Please pray for Brett and his family. Hoping he's in Vegas on a bender.

His truck was apparently found torched at that Bear Creek park. Also people are asking for video footage in his West U neighborhood between 3:30 and 4:30 Wed morning.

I do not know him. But he used to have kids and my kids' school and my wife knows his wife. It sounds bad. Praying for them.

Thank you for any and all help/prayers

Goodness wtf, sending prayers that somehow he turns up but also for peace and comfort for his family. Gut wrenching to think about, no matter the circumstances.

Sounds odd with the torched car. Was he into gambling or some other vice? Hoping for the best.

West U? My guess is he got in over his head in some white collar crime.
Sad.

He owns a home building company. Business should be good at this point.

Usually a burned vehicle is covering up a crime in that vehicle.

Doesn't sound good.

I wonder what he was doing out at 4 am on a weeknight? One of the prior reports asked for people in west u to look at their security cameras for video between 3:30-4:30 am to see if you could locate his truck driving by.

Don't know him, either, but our daughters do cheer together and our wives know one another. Definitely an odd deal.

Shades of the Terrence Starling disappearance

Since we're all up here wildly speculating:

Thefts of pickups and pickup parts have been through the roof since school let out. Could have caught a thief in the act and then would up dead because of it.

With the information that is public, it's all wild speculation. I doubt anything will be released publicly for some time.

I just don't get burning the truck. I keep going back and forth between him harming himself, and someone else getting him for whatever reason. The more things I learn the less certain of anything I am.

I have tried to ponder and my wild speculation ranges from faking disappearance to shady 4am deal gone wrong and killers/captors had to torch the evidence. I keep going back to, what could you possibly be doing out at 4am on a weeknight aside from criminal or sexual activity...are Strip Clubs still open then on weeknights? After hours bars?

From what I've heard, him leaving the house at 4:30 was slightly earlier than usual, but not so early that it would raise alarms.

Gotcha, I guess I forgot about how many absolute psychos there are out there who like to wake up before 6am to start their day. It's a struggle for me to wake up before 7am...but I do know a few super hard working regimented guys who wake up around 4:30-5am most days.

In all seriousness, I am sorry this has happened to a buddy of yours and continuing to pray for him and his family.

Bro, we all know you're the beta male that's jealous of others at an insane level. You don't have to celebrate it….

Quit derailing. My wife taught at WUE for years so been getting updates. I'm hoping for the best still.

Is there a gym open at 4:30 or 5 am? Houstonian? Briar club?
I know a lot of home builders (and I am one myself) but I do not know any of them that get to the office at 5 am.

The big question I have is if leaving at 4:20am is normal for him or not. For many folks, there's no red flag there at all, and a carjacking-gone-wrong would be the likely angle. For others, it would be a HUGE red flag that would take the investigation into a very different direction, such as a drug deal or other type of rendezvous-gone-wrong scenario.

Suicide or trying to run away to another life don't make any sense with his truck being torched, although I guess neither could be ruled 100% out based on what's being reported.

The outcome of this could literally be anything, but sadly, I'm pretty sure it won't be good.

I'm sure both of those clubs have people working out at that hour. Where I (pretend) to work out, I think it technically opens at 5 but I know you can go earlier.

If that was something he's done before though I feel like they would have gone down that path already tho.

I also think if the authorities thought it was a car jacking gone wrong they probably would have mentioned that by now, no reason not to share that. There are tran star cameras all over the city and at most of these intersections which would have caught that car jacking.

I understand that an individual (not the missing person) was seen leaving the scene of the vehicle and down Clay Road before he disappeared. That's who they are trying to catch on cameras in the area.

Sounds like there is a 2 hr window. Left house at 4:30. Truck found 6:30.
Car jacking? Robbery when he got to office? Meeting someone and things went bad?
Why burn truck?

Sorry about all this LPHA. I hope he is found and everyone can put this behind.

Your comment about him being in Vegas, would that be in the scope of possibility of something bad happening recently and him just needing a break from reality? Or would that not be him at all.

Plot twist: Missing guy's wife is a blogger and her blog is called "hide it from your husband'".

One running theory is that he routinely picked up day laborers (in construction and picked them up early in the am). Something might have gone sideways there.

No need for rumor mill here bud. Poor taste. Hope mods clean that up. Obviously lots of things flying around and it always turns out to be something else.

I am a big pot stirrer around here so I get it but come on.

I always think the rumors and speculation on stories like this are a little weird. Other than the obvious jokes.

Yes. Even for me those comments are over the top. LPHA is a good bourbon buddy of mine. He came here for support and opened up to us.

Lets respect that.

What else is going to posted if there aren't rumors? It's a thread on Texags.

I don't see anything in this thread that is inappropriate. Every "rumor" posted here is something the real investigators would see as a potential lead, and I can guarantee they are pursuing them as possible factors into this mystery.

The wife's comment about "hide it from your husband"? Probably just a stupid joke we all tell from time to time, but it's worth looking into.

Picking up day laborers? Happens all the time and rarely results in murder, but it's worth looking into.

Contract dispute and possibly owing people money? Happens all the time and doesn't seem like enough to warrant a murder, but it's worth looking into.

Maybe some comments have been cleaned up by the mods, but based on what I see here currenly, none of this is in poor taste or inappropriate.
