Exactly. Didn't deserve to die like that... but lying, cheating, selfish people don't get better as they grow older. He would have just kept racking up wives, mistresses and debt until he dies from old age.
I think the widow is just trying to grasp what happened. She’s in denial or has low self esteem. If you aren’t faithful you’ve missed the first step in being a good husband!
Detective is like, :"thing about Brian is that he was a good kid, a good father and DESPITE THE AFFAIR, a good husband" 😏 Yeah no. The very definition of being a good father and husband is to NOT have an affair and run off to Vegas with another woman (and not to mention the limited funds meant for your growing family) - while your wife is pregnant with your child 🤷♀️ No one deserves to be murdered but come on now, let's not frame it incorrectly.
I don't get that either. It's something I hear and see all the time- including from people close to me. I guess it's the "no matter what I do and say, I'm still a good person deep down inside". Some people think it is a defense mechanism against facing the truth about oneself/someone. But I see it as a license for people to do all sort of bad/evil things and still have a positive self-image. It's maddening.
I swear, I’ve heard that a few times on this show, and they always try to speed pass it like “yeah he was having an affair but he was an amazing man”. Uhhh how lol
I don’t think he was a good father, but I know for a fact he wasn’t a good husband. He shouldn’t have cheated on her. But despite of all of that, he didn’t deserve to die
Bryan was a young man who most say was still "a kid". I'm tired of people saying that just because someone cheats, that automatically means death sentence. What Bryan did was wrong but that doesn't mean he deserves death. I've seen and heard of people who have done worse to their spouses during affairs. I'm not saying that Bryan's affair is justified. But Like Todd Park said he deserved a happy life and to make better choices. I'm glad that you agree that Bryan didn't deserve death. It seems that a lot of people think the opposite and that bothers me.
Well said. That is what I was about to say. I can't tell if he was not a good father or if he was. But he certainly was NOT a good husband. If he was, he would have never cheated on his wife.
Well...he had no brain, no, heart, so he would have had to use his kidneys or liver to think and make good decisions. And you're right...he relied on the wrong head.
Obviously even to the wife BESIDES his ""infidelity"" HE was a GOOD HUSBAND all around period 🙄😅🤷🏾♀️so overall regardless weather he cheated and lived or cheated and died SHE would still most likely be with him and still feel the same way and speak the same words...
Thank you! I agree. He was not a good husband! Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing things that other can't despite being pretty obvious. Brian was a POS. Idc if he's dead. People shouldn't be making excuses for people that behave like that.
I don't feel sad for Jennifer because he died, I feel sad for Jennifer for what she is, he was good husband after everything he did to her. If he would have been alive she would have let him abuse her financially, mentally, may be physically in future and may be her daughters. I feel sorry for kids, even if he was alive or even after he is dead.
…Brian’s wife said she couldn’t believe that someone could do such a despicable act to someone he once called a friend…was she talking about the murder or the adultery?

