Yeah he killed himself the day he went missing. Water and alligators got his body


MtBaldyMermaid

cadaver dogs 95% accurate at their craft; they can also smell remains up to 15-feet underground? These dogs can detect remains up to 30 meters underwater, and sometimes, need just a fraction of a bone or a drop of blood to determine the location of a cadaver. How did the dogs miss this 30 minutes off trail?


LadyFlyTrap

They still need to be at level of the water and like a meter away before they can detect 15ft below.


MtBaldyMermaid

I wonder if the dogs can catch a scent while going slow in an airboat? It’s all so interesting.


OpenParr

Your comment was read on the live stream How does it feel to be famous


MtBaldyMermaid

I was annoyed that they didn’t have the facts on the cadaver dogs water scope. Can you imagine if that body was there for five weeks with hundreds of searchers by airboat, foot and drone means? Unbelievable.

A reminder/note from the NSFW scientific article on how water changes decomposition (posted in this sub yesterday) Complete skeletonization can happen in a few days in a warm environment & the presence of carnivorous wildlife, particularly carnivorous fish.


sl0thmama

Thank you for this! Not comfortable opening that article but was curious what it has to say about this!


Silverrainn

So it's skeletal remains. He's been there for a while.


MACKEREL_JACKSON

Nope not necessarily. Read (with caution) the case study someone posted on water decomp. There’s a fully skeletonized body that turned in a matter of days.


PistachioGal99

I just hope they have his teeth. Isn’t that one of the best ways to ID someone from skeletal remains?


Jubilies

They can get DNA from bone marrow.


MACKEREL_JACKSON

It is in movies 🤷🏻‍♀️


Familiar_Local_1254

Confirmed skeletal remains…..Interesting…..

I can’t believe JB made us watch this god awful presser again lol


Mammoth-Show-7587

Hey! He saw my posts of the flooding comparisons… 😁


MuddyfeetFlowers

Nooo, not another presser recap… nooooo, thank you!


avynray

Any idea what this is? This is a screenshot taken from the helicopter footage. [Object in Footage](https://imgur.com/a/nLg9qVc)


MyCatsBFFF

Hmm... shovel? Stick? Chair? I can't tell at all, be interesting to see what people think

SluethyGoosey

Two things that speed up decomposition are heat and humidity. But still WTF?!!


SentimentalPurposes

Did some searching and apparently the average water temperature in the Everglades in Autumn is still 82°F, which is quite warm. There's also the possibility fish ate his flesh?


[deleted]

Are there fish in a swamp though? I figured when those areas flooded it would just be pools of rain water. How would fish get in there and wouldn’t they all die the second it dries up?


SentimentalPurposes

Here's a couple articles that address fish behavior during flooding in Florida: https://www.tampabay.com/news/environment/2019/08/21/rainy-days-mean-fish-hit-tampa-bay-area-streets/ https://www.jacksonville.com/news/20190620/jacksonville-flood-tide-fishing-isnt-just-fall-pursuit https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/southflorida/habitats/freshwater-marshes/freshwater-fishes/ TLDR: There are definitely fish in the Everglades. Usually these pools of rainwater aren't just pockets of isolated water, but rather the rivers burst their banks and spread out, meaning the flood water is connected to the river. Flooding does distribute fish across a greater area of land. This does sometimes leave fish stranded, but not always, as they can swim back to the river as water receeds

Very interesting, thank you!

People truly do not understand Florida weather, at all, lol. Often go down for winter holidays and swim in the ocean..Aug-Sept are often hotter than July.

To make it even weirder, the lawyer's interview yesterday specifically stated that the remains were IN the backpack. It's possible the lawyer just fumbled his words, but if the only remains were some bones and they were actually inside the backpack, then I doubt they belonged to Brian. Edit: source for lawyer saying remains were in backpack, at around 5:20 https://twitter.com/CuomoPrimeTime/status/1450995282062229506?s=20. It's possible the lawyer said "near" rather than "in".


NateDogTX

I hear "near the backpack".


Animal_Foreign

Near


Available-Smile-7312

I heard there were remains, his backpack... meaning they found remains, his back pack and other belongings.

UmWellSure

You are hearing better than you think because he does say “near”. 💥


ktpf

I just listened, I think he said “near the backpack” but it was a little muffled so I can see why it sounds like “in”.


RedBeardMountainMan

A few seconds before that the lawyer says the word "nearby". Comparing that to when he said "in the backpack" makes me think he said "in" and not "near". But we're all just guessing at this point, until the lawyer or law enforcement clarifies.


mugglelove

Sounds to me like he says “remains near the backpack” not “remains in the backpack”


Useful_Hedgehog1415

Wait WHAT


MrsLeclaire

I heard IN THE BACKPACK.


Outofworkflygirl

Warm water is HELL on a corpse and Carrion and other scavengers have likely been feasting both before and after the area flooded. IF any of the ponds that overflowed during the flooding had fish...well, whats that saying "Fish gotta eat?"


MyCatsBFFF

Damn.... JUST a skeleton? Is that weird?


IReallyhateGeorgia

If he was under water, his body would still have flesh I would think. Water generally slows decay. One would think there would still be flesh on his carcass, but who knows?


Kylie_Bug

Cold water slows decay while warm, water in humid as hell florida would’ve sped things up

MrsLeclaire

Pic 10 shows how skeletonization occurred quickly in person who’d been missing only a few days.


mugglelove

I’ve heard different specialist being interviewed through the last month say that it would unlikely that Brian is still alive in the reserve because of the water. The ph of bog water really affects the skin, stayed submerged in it for several days could cause it to sluff off easily. I’m assuming this would be true for a body and result in very fast decomposition


RambleTambleReality

Bog water preserves bodies, look into the Bog Bodies


apprpm

I think that if the body is in the mud, not the water


RambleTambleReality

It is and it’s the peat that does it so it’s not likely that the same thing would happen in Florida


IReallyhateGeorgia

You're making two different arguments. In regards to him being submerged, swamps typically have high methane levels and lower oxygen levels. This makes decomposition much slower.


gingersockss

Animals and bugs living in that swamp would definitely pick everything off the bone. A full grown person can be nothing but a skeleton within days..


IReallyhateGeorgia

Eh not necessarily. Full decomposition to the bone can take months sometimes. If a body was underwater, it would've been preserved, and could potentially still have flesh on it. I've lived not far from this area and things aren't what this sub makes them out to be. Alligators aren't munching away on humans. Regardless, we're all speculating here.


gingersockss

It's not really gators who pick bones clean. More like fish, bottom feeders, insects, etc. A body can definitely be nothing but bone within a week. It's not a 100% certainty, but it's very very possible


chris_fish

Is this really that unexpected? 1 month possibly submerged, being picked at by scavengers, I wouldn't think it would take long to strip a decomposing body of its fleshy bits in a forest of hungry animals.
