EVIDENTIARY NOTICE: This packet does not establish that a crime occurred or identify an offender. It organizes later-emerging childhood recollections into testable leads. Every factual proposition requires independent corroboration through official records, qualified interviews, and lawful forensic work.

 

IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT, IT MUST BE DONE IN THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT.

1. Purpose and Requested Action

Brian “Happy” Bryanson is a disabled, homebound adult who reports fragmented childhood recollections involving possible deaths, recovery or movement of remains, and disposal locations near Twin Falls Street in Irving. He created CPTSD Cold Case to preserve those recollections and present them for structured, evidence-based review.

The immediate purpose is not to prove a serial pattern or initiate excavation. It is to determine whether any description, location, injury, household, school, vehicle, or time-period detail corresponds with a contemporaneous record.

Requested written response

1.    Assign an intake or reference number and identify the office or researcher responsible for initial review.

2.    Compare the eight victim sheets with archived missing-person, unidentified-remains, homicide, drowning, medical-examiner, police, sheriff, EMS, school, property, and newspaper records.

3.    Identify which details are contradicted, unsupported, independently corroborated, or sufficiently specific for further inquiry.

4.    Preserve the packet and refer any plausible match to the agency that owns the case, remains, evidence, or location.

5.    Advise whether historical mapping, noninvasive geophysical assessment, ViCAP/NCAVC consultation, forensic anthropology, or other specialized review is justified through lawful channels.

Communication accommodation

EMAIL ONLY: The submitter cannot accept telephone calls, unexpected appointments, unannounced visits, or unscheduled interviews. Written questions are preferred. Any videoconference, interview, or meeting must be requested and arranged by email in advance.

 

2. Submission Standard

Highest-value independent anchors

·      4105 Twin Falls Street, Irving, Dallas County, Texas — reported childhood household and principal geographic anchor.

·      Twin Falls Street and Esters Road; Valley View Lane and West Airport Freeway/SH 183 — corridor anchors requiring historical-map confirmation.

·      Thomas Haley Elementary vicinity — school and drainage-area reference requiring exact historical-footprint reconstruction.

·      Irving ISD / Lee Britain Elementary employment — reported household-access hypothesis requiring personnel and roster research.

·      Existing dated submissions, victim sheets, maps, therapist documentation, and attorney transmittal materials — evidence of reporting history, not proof of the underlying events.

4. Geographic Reconstruction Plan

Sequence	Task	Output
1	Confirm historical parcel boundaries, street addresses, drainage channels, alleys, culverts, school footprints, and roadway changes.	Base map with documented source/date
2	Overlay historical aerial photographs by decade without inventing coordinates.	Change-detection map
3	Plot each recollection as an approximate area, not a precise point unless supported.	Lead polygons with confidence labels
4	Compare police/EMS/ME incidents and development/property disturbance dates.	Records-to-location matrix
5	Consider field assessment only after agency ownership, permission, legal authority, safety planning, and evidence protocols are established.	Written authorization and forensic plan

 

SITE-SAFETY RULE: No student, volunteer, journalist, or private citizen should enter property, disturb soil, collect possible evidence, or conduct an unofficial dig.

 

Victim Sheet TF-01 — Boy Scout in the drainage area

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown
Reported description	Reported white male, approximately 15; described as wearing Boy Scout clothing. The witness additionally reports that the Boy Scout shirt was left at the house.
Reported location	Drainage ditch associated with Twin Falls Street and the Thomas Haley Elementary vicinity, Irving.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports remembering a teenage boy in Boy Scout clothing in or near the drainage area and reports circumstances he interpreted as a beating, drowning, death, and professional recovery or collection of remains. The witness additionally reports that the Boy Scout shirt was left at the house. The newly supplied case table assigns an approximate year of 1973 and places the boy on the side of the ditch opposite the young-girl lead; all of these details remain unverified witness recollections or reported estimates.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

The witness later connected the clothing with an identifiable Scout troop and interpreted the event as a homicide connected to the reported household subjects. Those conclusions remain unverified.

Highest-value verification work

·      Search Dallas County and Irving-area medical-examiner/coroner indexes for unidentified or identified adolescent males recovered from drainage, creek, ditch, culvert, drowning, or flood contexts.

·      Compare missing male youths with Scout participation, age, uniform/clothing, blond hair if recorded, and the relevant Irving/DFW geography.

·      Search Irving Police, Dallas Police, Dallas County Sheriff, fire/EMS, school and newspaper archives for a drainage-area response.

·      Ask regional Scout councils whether historical missing/deceased youth records or troop memorials can be lawfully reviewed.

