There have been a lot of questions regarding the timing of Bryan Kocis’s murder to the signing of the settlement agreement between Cobra video and LSG media. I have asked myself did this have a direct connection or was it pure circumstance. Well I was thinking about this and I thought I would do a little checking on things. Well from the news sources and yes we have all read them. The people who lived near Bryan said that he was very reclusive. His neighbor who lives next door and who cut his lawn said that in the months prior to his death he was getting more so reclusive. He would not even open the door to speak to him. He stated on one occasion that he went over to Bryan’s to ask him a question and Bryan would not open the door. He knew Bryan was home so he called him on the phone. Bryan did not answer the phone but called him back 20 minutes later to ask what he wanted. This was not a rare incident from what I can gather.
I understand that he was a private person but he was starting to act a bit more odd as his neighbors put it. He would just go from his house to his car and roar off down the street. Well these statements made me wonder if there was something more to it considering the way he was murdered. Now we all know about the civil case between he and Sean Lockhart AKA Brent Corrigan.
Was Bryan paranoid or did he have other enemies were there treats made to him did he have any recent confrontations with someone? So I have decided to trace the last 60 days of his life. On October 8th 2006 Brent Corrigan announces the launch of their pay site. It was only available for 2 days before Bryan and his attorneys had them shut down. On
October 12th 2006 Brent makes an impassioned plea to his fans for help. It was also during this time period that Brent talks about going with his real name. It was this decision to drop the Brent Corrigan moniker and go with his own name that really started the settlement talks. And we all know about the threats that were thrown back and forth between the litigants. If Sean had done this the Cobra civil suit would have gone down the drain. And Bryan would have had no hold on Sean Lockhart. Now this fact could have made Bryan quite nervous as to the outcome of things. If Sean had released his ID to the police and it showed that he was in fact underage it could have caused Bryan serious trouble. So the settlement was in progress.
November 2006 Brent went to New York to film a movie short and while he is there Bryan shows him an early draft of the settlement agreement which Brent rejects. The settlement talks come to a halt and begin again in earnest. Bryan is more so agreeable now that Brent says that he will use his own name and the talk’s progress.
December 2006 both parties sign a tentative agreement and final negotiations begin to finalize the agreement. Plans are made to meet in Las Vegas to get things hashed out and finalized.
January 2007 The attorney for Sean, Grant and LSG files a motion to withdraw as their attorney
Citing lack of payment of legal fees to the tune of $38,000 and infighting between the partners at LSG, in regards to the settlement with Cobra. As stated in the document, the motion to withdraw is E-mailed to Sean, Grant and Lee on Jan 9th as well as sent by over-night mail to them. Sean and Grant leave San Diego and drive to Vegas for the AVN Adult Expo. It is during this period in Las Vegas for the AVN convention that Sean and Harlow meet for the first time.
Grant and Sean go to Dinner with Harlow and Joeand discuss the possibility of a joint business venture. Bryan also attends AVN Adult Expo and he is accompanied by one of his Cobra Boys, a model named Aaron. Sean and Grant meet with Bryan and discuss more settlement details and they try to get it all together. It is during this same period that Sean and Grant attend the Hustla ball and Bryan and Aaron are also in attendance.
This is also where Sean approaches Bryan and they appear to be on good terms they even dance together and give each other a hug. This is the last day of the convention and Aaron leaves and goes home. Everyone else continues on to San Diego for further settlement discussions. Bryan E-mails Cad and in addition to mentioning the above about meetings with LSG, as Zane mentions in his comment), not working out, he says "Grant is actually coming over later tonight, Sean and Grant will be here tomorrow to meet with me." This is where it is all ironed out and all the papers are signed. While in San Diego Bryan has another model with him named Zane who is present at one of the meetings with Bryan and Grant. Again, according to Zane's comment, Grant and Bryan did meet up that evening and "they had their meeting for 20min or so." Zane Leaves San Diego and goes home as does Bryan. Bryan arrives home on the 19th of January. He spoke with Cad that Saturday and from what I have read said that the settlement was signed and that he was real busy. He has also been in regular contact with the members of LSG Media. The next we here is that on the morning of the 24th of January at around 9:am PST he talks to Brent and then he has a Instant message conversation with Cad at 5:54 p.m. EST he also Speaks to Lee at 3:00 p.m. PST they have a short conversation. Bryan says he was expecting someone at any minute. The next we hear is that at 8:30 p.m. there was a fire at his home and someone is found in the home dead. The coroner ID’s the body with dental records. It is Bryan Kocis and he was murdered before the fire was Set. It is also revealed that his Throat was slashed and he was stabbed 28 times. There are no apparent defensive wound and no sign of a struggle. The door to the home was left open and the fire was set on or behind the sofa where the body was found. There was a knife found close to the body and a bottle of wine on the table near by. It would appear that Bryan knew his attacker(s) and was comfortable with them. The police said that Bryan sent an e-mail to an associate with a picture of a model whom he was supposed to meet with the evening that he was killed. The picture is circulated through the news media and the Internet and the police said that he was “a person of interest with the possible last name of Drake”.
The person of interest was later identified as Harlow Cuadra. The only problem is Harlow was in Virginia when the murder took place. And all the members of LSG Media were in California at the time as well. There was speculation that this might be a murder for hire but it just does not really fit. There is no reason that LSG Media would want to kill him because they would have nothing to gain from his death. The settlement was already in place and Bryan’s death would not affect it. Harlow has no motive, as he did not even know Bryan. The idea of Harlow working for Cobra studios is ludicrous he is not even Cobra material. Harlow is just plain to old to be a Cobra boy. Harlow working for Falcon or Rascal Video that I could see.Harlow is truly not a twink. There is nothing twink about Harlow. Who ever killed Bryan spent some time in that house after they killed him. They could have been searching for something or just destroying evidence. They set the fire to cover their tracks and they also could have sent the e-mail as a distraction. The e-mail is said to have originated from the Allentown area and it is said to have contained Harlow’s picture. I might add that it is quite easy to get Harlow’s picture off the Internet. I did thats why you see it here. Now here is the big what if. Bryan obviously knew his attacker and trusted them enough to let them walk behind him while he was seated on the sofa. The killing wound was the one to his throat and that would have killed him almost instantly. The 28 stab wounds have been called ceremonial or just plain overkill. I don’t think they were Bryan did not die as quick as his murderer thought he would and in a panic they stabbed him 28 more times. The person who killed Bryan had very intense feelings for him. Be they a lover scorned or some one who hated him. Now here is where I have an issue if Bryan was as private as has been said he was not going to let an enemy into his home. So that means it was someone who he cared about. Someone that he had a relationship with. It just stands to reason that his killer is most likely a prior boyfriend or a rejected boy toy who felt threatened by the settlement between Bryan and Brent Corrigan. Now all we have to do is to find out whom Brent Corrigan replaced as Bryan’s boy toy in 2004 and you have your killer. I have read on other posts that to Bryan, Cobra was as much a hobby as a business. In fact I am sure it was more of hobby than a business; even though it proved very lucrative. He enjoyed young men and Cobra gave him access to them. The only problem with boys is that they grow up and become men. So if anybody has more details please feel free to add them.
