he may be suffering these long term affects.
I literally was thinking about Bryce this morning…
@ Kendall. There is NO reason one of those parents shouldn’t have driven to get him.
I mourn for their loss but holy cow. He was clearly having a moment.
I've been to Buttenwillow many times. The town is so small. Much love to Mile Higher family 💙
This is one of those cases for me that literally blows my mind and I never get tired of watching videos/hearing podcasts about it. It’s such an interesting case to me and just makes me think so much!
Yes perfect timing I was just looking for something to listen to while doing my household chores!!! Thank you 🙂
I’ve been on Vyvanse for over a year and it completely changed my life in a positive way. But that being said I can’t go over my 30 mg dosage by even 10 mg or else I feel “speedy”. So for people who don’t have adhd I could see how they could experience that 10 fold
Same here! I have been prescribed it for about a year and have completely turned my life around. Good luck ❤️
@@Kayla..... thank you!! Same to you ❤️
Kendall,sis you look so good in the tye-dye and frames! 🥺🥺
I just found this channel from Kendall’s channel and let me say I am obsessed. I am watching them all. I went to the Reddit comment discussed in this episode and looked through the posters history. This person is not a casual acquaintance of Bryce. They seem to know and hate his mother. This person knows very intimate details about the parents and I would venture to say this could be someone very close to the family. The poster mentions in another comment that Bryce has a half sister who lived with them a short time prior to being kicked out at a young age. I think the poster is his half-sister and understands how abusive the parents were.
Could be a combo of mercury retrograde plus your haunted studio? Glad you guys are back!💖
Yay a video upload on a Monday! Thanks for cranking this one out after a challenging week last week! Love y'all, have a great week. ❤ I'm packing up to move from Florida to Virginia this week and but it'll be much more tolerable with all of the MH content!
Hi Meg, I moved from Florida to Virginia five years ago! Enjoy your new journey 😊
good luck! :)
You can also have a temporary psychosis situation. I witnessed it with one of my sons who was at 17. It was gradual at first and then just sooooo severe, he was admitted under 5150 and had additional medical issues going on which led to a week long stay in ICU, the doctors best “guess” is that it was triggered by drugs, potentially laced with something more than he intended to take. After about a month with medical and psychiatric intervention he was back to his normal self. Normally just anxious and irritable, but not at all what we witnessed previously. Just sayin.
There's also something called unorganic psychosis, not caused by any chemicals. It's rare but it can happen.
Loved today’s episode! I do miss the news stories you guys used to do in the beginning 😥 was always such interesting stories, hopefully you guys bring it back one day!
Wow my husband and I were just talking about him yesterday, I live in a small town near where he was pulled over for all those hours, I remember seeing his missing posters . Over the weekend we took a trip to San Diego and on our way back we drove by Laguna Niguel, where he was from so I thought about him, and also drove by Castiac Lake, prayers to all his family and everyone hurting from this situation❤️❤️
You are soooooo sweet together and are really making a HUGE difference in all the cases you cover. Keep up the amazing work you do❤️
Thank you so much for the upload! I recently just got out of the hospital for my severe medical problems and as soon as I got over that my boyfriend of 4 years decided to up and leave me and move back to Kentucky now I’m stuck in upstate NY by myself with nobody. So I’ve been extremely depressed and watching y’all’s videos gets my mind off of everything I have going on. So really THANK YOU so much it means more than you ever know!
Oh my I’m sorry to hear all you have been through-keep pushing through girl you got this. The main thing is your health which you were able to get out the hospital for. Now keep working on your mental health-go for walks, meditate, work out if that’s your thing, stay close contact with family and friends. Four years is a long time to be with someone-his decision to up and leave which is so shitty! You deserve someone who truly loves you-he just wasn’t the one for you. I’m prolly old enough to be your momma which means I’ve had 3 serious relationships-one I got the best gift ever-my precious daughter who is 11 years old now! I promise you, you will look back and see how it was for the best. Better to find out now than years later. You are strong. You are worthy. You are beautiful. No breakup is easy however time will makes things easy. Patience. Please take care of yourself and I wish you the best. Love from my home to yours-Katie💕
Much love to you💖

Awh Kendall you look so cute with your glasses! Love you guys! Glad you were able to get an upload up this week without any issues, missed you! 🖤💚
At some point I would’ve stopped with the phone calls and telling him to get on the road and I would’ve just driven myself to Bryce‘s location
I believe he was trying to find his independence while also experiencing a psychotic or manic episode brought on by the use of stimulants combined with other drugs. I don’t know how to explain his parents behavior.
This. The whole case screams mania. I dont know why Kendall included the schizophrenic possibility
Completely agree. Right demographics for manifestation of schizophrenia (paranoid or not). Also, Springfield isn't a suburb of Chicago ❤️
@@ScyllaCinema if you take adderall (Meth) for long periods of time when you dont need it, you can fully go schizo