Questions for official records comparison

6.    Was an adolescent male recovered from a drainage area in or near northwest Irving during the 1970s?

7.    Do any records describe Scout clothing, a Scout event, or a missing troop member?

8.    Which agency handled the scene, and where are the death-investigation, property and evidence records?

Victim Sheet TF-02 — Young girl possibly called “Rachel”

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown; “Rachel” is a remembered possible first name and must not be treated as confirmed.
Reported description	Reported white girl, approximately 4 years old.
Reported location	Twin Falls drainage area; described as being on the side opposite the Boy Scout lead.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports recalling a very young girl in the drainage area, an attempted revival or urgent response, and hearing or associating the name “Rachel” with the child. The newly supplied case table describes her as kidnapped from her home, left in the Twin Falls drainage ditch, and recovered by an unidentified state or public agency in approximately 1973. Those additions remain unverified witness-report details.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

The witness later interpreted the scene as a death and part of the same body-recovery cluster. The identity, name, relationship between events, and manner of death are unresolved.

Highest-value verification work

·      Compare missing girls aged approximately 2–6 with the Irving/DFW area and 1970s time window.

·      Search drowning, accidental-death, EMS, child-abuse, unidentified-remains and newspaper records for the drainage corridor.

·      Treat “Rachel” as a low-confidence phonetic/name lead; search variants without excluding unnamed records.

Questions for official records comparison

9.    Does any contemporaneous record identify a young girl recovered, revived, transported, or pronounced dead near this drainage area?

10.    Does the name Rachel or a similar name appear in missing-child, school, neighborhood, EMS or death records?

11.    Was the scene documented as accidental, undetermined, homicide, or another disposition?

Victim Sheet TF-03 — Hispanic/Latino toddler

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown
Reported description	Reported Hispanic/Latino male toddler, approximately 2 years old.
Reported location	Twin Falls drainage/recovery cluster, Irving.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports recalling a toddler among several bodies or sets of remains associated with the drainage-area collection or recovery.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

Ethnicity, age and sex are childhood-witness descriptors and may be inaccurate. The witness later treated the child as a homicide victim linked to the same cluster; that linkage is unverified.

Highest-value verification work

·      Search missing-child and unidentified-remains records without limiting the search to records that used modern ethnicity terminology.

·      Review Spanish-language and community newspapers, church records, migrant-family advocacy archives and consular missing-person inquiries where accessible.

·      Search coroner/ME, police, sheriff, EMS and child-death records for an unidentified toddler or drainage-area recovery.

Questions for official records comparison

12.    Was a toddler recovered in the Twin Falls/Irving drainage corridor during the relevant period?

13.    Were family reports recorded under a different surname, jurisdiction, nationality or racial classification?

14.    Do surviving records contain clothing, age, dental, skeletal, medical or location details that could test the recollection?

Victim Sheet TF-04 — Young man with a left-arm cast

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown
Reported description	Reported white male, approximately 20–25, with a cast on the left arm.
Reported location	An alley reported to be off or near Twin Falls Street, Irving.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports recalling a young adult male associated with an alley location and remembers a left-arm cast as a distinctive feature.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

The witness later placed this man in the broader drainage/alley victim cluster. The exact event, date, manner of death and relationship to other leads remain unresolved.

Highest-value verification work

·      Search unidentified-remains and death-investigation records for a young adult male with a healing fracture, orthopedic cast, cast material, or left-arm injury.

·      Review alley calls, assaults, traffic events, hospital transfers, missing-person descriptions and newspaper reports.

·      Reconstruct which alleys existed during the relevant years and which law-enforcement jurisdiction handled them.

Questions for official records comparison

15.    Does any record describe a cast, fracture, sling or left-arm injury?

16.    Was a body, injured person or suspicious event reported in an alley near Twin Falls?

17.    Can the cast detail be shown to predate later public exposure to a possible matching case?

Victim Sheet TF-05 — Neighboring blond child / 4109–4105 lead

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown
Reported description	Reported white/blond girl, approximately 5; associated in the recollection with a neighboring residence.
Reported location	Reported connection to 4109 Twin Falls and alleged burial at 4105 Twin Falls, Irving.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports recalling a distressed neighboring adult, a young blond child, police attendance or searches, and later burial activity at the childhood residence.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

The witness interprets the child as a homicide victim and attributes concealment to named deceased family members. These are allegations requiring independent occupancy, missing-child, police and property corroboration.

Highest-value verification work

·      Identify lawful historical occupants, owners and utility accounts for 4105 and 4109 by year.

·      Compare children in the household with school, census-like directory, missing-child, death and relocation records.

·      Search calls-for-service, incident reports, detective supplements, neighborhood complaints and property-search records.

·      Review permits, fence/landscape changes, utility trenches and historical aerials before considering any noninvasive site assessment.

