Police: Bruner Had Sexually Explicit Conversation With Person He Thought Was 16 Yr Old Girl. “On Wednesday, a sheriff’s detective posing as a 16-year-old girl sent a friend request to the targeted account. The man later determined to be Bruner addressed the fictional girl’s age, saying she was “too young,” according to the affidavit. But he kept the conversation going, switching the setting to vanishing mode so the conversation would not save or be traced, the document states.” [Waco Trib]
