There is about a 40-minute window in Brandon's life that leads to so many questions. In the time between calling his brother Kyle to bring him gas and Kyle arriving, Brandon called 911, asking for "the cops" to "please hurry." In another call to Kyle's girlfriend, Brandon said he was bleeding and that he was 10 minutes up the road. The last known ping from his cell phone was from a tower 3 miles away from the scene, and his family has been looking for him ever since. We're only left with questions: What happened to Brandon that night? Was he in danger from people in the area or was he delusional? Where is he now?
After a fight with his live-in girlfriend, Ladessa Lofton, Brandon decides to leave for the night and go to his dad's house, which is around a 2-hour drive away.
Brandon's truck ran out of gas outside of Bronte, Texas. He called his brother, Kyle, to ask him to bring him some. This leads to Kyle retrieving a gas can from Brandon and Ladessa's home.
There is a recording of this call, but there are issues. The call quality is bad, the recording is bad, Brandon has a strong accent, and it took months to receive it from the police. There are countless interpretations to what was said on the call and debates on if it was edited.
A professional truck driver called 911 to report a vehicle that was a hazard. A truck (which was Brandon's) was parked, with the tail over the line and in the lane. This is the call that the local police responded to, not Brandon's call.
Kyle gets to the truck. Brandon is not there and neither is his cellphone or the truck keys, but a local deputy arrived at about the same time.
She says he was incoherent, but she understood that he was "10 minutes up the road" and that he "is bleeding".
Kyle repeatedly called as they were looking for him. Around 3:30 a.m., it stopped ringing and started going directly to voicemail.
This is where Kyle and the local deputy found Brandon's truck and where the searches began.
He lived with his girlfriend and kids in San Angelo and was heading to his father's house in Crowley.
Depending on traffic, this is a 3-4 hour drive from San Angelo, where Brandon was leaving just before midnight.
Kyle eventually got gas here and brought it back to Brandon's truck.
Brandon's call to 911 is an important part of the case and there has been many attempts to transcribe it, with varying results. This video has an edited version of the call, along with the words they believe he is saying.
