Ahh, okay. Still though, the day he went missing the cops found him and he told them he was fine. I think the guy just wants to get off the grid/not be found.
Hopefully that's the case and nothing bad has happened. You have to think that he'd have be found if something bad were to happen to him, though.
Let me preface this by saying I think Brian is alive. However that area out there can be quite sketchy, lots of missing people never found. I was at the location he went missing, if something happened and they didn't want you found, that would be an easy thing to accomplish.
As far as the cops out there letting him go, he was naked praying in the field when they stopped him. That was at least the second time he was naked in a field that day as other people spoke to Brian earlier. The cops left him go after talking with his father, a police officer. So I don't know, maybe a little bit questionable state of mind and a lot of the details don't make any kind of sense.
Hopefully any riders from Phoenix west to San Diego can keep their eyes open. There have been some various reports, some aren't Brian and some maybe's.
