That APD statement makes me extremely sad.

Yep, crushing. I have been hoping there was at least some type of physical fight or foulplay responsible, and that there would be clear resolution and someone would be brought to justice.

---

So two lives are destroyed instead of one?

Since we're all guessing I'll take a stab.

Borrows friends phone after the rest of the group leaves to go back out for the night. She talks to her boyfriend about whatever on the phone and they're arguing. She's presumably still obligated from the tailgate. Gets off the phone upset and hands it back to her friend. Climbs up on the railing or onto a table and the friend freaks out and starts screaming at her. Friend tries to grab her to stop her so she's yelling to get off her as someone else heard. Friend loses the battle and she goes over.

Nothing malicious from anyone involved but everything matches the reports.

---

Then why did the friends claim they were asleep? Why didn't the friend call 9-1-1?

---

And why do you appear to so badly want it to be something other than a suicide?

---

If could very well have been a suicide. However, the APD's has appeared to jump to a conclusion in the first few hours without any real investigation. As a parent, I think the police owe it to the family to fully investigate all possibilities prior to closing case files, having a press conference, and hanging the "Mission Accomplished" banner.

---

The APD said they have the video from the apartment. Wouldnt that mean they could also see her fall from the balcony? They never came out and said that specifically but that is my guess.

Although it appears as if they are labeling it a suicide because she wrote a suicide note a few days before dying, made suicidal comments to friends the day she died, and was self harming herself the day she died. Im willing to bet the cops have text records of her texting suicidal comments to friends the day she passed away.

They said they had security video of the different groups entering and exiting the room. I have not heard them say they have footage of the fall from the balcony. I could have missed them say that.

Has the boyfriend been interviewed? Are the three women who were with her in the room willing to take a lie detector test?

IMHO, Buzbee is out of line. This type of behavior is (one) reason (some) lawyers have bad reps. At best, Ms. Rodriguez will get some money. It won't be nearly enough or even help anything. My heart goes out for her and family. It will take time, but it will always hurt.

I was hoping she didn't kill herself. Mostly as a father of a girl and putting myself in her mother's shoes. Anything but that. It makes it way sadder to me even from a distance as well. To see someone so young and attractive willing to leap out of a high rise while on a trip with friends. Hurts to think about and hard to process

Latest from the mom:

I must continue to say that my daughter did not do what every news outlet is saying! My daughter's boyfriend confirmed Brianna never made statements about suicidal ideation. He respectfully paid his respects and is devastated.

I do not care what Austin PD continues to say I will continue to fight and like I told detective Marshall I am not going anywhere at all! Through proper channels, I hope to shed light on the fact that APD did not thoroughly investigate.

To the lead detective, Robert Marshall, I urge you to conduct a fair investigation for Brianna, because she deserves it.

If you are unable to, APD, hand it over to another authority that is capable of checking off every box!

She makes a call in the bed room

Roommates go to sleep. Wake up at like 9am and can't find her and assume she left last night.

Roommates probably slept or were watching Netflix when she jumped and just didn't realize it and passed out.

---

She borrowed her friends phone around 12:43am, makes a 1 minute phone call, and then her body is found 2 minutes later. The reports say a large group left at 12:30am, and it was her and 3 girls left. She died around 12:45am. Also, witnesses said they heard an argument take place.

I guess everyone passed out right at 12:30am after everyone left and Brianna was the only person still awake 13 minutes later? Seems odd but plausible I guess. You would think at least one person inside that apartment was still awake and/or heard the argument.

---

I guess I am the only person that has been stuck with an intoxicated a hole friend all day. I am not saying this is the case, but it very well could be that simple. She was kicked out of a tailgate and obviously not in her right mind and was probably not the best to deal with all day. She was finally quite after the phone call with the bf and they finally didn't have to deal with a drunk person anymore. Would you get up and try to kick the hornets nest, or would you say to yourself "thank goodness they are finally asleep," and roll over yourself to flush the day?

ETA: She also punched one of her friends she was with. I am sure they were just tired of dealing with her and appreciated the silence and didn't know the tragedy had already unfolded.

Yea I totally get that and trust me, Ive been there many times lol. Im just saying the timing (12:30am-12:45am) was tight between when everyone left to when Brianna fell was around 15 minutes. Just seems like someone would have been awake at that time and seen what happened. Especially with all of the noise and commotion from cops and ambulance downstairs.

Another weird thing is Buzbee claims the APD told him that Brianna handed the phone back to her friend after borrowing her phone to make the call to her bf. So if thats the case, then Brianna handed her phone back to her friend literally a minute (or less) before falling.

Didnt the APD say that Brianna sent several suicidal texts to friends the day she died? Also, they recovered the suicide note from her Iphone a few days before she died. I never saw anything about her making comments to her boyfriend about suicide.

Surely the APD could send this info to the mom so she stops making comments like this?

He could be claiming anything. For a number of reasons. I wouldn't put 10 cents on anything he says as he's trying to set up his future case in the public domain.

It has been pointed out she was asked to leave the tailgate party, and it must have been pretty bad for a hot girl to be asked to leave a party.
