[48][Wiki] Search For Brody.
Wiki with all updates regarding Search For Brody.

This is a 48-Wiki-Stiki. The definition is below.

48-Wiki-Stiki - A sticky created for 48 Hours in Purgatory by Icarus on unFiction. No discussion should be done in the 48-Wiki-Stiki itself due to it being a point of reference. All updates are done by Icarus himself after reviewing the correct discussion topics in the section below.

An e-mail was sent out asking for help in contacting Brody.
searchforbrody.blogspot.com went live.

The Search Begins

Acclaimed filmmaker Brody Hawkins has gone missing. If you're reading this, we need your help finding him.

Brody was co-founder of the film company Skeleton Key Global. He had recently completed work on his latest documentary "48 Hours in Purgatory" - a film that stuck normal people in an isolated room for 48 hours. Facing sleep deprivation, they would be "interviewed" about their past and their secrets in an attempt to make them face their own demons.

During filming, Brody had begun showing signs of mental instability - mood swings, inconsistent memories, alienating himself. As filming progressed the problems got worse. In the days leading up to his disappearance the last few contacts with the world Brody made were vague ramblings and simple pleas for help. However, all attempts to reach him failed.

Currently, his location is unknown. We fear for his safety and his sanity. We need to find him so we can give him the help he needs and solve the mystery of what happened to him.

If you know of the whereabouts of Brody Hawkins, or if you would like to help in the effort to find him, please contact us. The e-mail is SearchForBrodySPLATgmail.com

Updates on the search will be posted here, so be sure to check back often.

www.youtube.com/user/FindBrody went live with a video asking for help.

`` Brody Hawkins, a brilliant filmmaker, has disappeared shortly after completing his latest film "48 Hours in Purgatory." We need your help to find him.

Upload your own youtube videos encouraging others to join the search for Brody. Help us spread the message.

Contact us at SearchForBrodySPLATgmail.com if you have any questions or information on the whereabouts of the troubled filmmaker.

We're counting on you. ``

Blog update - and progress is a message that we send.

``Ok, the youtube video went up yesterday!

The emails have been pouring in from fellow fans of Brody's. They should have found this blog by now if they were paying attention.

I did get a heads up about a possible message from Brody recently! Something about being at the Patriots game tonight. It's no secret he's a big football fan, so I'm a bit cautious about the validity of that. Not much we can do about it at the moment anyway. We simply don't have enough people on the search yet to be able to investigate such claims.

Which is why I am strongly urging everyone reading this to help me spread the word. One youtube video can easily go unnoticed and much of the public isn't even aware that Brody Hawkins is missing! So please, upload your own videos to youtube. The more videos we have, the more people will see and want to help. The first and most important step to finding Brody is public attention. ``

Blog update - A Thousand Words

``

Photos of Brody Hawkins are not as easy to find as I thought, as attested by all the emails I have received asking for a picture of him. Sorting through the virtual stack of e-mails, I came upon a certain message from an anonymous sender. It contained the above photo. I can verify for anyone reading this, that is Brody Hawkins. The photo correlates with some footage I've seen of him.
Anyone making any future videos on youtube for the search are encouraged to use the above photo. Get those videos out there! ``

Blog update - `` "Once you've lost time you can never get it back." ``

``

I've received another anonymous email with another photo of Brody. This one looks a bit more recent and personal. I think someone close to Brody is trying to help me. ``

|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

January 31, 2008 [01.31.2008]
Blog update - `` Location, Location, Location ``

`` This just in at the "Search For Brody" news room, we've received a tip from a reliable source that Brody Hawkins is currently hanging out with the New England Patriots at the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. I gave the resort a call and asked for Brody Hawkins. The receptionist's response was pretty strange. At first, she seemed to know exactly who I was talking about, and then she seemed to "remember" that they don't have a Brody Hawkins at that hotel after all. She didn't sound too sure of herself. I think they are jerking me around.

I'll have to try again later.

Just a heads up to my readers, my e-mail account was recently compromised. Somehow someone was able to hack in. I changed my password, but for safety's sake, any questions or info should be written as comments to these blogs. If someone could get into my e-mail, it has me worried they were impersonating me and then just deleted the evidence. At least the blog has the benefit of the public eye. ``

Blog update - `` Patriots win! ``

`` I wish. What a disappointing game. Even though I probably spent more time scanning the crowd for Brody then actually watching the game. I really need an HDTV. Maybe I should turn this search into a fund raiser?

