I know they said they found Brian’s remains, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they helped him get away and start a new life. The circumstances of how they found his remains seem strange from what I recall.

You do know that there is forensic, DNA testing & things like dental records that can be used to confirm even severely decomposed remains right? The switching bodies & decoy corpses trope only works in films that ignore modern forensic science. His parents didn't bribe several police departments, foiled public records requests & fooled the FBI to fake an autopsy & smuggle him out. The coward is dead, don't worry.

Not exactly the same, but lots of people believe Elvis and JFK Jr. are alive. I don’t get it
