A | A | A

(May 10, 2008)- Police are looking for any leads in the investigation of a hit and run accident that killed one teenager and left another in critical condition late Friday night..

Bree Anne Breichner, 17, of Bruceville-Eddy and 18-year-old James Preston Nolan of Valley Mills were reportedly walking south on the I-35 frontage road after leaving Mayfest just before midnight, when they were hit by a 2007 Dodge truck.

Breichner was pronounced dead at the scene.

Nolan was airlifted to Scott & White Hospital where he is listed in critical condition.

After Bruceville-Eddy police put out a description of the suspect vehicle, a Bell County deputy found a truck matching the description abandoned in Little River Academy.

No arrests have been made.

If you have any information about the hit and run, call 254-757-5222.

yes they did get dna back but they are also check on some more
Posted by: Aunt Sandy Location: China Spring on Aug 21, 2008 at 01:21 AM
I would like to thank you all for your prayers and concerns.The police have not given up on this case.I know that thier are some people out there who wish they would. They have a lot of DNA to check out. Not only the driver and girlfreind but others as well. This does take a little time and we more than willing to wait for it. If this could mean putting some one behind bars for the cowardly crime they committed. The people who we all think that did this if they are married are planning it,Just to let you all know that does not matter. In the state of Texas if a crime is done before marriage the D.A. can still have them testify about what happened on the night of that crime.They still are working very hard on this case. They have just a couple more DNA to test. And they do have a witness and a anoymous letter staying some hard facts about the truck and the passengers in it. They are making sure all thier facts are correct and together. So please just keep us in your prayes.We miss Bree

The police is working very hard on this case if anyone would like to know that really cares!!!!!

No I guess BE got a new donut shop.
Posted by: concerned Location: rogers on Aug 19, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Did they get the DNA results back yet?
Posted by: another Mom Location: Little River on Aug 19, 2008 at 06:42 AM
To Rogers: No, I'm not related to anyone who may be involved because I don't know who is involved at all. I just think, as Aunt posted that the person who should be remembered is Bree B., her friend who was also hit and their families and loved ones. The point is that all the gossip does no one any good, certaintly not the families of the victims.
Posted by: Aunt,Sandy Location: China Spring on Aug 16, 2008 at 11:22 PM
To the MURDERS OR KILLERS what ever you call yourselfs these days. YOU sure can not be called a responsable loveing person. My niece would of been 18 years old this weekend.And THANKS to YOU we got to go her grave and put happy 18th balloons and flowers on it.We didnt get to have the big birthday party for her that we had been planning for so long.The one like her older brothers got to have and her cousins had.YOU took that from us and her.She will never get to expience marriage are having children. You took that from her also. Bree loved kids and they loved her. She was a aunt to 3 kids. Those kids miss her so much. They cry for her. We all miss her greatly. She was so sweet and had smile and a wonderful hardy laugh.You could be in our shoes right now.(But you also think well i am not so what).You and everyone who knows about what you did are guilty. So just stay in your on little world of lies, one day you will pay. Rather here on earth are judgement day you will pay the price.

tsk, tsk, MOM, sounds like you might be related to the murders..so sensitive
Posted by: Another Mom Location: little river on Aug 15, 2008 at 03:29 PM
I'm not upset with anything anyone has said other than the gossip about another kid. Yes, we do have freedom of speech,however that freedom doesn't include, or at least shouldn't include, inflicting more pain, which is what all the gossip is accomplishing. You're right, it does hit close to home but not as close as you implied. You said "all the situations", I assume you are including the little league coach who has recently been in the news. In case you aren't aware, he lived outside of Rogers, not in LR. That's another situation that will probably cause innocent people more pain than they deserve. But the point is like local wrote, it doesn't really matter where they are from. My point, silly though it may be, is that the most innocent victim, Bree B.,seems to be forgotten in all the gossip about other people and their lives. The guilty will pay for this, the innocent shouldn't.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Rogers on Aug 15, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Hate to say it "Somewhere in Tx" but you are making yourself and Rogers look pretty stupid. And yes we have freedom of speech but atleast make sense and think before you speak...Thats always helpful!
Posted by: somewhere in Tx Location: rogers on Aug 15, 2008 at 09:40 AM
To Another Mom, sounds like I hit a nerve with you, no need to get so hateful and snippy, unless being in LR makes all the situations a "little to close to home." So settle down "MOM." This is a country where freedom of speech is allowed even if you dont like it. And as far as the stock market, well I would suggest that you watch it, its not that difficult, and price of gas? Well if you havent noticed it has gone down, by the way it is .92 cents higher than last year. Oh and a thought, dont get yourself so upset over what I've said, it makes you look, well, really silly. have a good day, hon.
Posted by: local on Aug 15, 2008 at 07:52 AM
Does it really matter where they are from but that they committed a crime. They ran over a human being and killed them and drove off. Let's just kkep praying they come foward before they go after them. It is hurting both families involved.
Posted by: Another Mom Location: Little River on Aug 13, 2008 at 08:15 PM
To Somewhere in Tx., Location: Rogers: First of all you don't wander, you wonder. You also are sickened, not sick end. If you live in Rogers you know little towns are just like cities, the only difference is that everybody knows everyone's business or thinks they do. Maybe you can also tell us all what the stock market will do and how much the price of gas will be next year. Now that would be helpful.
Posted by: somewhere in tx Location: rogers on Aug 12, 2008 at 06:04 PM
To anonymous, thanks for all the facts now I dont have to wander about the little towns you gave me enough info that im sickend.

