ok, well i think it's time that these reality tv shows start better psychological screening of their participants. this is two in like two months!

Funny, how Brian having a girl caught up in the sad porn industry does not describe himself as a preacher or ex-preacher in his presentations on myspace, but somehow your title calls him as an ex-preacher with notes on him being "a man of God"? Bias anyone :-).

There's nothing biased about the title, although Brian did not mention being an ex-preacher, preacher, whatever on his myspace, it does list his education and College information,one being MOODY BIBLE COLLEGE, major EVANGELISM.
All other articles pertaining to Brian in the news does mention he was an ex-preacher. So whats the problem? In denial that someone who was a preacher at one time,a proclaimed christian and "man of God" is not capable of being a criminal? Pleeease! Reality check people alot of preachers are criminals, low down and dirty, using religion to hide behind to do their dirty work.

this guy is my boss. he wasn't a damn reality star he was on the first episode of the show and didn't even get any camera time. he wasn't a preacher per se but he was in ministry, he did this mime/drama presentation thing to minister to people. everyone changes though and he got out of that scene about ten years ago and started doing what he does now. he was still a believer and very spiritual. i had actually been staying with him and felecia until recently. honestly i don't think he did it. i know anyone would say that about their friend, but i really don't. she was severely beaten with a blunt object. there is no situation or circumstance where i would see brian doing that to her or anyone. some sort of scuffle or accident i guess i wouldn't put past anyone, but not that. he had enemies and people who think that he owes them money. she was in the adult industry for a while. anything is possible as far as what happened. i'm sticking by my boy until he's proven guilty. we still don't have many facts.

I agree with what t said. I also had the pleasure of staying with them for a while and never saw anything that would even suggest that brian was violent. He's the one person in my life that I know truely loved life. I can't see him raising a hand to anyone. I beleive he didnt do it either and I'm with t in saying that I stand by him.

Fuck him and all you losers.

See what porno does?

You assholes probably love Michael Vick too.

Pricks ......

She is a model not porn star as title states, nor "soft porn" word suits. MODEL is enough.

R.I.P. Felicia

This whole situation is just sad.
It does state she was a former porn star.. And yes I seen of her work.
But no matter what she was, model, porn star... She was a human being, that didn't desurve to die like that.
Now as far as the suspect.. Brian. I can't say he would or wouldn't do it.
I know genuinely great people that are abusers. So I'm iffy on the whole thing. In due time the truth will surface.
So yeah, I felt like I should throw in my two cents.

R.I.P Felicia

They should do to him what he did to that defense-less tiny woman. No, they should do worse: Beat him irons bars and whips, wash the roach down with seawater and gang-rape this less than human piece of shit with a crusifix by his fellow Aryan-Christian brothers till he cries and screams . I'm sure they are happy to oblige and it's the christian thing to do to love thy brother. Maybe he can turn the other cheek?
Then use a prefered method of the Inquisition: strangualation by rope, turning and turning till his adamsappel turns to mush.then my friends we have justice. Not before. And now I will barf. Where is God? Where? So silent up there ...

Porn Star, Model, Housewife, sister. It doesnt matter who or what you are ....NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE by the hands of another person. I hope this man gets what he deserves even thought it wont be anything like the horrible death that Felicia died of . He needs to be judged by the one who he was suppose to have worshiped. Im sure that day is coming Brian and I hope that justice will finally be done on that day...I also hope that you burn in hell .

Porn Star, Model,sister, housewife. It doesnt matter who or what you do. NO one should Die by the hands of another person. Your day will be coming Brian, and you will be judged by the one power that you worship. The only thing we can hope for is that justice will be served , and I hope its a slow torture like you did to Felicia.

Hey, I think I've solved California's budget problem. We can just convct people with no trial! It seems like that's the norm for most of the commentators here. Think of all the money we'd save!

It's was a beautiful woman, who had friends, family and loved-ones. You might not agree with her chosen job/profession. It's better than a salesman of a tv-preacher. They are the real whores, not her. Well, whatever she did, she needed safety, shelter and true, unselfish, no-string attached love and piece. Doesnt everyone?
What makes those self-righteous christians think that they are the one ones that can pass judgement and have a last say on morality, ethics and the soul/feeling? Fuck them

Im a atheist but I would never do or contemplate to do what that piece of dog-barf did to her, mr I'm into ultimate-fighting-less-than-a-amoube-in-the-Baring-sea-motherfucker
Shame on in t and m that they try to make this less than it should be.
Im sick of this world, that is destroying all that is beautifull and create and support all that is tripe, conventional and mediocre. I didnt knew Felicia Tang and Im a male but my heart bleeds for such testeron-induced brutali
ty.

