Below are links to the final moments of Brandon's life as he chatted in an IRC room. They are provided here in an effort to be completely accurate on what happened.
Warning: These files contain graphic descriptions of drug use and profanity.
Commentary on the logs:
Brandon's domain registration did contain a fake phone number but the address was accurate. Additionally, he gave a description of the cars in the driveway. I have talked with emergency officials who assure me he could have been found if this information was reported.
Also, cell phone numbers can be used by 911 to track a person.
So please don't assume that the statements of the participants in that room are accurate in this regard. They clearly did NOT do all they could....nobody in the room that night made any kind of valiant efforts...they acted as cowards.
All that being said...that does not place blame on them for what happened, but instead I hope it makes everyone think more about the way they react to tough situations.
Additional information: Brandon's handle in the chat is 'ripper.' Pnutbot is not a person, it is an automated chat robot programmed to respond to certain keywords.