In the Friday paper it said they would have the DNA back in 2 weeks.
Posted by: concernedcitizen Location: rogers on Aug 11, 2008 at 03:15 PM
I keep following this story. I thought that perhaps it was going to go into a cold case type of situation. I hadn't heard about dna evidence. It seems they would have had that by now.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Temple on Aug 11, 2008 at 03:01 PM
I think we should just pray they get caught for the families involved it really doesn't matter where they are from.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: Rogers on Aug 11, 2008 at 11:58 AM
How can you blame Academy for the citizens that live there. I live in Rogers also and there are alot that happens here that I'm sure not proud of. What about the SWAT team that has visited here quite a bit lately due to the drugs in our town. AND considering "chester the molester" and one of the accused has recently lived in Rogers looks like we have the same sick celebrities. Looks like you need to review your facts before you run your mouth!!
Posted by: somewhere n tx Location: rogers on Aug 11, 2008 at 08:38 AM
They can catch 'Chester the Molester" but they can't catch the two that murdered and injured the two kids from BE? Looks like Little River Academy has some sick celebrities. LET"S GET THEM CAUGHT-CONVICTED-SENTENCED and throw the key away!
Posted by: local on Aug 8, 2008 at 03:27 PM
by the article in the paper maybe they are getting closer or is the BE police smoothing htings over. it is the same stuff just leaving a little hope of an end.
Posted by: another Mom Location: Little River on Aug 8, 2008 at 02:51 PM
This was a terrible tragedy that robbed a young girl of her life and the future she should have enjoyed. However; that doesn't make it right for every one to be judgmental without knowing all the facts. None of us are aware of all the facts. Let's try to leave the gossip alone and let our judicial system do it's job. Gossiping about other kids does a diservice to everyone. As in most crimes, there are many innocent victims, and of course, Bree B. was the most innocent victim. I pray for God's Grace to help ease everyone's pain and for a swift end to this for all the families involved.
Posted by: me Location: here on Aug 4, 2008 at 04:37 PM
seems like you know her too. Her whole family would be in a up roar. Someone would be paying. I also heard the party has not stopped even her oldest in out and about at 17 years of age. I would hope that would have stopped.
Posted by: ME on Aug 3, 2008 at 12:35 PM
I am really am intrested to find out or not if the suspects are who did it, because if it is I know for a fact that one of them in particular would be raising all sorts of hell if had happened to one of her kids!! It is ridiculous how long it is taking for them to convict somebody!! We always knew her drinking would would catch up to her one day, it's just a shame that it had to cost someone their life, and another family a great deal of heartache. To the family who lost their daughter I am truly sorry for the loss of your daughter, and just know I hope they can convict someone soon!! My paryers are with your family.

We had our family reunion this past weekend it was not the same without her .Her birthday is in 15 days and it is killing all of us.We contact the police department on a daily basis.Belive me when i tell yall they know that we are tired of waiting for justice but all we can do is wait.Our family is very far from being able to cope with the loss of our little sister.When the gutless coward or cowards are brought to justice only then will we be able to begin the healing process.Until then we wait,on a daily basis ,through the pain and the rage and the dissapointment of what all has conspired.To the person or persons responsible for my sisters death,i realy hope your heart is being torn apart with guilt you deserve every sleepless night you get.To the people that continue to pray for and support or family thank you very much.God bless our friends who have helped tremendessley in the last 2 months and godd bless or supporters again thank you.

Well this is the first we have heard of a witness. I hope your facts are right but just do not understand if they have all this "stuff" what are they waiting on?
Posted by: somewhere Location: texas on Jul 28, 2008 at 10:16 PM
I just tought I would let you all in on something. If a crime happens before a marriage, The distric attorney can still call on each of them to testify. By people saying they cant testify against each other is wrong. That was true at one time. They have new laws now. So if their DNA comes back on them. They each can be called to testify by the D.A. are who ever it is in the court room. That is representing the parents of the teenagers.So if they think the marriage will keep this from happening they are wrong. And the case is still being investgated and they do have a wittness. They are just making sure all their i,s are dotted and their t,s are crossed. I still keep the family of all in my prayers. And for the sake of the parents of the teens I hope justice will be served.
Posted by: local Location: local on Jul 28, 2008 at 10:38 AM
to somewhere in rogers- I am with you on that. But now that they are getting married-yes look in Sunday's paper the license have bee filed and issued. Now that makes it even harded since that do not have to go against each other. Do they know the meaning of marrying for love? I hope the law feels good about this.
Posted by: somewhere in Rogers Location: Rogers on Jul 26, 2008 at 09:21 AM
Why is it that they can catch convict and sentence a 26 year old to 30 years for his murder in a DWI, but that do it with the two that killed the young girl and injured the young man? See why I have no faith in this wonderful system we have? Its pathetic
Posted by: local Location: home on Jul 25, 2008 at 04:16 PM
It's that true. Makes me ill to know this people get up every morning and go to work and still continue about their daily lives while nothing seems to be getting done. First we were waiting on the crime lab now what? Do they really have anything to go. I could not sleep at night if I knew I had this hanging over my head to solve. All is well in paradise for the couple. They get to enjoy their freedom and family...good luck to them.
Posted by: somewhere in Rogers Location: Rogers on Jul 25, 2008 at 12:10 PM
I have lost my faith in the legal system! I think its shallow and only people with powertrips holding a badge. Anyone else it would have been solved sentenced and key thrown away. what happened to this system? I guess if you have money and friends in "low" places you can get away with murder. God help everyone. Looks like in "any" case we all can "free-for-all" with no reporcussion. To me these people are as low as pediphiles, but at least pediphiles get caught!
Posted by: ME Location: A TOWN on Jul 24, 2008 at 01:13 PM
I AGREE WITH LOCAL. ITS LIKE IT HAPPENED & WE JUST KEEP ON WITH OUR LIVES WHEN SOMEONE OUT THERE KNOWS SOMETHING. HAD IT HAPPENED TO THE KILLERS THEY WOULD WANT JUSTICE FOR SURE. IDK HOW YOU COULD LIVE WITH THIS DAY IN AND DAY OUT EVENTUALLY YOU WOULD CRACK AT LEAST ANY DECENT HUMAN BEING WOULD. I STILL PRAY FOR ALL INVOLVED AS WELL.
Posted by: local Location: local on Jul 23, 2008 at 10:59 AM
Looks like you have to be from West before anything happens to you for drunk driving.If I were the family I would be at the police department everyday all day until something happenend. It is sad they can't solve this. What is the real hold up. We have gone on with our everyday lives as always.There is someone out there that knows more than they are saying. Hiddng the truth is just as wrong as the act itself.
Posted by: ?question? Location: moody on Jul 23, 2008 at 05:47 AM
why haven't we heard anything lately about the updates in this case?
Posted by: concerned Location: temple on Jul 17, 2008 at 11:51 AM
It seems that if they had a case they would have made an arrest. I would hate for someone to get away with this crime. I have always thought the truth would come out and we would know what happened, but I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever know who was driving that truck. I don't think anyone will come forward if they think there is a chance they will escape criminal prosecution. I'm not justifying that, but they may think they are doing the right thing for thier children or families. I really don't know. I just want to think the best of people. I would think it would torment their minds and living with it would be impossible. It would be little solace to the family that lost a child to never know. I'm glad that James is doing better and moving on. I know it will be a long hard process. You all have my prayers.

