Speaker 1: You're from Brandon, right, Chel to Jeremy.
0:10
Speaker 2: This is twenty one year old Brandon Reisner standing alongside
0:14
his two parents. For the last six hours, Brandon has
0:19
been on the run from police after brutally killing his
0:23
best friend.
0:24
Speaker 3: You help the pants head back toward calling away.
0:30
Speaker 2: And as Brandon's parents learn their son is an alleged killer,
0:34
all they can do is pray as they patiently wait
0:38
for their son's fate.
0:42
Speaker 1: Right, Joel, Jeremy, I have to say it out here?
0:45
Speaker 4: Would you like to talk and private?
1:09
Speaker 2: On a cold November morning in twenty twenty two, a
1:12
ditched Toyo de Prias would be discovered by officers in Rome, Georgia.
1:17
Speaker 5: There's nothing, That's what I was looking for. There's nothing.
1:22
Speaker 2: Why this car was ditched in the middle of a
1:24
creek is something police were yet to figure out.
1:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think you didn't he No, Okay, so
1:33
his names Aaron Davis, supposed to be coming Rome seeks
1:37
of friends and going to Alabama Sea and drug. I
1:40
don't think you may there. No, I wonder where that
1:44
Why is car down there?
1:45
Speaker 1: Crazy thing is there's nothing, I mean, there's no acceleration.
1:49
Speaker 5: It's almost like it just broke off in here or something.
1:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, did it go all the way up in park
1:55
or something?
1:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's day's lights. I don't like it's
1:59
but it ain't running running. I rolled over here to
2:02
see what was going on.
2:03
Speaker 7: Hey, you down a train out the trash.
2:05
Speaker 2: A tow truck would eventually come and lift the vehicle
2:08
out from the creek, and upon searching the license plate number,
2:12
they would discover it belonged to twenty one year old
2:16
Aaron Davis. Luckily, the town of Rome, Georgia, is relatively
2:21
small and officers were already familiar with the name, so
2:25
Lieutenant Sailors would give Erin's father a call a few
2:28
minutes later.
2:32
Speaker 5: Okay, can you see he maybe you can get a
2:34
hotel in checking William two words, Carl's supposed to be
2:40
pets down the car abandon there he Yeah, it's actually
2:44
off for a little bitch. We're in the process of
2:46
getting it out. I don't think there's anybody in it
2:48
right now.
2:49
Speaker 2: Erin's car being ditched is just as much of a
2:52
mystery to his father as it is for the police. However,
2:56
he did have some useful details he was able to
2:58
give the lieutenant following this call. The night prior to
3:03
this footage, Aaron went to visit his longtime friend Brandon Reisner.
3:08
The two had been friends since middle school and their
3:11
friendship continued all the way through college. Aaron had just
3:14
recently graduated from Brigham Young University, so his over sixty
3:19
mile travel to visit Brandon was meant to celebrate the
3:22
new start to adulthood. But ever since Aaron had left
3:27
for Brandon's house, nobody had heard from him, and his
3:31
phone would go straight to voicemail. All of these strange
3:38
mysteries would lead Aaron's father to file a missing person's report,
3:42
and an investigation to find Aaron would officially begin. First,
3:48
and most obviously, police would give Brandon Reisner a call,
3:52
as he was supposedly the last person to have been
3:54
in contact with erin.
3:56
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm ltena Sayler was wrong. Place you do right today?
3:59
Speaker 8: Yes?
3:59
Speaker 5: I am.
4:00
Speaker 4: I'm looking for my friend right now.
4:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I was coming about. I don't know
4:04
you hadn't heard from him.
4:05
Speaker 3: I have not.
4:05
Speaker 4: I've tried calling him and it's just concentrated the voicemail.
4:08
Speaker 7: And I heard he was at Heritage Park, So that's
4:11
where I'm at right now, so I'm gonna I'm looking around.
4:14
Do you guys know where the car was?
4:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was in a ditch over there. What's the
4:19
last time you saw Aaron? I saw him last night
4:23
about what time.
4:25
Speaker 7: Well, we started drinking around like twelve, and he started
4:30
throwing up pretty bad.
4:32
Speaker 5: He told me to leave him alone.