@@phildh9150we didn’t need to see ‘Phil’ in your name to see a dude wrote this. OP was talking about the affair, the language makes it seem he was unwilling participant in the affair.
I mean, if she was a good wife providing to his needs, why would he be tempted to go elsewhere, and if she doesn't like it, she should've kept quiet like a good woman would or gotten a divorce if he permitted her to.
Yea I feel so bad for her. He goes missing. He gets killed and then on top of that she finds out that he had an affair.. she's a very tough woman I do know that
Dale Bradley is still in a Utah prison serving his 40 year sentence, the maximum punishment allowed in this case. He will be eligible for parole in 2025 after serving approximately 20 years and to date neither he nor anyone else has been charged with the murder of his second wife Crystal.
Detective is like, :"thing about Brian is that he was a good kid, a good father and DESPITE THE AFFAIR, a good husband" Im gonna call BS on that. What an incredibly insulting thing to say to his wife. WHO IS RAISING THIS MANS DAUGHTERS. The wife is the hero of the story and deserves the accolades not this man who cheated on his pregnant wife.
Best thing taken from this is , get pregnant later from a high school graduate wh doesn't like Las Vegas or cheating Silly girl was lucky he got rubbed out early on in the story.
when any husband\boyfriend strays from the relationship it never ends well because there is always someone else in the lives of the one you cheat with and it can end up getting you killed so fellas......... keep it zipped for everyone else except your wife\girlfriend and if domestic life is too straight laced for you then tell the other person before you string them too far along.
Wow 😮 it’s like they interviewed people once and decide nothing to see here. They should have been following up on interviews with the suspect and the wife of the suspect. She had valuable information that they only got many years later
“I wonder what goes through a murder victim’s mind every time they’re killed.” I guess he meant to say, “What goes through each murder victim’s mind when they are killed.” Horrifying to imagine.
LOL! Similar to a line in the Cohen Brothers 'The Ballad of Buster Skruggs'. Three men are about to be hanged. One is totally unglued. One of the other condemned men turn to the crying, shaking cowboy and gently asks "First time?"
For real, though. Even though Bryan made some bad choices, that doesn’t mean he deserves to die, especially not the way he did. A 20+ year old is what some people to this day in age, “a kid”. Bryan was still a young man whose life was taken too soon.
13:53 Wrong! If you are someone's spouse and have an affair that doesn't, in fact, make you a good spouse. This dude is delirious. Maybe he didn't deserve to be murdered but you can't act like he was this model husband when he was cheating on his wife.
A man that has an affair is not a good husband or good father. The affair hurts the wife and the baby. Life is never the same once your spouse cheats on you,
They got paint from presumably his right boot cause it would seem obvious that was the one he used to kick the trunk and never found the other boot. If they would have found the wrong boot with no paint transfer,this case may have never been solved.
They didn't get a conviction. There was no trial. He plead guilty to the charges (20:13) after being presented with the evidence- of which there was much more than presented in this episode.
I've never been in a situation like that, but I'm pretty sure that I would not be forced into the trunk of a car,driven to a desolate location and walk to an unmarked grave without some kind of fight. My condolences to the family 🙏
Wow imagine thinking the definition of a good husband and father...is messing around with your workmates wife while disrespecting your own wife and child 😮
The flesh is weak as they say, and Bryan fell into that trap having an affair with Dale’s wife. A very bad thing to do. Sadly, he lost his life. And Dale only got 40 years for murdering Bryan??? Not enough time in my opinion. Affairs affairs ….they are always deadly.
IMO Dale's wife probably was the one to be blamed most for the affair taking place. She was unhappy with, and wanted to be free from her (controlling) husband. Pretending to be taking care of Dale (probably he was expecting this as a service from her?); she was in reality spitefully employing the meal delivering events as an opportunity to first impress, and eventually seduce his best friend... Had witnessed sly women operating in this fashion by skilfully pretending to be helpful and caring towards others and their own family, while in reality it was a mask to cunningly cover-up their real self-serving nature; only eventually to be revealed when the rotten fruit of an affair was uncovered.
Religious beliefs keep them from seeking contraception methods. Otherwise failure to seek contraception due to poor education. They just don't think about the consequences of having sex.
We can't tell if he was or was not a good father. But we can assure he was NOT a good husband. If he was a good husband he would have never cheated on his wife.
