Unshaven and tired, Brianna Parish's father Bruce is still numb. He says his daughter was travelling the country to figure out a plan for her life.

“She went to Baton Rouge without incident. Stayed in Las Vegas with no problem,” says Bruce Parish. “She lived in New York City and went walking through Central Park without incident and she comes back to Daphne Alabama and is murdered.” Daphne police withheld comment on the case for another day. Parish says the police told them Brianna was on the phone with a man the night of her disappearance. He says that person's been in contact with police

“We had actually pulled her phone records and identified the number up to the last number that was on her phone records,” says Bruce Parish. The front lawn of Brianna's sister's home in Summerdale has become a parking lot for friends and family to give each other support. Bruce parish says his daughter was planning her future. Now he's planning his final goodbye. Bruce Parish says there will be a visitation for Brianna at Wolf – Bayview Funeral home Tuesday from 5pm to 8pm. A “Celebration of Life” service will be held at the Bay Community Church in Malbis Wednesday afternoon at 2pm.

Has anyone on the news or any newspaper discussed or mentioned the fact that the owner of Bay House Pub has a son that is a member of the Daphne Police Force? Usually these types of things come out. I may have missed it, but I havent heard anyone mention that. Seems like it would have come up by now with all the other commentary going on.

There is a lot not adding up here. Her mom said she had a bag over her head & was unclothed. Now reporters are saying that is not true. Why would her mom make something like that up,I think the reporters should get their facts straight before they speak! Also, the bar owner said that Bri was never inside, it sounds like that may not be so true. I would like to know where this guy was this past Sat. night.. for personal reasons. Was he at Capones? I need to know if I was in danger. Does he have a short sleeve,lime-green sport t shirt w white or yellow numbers on it? I think so. I wonder if he was being watched or if he tried to get a second local victim. Where does he live? Was there a bag, and please tell me that she was not violated! CNBC said she was. The gossip needs to stop,if for no other reason than out of respect for Bris’ family & friends.

Yes, it’s on the news. P.S. as to my earlier post, I had my days and nights mixed up. They found her on friday, not saturday.