Questions for official records comparison

18.    Was a young blond girl documented as living at or regularly visiting the neighboring property?

19.    Was a missing-child, accidental-death, family relocation or police-search event recorded?

20.    Do property records identify a specific disturbance window that overlaps the recollection?

21.    If records produce a credible match, which agency has authority to evaluate the site?

Victim Sheet TF-06 — Mature Lee Britain teacher

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown
Reported description	Reported adult woman, approximately 40–50; described as a teacher or school employee.
Reported location	Associated with Lee Britain Elementary and Irving ISD; reported abduction from her home.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports later-emerging recollections involving a mature female teacher or employee who worked at the same elementary school as Glenda Shelton and who disappeared during the employment period. The uploaded case table places the three-employee cluster at approximately 1976.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

The witness interprets an interrupted payroll history as a possible means of locating the employee and links the disappearance to the reported household subjects. No payroll interruption, disappearance, crime, or offender connection has yet been independently established.

Highest-value verification work

·      Obtain lawful Irving ISD staff rosters, payroll registers, personnel directories, retirement records, board minutes and archived yearbooks for the surrounding school years.

·      Identify employees whose salary payments, attendance or employment ended unexpectedly during a school term, while recognizing ordinary explanations such as transfer, resignation, illness, marriage/name change or relocation.

·      Compare resulting names with missing-person, death, divorce, relocation, Social Security death, newspaper and law-enforcement records.

Questions for official records comparison

22.    Which women approximately 40–50 worked at Lee Britain Elementary during the reconstructed period?

23.    Did any employee stop reporting or receiving salary during a school year?

24.    Was a welfare check, missing-person report, home-scene response or unexplained resignation documented?

Victim Sheet TF-07 — Lee Britain student teacher

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown
Reported description	Reported woman in her 20s with short brown hair; described as a student teacher.
Reported location	Associated with Lee Britain Elementary; reported empty school parking-lot abduction.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports a later-emerging recollection of a young adult student teacher associated with an empty school parking lot. The uploaded case table places the broader three-employee cluster at approximately 1976.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

The witness interprets the account as an abduction connected to the reported household subjects. The person’s identity, university placement, date, disappearance and alleged connection remain unresolved.

Highest-value verification work

·      Identify universities and teacher-preparation programs that placed student teachers at Irving ISD schools during the reconstructed years.

·      Review placement rosters, supervising-teacher files, practicum evaluations, school calendars, campus newspapers and graduation records.

·      Compare candidates with missing-person, vehicle, parking-lot incident, police, campus-security and newspaper records.

Questions for official records comparison

25.    Was a student teacher assigned to Lee Britain Elementary who failed to complete her placement?

26.    Do university or district files document an abrupt absence, missing-person event or unexplained withdrawal?

27.    What vehicles, witnesses, lighting and access routes were present at the historical parking lot?

Victim Sheet TF-08 — Lee Britain school professional

STATUS: Unidentified reported victim. This sheet records a witness recollection and is not proof that a corresponding official case exists.

 

Field	Current entry
Identity	Unknown
Reported description	Reported adult woman described as a school professional or psychologist; remembered wearing a long blue dress.
Reported location	Associated with Lee Britain Elementary / Irving ISD; precise last-seen location unresolved.
Time window	1970s; exact year and season unresolved unless otherwise stated
Source status	Later-emerging childhood recollection documented by Brian “Happy” Bryanson

 

Direct recollection reported by the witness

The witness reports a later-emerging recollection of a female school professional connected with the three-employee cluster. A long blue dress is remembered as a possible clothing detail. The uploaded case table places the cluster at approximately 1976.

Later interpretation or hypothesis

The occupational title may be imprecise and could refer to a psychologist, counselor, diagnostician, social worker, nurse, special-education professional or visiting district employee. The disappearance and alleged offender connection are unverified.

Highest-value verification work

·      Search district-wide and campus rosters for psychologists, counselors, diagnosticians, nurses, social workers and special-education personnel serving Lee Britain.

·      Review payroll, assignment, travel, resignation, retirement, death and missing-person records for abrupt mid-year changes.

·      Search newspapers, professional associations, licensing boards and memorial records after candidate names are developed.

Questions for official records comparison

28.    Which itinerant or campus-based professionals served Lee Britain during the reconstructed period?

29.    Did any disappear, die, relocate or stop receiving salary unexpectedly?

30.    Can the clothing detail be dated independently or linked to a contemporaneous witness or photograph?

Section 14 — Closing Witness Declaration

I am providing this packet in good faith to preserve and test information that I believe may relate to unidentified or missing people. I understand that trauma-related recollection is not self-proving evidence and that some details may be mistaken, incomplete, duplicated, displaced in time, or disproved by records.

I am not asking any reader to accept my conclusions without evidence. I am asking qualified professionals to determine whether the concrete details recorded here correspond with historical records, official cases, geographic evidence, or physical evidence. I will correct my documentation when reliable records show that a detail is wrong.

No person receiving this packet is authorized by me to trespass, disturb soil, remove possible evidence, contact victims’ relatives without a defined professional purpose, or publicly accuse a living private person. Any site examination must be authorized and supervised by the responsible law-enforcement, medical-examiner, property and forensic authorities.