i will be glad when they catch who did this.you need to confess. i would think you would fill bad.
Posted by: local Location: local on Jul 15, 2008 at 07:58 AM
Sounds like the owner is saying "you didn't see me so prove it"Is he bragging about it? He better hope NO one saw him/her. This is not a game or just hitting an animal or something.
Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 14, 2008 at 01:54 PM
We were told thru someone the owner works with that they are confident that since there are no eye-witnesses, that they dont have anything to worry about. They best not believe that for a minute. Prisons are full of criminals who never had a eyewitness. Wont be long now...Heard they are having a wedding in a couple of weeks. What a way to start a marriage...
Posted by: just some info. Location: Texas on Jul 8, 2008 at 01:45 PM
James is doing fine he is trying to move on with his life now. Im sure he will always miss his girl, but he is young and needs to start rebuilding.As for the people who did this to the families your day is coming very soon , I feel sorry for your family it is plain to see you care nothing about them cowards.
Posted by: concerned Location: texas on Jul 8, 2008 at 12:12 PM
I know that the owner of the truck and his girlfriend was picked up for DNA testing. They WOULD NOT come in on thier own. So they had to be picked up for the test. And pretty soon everyone will find out if it was them are not.I feel like if it is not them, then why wait and have be picked up for the test. Unless you have something to hide. Hmmm maybe that is why they lawyered up. Maybe justice will come soon. My prayers to all who is involved. And I hope James the young boy continues to recover.
Posted by: central Location: texas on Jul 7, 2008 at 11:45 PM
I do think we all will find out soon enough. And yes it is still being investigated. I hear that the dna is back now and they just have to match it up. So I pray for all who is involved in this case. For those who lost a loved one. And for those who might have a loved one locked up for awhile. I do hope justice will be served for all, who have tryed to hide what has happened to this child. I would think whom ever did this they sure would not want this to happen to thier family. I would hope they would like to see justice done. Again my prayers are with you all.
Posted by: concerned Location: temple on Jul 7, 2008 at 07:26 PM
I guess this is just old news now. I wonder if we will ever know what really happened? I'm sure to the family it is still fresh and painful. My prayers.
Posted by: To: am I the only one Location: From Academy resident on Jul 5, 2008 at 01:10 PM
You are the only one who left a totally ignorant comment. The child molester doesn't live in Little River. The hit and run isn't investigated by this town, but Bruceville-Eddy. Yes there are bad people in Little River, just like everywhere else. How do you come to the conclusion that the town is protecting it's citizen's from the law? And as far as not wanting you to raise your family here..where do you live? Are you really that dumb to think that your town doesn't have any crime? These pedophiles are EVERYWHERE. For the sake of your children, if you have any, EDUCATE yourself.
Posted by: to: am i the only one on Jul 5, 2008 at 09:34 AM
the child molester lived in rogers and came to academy and molested the kids here and if he hadn't ever been caught how would anyone know that. As far as the other I'm not sure about.
Posted by: Am I the Only One on Jul 4, 2008 at 12:45 PM
A known child molester and a couple who ran down and killed a teenaged girl and severely injured another teen. WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE LIVE IN LITTLE RIVER ACADEMY??? Doesn't sound like any place I would want to live or raise my children. Maybe the town should stop protecting their residences and work on making their town a more decent place to live.
Posted by: Anonymous Location: texas on Jul 3, 2008 at 07:17 PM
I do belive who this will be caught.its just a matter of time.
Posted by: concerned Location: central tex on Jul 2, 2008 at 10:55 PM
I don't think anyone knows except the person that was driving that truck and whoever was with that person. I'm assuming more than one person was in the truck. If you look at the picture of the truck, it looks like they would have had to drive it almost standing up to see over the crumpled hood. If they can't put someone behind the wheel, then they can't make an arrest. I don't believe that they will come forward either. I do hope the truth will come out in the end. I know I couldn't live with that on my conscience. We do have to face our Maker one day.
Posted by: Mother of a Daughter and 2 Son on Jul 2, 2008 at 01:17 PM
I definitely agree with the last two comments....the owner and his girlfriend are not standup people. They are the people that just go through life never taking responsibility for their actions. They really do not care about anyone other than themselves. They are definitely not christians no matter what they say for if they were they would know what the right thing to do would be. I also agree that their relationship is doomed....no relationship could make it based on the foundation of lies theirs is based on. The police cannot arrest them because they think they did it. There has to be evidence and it takes time for the DPS lab to process that evidence. I hope and pray for Bree's families sake that the evidence points to them and they get arrested....if not then chances are the truth will come out as the longer things go on the more apt people are to brag about not getting caught. To anyone who knows what happened, please tell the police and quit protecting your friends
Posted by: anonymous Location: home on Jul 2, 2008 at 12:37 PM
It looks like they think they may have gotten away with the perfect crime but then they may. It is unbelievable that with all the evidence they say they have and the crime lab being here what is missing? They are not going to sign on the dotted line. You can only hope things will catch up with them and what goes around comes around later on. I wonder what their families think in the back of thier minds about right or wrong. What is is teaching others? It is ok to drink and drive and even be involed in an accident just lie......
Posted by: Anonymous on Jul 2, 2008 at 10:54 AM
These people are not gonna be the stand up and take their punishment type. Everyone that has posted on here will need to understand and realize that it will not happen. They are going to deny what happened to the bitter end, hoping that the law does not have enough evidence to get a conviction. As to how they can live with themselves? Good question, but they are fighting for their freedom and I suppose they can somehow justify their actions based on that. Its so wrong, and hopefully justice will be served.