4:33
Speaker 7: I guess I woke up around and that's when I saw.
4:38
Speaker 4: That his car's gone.
4:39
Speaker 5: All right, Well, if y'all hear from him, let us know, Okay, Yeah,
4:42
thank you.
4:45
Speaker 2: Brandon's story made complete sense, and he even claims to
4:49
be actively looking for Aaron at the time of the
4:51
phone call, as any good friend would do. It seemed
4:54
like Brandon was clearly the person they needed to speak
4:57
to further in order to get to the bottom of
4:59
Aaron's disappearance, so a few hours later, they showed up
5:03
unannounced at Brandon's house to get more answers about what
5:07
happened the night before, this time face to face.
5:13
Speaker 6: Hey, it was going on. I'm after going with the
5:15
right place from and we're following up on all this.
5:17
Can you walk me through what's going on? Just make
5:19
sure we're all the same bag. We started drinking around
5:23
twelve yesterday. Yeah, it's you and Aaron, right, Yeah, anyone
5:27
else for you guys?
5:31
Speaker 4: And I had bought some red wine.
5:33
Speaker 9: Yeah okay, here started drinking red wine.
5:40
Speaker 4: It doesn't drink too often. So yeah, he had gone
5:42
upstairs and was just peeping.
5:44
Speaker 7: Everywhere into the toilet's like standing up a.
5:49
Speaker 3: H.
5:50
Speaker 10: And I went downstairs. He doesn't need any help. I
5:56
went downstairs, dropped a bottle my m H. And I
6:02
went to the urgent care this morning, took a shower
6:05
once a bit, okay, and then we'll go one to
6:08
two am.
6:10
Speaker 4: And this car's gone.
6:11
Speaker 2: Despite Brandon's strange demeanor, Aaron's actions last night connect with
6:16
the ditched car and lack of response for the last
6:18
twelve hours. If Erin was a light drinker and got
6:21
heavily intoxicated, who knows what he could have done, well,
6:24
completely by himself.
6:26
Speaker 11: So how long have you and Aaron been in friends?
6:28
We bet when I was okay, he became more like
6:34
close friends. I'd say, like freshmen.
6:38
Speaker 6: We're still trying to find him. I don't know, you know,
6:40
he may just be staying at a hotel, sleeping off.
6:43
Whatever appened last night, it doesn't miss, sure that mean
6:45
he's in danger or anything like that. You have any
6:47
problem with those?
6:48
Speaker 5: Checkond and so.
6:49
Speaker 6: No problem, No ferocious iguanas or anything. You never know, man,
6:55
people have all kinds of pads.
6:57
Speaker 2: The officer would search the house and find some interesting discoveries.
7:02
Several doors would be locked, specifically the door leading to
7:05
Aaron's room, where he supposedly threw up several times. This
7:10
was strange, so Brandon would be called inside to help
7:14
get them up to Aaron's room.
7:16
Speaker 6: Come on, coming in here with me so you can
7:17
just show me where I'm going a lot. Yeah, this
7:20
makes a little bit easier. The bathroom is up there
7:22
that he was up checking in.
7:24
Speaker 5: I got you. We'll follow out. Lord.
7:29
Speaker 6: Is that what's in the laundry right now? I guess okay.
7:34
Speaker 2: Officers would notice a strong chemical smell coming from the
7:38
room and find excessive amounts of cleaning supplies, but all
7:42
of that would mean nothing compared to what they found next.
7:52
Speaker 6: There's a significant amount of blood next to the bed,
7:55
too decent, more than just vomit all way over here.
8:03
Looks like I've been there a while, but he could
8:05
have been thrown out.
8:06
Speaker 5: Blood.
8:06
Speaker 6: I guess it's weird to be throwing out blood like that,
8:10
not to mention if he had alcohol poisoning, you would
8:12
have been able to get up and move around this morning,
8:16
especially at two or three in the morning.
8:18
Speaker 4: Hord Powder right thereto.
8:22
Speaker 2: The cops are starting to find the whole scenario awfully suspicious.
8:28
The odd story from Brandon, the puddles of blood in
8:32
Aaron's room, the hundreds of dollars worth of cleaning supplies.
