pennys grandparents were actually found in the water near the shore they lived by the had both drowned there was no sign of sturgggle or anything like that so there have been many weird situations in this family with more questions than answers

another theory one that is a little more far fethced is that tom was wearing adult diapers and his girlfriend had found out and didnt want it getting spread around the small town but this also came up around the same time that there were rumors of some of the other boys in toms grade wearing girl underwear so theres no telling how much truth there is to any of this

# data[].attributes.body
another theory is that his death was related to the drama teacher commiting suicide shortly after toms body was found some say that there were rumors of tom being gay and that the teacher and tom possibily had a relationship and he may have had something to do with his death but no one has any really proof of this it was just the timing of it all

# data[].attributes.body
another one is that the sheriff and the tom had a bad relationship and that the sheriff might have actually had something to do with it some think it was after he quit playing football the sheriff roughed him up apperantly but this is all specualtion what points to the sheriff the most is the sloppy police work like taking an hour to show up to a missing persons report the night it happened or the cell phone thing where the sheriff wanted the passcode long before the phone was ever found there was alot of bad police work in this case

# data[].attributes.body
there are many different things people think happened to tom brown one is that he actually commited suicide and the mom moved his body to cover up the suicide because another one of there family members had killed them selves with a .25 caliber handgun and it looks like it couldve happened here but her argument was why would i let my own sons body rot in a field where this came from was that there history of mental illness and suicide in their family
