Season 19, episode #12

Lost in the Shadows: The Disappearance of Brandon Lawson

     This episode of ParaReality dives into the mysterious 2013 disappearance of Brandon Lawson in Bronte, Texas. Host Sandman explores the chilling details of the 26-year-old father's last known moments, including his frantic 911 call, his abandoned truck, and the decade-long search for answers. 


   The episode delves into Brandon's background, describing him as a devoted father of four who struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues. On the night of August 8, 2013, after an argument with his partner, Brandon left home to drive to his father's house, a three-hour journey. Around 12:30 AM, he called his brother, Kyle, saying he'd run out of gas and claiming he was being "chased out of town my Mexicans". This was followed by a disjointed and fear-filled 911 call where Brandon spoke of pushing "some guys over" and a "guy chasing me through the woods," with a loud noise like a gunshot heard in the background.


  The podcast details the immediate aftermath, including Kyle and a Sheriff's Deputy arriving at Brandon's truck to find it unlocked with his keys and cellphone missing, but no sign of Brandon or a struggle. Despite extensive searches, Brandon's trail went cold for years.


  A breakthrough occurred in February 2022 when volunteers found clothing matching what Brandon was last seen wearing, and subsequently, human remains were discovered and identified as Brandon Lawson's in December 2024, bringing some closure to his family.


  The episode then meticulously examines various theories surrounding Brandon's disappearance. It debunks initial hypotheses such as falling into water or abduction, given the discovery of his remains on dry land. The theory of Brandon intentionally disappearing is also dismissed due to the discovery of his body.


   Next, I'll explores more speculative and "conspiracy" theories, including paranormal explanations, secret government operations, a psychological breakdown, and accidental self-harm. Notably, the "alien abduction theory" is presented, featuring elements like the disjointed 911 call, the delayed discovery of remains in an already searched area, and the idea of vulnerable individuals being targeted in remote locations.


  My favorite and "most plausible" theory is a "Law Enforcement or Criminal Cover-Up". This theory suggests Brandon might have witnessed illegal activity or corruption, pointing to rumors he knew about illicit dealings, criticisms of the early investigation, and the delayed release of the 911 call audio. I propose that Brandon may have said "A Staper just pushed some guys over" in the 911 call, with "Staper" being Texas slang for state trooper, and suggests he might have witnessed or been involved in an incident with a "dirty state trooper". The presence of another voice and what sounds like a gunshot on the call further fuel this speculation.


  The episode features an interview with Dr. Emily Carter, a forensic psychologist, who provides insights into common patterns in missing persons cases, differentiating between voluntary disappearance and foul play, and the impact of mental state on such situations.


  Despite the discovery of Brandon's remains, the case remains unsolved, leaving many questions unanswered. If you have any information related to Brandon's disappearance, contact the Texas Rangers or the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline with any information.   1-800-252-TIPS (8477).