8:36
It seems as though Brandon, since the officer's suspicion arising,
8:40
as well as when Aaron's room was being searched, he
8:43
decided to do this.
8:53
Speaker 5: Oh get out.
9:08
Speaker 3: Now, he's up the pants, head back forwards, Callingwood somewhere
9:28
between laport and I mean these houses.
9:30
Speaker 6: No go up to the house, get in the backyard.
9:33
Speaker 12: Possible ten forty three suspect, run back for night, Give
9:44
me more units.
9:48
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, officers lost sight of Brandon. He officially managed to
9:52
escape the police, at least for now. Desperate for any
9:57
leads that might aid in finding Brandon, Lee began going
10:01
door to door around the neighborhood, questioning witnesses who might
10:04
have caught a glimpse of where he had fled. During
10:06
this effort, one officer encountered a neighbor who happened to
10:09
be on a call with Brandon's father, Jeremy. Quickly, the
10:13
officer took the phone to speak with him directly.
10:16
Speaker 5: Thanks, sir, I'm the ken of Silent Rome's lease.
10:18
Speaker 4: Ahright am I Jeremy Reisner, the homeowner?
10:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, Brandon's father. Yeah, we're probably gonna need to talk
10:24
to Brandon. Do you know where he is?
10:26
Speaker 3: Oh?
10:26
Speaker 8: I thought he was still at home now and earlier
10:29
we had told him maybe a drive around the areas
10:31
where they normally hang out and try to look for
10:33
him for Aaron, We'll keep trying to get hold of them.
10:37
We're still about an hour away, working our way there.
10:40
Speaker 2: Even Jeremy was clueless regarding Brandon's whereabouts, and seemingly so
10:45
was everyone else, as an entire hour would go by
10:48
with Brandon nowhere to be found.
10:59
Speaker 3: Thanks, that's.
11:02
Speaker 4: So I realized you might not be answer this question.
11:04
Answer their suspicion that Brandon was involved in or something.
11:11
Speaker 5: They're suspicion of.
11:12
Speaker 4: Something happening beyond get Well, we don't know that your
11:18
life friends. We called back.
11:21
Speaker 13: After the boy's mom called us, we called back when
11:25
did the last see I guess.
11:26
Speaker 4: He left during the night. That's all we did. He
11:29
went to look for him where the car was reported. Yes,
11:33
powers of you have our number?
11:35
Speaker 5: Yes? Yes, yeah.
11:37
Speaker 2: Well, trying his best to assist the police with the investigation,
11:41
Jeremy would return to his house, where he discovered Brandon's phone.
11:45
Up until that point, Jeremy had been doing everything he
11:49
could to help the police track down his son. However,
11:52
after finding the phone, his cooperation came to a sudden stop.
11:57
He refused to hand the phone over, leaving police to
12:00
had he seen something on it or was he hiding
12:03
something far more unsettling. But before we get to that,
12:07
Jeremy is not alone in facing a tragedy. Unfortunately, it
12:11
can happen to any of us. Take event Torrens. She
12:14
was walking home from work in Philadelphia when a truck
12:17
struck her without warning. Morgan and Morgan fought for her
12:20
in court and won her nearly twelve million dollars. If
12:23
you're seriously hurt, your injury could be worth millions. With
12:26
over one thousand attorneys, Morgan and Morgan will fight to
12:29
give you the best results if you become their client,
12:32
and unless you win. They do it all for free.
12:35
In just the past few months, Morgan and Morgan has
12:38
helped hundreds of people. One car crash victim in Florida
12:41
won a verdict worth twelve million dollars and another in
12:44
Philadelphia twenty six million dollars. That was forty times more
12:49
than their insurance offered. So if you ever got seriously injured,
12:52
your case could be worth millions and it takes only
12:55
a few minutes to see if you have a case.