I am the stepfather of Bree. First of all I would like to thank everyone for there thoughts and prayers during our difficult time right now.Bree was a one of a kind young lady. She made us laugh,cry,mad,and crazy. That was the way she was. She had her own way of doing things.She was compasionate also. When my father passed away in 2000, one of the first things she said to me was Im sorry, what can I do to help you. I will never ever forget that. I might have not shown it very much, but I really loved that girl. Now that someone has taken her away from us,I have an empty spot in my heart that will not be filled untill we are reunited in heaven. I am proud to have helped raise Bree for 13 and a half years,and to not call her my stepdaughter, but to call her my DAUGHTER. As for James, I believe he would have made a good husband to Bree. Get well soon. To the driver of the truck, have some remorse and turn your self in and take the punnishment, like a Man or Woman that you should be .

Posted by: No Neck Location: Waco, Tx on Jun 26, 2008 at 03:37 PM
Has anyone other than the families thought what it feels like to lose someone so dear? I am sure there are a few that have lost a member of their family. I have and so has my wife( hers was a child 6 months old to SIDS). The pain never goes away, it just becomes more like a dull ache. And nothing you hear or think will bring that person back. So put yourself in any one of the families shoes and walk that MILE...........maybe then you can say I KNOW how they all feel. I knew Bree and her family pretty well and they are stand up kinda folks and would do any thing for anyone. Still they are that way. Our God is very loving and holdes them all in his hands. I try to come here everyday so if you want make a comment back to me! Thanks.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who sent out prayers to our family and to James and his family. This a very hard time for all of us. We miss Bree very much.I would also like to say that no the police have not given up they are very close . I would just like to know how someone can sleep at night after doing what they did to our families. For those who really care James is doing much better. Thank you again for all the prayers.

I know the police have not given up in fact the time is very near they are just taken care of some last min. details .
Posted by: observer Location: texas on Jun 25, 2008 at 11:43 AM
I saw....just what I said. 4 police cars at his house. I was responding to a poster wondering if the police have given up. And the presence of the police indicates that they haven't. That was all I was saying, nothing more. But you sure are defensive aren't you???? BTW if you see your spouses car in someone's driveway, he probably is. lol
Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 25, 2008 at 10:14 AM
Does Bruceville even have 2 cars?? Any how just because they were there doesn't mean anything, it was his vehicle I would assume they would need to speak with them. Did you see him or her in cuffs? NO, so I guess it doesn't matter. That is like saying I seen my spouses car in your drive way so you are sleeping with them???

to another anonymous Texas at 08:00 am: I do not believe they law has given up. There were 2 county and 2 bruceville eddy police cars decending on his house just last week. Oh, and to the friend or relative in Rogers: Don't even bother telling me I don't know what I am talking about. I SAW IT
Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 25, 2008 at 09:19 AM
More like Barney Fife, I think Bruceville is so desperate to solve this case so they can get everyone off of their back they will blame anyone. That's pretty bad when they believe rumors or even worst, starting & spreading the rumors.
Posted by: Another Anonymous Location: Texas on Jun 25, 2008 at 08:00 AM
time together does not matter since they have already been living together and work for the same company. They are seen on a regular bases going to lunch together. What does any of this matter. Seems the law may have given up or slacked.
Posted by: Another Anonymous Location: Texas on Jun 25, 2008 at 06:54 AM
Ok first it does not matter if they are married or not the hit and run happened befor they were married so it makes no difference. Maybe they just want some time together married before they go away for killing this child. IF IN FACT THEY REALLY DID IT.!!
Posted by: anonymous w Location: tx on Jun 24, 2008 at 08:03 PM
I can't believe they still haven't found out anything yet, they must be using the Keystone Cops to investigate this tragic event!!!!!
Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 23, 2008 at 09:11 PM
Exactly where did you get your information?? Maybe you should lookup the public marriage records, I can guarantee you will not find theirs on file because it isn't true. They did plan to get married by the JP quite a while ago but instead are planning a wedding at the end of the year. I guess their marriage is not so doomed afterall. I do pray for all of the families involved and are as anxious as anyone for justice to be served.
Posted by: My Last Post Location: Bruceville on Jun 23, 2008 at 03:11 PM
Let me just recap the way I see things...First off the owners says is truck was stolen but the theives then drove it to were he was drinking and partying???? Then the theives left in the stolen truck from the party they same time he left, again????? THEN, the truck broken or was abandon less than 1/2 mile from his house, WOW HOW RANDOM CAN THAT BE,oh yeah and there was no sign of forced entry and a key was used to start the truck. Now instead of helping the police prove that he is innocent, he and his girlfriend lawyer up and instead of having the big family wedding as planned they quickly get married at the JP so that spousal prviledge attaches and they cannot testify against each other. At this point let me inject that this marriage is domed considering the foundation it is based on. And as far as suing for slander what is being said would have to be false and they would have to prove that what was said is false and since they cannot prove it, they cannot sue. Do they look guilty,YES!

Can't we all get along in here. As a vetern I don't play well with others but I can still hear what other peeps say. I may not like it but the 1st amendmant says it all "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" If you can read this thank a teacher, if you can read this in Engilsh thank a vetern. Try to think the we agree to disagree. Much ezer and better on the thead. The family to Breezy have become a closer and more loving family, that still feels the loss of a sister, daughter, friend, and a smile when one was needed most by someone in the family. I pray and I hope everyone does for the families of these 2 kids and up holds their soul in Gods glory. Thanks to all that have posted here I may not agree but I will read it and accept it.

