Wayne’s questions above are all V key & relevant.. & point to a disturbing apathy/ ineptitude on the part of investigators.. My biggest question-mark is, why wasn’t AJ properly investigated & given a lie-detector test? (Esp. since he appropriated Brian’s car & belongings, & told police Brian “would have wanted” him to do that!! Really?? As iF..) Why would cops just accept AJ’s obvs lies, like wet noodles, & not probe further?? Makes NO sense.. And those poor cats – how are they & who’s caring for them now??
Brian’s dissapearance got to my attention when wathiching the report on ID Investigation channel. I wonder how come A.J. was never asked to pass the polygraph test? At least, except if I’m mistaking, it’s never mentioned by the detective Chuck Massucci. A.J. is very suspect. Please keep me posted.