12:57
You can start your claim with Morgan and Morgan by
13:00
visiting www dot forthpeople dot com slash insanity found in
13:05
the description, or by scanning the QR code on the
13:08
screen from your phone's camera. With that said, let's get
13:11
back to Jeremy, who would go on to discover Brandon's
13:14
phone while searching around the house. This was a huge
13:17
discovery for the investigation as it could help trace where
13:20
Brandon could have gone off too. But unfortunately, Jeremy was
13:24
unwilling to give up the phone to cops until he
13:27
could better understand the situation. After all, Brandon is his
13:31
son and he is innocent until proven guilty, so giving
13:34
up the phone could be a tragic mistake. Again, hours
13:39
go by with no further leads or clues as to
13:42
where Brandon went. What Jeremy managed to find on Brandon's
13:46
phone during this period will forever remain a mystery. However,
13:51
when police spoke to him again, his demeanor would shift dramatically.
13:56
Speaker 4: What's status?
13:58
Speaker 14: So for fortyfouns found a cell phone that trying?
14:01
Speaker 8: You want to turn that over to us?
14:03
Speaker 14: Maybe?
14:03
Speaker 4: Okay, I do My God says yes. But at the
14:06
same time, yeah, I mean, we don't know.
14:07
Speaker 14: We'll probably need to go through it and see at
14:10
least maybe where he's the end today, there is a
14:12
significant amount of blood in that upstairs bedrain on the coffee.
14:17
But I wanted to be straight up with you knocking
14:20
on Fine.
14:21
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. Do you have a warrant that would
14:25
include the phone?
14:26
Speaker 14: No, we'd have to get one of something. We couldn't
14:29
go into it without that. Some tacks back and forth,
14:34
maybe something help. And you know, I know I'm see him,
14:36
you know, but I can't. I can't promise you that
14:39
I know I was in there. So I want you
14:42
as I know as a father, I understand that.
14:46
Speaker 4: All right, Well, yeah, I'm gonna keep walking.
14:49
Speaker 2: Something had changed Whatever was on that phone had to
14:54
be disturbing, and the officer seemed to have caught onto
14:58
this as well.
15:00
Speaker 6: Because he doesn't know what's going on. But he seemed
15:03
a little shocked that we're at his house.
15:04
Speaker 8: You know.
15:05
Speaker 6: He seemed respectful in the sense that he was okay
15:07
with us being at his house and do what we
15:09
needed to do. I can't really get a feel for him.
15:12
He may just be covering for his kid. He's gotta
15:14
be in having the phone not being shattered. Tells me
15:18
that his son hated it to him, so he got
15:20
the phone. Tells us study found the phone but doesn't
15:23
want to give it to a subouser.
15:25
Speaker 4: Tice messages out there.
15:27
Speaker 6: Probably he was selling rated there were him asking where
15:32
if anyone had seen air.
15:34
Speaker 4: I wondered that's text.
15:35
Speaker 11: For sent since we've been to Garvell.
15:37
Speaker 2: These officers were spot on with their theory. On the phone,
15:41
Brandon would leave an array of horrifying notes, such as
15:46
his screen became a gargle as he swallowed his tongue.
15:50
I like dark places where my mind melts. It feels
15:53
so good and I feel so cool. My brain's a
15:57
waterfall running out of my nose, Like drool. I can
16:00
turn myself on in the blink of an eye. They
16:02
notified me as the smartest man alive. Additionally, he would
16:07
leave it to do list following the murder of Arin.
16:10
One schedule last three songs. This was in reference to
16:13
his YouTube channel, where he would post his music. Two vacuum,
16:18
three laundry, four, shower in my shower, five, take bath tomorrow.
16:25
One text Rachel that Arin threw up horribly. I think
16:29
there was some blood in it. Two I woke up
16:32
and he was gone. Whether or not these exact messages
16:36
were what alarmed Jeremy is unknown, but something on that
16:41
phone made it clear to him that Brandon had killed Arin,
16:46
and just an hour later, Jeremy would call police, detailing
16:51
that he was with Brandon and that he was willing
16:54
to surrender and turn himself in. So twenty five minutes later,
16:59
Brandon and his parents would arrive at the station.
17:02
Speaker 1: You're we're Brandon, Rachel, Thank you.
17:07
Speaker 3: Yes, m.
17:30
Speaker 1: Rachel, jeremyn have set out here. I'm gonna take thee
17:34
back there and yeah, we'll talk. Man, would you like
17:37
to talk in private?
17:40
Speaker 4: You mean, since it's gonna be out the okay, I'll
17:45
be right back out with you.