Yes 'HAC', I would have to agree with you- it seems many of these preacher types are the real whores.
I get so tired of these self-righteous, holier-than-thou religious types who believe they have the right to judge and demonize others....eventually, (and inevitably), proving what hypocrites they really are.
This woman was most likely of a higher moral integrity than this idiot with a ‘Masters in Divinity’ and than those who would use their Christian beliefs to judge her. I doubt she looked down on anyone the way some Christians and IM SURE SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HURT ANYONE!

I knew Brian when he was doing his mime ministry in Texas abou 8 years ago. He has told many people about the good news that Jesus loves them and forgives them. I am sure many people will live in heaven because of Brian's ministry. The message is true regardless of any mistakes of the messanger. It is hard to imagine that Brian would murder anyone,but the truth is that whether we actually comitted murder or just have hate in our heart like the obvious hate mentioned above...the truth is it is all the same to God. It is all so far from His perfection. Jesus Christ bought forgiveness for us. I am praying for Brian and everyone above to receive comfort , forgiveness and peace that only comes through Him. Moses was a murderer and so was King David and he was called a man after God's own heart. So does that make murder right? Of course not but it makes God amazing. Whie we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. This short message may be someone's only link to Jesus. Ponder the truth of Jn. 3:16 and live gratefully forever.

I have had my own painful experiences with "Christians" and can well understand the ANGER. Years ago I bought a Bible and decided to find out for myself. It's the 'How to have a better life' handbook and what signs to look for when your going back down the tubes. Christian haters (like my old self) kept looking at the preachers,tv evangelists, church going phonies ect. and not God, and what He said in the Bible. Jesus was always pointing out the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of his day, he was always pointing out the phonies and what was going to happen to them. He always spent quality time with the social outcasts, He healed anyone who would believe in Him and He even gave up His own life for them. HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER MORE. It is obvious from the article above that Brian was Dancing with the Devil!!!!

Were this really a 'man of God' as claimed above, he would not be living with a woman out of wedlock.

Sorry to bust someone's bubble here.

I am not surprised that someone who engaged in "mime ministry" (I mean, WTF?) would have a serious case of suppressed rage/anger/hatred/insecurity. Anyone who aspires to be a mime is apparently oblivious to the fact that EVERYONE HATES MIMES, and yet there they go...doin' the mime thing. I don't know what to say other than: "God Hates Mimes".

Fatty:

What is a mime and what was he doing as a mime? So I can understand your comment.

I was on Brian's mime team about 12 - 15 years ago. Mime is simply drama without words (for above poster). This art form was especially effective in Europe where there was a language barrier. I'd be interested to know if the person that hates mimes also hates actresses and actors and other types of artist, or just this one kind of artist. Brian was incredibly good at this craft. He made audiences laugh and cry and was very entertaining. I enjoyed traveling with Brian and his team to perform in Europe and in churches all over Texas. This news is truly hard for me to believe. I knew Brian well and had actually seen him very broken before the Lord at one time. I think living in L.A. he must have slowly gotten away from the Lord (obviously) because his MySpace does not mention anything really about God when describing himself, which is very unlike the Brian I knew.

I am praying for this poor gal's family and also am praying a lot for Brian and his family. I would love to talk to him. I feel like he will be very sorrowful about his actions, but he was obviously in a very disturbed state. We don't know all the facts, so although I want to reserve judgment on my old friend, it sounds like the report is likely true. Ironically, Brian and myself and our team actually performed in a prison once for inmates. Well, I think he will have many more chances to do this again.

Now for those so full of hate and evil wishing...You should be careful. I believe ANY man is capable of committing the most horrific of sins, apart from God....and with that much hate, I can tell you, you are apart from God. In case you weren't aware, having hate in your heart is a pretty awful sin. It's the kind that often ends up manifesting more outwardly later.

I would ask all of those of you who are of God, to pray for Brian. Pray that he will truly and fully repent; that God would do a miracle in his heart, because the work on the cross was enough for even this sin. I'm not saying that he shouldn't have consequences on this earth for this sin (I believe he should), but I am saying that God can absolutely do a work in his heart and absolutely forgive even this sin and absolutely restore the fellowship between the two of them (God & Brian). There is no sin too big for God.

Brian was in my Bible Study about 12 years ago or so when he lived in Texas. I lost touch with him when he moved out to LA. Brian was very nice to me and seemed to be a good person. I never seen him ever lose his temoper or emotions.

It appears that when Brian moved to LA he left his Christian beliefs and values in Texas and got caught up in the secular superficial and shallow LA party scene.

Sin is very seductive. It is like poison covered by candy. It takes good on the outside but will kill you on the inside.