I don’t want people to think I’m condoning Bryan for cheating. I’ve seen and heard a lot of worst people who treated there spouse horribly while having an affair. Just because Bryan made some poor choices that doesn’t mean he deserves to die. I pray Jennifer and her children are doing well today and that Bryan is resting in peace knowing his killer was brought to justice. R.I.P Bryan Ruff, Crystal Bradley, and Peter Thomas
Going on trip with his mistress who is wife of his friend (even she is in wrong) when his wife was pregnant and they were struggling financially using their joint credit card. Yes because there are worst we should not call out bad people. Also, people are not saying he deserve death, nope people are saying despite him not being good person detective and his wife were having some delusion of him being good person, a good husband.
Why did the police drop Dale's names from the list of suspects after he passed the polygraph test? Don't police know that passing a polygraph test is not guarantee of anything?
Thou shall not commit adultery Thou shall not convert anothers man's Wife. Disobedient Husband every action get a reaction. Sad thing.😎🙏🏽no one is perfect.☮️b
I like how the show tried to keep it spoiler free by identifying Jennifer Campbell as Bryan's wife 2:51 and then after his body was discovered referred to her as Bryan's widow 17:44 That's a quality detail, FF.
Brian didn't deserve to die, but he put himself in a dangerous situation where he cheated on his good friend's wife and his own wife multiple times. He was a scumbag and he would have cheated on his mistress too eventually. Now his two adult kids know how terrible their scumbag father really was.
If a sociopath does a killing but thinks they were entitled to kill the person, they are capable of passing a polygraph because they have no real human “emotions”.
I keep seeing a lot of people criticizing Bryan and making fun of most of the detectives commenting about most of the detectives saying “he’s not the type to leave his job” and the others saying “he’s left earlier”. I’m just gonna say this: he was a young man who made some poor choices. Not everyone thinks the same way, which also applies to Bryan. Bryan is still what some people call “a kid”. Maybe not emotionally or physically but it’s just to apply to people who are young like that. I’m saying this, Bryan didn’t deserve to die, especially the way he did. I’ve seen/ heard of husbands who’ve harm and abused spouses when they have affairs. I adore with how Jennifer still cared for Bryan even after everything. It would’ve made sense as well for her to be upset. I’m definitely not defending Bryan for the affair, mind you. Again, he’s made some poor choices but that doesn’t mean he deserves to die. I agree with Todd Park, deserved to live and to love his family, while to make better choices. I just pray that Jennifer is doing alright today with her and Bryan’s children. No one deserves to what Bryan and Jennifer went through. I also hope Bryan is resting in peace knowing his killer was brought to justice. R.I.P Bryan Ruff, Crystal Bradley, and Peter Thomas
Everybody talking about how he cheated on his wife but I'm more focused on the fact that he slept with a coworker's wife. The victim was a scumbag that had it coming. Don't sleep with another man's wife and expect to get away with it.
He was what some people to this day in age call “a kid”. He made some poor choices. And just because he made some poor choices that automatically means death sentence?
Getting into the trunk thinking he might have a chance to open the trunk was risky, but so is not complying and getting shot on the spot!! 😬Tough decisions!!
sounds like bad police work initially, to not notice the red paint on the boot. I mean they took the paint chips from the car and still didnt put 2 and 2 together.
They were cowboy boots (as opposed to lace-up boots), they probably came off in the struggle. Easy to not notice that in the dark. Plus, the paint speck was so small; his mind would probably never have gone to the fact that the boots may have the evidence which would eventually bring him down.
I just wanted to comment this down. I mean in numerous investigations we find how harsh the detectives are in their investigations, they sometimes even incriminate innocents just to see how they would react to it. yet in this case, weirdly, they see a chunk of red substance in the shoes, RED, in the sense of it looks like blood, but it took them 14 years to test the substance? It just doesn't make sense. also since when does passing a polygraph test make you innocent? They disregarded the killer in the first place as a suspect just because he passed the poly test? Nothing makes sense in this investigation. I've seen countless other investigations with way less incriminating evidence that were nonetheless solved due to the consistent hard work of the investigators. I mean thank you to the cold case investigator, but those before him, who waited 14 years???? Idk about you guys but it just threw me off
US cops routinely accuse all suspects of guilt with lies to back up their 'evidence' --- it works , telling suspects everything from false DNA takes to flunked polygraphs. Unfortunately some false confessions result from blacked out memories looking for a small redemption in the grill station. Halleluljah !
A gear head would have gotten himself out of that trunk. If that were me, I would have taken my belt off and used the middle prong to turn the lock mechanism the rod feeds into from the lock cylinder. Then wait for him to hit a stop sign and jump and run.