17:46
Speaker 1: Okay, m anything in your pockets that I need to
17:58
know about? H waling keys was real quick? Anything else?
18:03
H sorry about that?
18:06
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
18:06
Speaker 2: See Now that Brandon was secured, the detective would sit
18:15
him down to try and get a basic confession or
18:17
any information that might ease the path to conviction.
18:21
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta say, I'm detecting your work here
18:25
throng pet of course, detective or yeah that's me. So
18:30
before we get started, guts some play for work you
18:33
gotta fill out.
18:34
Speaker 2: The detective would start the interview by getting Brandon's basic
18:37
information and contact addresses.
18:39
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read you some stuff before we get started. Okay,
18:42
you have the right to remain silent. Have the rats
18:44
talked to a lawyer for advice before you are asked questions,
18:46
and have him with you during questioning.
18:49
Speaker 4: I would lucky you would lack a lawyer. All right,
18:53
sit tip just a minute.
18:56
Speaker 2: Brandon was smart. He knows nothing, he says. The interrogation
19:01
room will go on to help him in court, so
19:04
he decides to keep his mouth shut. Well, this is
19:08
unfortunate for the detective. Brandon's parents are more than willing
19:11
to have a discussion with him, so instead he turns
19:15
his attention over to them to try and get the
19:17
information that he's looking for.
19:34
Speaker 4: But thank you.
19:41
Speaker 3: As well. Going on now.
19:45
Speaker 14: Something that we can thank you, Bob.
19:51
Speaker 4: You sorry to shure you. I can try to show you.
19:55
Speaker 14: You can kind of show us a general area.
20:00
Speaker 4: Cemeterium turned left trend something like.
20:07
Speaker 2: Sure, this statement from Jeremy was crucial information to track
20:12
down Aaron's body. But as valuable as this information is,
20:17
the detective recognized the importance of capitalizing on the opportunity
20:21
to gather as much from Jeremy as possible, while he
20:24
remained cooperative. With this in mind, he shifted his focus
20:28
to delving deeper into Brandon's personal life before turning to
20:32
search for the body.
20:35
Speaker 4: For knowledge.
20:36
Speaker 13: Because you have an anxiety attacks seven thoughts? Who was
20:42
having visions?
20:44
Speaker 9: Make me say, I guess my occasions right, I'm going
20:47
to call Brandon this morning.
20:50
Speaker 4: Checks for.
20:55
Speaker 11: So they are great.
20:57
Speaker 4: He didn't want now.
20:59
Speaker 9: Sure that's all we heard. Hour goes by ors, mom
21:05
calls us all right, brand so you know, and virtual
21:16
parent and runaway that's probably as.
21:24
Speaker 13: Yes, trusts a kid pass a kid and with that
21:34
comes with ce people say that I'm sorr. They don't understand,
21:39
and so I love with that.
21:41
Speaker 2: This raises the possibility that his actions may have been
21:45
influenced by mental instability. However, it's important to consider the context.
21:51
Jeremy's statements could be an attempt to have Brandon plead
21:54
insanity in court. Therefore, it's essential to approach these claims
21:59
with a grain of as they may not fully reflect
22:02
the reality of the situation. Regardless, police now had an
22:06
approximate location of where Aaron's body should be, so all
22:10
hands went on deck to search the cemetery Jeremy had described.
22:15
Aaron was found buried in the cemetery behind a secluded
22:20
area in the back of the property. Even worse was
22:24
that his body was wrapped inside the very sheets he
22:28
slept on in Brandon's house. The speculation had come to
22:32
an end. Brandon Reisner was a cold blooded murderer. Right
22:38
after this discovery, Brandon was placed under arrest for the
22:42
murder of Aaron Davis and transported to the local prison,
22:46
but the cops found his behavior very unconventional.
23:05
Speaker 4: Let them follow their restructed.
23:10
Speaker 5: This is pretty god.
23:12
Speaker 4: If you want well, no, we're talking to you.
23:17
Speaker 5: You got your idea.
23:20
Speaker 14: Yeah.
23:22
Speaker 2: Officers stated that Brandon remained eerily calm while being transported
23:27