Unfortunately this is what happens when someone pursues unGodly and worldly desires and not Godly righteuous desires

To all you Christian Haters. Hate will blind you to the truth. Just because Brian went to a Christian school two decades ago and used to be a Christian mime years ago does not make Brian or anyone a modern day " Christian Preacher or Pastor".

Per his myspace page Brian was not actively proclaiming himself as a righetous Christian, Preacher, or Pastor. Unfortunately some Good people change for the worse.

The problem with Christianity is Christians. The problem with Atheists is Atheism.

To all people who judge Brian, please hold on your judgement till Brian was proven guilty! I believe it was an accident not a murder... he loves Felicia so much, no reason to kill her.

Hating all christians, you may have some problems of your own to attend to.

Skissy & Canadanorth--Years back, I was in the first row at a performance of Marcel Marceau. By the way, Canadanorth, if you want to know what a mime is, google "Marcel Marceau". Marceau was a Mime with a capital "M" and was a joy to behold. On the other hand, every other mime I have been forced to endure is an irritant and an eyesore, and a little part of my soul dies every time I see one "perform". I LOVE talented performers; it just so happens that I have only seen one talented mime and loads of untalented wannabes who call themselves mimes. On a more pertinent note: I believe that we are all, of course, innocent until proven guilty...but to all of Brian's Christian acquaintances, instead of expressing (or feigning) righteous disbelief that a man like Brian could be capable of murder, consider that perhaps Brian has been a megalomaniacal sociopath for years, that at some point in his life a part of him recognized it, and that he desperately searched for something that would MAKE him "be good", something that would make him feel like less of a misfit in this society, something that would make him feel more human...it wouldn't be the first time someone used Christianity for this purpose, and it damn sure won't be the last. I once saw a documentary about religion in prison. One of the inmates, a guy who had committed truly gruesome murders, said to the camera that he felt absolutely no remorse and that it didn't matter whether or not he was granted forgiveness by his victims or their loved ones because he had been "washed clean by the blood of Christ" and knew he would be going to Heaven because of it. He believed--because he had been TOLD by some preacher--that nothing he had done before becoming a jailhouse Christian mattered at all in the eyes of the Lord. He had been told that he had a blank slate, wiped clean. I am sure that Brian, if proven guilty, will enjoy the same privilege. Jesus wept, indeed.

I was once a roomate of Brian's while in college in Chicago. The Brian Randone I knew then was not capable of these things described. He had his personality flaws. Many people viewed him as vain and arrogant. He was very concerned with his outward personal appearance. I saw him begin and end every day with prayer on his knees before God, though. Whatever sins were in his life were repented of daily and he continually worked at improving himself as a Christian brother! He also wanted to help me with my own personal struggle with weight gain. He daily encouraged me to pray for strength to overcome my hunger, and he taught me HOW to do that...I lost 70 lbs. my freshman year in college by getting up early in the morning to do calesthenics before starting my day, and by running up and down the Lake shore in Chicago..he ran in the Chicago marathon many times. When I first started running with him, I would turn around and go back to the dorm after a few blocks..little by little, I eventually was able to go three miles with him that year, and he would go slow so he could stay with me to encourage me to keep running...he wore a "Jesus is God" t-shirt when he ran along the lake...he talked to everyone he met about knowing Christ personally and how the power He gives us to overcome our personal struggles is available to everyone for the asking...
I, too, believe that when he moved to LA, he may have changed, but we must be sure not to rush to judgement until all the facts in the case are presented and a fair trial has been given.
I'm praying for Brian every day, too, as well as Felicia's family!
I'm praying that if Brian is innocent, that Felicia's true killer will be identified and brought to justice. I am also praying that if Brian is guilty, he will admit his guilt and pay the earthly price for his crime. God Bless you all!

For the "accident theory" supporters out there, how severe should the beating be and how long can someone crush another person's larynx before you would consider it "not an accident"

Addressing "Fatty C.": Brian and I and some others went to see Marcel perform one night. Certainly I or even Brian would not consider ourselves to be the caliber of Marceau. He was one of the first greats probably. His performance was truly wonderful and artistic. Although you've unfortunately seen some mime performed poorly, there are others that are worth going to see in spite of the fact that they can not be compared to "Marceau". Surely you have seen other actors or singers that are not as good as Russel Crowe or Celine Dion; yet people get blessing and enjoyment still. I think you would have to admit you exaggerated a bit when you said God hates mimes. Just for the record, In Scripture, God is defined as Love itself and He is not capable of hate toward people. They are His most precious creation of all. Would you die for something you hated, btw? Perhaps you might approve of a European mime that I love and trained under a bit, Gerald Anderson (try googling; don't know if anything is there or not since I haven't tried myself).

