Three Things About This Search Make NO Sense... #truecrimeinvestigation #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

The official search for Trip Brazil has three details that make absolutely no sense to me. First weird thing, the
placement of Trip's belongings. One boot is found near where he ran into the woods. The second boot is found way
further away on the opposite side of the road. Then his hoodie and his charger are found even further south. And
eventually his body is discovered also way south of that road. This path would mean that Trip had to cross a road
without anyone seeing him. And supposedly deputies are out there looking for him. The second weird thing
is that Trip's dad said that he searched the exact area where Trip's hoodie was later found multiple times and he never
saw anything there. Third weird thing, a woman helping search said that deputies warned her husband not to go
near the area of Crow Creek because it had already been searched. Except that's exactly where Trip's body was eventually
found. And according to Trip's family, that area wasn't even supposed to be inside the search grid yet. What stands
out to you the most in this search?

The search for 15-year-old Tripp Brazeale uncovered details that don't add up.

His belongings were found in locations that raise questions about his movements. His father says he searched an area multiple times before items were later discovered there. And according to family members, the area where Tripp was eventually found wasn't even supposed to be part of the active search grid yet.