BB -I think you are right. I misinterpreded your comment. I should have kept my mouth shut. I think I'm done here. This isn't helping the families any.
Posted by: BB Location: bosque county on Jun 20, 2008 at 03:26 PM
ok first of all lets get one thing straight "concerned mom", since you're obviously so caught up in picking apart and over-analyzing peoples comments on here then why dont you re-read it again. i never said i "hope someone elses child gets killed or some other tragic event happens". what i said is that i hope the person who did this and just left the scene without rendering aid will feel the kind of pain that this poor family is feeling over the loss of their child. i wouldnt wish death on anyone because nobody deserves to die like this no matter how good or bad of a person people think they are. so why dont you take your "holier-than-though" gig somewhere else because you arent the only person who feels sympathy for this family. maybe i worded my comment wrong, but i do still uphold my statement on the fact that suddenly somthing "tragic happens and everything is about you". so thanks for your opinion on my opinion but i really could care less.
Posted by: concernedmom Location: temple on Jun 20, 2008 at 07:18 AM
Lets see...BB First you talk about praying for the family and then you talk about hoping somebody else's child gets killed or some other "tragic" event happens so they can feel the "same kind of pain". Something is definitely wrong with that kind of thinking. I do think that "what goes around, comes around". I don't think for a minute that whoever did this will get away with it even if they are not prosecuted, but I wouldn't take any joy in their pain or wish that something terrible happens to them or their loved ones. People have said some rude things, but I think they will have to answer for them without my suggesting to the Almighty how to go about it. My heart goes out to BOTH these families, especially the mother and family that lost a precious child, the young man that is recovering and will have to live with this for his entire life, and all the other children/young people that are affected. Blessings and Peace.
Posted by: BB Location: bosque county on Jun 20, 2008 at 02:03 AM
some of you idiots are rediculous. i pray the family is doing ok. i also pray that some of the people on here who have posted rude comments have to feel this kind of pain sometime in their lives. something tragic happens and suddenly its all about yourself and not about the people this happened to. pathetic.

Companies can be sued for doing things like that. People have the right to continue working at thier jobs and living their lives while under suspicion of committing a crime. Nothing has been proven. If he is innocent the company would have to pay alot of money for jumping the gun. While I understand you want justice and perhaps you don't like the accused and believe him to be guilty or not a nice person, you will have to wait for the charges to be proven before any punitive action can be taken.
Posted by: wondering Location: temple on Jun 19, 2008 at 12:04 AM
What is really sad is the company that this man works for, should ask him to take a leave till this is cleared up because with him behind a 18 wheeler he could and i am sure will hurt more people as long as he is behind a wheel.He should turn himself in and put an end to all of this at least for the family he has ruined and the man that loved this girl.I pray the police do something and they do it soon before he does do this to someones family again.

Just because they got a lawyer doesn't mean they are guilty - it just means they are going to need legal assistance in sueing all you people for slander.
Posted by: Wondering Location: Texas on Jun 17, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I guess you are right it could of been a man or a woman. I do know they both have lawyered up now. That is the the owner of the truck and his girlfriend. Well it just makes one think now. With all the talk of it could of been a woman well maybe. Are is just the that the girlfriend was there in the truck also.If she was she is just as guilty as the driver. And if she was driving and the owner was the passenger he is guilty. Could this be why they lawyered-up(maybe so)I think if they were not guilty, they would have no reason for a lawyer now would they. Just kinda makes you stop and think about it all. But which ever the case maybe I am still praying for Bree,s family. And I pray that justice will be served one day sooner are later.

To wondering. How do you know that it was a man who hit these teens? There are just as many women out there who would hide this as there are men. Unfortunately being a mother only makes you act more irrationally when faced with lose of freedom. Think about it. I dont think it was a man at all.

I don't know what to think about this anymore. I am just praying for all concerned. I wouldn't want to be on the jury if this ever went to court. It would be hard to sort out the truth.
Posted by: To Everyone on Jun 16, 2008 at 09:53 AM
Why have the police not made an arrest....could it be that they are being thorough to make sure once this goes to trial they will get a conviction. Sometimes arrests in situations like this do not happen as fast as a lot of people would like, but some times slower is better. Police cannot arrest someone on purely circumstantial evidence they have to build a case based on fact and evidence. As for the person who did this you will get arrested and put in jail for a lot longer time than if you had just stopped that night and done the responsible thing. The owner of the truck and his girlfriend or soon to be wife are doing a lot of things that make then appear guilty, probably because they are.... but to everyone stop speculating and let the police do their work and just be concerned with the families and their tragic losses.
Posted by: wondering Location: texas on Jun 16, 2008 at 01:12 AM
I am just wondering if the person/s are starting to have any guilt. It has been over a month now. And I have not heard of an arrest yet. You think that person/s can sleep good at night? Knowing they have killed someone. And they dont have any guts to turn themselves in. Maybe they are thinking they might spend the rest of thier lives in jail. They way I look at that is, oh well YOU STILL have your LIFE. What a BIG COWARD you are. And what if it happens to your child is still ok to run from the law. And be a COWARD as you have been. Justice will be done sooner are later.I hope dont have to many bad dreams of the girl you KILLED. Are the boy you injured.

I apologize for the behavior of coldblooded adults honey. You focus on getting better and trust that the person who did this will be brought to justice. I know that the police have a pretty good idea of who it was. Blessings to you and your family. May your body and your heart heal...

I guess you would be pretty upset too if someone was accusing your family or friends of murder. This is not something that people take lightly. This is a serious issue and there are peoples lives at stake. Remember that if you are heard spreading rumors about this you can be charged for slander and that came from the Bruceville Eddy Police Dept so you might watch was you say and who you say it in front of.