Once again, affairs gone wrong. They are deadly.
13:53 Wrong! If you are someone's spouse and have an affair that doesn't, in fact, make you a good spouse. This dude is delirious. Maybe he didn't deserve to be murdered but you can't act like he was this model husband when he was cheating on his wife.
Come on, when he went to Las Vegas for 6 days without letting anyone where he was , his wife had to be suspicious.
A man that has an affair is not a good husband or good father. The affair hurts the wife and the baby. Life is never the same once your spouse cheats on you,
It’s so interesting to come back to this to see what my Uncle did many years ago.

They got paint from presumably his right boot cause it would seem obvious that was the one he used to kick the trunk and never found the other boot. If they would have found the wrong boot with no paint transfer,this case may have never been solved.
He may be a good father but definitely not a good husband.
If that's your example for your kids, he's not a good father, either.

The flesh is weak as they say, and Bryan fell into that trap having an affair with Dale’s wife. A very bad thing to do. Sadly, he lost his life. And Dale only got 40 years for murdering Bryan??? Not enough time in my opinion. Affairs affairs ….they are always deadly.
IMO Dale's wife probably was the one to be blamed most for the affair taking place. She was unhappy with, and wanted to be free from her (controlling) husband. Pretending to be taking care of Dale (probably he was expecting this as a service from her?); she was in reality spitefully employing the meal delivering events as an opportunity to first impress, and eventually seduce his best friend...
Had witnessed sly women operating in this fashion by skilfully pretending to be helpful and caring towards others and their own family, while in reality it was a mask to cunningly cover-up their real self-serving nature; only eventually to be revealed when the rotten fruit of an affair was uncovered.
I never understand why people bring kids to this world one after the other without having money? 🤷♀️🤦♀️
I was thinking the same. I personally believe it’s irresponsible.
Religious beliefs keep them from seeking contraception methods. Otherwise failure to seek contraception due to poor education. They just don't think about the consequences of having sex.
Grow up.

They really hyped Brian up in this episode. He definitely didnt deserve to die, but his character was definitely flawed.
he left and ran away to las vegas?? what an immature, weak man. I would have left him.
I really really Love the show
***** I love Forensic Files *****
We can't tell if he was or was not a good father. But we can assure he was NOT a good husband. If he was a good husband he would have never cheated on his wife.
I don’t want people to think I’m condoning Bryan for cheating. I’ve seen and heard a lot of worst people who treated there spouse horribly while having an affair. Just because Bryan made some poor choices that doesn’t mean he deserves to die. I pray Jennifer and her children are doing well today and that Bryan is resting in peace knowing his killer was brought to justice.

Going on trip with his mistress who is wife of his friend (even she is in wrong) when his wife was pregnant and they were struggling financially using their joint credit card. Yes because there are worst we should not call out bad people.
Also, people are not saying he deserve death, nope people are saying despite him not being good person detective and his wife were having some delusion of him being good person, a good husband.
@@speakingmymind7970 They may not verbally say it but they say they have no sympathy for him. Basically meaning they don’t care about him
How the hell did they miss the red paint on the discarded boot the first time around.
Exactly! So obvious. It even looked like blood and nobody checked?!
the toilet is a portable one? Nope, the job isn't for me
Forensic files rock

Why did the police drop Dale's names from the list of suspects after he passed the polygraph test? Don't police know that passing a polygraph test is not guarantee of anything?
Idky why people cheat.....it's the one action that can get you killed.
"A very good husband despite the affair?" Um..NO
Well, look at her. She packed on 100 lbs in short order. He held out longer than he should have.
If you’re a cheater, you are NOT a good person! You are also intentionally committing adultery!
A good husband, but going around cheating and looking for second wife? Lol
😂
Funny because when the cop answered thr second call...the clock shows exactly the time that I am watching this right now.
Sad how a affair costed him his life.
Thou shall not commit adultery
Thou shall not convert anothers man's Wife. Disobedient Husband every action get a reaction. Sad thing.😎🙏🏽no one is perfect.☮️b

He chose that life
@@ohsnapitzari2318 We are all human and can make wrong choices.
@Lashan Y Right . Affair COST him his life. Boils down to decisions and choices we make
I like how the show tried to keep it spoiler free by identifying Jennifer Campbell as Bryan's wife 2:51 and then after his body was discovered referred to her as Bryan's widow 17:44 That's a quality detail, FF.
Brian didn't deserve to die, but he put himself in a dangerous situation where he cheated on his good friend's wife and his own wife multiple times. He was a scumbag and he would have cheated on his mistress too eventually. Now his two adult kids know how terrible their scumbag father really was.
Yeah polygraph is not reliable. Never rule out a suspect because they passed the polygraph
In Louisianna they bust you for passing the polygraph . at 70 m.p.h.
If a sociopath does a killing but thinks they were entitled to kill the person, they are capable of passing a polygraph because they have no real human “emotions”.
I like forensic files too
***** I love Forensic Files *****
That reenactment actor looks so much like the murderer
I keep seeing a lot of people criticizing Bryan and making fun of most of the detectives commenting about most of the detectives saying “he’s not the type to leave his job” and the others saying “he’s left earlier”.
I’m just gonna say this: he was a young man who made some poor choices. Not everyone thinks the same way, which also applies to Bryan. Bryan is still what some people call “a kid”. Maybe not emotionally or physically but it’s just to apply to people who are young like that. I’m saying this, Bryan didn’t deserve to die, especially the way he did. I’ve seen/ heard of husbands who’ve harm and abused spouses when they have affairs. I adore with how Jennifer still cared for Bryan even after everything. It would’ve made sense as well for her to be upset. I’m definitely not defending Bryan for the affair, mind you. Again, he’s made some poor choices but that doesn’t mean he deserves to die. I agree with Todd Park, deserved to live and to love his family, while to make better choices. I just pray that Jennifer is doing alright today with her and Bryan’s children. No one deserves to what Bryan and Jennifer went through. I also hope Bryan is resting in peace knowing his killer was brought to justice.