Nah. ``

[48][Wiki] Search For Brody E-mails.
E-mails with searchforbrody[at]gmail.com.

January 19, 2008 [01.19.2008]
E-mails with Tresbien.

Tresbien - `` Hi Ronnie,

How's your search for Brody going? His myspace indicated that
yesterday was his birthday, and I had hoped he'd check in there for
messages but no luck. He hasn't logged in there since the 16th. By
the way, a friend received the attached photo anonymously. Is it
Brody in the chair? I'll let you know if I get any leads. ``
Search For Brody - `` It's going pretty slow. Why did you call me Ronnie? We need more people to upload some videos, so far there's only a couple others who've done it. I thought there would be more die hard fans of Brody's out there, haha.

No, that doesn't quite look like him, although it's not exactly easy to tell with a bottle in front of his face. I uploaded a picture of him to my blog, have you seen it? ``
Tresbien - `` I replied that I said Ronnie because her pic is on My Photo. And I said I found the joke in bad taste -- major red flag to me that this person is not acting in Brody's best interests. ``
Search For Brody - `` I can't be positive of the date, as I said in the blog, I received the photo anonymously. But I'd say it's accurate.

What little joke? ``
Tresbien - `` Your phrasing about "die hard" fans caught me off guard and didn't
seem appropriate when speaking of someone who's in such serious
condition that it requires a national campaign to find him. Perhaps
it was simply a poor choice of words? If I misinterpreted your words,
please accept my apology. ``
Search For Brody - `` Apology is more than accepted, sweetheart. I know for a fact that Brody has a legion of die hard fans out there. Knowing that, I'm a little disappointed that more of them aren't showing their support and concern for him by helping this national campaign get rolling. My comment was a failed attempt to get a response out of you that would show me just how dedicated his fan base is in finding him. ``
Tresbien - `` Of course, everyone cares about Brody. I think the issue is that his
recent communications have been lucid, and folks aren't entirely sure
he needs to be found. In fact, it seems like he wants time to himself
right now. Is it our right to intrude on that? Can you say someone's
missing if he's maintaining contact with people? ``
Search For Brody - `` Wait, what recent communications? ``

|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

E-mails with Connie.

Search For Brody - `` Yes, I uploaded a picture of him to my blog, I'm sure you've seen it by now.

Michigan, you say? Wow, if all these leads are true, he sure is getting around. Last I heard someone said he was in California. You can see why I'm a bit frustrated. I haven't the resources to check up on any of these leads. Hopefully the search will pick up as more videos are uploaded by fans worried about him. ``
Connie - `` You know...I heard from a few inside sources that you are his nephew..Is that true? ``
Search For Brody - `` I'll make you a deal. You tell me who you heard that from, and I'll give you the answer. ``
Connie - `` I already told you, inside sources.

Lets just say I know people who know people who claim to know you. If you don't wish to support their claims, that is your choice, and yours alone. However, at this point and time it would be wise on your behalf to make allies. ``
Search For Brody - `` I don't know what kind of "inside sources" you are referring to, or who you heard that from, but they're wrong. I am not Brody's nephew. But you sure have my curiosity tweaked, I'd really like to know who would tell you that. ``
Connie - `` Unfortunately, my sources wish to stay anonymous. If you are not his nephew it doesn't matter much anyways, right?

All I can tell you at this point in time is that it seems to me like Brody does not want to be found. If you really cared about him you would leave him be, no?

If there is something you are not telling me, and he is in some kind of trouble I suggest you rethink your priorities. If he needs help in some way you are speaking to the right person. ``
Search For Brody - `` As I've said, shortly before his disappearance, he left messages asking for help. I have no hidden motives, Connie, I am simply very concerned for his well being and his state of mind.

And if your anonymous sources are claiming that I'm Brody's nephew, you should maybe re-evaluate their credibility. Or perhaps you misunderstood what they were saying?

Let me just reiterate my intentions. I fear Brody may be on a self-destructive path. I am hoping an overwhelming response from his fans showing their concern and love for him may bring him back from the edge. If he does not wish to be found, I'm sure he'll find away to stay hidden. But it won't stop me from trying to help him.