I would like to thank you all for your kind words. And most of all your prayers for our family. We have had our first Holiday without Bree. And rolling up on the second one. I can say they will never be the same again at my house. Bree was here alot speacially on every Holiday. The summers we spent time playing Volleyball or swimming. Then when it got to late for that, we went right in to playing games. We would all see how many people we could get around the kithcen table. She loved all that and so did we. She is missed by us all so much.Next month is our camping family reuion. I think Bree was the life of the family on our side. It makes it hard for us knowing she will not be there. She loved them the most. Because if you knew Bree you knew she loved little kids. And they loved her,they were drawn to her. That will be the hardest part on all of us.Not seeing her smiling face thier with us.I think I can speak for us all. She is a great loss to our family. Please keep praying. Thank You

As much as i would like to meet the person or persons who viciously ran down my sister i would much rather see the person or persons go to prison.I would rather see justice than revenge ,that is what our sister would have wanted .I appreciate the jesture to whomever wrote that but my sister would not want us to ruin or own lives.This person will get what is coming to him or her.I have faith in that .JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED .Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers.On the other hand ,i would like to meet the person face to face and look into his eyes to see if he does have any knid of remorse .If you knew me you would understand.And for the accused who are innocent,i am sorry for what you are having to go through,but you will have your day when your names are cleared and the respnsible party comes forth,and for that person or pesons when that day comes and you are found guilty for the homocide of my sister ,I have no remorse or sympathy for you.thak you all again for your praye.

As the father-in-law of one of Bree's brothers and I like to think friend to all of them I have seen their pain from the moment that they got the call, about Bree. I am not here to condem anyone just to say my 2 cents.......1st if you did this or saw this, or you were involved in this STAND UP and say what you know is right!!! 2nd if where your little girl on that hot pavement what would you want? Think hard before you say anything! 3rd I ask every one to take 60 seconds after reading anything on this posting and say a pray for the familys that have lost a loved one, or have seen a loved one hurt so badly they cry when they see him, or the family of the driver. They need prays too. And pray for the truth to come to light so all of the differant familys can rest at last. God Bless you and God Bless America.

Posted by: speculator on Jun 7, 2008 at 04:31 PM
IF the driver is the owner, I sure hope they arrest him soon. It makes me sick seeing him run around on his motorcycle almost daily, like he doesnt have a care in the world. And if he isn't the driver, he sure as heck knows who is. And that makes him guilty also for lying.
Posted by: City Councilman Location: Bruceville-Eddy on Jun 6, 2008 at 07:08 PM
To everyone...the police department is close is making an arrest and not only will the driver go to jail so will the passenger who failed first of all to come forward and second of all when questioned did not tell the truth. There are many others from Rogers and Academy that were questions....some told the truth by many have been found to be lying and covering for the driver. Those people will also have to face their day in court as they will be charged with making false statements and interfering in an investigation. To Bree's family I am so sorry for this horrible event and I pray for God to comfort you during this terrible time. I also will keep the driver of the truck and passenger's teenaged sons and other children in my prayers as they will soon be without parents.

To the localmom form rogers;I just wonder if everyone will be so proud and grateful if Greg might be guilty.Some people only tell what they want to tell. That may be the case here, That they are ashamed of what they have done. And they think they will never get caught as long as they keep thier mouth shut.Some people start to believe thier on lies after a while. One thing you are right on is the trueth will come out. And if it doesnt they just might may be ate up with GUILT. One more thing to think about, if a drunk hit your child and said oh my truck was stolen or I was not driven it. How would you feel. Would you say oh well they still have their kids and I am grateful for that. Are would you be some what hurt by the excuses that they are handing out. Trust me your family is being prayed for. And so are the familes that that the BIG LOSS of a child. And the boys family that was injured as well.
Posted by: localmom Location: rogers on Jun 5, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Just because folks know who is being accused doesn't mean they have information they are withholding. I do know several that have cooperated fully with the police. All they can tell them is what they know and that isn't much for the most part. There are innocents in both families suffering. I know there is no consolation for the loss of a child and my prayers go out to the family that lost theirs. We love our young people too, and it hurts to see them going through this, but we still have them with us and for that we are blessed and grateful. The truth will come out soon, I believe that it will.

to anonymous from rogers,the only familys suffering is mine that lost bree and james family,and all our friends too.the only other person that could be suffering is the driver of the truck beacause he or she whatever the case may be is having to live with the fact that he or she has killed a young child being my sister and badly injured almost killing another.but since apparently you know this other family is suffering that perhaps you have an idea as to who hit my sister and her fiance if that is the case i urge you to contact the texas dapartment of public safety or the bruceville eddy police department thank you and to all the people sening your prayes from the family thank you very much

When talking about Other Families that are suffering just who but the victim's family is suffering. I would hope there are not people who know what happened and are covering up for the driver because that is making them as guilty as the driver. I could not sleep knowing I had that kind of a secret not being able to tell anyone but like many have said it will come out sooner or later and hopefully the right person or persons will pay.

What happened in this country "Guilty until proven Innocent? So far all I read is that everyone is "the Judge and the Jury." No one knows what happened except the people or individual that was driving. I am NOT defending the driver(s). This is about all the "hearsay" that is going on. Why dont we stop trying to play CSI and let the professionals do thier job, and lets come together as families and support the needs of these family of the injured young man, and the family that lost thier little girl. We all have become so obsessed with the "who dunnit" aspect, that we forget the tremendous loss that is happening right now and will always be. Lets "Give Love" and let God be the judge in the end.

First of all I would like to thank everyone who has sent us their love ,support and most of all prayers. Second of all I would like to set something straight. Bree was not preg. James is doing very well he is walking much better ,but misses Bree very much. The last thing is that My daughter and her boyfreind was walking on the SIDE of the road her time of death was 10:28 not midnight. The driver of the truck hit them and Killed my daughter .I dont understand how the driver could just leave her that way. He does not deserve to be behind the wheel of a truck, car or anything. I never want anyone to go thru the pain I am going thru now . PLEASE do the right thing and turn yourself in and dont get behind the wheel and hurt someone else PLEASE !!

Posted by: anonymous Location: temple on Jun 5, 2008 at 01:46 AM
I have never meet the man of this truck but everyone I have talked with says he would do something like this crime.He is a man without a heart to kill a child and never think about it.I know where this man works and I would never feel safe with him driving a 18 wheeler.He should take a leave until this is all cleared up.I just wish he would come forth and tell every thing he really knows about this crime.He needs to quit telling all the lies and be a man and own up to what he has done,he has killed a child who will never see a wedding or a birth of a child,this child is in the ground and he is walking the street like he has done nothing wrong.Be a man and just tell the truth so these families can have so peace.
Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 4, 2008 at 04:55 PM
Wow anonymous-You should be a detective on this case. We would already have the driver on Death Row. You even investigated the crime scene. Problem is alot of your evidence that you have collected is a bunch of lies and rumors. Like the fact that he is a volunteer firefighter, that was over 10 years ago. Just because everyone you have talked to that knows him beleives he did it doesn't mean anything. Isn't it obvious that they don't have enough evidence to charge anyone. You will never get the truth out of this because everyone runs their mouth so much and adds to the story everytime it is brought up. I know this is a place to put your comments but you should atleast have your story straight before you go posting it to 100's of people. I know the owner of the vehicle drinks but who doesn't, can you honestly say you have never drank before? Just because he is loud and obnoxious doesn't mean he is capable of murder.

