My name is Brian and I lost a brother about two and a half years ago while he was going to college out in Kansas. It just so happened that he called one late Sunday night saying that someone was chasing him. While on his cell phone he talked to my father. Finally getting him calm they got an action plan together to get him to go back into town. His family, we all lived in Colorado, no where close to getting him help. Shortly after he felt that he was on his way back into town the cell phone connection lost signal and that was the last we had heard from him.
At that moment our lives stopped, and starting taking a new direction. We were left wondering his where abouts for almost 24 hours before receiving the news that they had discovered his body. To this day the death has gone a mystery and the police have told us little to nothing. We fight on a monthly basis to learn where the case could be headed. There have been so many obstacles we have overcome to keep the case going. The police tell us that it's not a cold case file, but at the same time take months to make interviews happen.
We live a thousand miles away from where the investigation occurred, so course it's easy for them to blow of our phone calls, emails, and letters. If anyone would have any advice in to how to have our voices heard, I would be grateful if you would share. I know that we're not alone in our fight to find out the killer(s). Victims must come together and share what we have learned.

Dear Brian, I'm very sorry about your Brother. I'm glad you found this board and hope you find some comfort here. There's at least 1 other MVS on here with an unsolved case. As far as getting the word out, you may want to check with Parents of Murdered Children for advice. There's a link to them on here. I hope justice is done in your case 1 day. Again, welcome to the board. Take care.

Thank you Laura! I am glad that I have found this board, and find that it already has been a great big help with the many different links, and advice shared. I have been calling different organizations, anyone that has the potential to help. The worst that could happen is that they can't do a thing, the best that could happen is that a connection can be made. Victims need a voice, and this board is one of the many different ways to do that.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. Do you know if there is a victim's advocate program in the county that he was found in? We get most of our information from the Victim's Advocate. and we live in a different state than where the murders took place. She even lets us vent our frustrations to her about our own suspicions. I will be adding you to my prayers.

Brian, I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. My father was murdered 35 yrs ago and his murder is still unsolved today. I'd like to suggest keeping copies of everything pertaining to your brother's case. I was 7 when my dad was murdered and he was my grandparents only child. They were so distraught at the time that they decided to not pursue his case any further. This conclusion was reached after many false leads. I resigned myself to not knowing who murdered my dad, but on my grandfather's deathbed he asked me to look into it because he couldn't stand that he was dying still not knowing. I hope my dad was there waiting for him with all the answers he needed when he passed. Anyway, by the time i started digging into the case I found a lot of discrepencies and i also found the last person to see my dad alive that day(besides the murderer of course). I'm not sure the guy was of sound mind but he hada few theories about the murder. Maybe he was a conspiracy theorist but he felt my dad's murder was covered up by the police. I dismissed his theories at the time but imagine my surprise when I finally contacted the retired homicide detective from his case and he told me no good could come from my persuing this any farther. Oh, and the new cold case det. said he searched high and low and the whole case file is missing along with any evidence. I've had to deal with the fact that there are no answers for us right now. As for you brother's case I would knock on as many doors as possible, get his story out there, and keep as many records as possible. Somebody knows what happened and I have hope that at some point we find the answers that we seek. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Brian, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I know that something with the investigation sounds fishy. I wish I could help you. I myself am here in Colorado and may be able to find advice for you but it will take some searching. I can contact DA's offices here in Denver who dealt with my sister and ask what else you can do. Not sure though if you have done this. You can always call Valarie Law with the Denver DA (I do not know her number, google does I am sure) and tell her I sent you, she may offer some advice. Again, I am so sorry! Maggie Grewe