My first born just went away for college and my biggest fear is something happening while she’s away, sometimes she’s ok on the phone and other times she’s depressed or stressed and doesn’t want to talk to me. College life can be difficult for some students 🥲
So all the mental health stuff are really good theories but one thing to consider. For someone to be considered "voluntarily " missing they can't be suffering from mental disorders or be having an episode. So it shows even more that the police found something to change his status to that.
Truuuue unless he didn’t have a proper diagnosis on record.
@@tayloralexandra9507 true
No worries! You are always worth the wait! Keep on keeping on! 💞
He broke up with the girlfriend to get her to be angry with him so she would move on with her life IMO.
I have the shirt Kendall is wearing. Its so comfy and I love the tye dye. No need to apologize, y'all are awesome!

Do you take them during the day as well? How do you feel after you take them? Have you had any negative side effects? I want to buy some to help with my daily pain and to sleep better...
Good video, just want to say one thing, 4:50, Springfield is 3 hours away from Chicago and it’s the state capital not a suburb.
Was just about to state this.
He's originally from Naperville. I think they said Springfield by mistake.
This case is so bizarre. I remember watching videos about Bryce’s case. I really hope that one day Bryce is found so that his family and loved ones can have some answers and closure.
So I live in the Naperville area and what that person wrote on Reddit seems legit to me based on that area alone. It's very upperclass rich people, with parents who care deeply about their images. And the kids have lots of money and usually disconnected relationships with their parents, so there is definitely that type of drug scene in the highschool, but because they are all "glamorous" on the outside, it's hard to even tell that type of stuff is going on. So that's the theory I think seems the most credible honestly.
came here to say the exact thing about Laguna Nigel. I was born in LN and raised about 20 minutes away in another city in Orange County. The attitude is the same and drugs are a big problem with these affluent families. Image and status is everything but it is all under the surface.
I graduated a year before him in Naperville and thought the same thing.
Can you pleaseeee get more tie dye jumpers back in stock? It looks GORGEOUS on you girllll 😍
In an act of rebellion and self care, I threw away a gift someone had given me in order to guilt me for my interactions with my main abuser, my mother. Ever since I was a small child, she had spun stories about me being the abuser and how much I had apparently hurt her, although behind closed doors she was harassing me physically, emotionally, and verbally. Her friend, the codependent she was, had given me the aforementioned heirloom with a note "be good to your mother" -- I threw both out. I had been attacked for years by my family and her friends, all for these horrific made up stories, when all along, I was the one who was being abused. Absolutely Brian would have given away those earrings if his mother was abusive. Absolutely he would have wanted to go no contact with his family if they drove him to with past abusive behaviors.
How many warnings did his parents after numerous phone calls need to go and get him?
Aw yay!!! thank you so much! so happy I got something early from y’all!!
Perfect timing! I just got all caught up on the sesh and lights out! Whoo love me a good mile higher production binge 😍 love your tie dye Kendall!
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians. This is such an intriguing case. So many questions, yet so little answers.
5.30 am in Melbourne Australia, what better way to start the day
Thank you for covering this story. I actually went to Naperville Central High I graduated in 08 but I have friends who's younger siblings knew Brice, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a bad thing about him and its such a heartbreaking story and I pray that he is at least found one day so his family can have the closure they desperately need.
I just find it weird that parents who are super controlling would send their kid to live 400 miles away instead of keeping them close by to keep an eye on them
I thought same thing
What if the Reddit post was Bryce himself…just a thought
I think if a missing person was going to post on social media they’d go on Reddit
After that one familicide post I wouldn’t be shocked
Im from Brazil end I'm totally addicted I'm your channel, you're aways so kind talking about the victims, so respectable...
i love it when i get here early, easily favourite content on youtube! hope you're all doing super well! 🥰
i keep walking in and finding my mum watching kendall on the tv, she says kendall is her favourite youtuber! 🥺 it makes me so happy! 💞
I totally agree, if that was my son I would be on my way to him the first time they got reported back that he was still at the rest stop. So strange. The Vyvanse was definitely effecting him. I've seen people act very strange and out of character when they over do the stimulants or take them unprescribed.
You guys at MHP Always knock it out of the park on every upload. Thank You for ALL you do!💫

No need to apologize so much for being late on the episode! You know we love ya!
As parents, my partner and I have always said we’d rather our kids were dead than just vanished without a trace, because we’d know where they are, as opposed to not knowing and imagining what is happening to them xx
..I'm sure that brings your children great comfort.
I love this episode, first time watching and the vibes are cozy.
Also, just a curious question, was this the topic of last weeks episode? Or did you guys choose a different topic. Idk why I’m just curious😂 love you guys.
I just found this channel, absolutely love it! You guys do a great job! Thank you for all the hard work you do.