Come on yall. Let's face it this is not a waron personal options but the truth. If you know the truth you need to come foward. You are just as guilty as the driver if you don't. He will have time to pay when the truth does come out let's just hope he does not bring others down with him

To localmom: you really got me with that spelling thing!! Its my typing thats not so good, not my spelling skills. We'll just see what happens won't we. I think the only one leading the lynch mob is the driver of the truck. Thinking he can run over 2 people in cold blood and never slowdown or stop to render aid because of his own selfish tendencies. I drove right by the spot it happened at and there are no skid marks on the road anywhere. I don't need to lead a lynch mob to bring him down because he is doing it himself. We'll just see what happens won't we.
Posted by: localmom on Jun 4, 2008 at 11:24 AM
To Anonymous that can't spell. Just because you don't like him doesn't make him guilty. You don't know who was driving the truck. You just think you know. If anyone knew who was driving there would have been an arrest. That is why we have a legal system instead of you leading a lynch mob.
Posted by: Does it Matter Location: Rogers on Jun 4, 2008 at 11:03 AM
For someone who knows him so well you should know that he hasn't been apart of the volunteer fire department for over 10 years. Just another rumor to go around.
Posted by: anomyous on Jun 4, 2008 at 10:25 AM
Folks we all know the owner of the truck was also the driver of the truck. Even before I found out who the owner of the truck was I kept thinking this and now that I know who the owner of the truck is I KNOW him!!! I know what kind of person he is and I say HE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK. I know many people that know him and everyone of them says he is guilty. He is also a volunteer fireman, want him coming to your house to put out a fire? I don't think so. He might run YOU over in the process. This sorry excuse for a human being is just worried about himself because he knew that if he stopped he would get a DWI and then he would lose his truck driving job and go to prison. Bet he wasn't banking on the license plate falling off at the scene, was he? Imagine this kind of a person behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler driving down the interstate, its a scary thought. What he doesn't realize is he will be convicted of this and then it will be 100 times worse because he tried to cover it all up.
Posted by: localmom on Jun 4, 2008 at 09:23 AM
I think they are investigating and trying to make a case. If there was anything to report I know it would have been on the news. They can't put a driver behind the wheel of the truck. We have to wait for the truth to come out. It always does in the end.

Has anyone an update on this tragedy? My prayers are with the kids families. This was preventable. Dont we teach our kids Think before you Drink, Friends dont let friends drive drunk?etc... These perp's need to be caught! To be a Human Being is compassionate, caring, and helpful. These people are not human. Not stopping and aiding injured people? They probably would have stopped if it was a deer, or dog. Or if they had a collission with another vehicle and exchange insurance. Where is the humanity in them? We need to come together as a whole community and love our children and raise them with guidance and love, for we dont have them long. As for the driver(s), I hope that you NEVER have a loved one taken from you in this manner. You need to be caught and prosecuted. We as a community, as parents, need to support the families of these victims and pray for strength among them. May God wrap his loving arms around both families. God is the final judge in this unforgivable tragedy!

Ok how long has this gone on now?? All of the rumors are really getting old. Don't you think that if the driver is so guilty he would be arrested?? There is obviously other evidence that is keeping the driver from being charged otherwise he would be locked up. What does "alcohol related" domestic disturbances have to do with a hit and run?? Absolutely nothing.. You people on here are so caught up in the rumors that even if we all did know the truth you wouldn't believe it. If the owner of the truck didn't do it you all are going to have alot of apologies to say.

I'm just thinking here. Someone said on here that the owner of the truck was in Eddy on his girlfriends motorcycle that night. Soooo, whoever "stole" his truck dicided to take it there, where the owner is, at the same time? Pretty gutsy, I'd say. And than the "thief" takes the truck back to the owner's house. (well he tried, it didn't quite make it there). Maybe the owner wouldn't realize that it was all smashed up???? I also heard, and I don't know if it's true, that there has been several domestic disturbances at the owners residence. And they were ALCOHOL RELATED. Conclusion: There is no thief. Only a guy telling a whole lot of lies.

Thak you for your concern, It was a horrible and tragic thing that happened that night. The police are still investagating the driver-owner of the truck.He has told about 3 stories about that night.We had heard that someone sent a letter to the police station. That didnt want to be known at this time. That the owner of the truck. Was talking about going to get more beer. To put in his cooler. That was in the back of his truck. And that he was pretty well on his way to being drunk to start with. So it is only a matter of time before he is caught.If he dont come forward then you have to wait on DNA. James is doing a little better now he is at home. He can recall some things about that night.I pray for all that are involved. Including the driver of the truck. Bree was a great delight to all that knew her. And she will be missed greatly by us all. We will miss her big bear hugs and silly little smiles.

Has anyone heard if they have found out who was driving the truck? My blessings to the families. It seems like they could have figured something out by now? We were at Mayfest and saw all the young people having a good time. It is heartbreaking that we lost one so horribly.

I heard that between eyewitness accounts and the evidence from the crime lab that the police have a pretty solid suspect and now it is just a matter of time before an arrest is made.

It makes my heart hurt to think that whoever was driving the pickup that took the life of one teen and injured another does not have the decency or respect to come forward and make it known. It doesn't matter who you are... THAT IS WRONG!!!! Turn yourself in and put an end to all of this for everyone involved. DO THE RIGHT THING!!!!
Posted by: Meme Location: Texas on May 23, 2008 at 01:17 PM
Whomever is responsible for this horrible horrible accident, please come forward. You are ruining many lives. You need to pay for all the heartache that you have caused by your carelessness. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bree and James' families. May God be with you at this time in your life.