Christi should be convicted of felony accessory after the fact and receive two or three years prison terms .
Curious to hear which legal argument you base that on?
What?! Why?! She had nothing to do with anything!
She's a bad person, doesn't mean she should go to jail for it.
Everybody talking about how he cheated on his wife but I'm more focused on the fact that he slept with a coworker's wife. The victim was a scumbag that had it coming. Don't sleep with another man's wife and expect to get away with it.
0:32 "It would drive me crazy to know what a murder victim goes through every time they're killed". I guess he must believe in reincarnation.
he wasnt a good man. He ran from responsibility of his child and wife, and cheated on her.
😊
He was what some people to this day in age call “a kid”. He made some poor choices. And just because he made some poor choices that automatically means death sentence?
We're gonna complete the act of having a children.... But after that.... You're on your own..... That's the most popular move nowadays.....
Not raised right!
Sleeping some is wife is extremely dirty and violence against one is dignity.
Anger makes you do bad things.

Im glad the got that pos ,that young man had two daughters that didn't even get to know him smh.
The case is not strong enough for the killer to confess, and yet he seems to have done it!
DICTATORS ARE VERY SMART, GOOD JOB
Seen before. Sad.
Getting into the trunk thinking he might have a chance to open the trunk was risky, but so is not complying and getting shot on the spot!! 😬Tough decisions!!

I can’t believe they didn’t notice that red smear mark on his boot. That’s the first thing I seen when they shown the picture.
* I saw NOT I seen.
That's his job to provide. Quit making excuses..
The pint sample on the boots and from the car put him my way for good😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I lost it when they said he was cheating with his coworker's wife. Tsk. I'll move on to another forensic files.
What's that got to do w anything, tho?
Nah, Bryan wasn't a good father or a good husband. Men minimize things. They think alike.
sounds like bad police work initially, to not notice the red paint on the boot. I mean they took the paint chips from the car and still didnt put 2 and 2 together.
Why did he make him remove his boots? And why did the killer leave the boots out to be found?
They were cowboy boots (as opposed to lace-up boots), they probably came off in the struggle. Easy to not notice that in the dark.
Plus, the paint speck was so small; his mind would probably never have gone to the fact that the boots may have the evidence which would eventually bring him down.
It said it was so he wouldn't run away (there was snow on the ground)
Did you even watch the episode?
@@badkarma1289😊
Not a good husband or a good friend.
😊
So his second wife killer is still unknown....?
So it seems.
I know right ? Geez😏
😊
Don't be surprised if you get killed for having an affair with other's spouses.
Brian is a bad bad father and don’t mess with another man dog 💨 🔫 😂😂
I just wanted to comment this down. I mean in numerous investigations we find how harsh the detectives are in their investigations, they sometimes even incriminate innocents just to see how they would react to it. yet in this case, weirdly, they see a chunk of red substance in the shoes, RED, in the sense of it looks like blood, but it took them 14 years to test the substance? It just doesn't make sense. also since when does passing a polygraph test make you innocent? They disregarded the killer in the first place as a suspect just because he passed the poly test? Nothing makes sense in this investigation. I've seen countless other investigations with way less incriminating evidence that were nonetheless solved due to the consistent hard work of the investigators. I mean thank you to the cold case investigator, but those before him, who waited 14 years???? Idk about you guys but it just threw me off
Hello buddy 🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻🦶🏻
It wasn’t 14 years to test the paint! They didn’t find it until AFTER 14 years! Also…stop trying to “look” smart!
US cops routinely accuse all suspects of guilt with lies to back up their 'evidence' --- it works , telling suspects everything from false DNA takes to flunked polygraphs. Unfortunately some false confessions result from blacked out memories looking for a small redemption in the grill station. Halleluljah !
A gear head would have gotten himself out of that trunk. If that were me, I would have taken my belt off and used the middle prong to turn the lock mechanism the rod feeds into from the lock cylinder. Then wait for him to hit a stop sign and jump and run.
Did they not notice the paint in 1991?
