The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Good 4-page article here - mostly about Christian. Christian was a biomedical major - good in science and math. Christian and the suspect were friends. The suspect's family knew Christian and have offered to help in the search (I hope they're also trying to convince Bravo to tell where Christian is.)

...Back in the courtroom, Claudia Aguilar faced Bravo and spoke to him directly. She pleaded with him, asking for a clue, anything.
"He knows us," she said. "He knows me."
She asked for an address, anything Bravo remembered about the incident.
"We're not asking for any more," she said. "Only that."
Bravo did not respond, and she left with her family to continue the search....

How frustrating for Aguilar's parents having known the suspect as a friend of their son and watching him lead LE on a wild goose chase looking for the body. Asshole; hope he gives it up soon.
Sure looks premeditated given Bravo's purchases days before Aguilar's disappearance.