If you care about him, then, please, continue helping me ``
Connie - `` You seem to know that other people have received these help messages from Brody, which brings me to believing that there are other people who you know that are looking for him. However, so far the only videos that are on youtube are from yourself, myself, and another close friend of mine. Where are all the videos from the rest of your friends?

There is a strong possibility that I misunderstood what they were saying, which is why I asked you directly instead of blindly following loose ends.

If you want more help from my friends and I, you are going to have to tell us a little bit about you. For example, I don't even know your name. A little mystery is always good, but not when it may jeopardize trust. ``
Search For Brody - `` My name's Bremmy Milton, Connie. Sorry, I am a bit of a loner, and, I'm a little embarrassed to say, I'm a bit shy. I never really intended so much attention to come on me. That's not even me in the video, but a close friend of mine who I convinced to do it while I shot it. I don't have many friends, so I was lucky I had one who was willing, because I don't think I could have brought myself to be on camera. I'd be much too nervous.

I'm doing the best I can manage for Brody. I've never really done anything like this, I'm just a simple fan, no one really important. There's really not much else I can tell you. What else would you want to know? ``

E-mails with Brian.

Brian - `` What is your interest in Brody? Why are so concerned? ``
Brian - `` OK, since you are being rude and not answering me I am going to ask again.

What is your concern with Brody?

Now if you answer my question I will answer one of your to the best of my ability.

Quid Pro Quo. ``
Search For Brody - `` Wow, not very patient are you? I haven't even had a chance to be rude yet, you seemed to be all to eager to demonstrate being rude.

I was just typing out a response to your queries.

Brody is a genius, his work has inspired and enlightened me. I'm a huge fan of his, and shortly before he disappeared he left messages to random people asking for help. Digging around a little bit, I found that his mental state seemed to deteriorate during the filming of 48 Hours in Purgatory, and I'm worried he may be in a self destructive frame of mind.

Um...I don't really have any questions for you. Except, if you are a fellow fan, will you help me find him? ``
Brian - `` No I am not very patient. Character flaw.

I will do what I can. I have had correspondence with him in the past. And I think I may have an idea, but I can't fully trust you just yet to be honest. It seemed strange to me that just before his magum opus is to be released and goes for a little R and R someone is freaking out about finding him. ``
Search For Brody - `` You should work on that patience, pal. I hear it's a virtue.

And the fact that other fans aren't worried is the whole point of this thing. Many aren't aware he went missing and what his state of mind was when he disappeared. That's why I'm trying to get the word out. If you could see past your own suspicions, you'd be aware of that, too. ``
Brian - `` The reason the people that I know aren't worried is because they have been talking to him. Granted sparsely, but he seems to be enjoying some R+R, and just relaxing. From what I have heard his mental state is ok. Prolly not great but ok. I know where he is right now, but I am very reluctant to tell you. Not because I don't trust you, but because I think he just wants to be left alone, and after all he went through filming his last project, I can't say I blame him. ``

E-mails with amandel.

amandel - `` Since most of the fun happens while I'm asleep,I sent my first and,most likely,last email to "Bremmie" stating that I didn't think Brody was really in Arizona but was in trouble. Also wrote that I thought he,Bremmie,was in someone else's debt etc. ``
Search For Brody - `` I can tell you I'm in no one's debt or employ, except maybe to say I'm in debt to Brody, because his films changed my life. Aside from that,I'm not sure what I could tell you that would make you trust that my motives are simple and pure and that my admiration of Brody is my only motivation for finding him and making sure he's alright.

Alas, I feel the only real way to find Brody is if he wants to be found. I mean, maybe somewhere down the line we'll get a tip as to where he is and we'll have a member of the search who's willing and able to look into it and maybe we'll get lucky. But aside from that, the main purpose of this is show an overwhelming support and love for Brody enough so that he decides to show himself. ``

`` 1:13 AM

Why does my past always seem to find me? I can't start over, so I try to forget, but I keep getting reminded. Actually, I couldn't forget anyway? Why would I want to? Short as it was, for a time, everything seemed to be going so well. The future coulda been bright, not that I was really thinking about the future then, anyway, just enjoying the moment. And now it's gone, thanks to a series of unfortunate events. And things don't look like they're gonna get any better any time soon. ``

----------------------------

What the hell?

I wake up to a new post in my blog, and I didn't write it or put it there. What the hell is going on here?

First my e-mail and now my blog. Who is doing this and why?
