The cons? Well, as I’ve talked about many times, it’s not easy to just up and leave and start a new life somewhere. And it’s not all about the money. I don’t care if you’re broke or a millionaire, it’s going to be tough to do, especially when you know people will be looking for you.

Brian would know that his father and brother would wonder where he was. He would know that his friends would wonder where he was. Brian would know law enforcement would at least give a cursory look into his disappearance. Meaning, he would have to fool all of them.

Not easy.

Moreover, except for possibly the check that was never cashed, Brian seemingly gave no indications he would walk off. No notes. No internet searches. So, if Brian started a new life, he must’ve done it with no planning.

There is also another glaring point that no one has seemed to mention over the past 15 years. If Brian really didn’t like what he was doing with his life, why did he have to walk off to change it? Why not just quit school? Why not just dump Alexis? Why not just say, “Hey, this all sucks, everyone. I’m moving to Vegas. See ya.”

  1. That photo of the guy with the long hair and sunglasses looks just like Brian. I have followed this case also. Your podcast is the best by far. I have always thought there was something fishy about his disappearance. Having dinner with his father. Wanting his brother to join him. His odd comments to his girl friend about running away. Now I find out about the uncashed check. Could he have set up something for himself in Puerto Rico the summer before. I agree it’s really hard to start a new life but I believe he may still be alive.
