Search Beyond Lies: Fact or Fiction – The Clues Part 1

In the last Fact or Fiction article for Search Beyond Lies, we discovered that the story surrounding the discovery that Brett was missing was fact. In this article, we’ll take a look at the clues revealed during the search. As promised, there are no spoilers.

The Car

The clues revealed inside the car as well as in the trunk are fact with one exception. There was a playlist on the iPod in the car that was not typical of Brian’s preferred music, just as it was atypical of the playlist discovered for the character, Brett. Therefore, the existence of the iPod with unusual music is fact. However, the music selection on the iPod as outlined in the book as well as the reasons for the selection, were fiction.

the clues along the hike

The character, James, discovered a number of clues while he searched for Brett. In the book, he discovered these clues primarily while on the search with Charlie. The possible purposes behind the “clues” that were revealed within the book are fact. Those “clues” were actually discovered, so they were fact. The fiction lies with whom he discovered these “clues.” In the book, he was with Charlie, in reality, J.C. was with Kimo.

To avoid spoilers, I won’t reveal the clues here. If you’ve read the book and have specific questions, please feel free to reach out to me. I’d be happy to tell you the specifics

the glasses

The glasses discovered by Charlie in Chapter 1 did in fact exist. However, the manner in which they were discovered within the book is pure fiction.

Because of the incredible story behind these real glasses, it needed an article all its own. Therefore, Part 2 of this mini-series will delve into the surprising story behind the glasses, so you’ll definitely want to stay tuned for Part 2. It’s a story that still makes me shake my head and wonder… .