I left a comment on the other story also and it read the same as everyone almost. I HOPE THE PERSON THAT DID THIS CAN NOT SLEEP AT NIGHT AND HOPEFULLY WILL CARE ENOUGH about the families to turn yourself in and do the right thing. The truck looks horrible and I can't even begin to imagine what the parents have gone through and for that I am sorry. James's mother is one of my best friends from way back and I wish her prayers and healing along with James and Bree's family. God Bless you all and one day we will be writing on here about the person that turned thereselves in for us to have closer.

James' family also reads these comments-to the person who did this horrible thing-TURN YOURSELF IN!! and for the people who know who did this-YOU ARE AS GUILTY AS HE IS--MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOULS-YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT!!!! For those of you who have expressed your concern and said prayers for Bree and James' families-Thank You-keep them coming we are going to need them in the days, weeks and months ahead. FYI..James should be getting to go home on May 23rd-but has a long recovery road ahead of him-To Brees' family-GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY HE KEEP YOU IN HIS LOVING ARMS DURING THIS SAD TIME..WE LOVE YOU!

I do read all of these things. I am Bree's big brother David, and yes we do read what you say. she was not out at midnight. by midnight she was gone from us for almost 2 hours.I think if you have an 18 year old you know that they will not be home at 12. they have friends and things they want to see. Bree just happened to be going to see her brother at his work. And to yall that has said things about under age drinking, she was going to the store also to get a coke. thank you for all the kind words and prayers.

Bree was also my niece she was walking actually in the grass, on the side of the frontage road. Her And James was struck when the truck veered off the road. So that tells me he must of been DRUNK or not paying ATTENTION.And if some of you all would watch the news. You can certainly tell he never stopped at all. He hit them with full force and never looked back. His truck looked like it hit a tree. And I also think 10:30 is not to late to be out. They were with relatives and decided to walk about a block to the store. Where Bree,s brother worked to meet up with him and wait for there dad.So please before you make any commits on them being out until 10:30.Think about the truck that veered off the road some. And KIILED BREE and injured her FIANCE. Must of you all dont know the story. And some of you may know who did this horrible thing. And if the justice system doesnt get him, guilt will.And I hope he is doing some heavy duty praying to God. Because he will need him.

Hi All I am David,Daniel and Bree,s aunt.First let me say it was 10:20 at night when my niece was KILLED. The time dosent matter anyway. What matter is that the person who did this should come forward. And if he dosent, I will pray for him and his family because it will be hard for them to live with. Knowing he took the life of a young beautiful girl. Im sure he can see it play over and over in his mind. The sounds and the screams of that night. The messed up front end of his truck. Justice will be done rather by the judicial system. Are by the man above. And for those that said she was pregnat she WAS NOT.You should thank the Good Lord for that one. If she would of been it would be 2-counts of VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER. And for those of you who want to know her fiance is doing better. He did have to under go painful back surgery. He will also have to have some pretty painful rehab. And maybe get to go home pretty soon. God Bless You All

How did an article about the death of one young girl and a young man injured turn into this "HATEFEST" I have sat and read through these comments and it disappoints me to see what American society has become. What happened to love thy neighbor? What happened to loving everyone? This is pathetic, I would like each of you to read the very first comment that was ever posted..it was from her brother David Ford. Do you cold-hearted people realize that her family is reading all of these hateful comments that you are writing. Do you think that helps mend her family's broken hearts? Did any of you go by the funeral home and tell them any of this BS you are writing?... no because you are cowards. Did any of you self-righteous people sit and watch her family as they buried their only daughter and sister? Stop already! Just stop have a little respect for her family. Respect... try hard and you might remember exactly what that is. I am ashamed of people... they just don't care anymore.

how easy is it to say that my truck or car must if been stolen when something goes wrong. I hear it all the time in my job. Own up to what you do or have done and stop placing blame where its not due. No person walks on water but the one that does will try you in time.
Posted by: rogersmom Location: rogerstx on May 16, 2008 at 02:50 PM
Smarter than you think....I really don't disagree with anything you said. Whomever did this should do the right thing, and I hope they will, and I believe the truth will come out in time. I have faith in justice and the truth has a way of making itself known sooner or later. I hope sooner for everyone involved as I think that would make it easier on all the families, and especially Bree's parents. I know thier loss is incomprehensible and inconsolable. I still have compassion on all involved including the driver and his/her family, and I will stand by that. I do not understand or support their actions, but my heart does go out to them and their family as well. I would think by your response that you are probably very close to the situation and feeling the loss and anger deeply. I understand that and honor that as well.
Posted by: someone Location: somewhere on May 16, 2008 at 02:36 PM
YOUR NOT SO SMART..My point is unless the driver is telling you personally the different "stories" then you cannot sit back and say they are all different because you haven't heard for yourself. STORIES GET MIXED UP WHEN THEY ARE RUMORS and everything on this board and everything you hear is nothing but rumors. NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH.
Posted by: Smarter than you think Location: Bruceville on May 16, 2008 at 12:22 PM
If you are telling the truth that it is not easy to get your story mixed up.....because it is the TRUTH. Stories get mixed up when they are LIES. Maybe you should try the TRUTH and you will know what I am talking about!!! TO ROGERSMOM....Your heart goes out to a killer....I agree thay probably did not setout that night to kill anyone but were is that persons morals....I don't care if you hit a person, dog or whatever!!!!! You stop and render aid or see about taking steps in correcting the damage that was done. This person had no concern or conscious of doing anything other than running away and hiding like a coward. Yes I am sure they have a family as well but what about the family of the girls who life was taken do they not matter because the person who hit them has a family? Bottom line, family or not, they need to take responsibility for their actions, turn themselves in and face the consequences. If their family means that much to them then they will help them through this.

krv in waco It takes alot of courage to stand up and say you were wrong about something and I am grateful to see your apology to Bree. I did not know her, but know what it is like to have a child that is looked down on
