Q & A

What was the main reason for the argument between Brandon and Ladisa on the night of his disappearance?

The specific reason for the argument is unclear, but it may have been due to Brandon returning home late and possibly being under the influence of drugs, as Ladisa noticed his past history with substance use.

What was Brandon's plan after leaving the house on August 8, 2013?

Brandon planned to go to his father’s house, which was about a four-hour drive away. However, instead of taking the usual route, he chose a different road, Highway 277, leading him to an unfamiliar and deserted area.

What was significant about Brandon's 911 call?

Brandon's 911 call was extremely difficult to understand. He mentioned being in a field, feeling chased, and being in a panic. The recording was unclear, and there were concerns that it might have been edited or altered.

Why was Ladisa not immediately concerned about Brandon after his phone call about running out of gas?

Ladisa was not immediately concerned because she assumed Brandon was just in a temporary situation. Despite knowing he was stranded, she took a shower and went to bed, which some find strange given the circumstances.

How did Kyle, Brandon's brother, try to help after hearing Brandon's calls?

Kyle tried to help by bringing a gas can to Brandon. When he couldn’t reach Brandon by phone, he decided to drive to his location, but due to bad reception and unclear communication, he was unable to make contact with him.

What did the sheriff's department do when they found Brandon’s truck?

The sheriff's department found Brandon’s truck, but there was no sign of Brandon. They did not mention the 911 call made by Brandon earlier, and they did not treat it as a case of a missing person at that point.

What was the significance of Brandon’s missing personal items?

When the truck was found, Brandon's keys, wallet, and phone were missing. This raised concerns, especially since his phone was later confirmed to have made calls that night, suggesting something was wrong.

Why did the family feel frustrated with the police's handling of Brandon's case?

The Lawson family felt frustrated because the police did not immediately conduct a thorough search. It took several days for any significant search efforts, and the first official search was only conducted a week later using a helicopter.

What role did the landowners play in the investigation?

Many landowners along the highway where Brandon went missing did not allow the family or investigators to search their properties, which fueled suspicions that something may have been hidden or that Brandon could have encountered trouble on their land.

What are the main theories surrounding Brandon's disappearance?

The main theories include Brandon possibly being under the influence of drugs, which caused confusion and disorientation; him being killed by a local landowner; or him encountering dangerous individuals, possibly the Mexicans he mentioned in his calls, leading to his death.