Concerning your take on prisoners using Christianity to get out, I'm sure that has happened. Unfortunately, the documentary you saw only mentioned the negative side of that. I have heard the testimony and witnessed the drastically changed lives of several ex-prisoners that are totally changed inside and out. I have a really good friend who was in fact one of those people. Remember, it's MAN that is sinful, not God. An imperfect, sinful man would try to use Christianity if he thinks it could help him get out. This does not negate the fact that God could actually change this person if he REALLY let Him.

FOR OTHERS: I regret allowing the newspaper articles, which automatically assumed Brian was a murderer to have effected me so much. Now that Brian is coming out with a no guilty plea, it is a reminder to me that, thank God, we still live in a country where we are innocent until proven guilty. I honestly don't know if he is guilty or not. I can only tell you I never saw Brian lose his temper. The most negative criticism he ever made of me (other than constructive critcism as my mime instructor) was that I didn't put enough chocolate chips in my cookies. How did he do this? He grinned real big and said, "where's the chips?"

I actually dated Brian when he lived in Arlington, Tx. I always noticed then that he seemed to talk the talk but not walk the walk. The more I was around him the more I thought that he was a sociopath. I let our dating relationship turn into a friendship and my son even performed several times with his mime team. One day my son told me that he didn't want to go with Brian anymore or perform on his mime team. To this day I think that something bad happened that my son did not want to tell me about.

i knew brian (very well)long before his bible beater days ! and often wondered what happened to the brian i knew ! that is when i stopped hanging around him he wasnt being himself he was running then and sounds like still ! hmmm now i know where the old brian is!(and i dont mean murder)as i said 20+ years ago to him man you cannot HIDE behind god !! sad sad day for his family in omaha !

AFA quote: Because God is the Creator of all things, some say God created evil. But cold is not an independent entity; "Cold" is merely the absence of heat. Nor is there such a "thing" as darkness; darkness is simply the absence of light. So it is with evil. Evil is the absence of good. Evil is displayed when men fail to heed God's command to love thy neighbor as themselves. God is good. Always.

I just found out about this today. I knew them both and I cannot believe it. First of all, I met Brian when he first moved to LA, he was a very classy, smart and hard working man. He told me about his life and his ministry, but he was very curious about so many things he had not experience and excited about the "LA and Hollywood scene"... I believe he met the wrong people and got into bad things, dancing with the devil for sure. I also knew Felicia, I may not agree with her proffesion but she was a very sweet girl. Only them and God know what happened that night. But truthfully, I can't imagine Brian doing this. RIP Felicia

I know this Brian Randone through social acquaintances, I have heard that he is a very jealous man and that he is violent with his women. He has lived in many different places in his life. That tells you something. Something to hide doesn't it?
The truth of the essence here is that the police believed that Brian Randone murdered and tortured a victim. For him to be formally charged also tells you something. Usually the boyfriend/husband is a suspect. The arrested him on the spot. This indicates obvious evidence. Professions are irrespective. The crime was heinous for itself. It's sad to see people you know and trusted do such hateful things.

Who cares whether he was Christian, Muslim, Hindu or worshiped aliens. There is strong evidence against him out there that he murdered and tortured her. Such a villainous crime. Don't blame his actions upon others. He did what he did with his own hands. The blood is on him. So supposedly a "classy", "smart", "working man" cannot commit a crime. He is a murderer and he had a choice. God gives us a choice right? Well, he choose to commit a sin and kill and torture a human being. He belongs in prison, where he will pay for his sins.

I was Brian's girlfriend for a year and a half up until he moved to L.A. I married someone else, so Brian packed up his things and moved to L.A. suddenly. I know that during my relationship with him, he was truly honest about his desire for God. He cared about people and he wanted to be a true disciple of Christ. He did struggle with wanting worldly fame and fortune, and that must be what happened when he moved to L.A. It's hard for me to imagine Brian being so violent. I NEVER saw a dark side like that. We were very close. My friends have all commented how shocked they are because he was so gentle and sweet to me. This is truly heartbreaking.

I knew Brian from my childhood and early twenties. I have not seen him in probably 15 years or so. What I do know for a FACT is this:
The Randone Family are truly wonderful people. His parents, siblings,uncles and aunts, cousins have been wonderful friends and like our own family during very difficult times. They have been there to help pick us up during the loss of my brother, grandparents, loss of jobs, friends, etc. They do not expect anything more out of anyone except honest and true friendship.
We went on family vacations, to the lake and the Italian Festival in Omaha. We went horseback riding and rode bumper boats in Estes Park, CO. Through it all, Brian was there and part of all the activities. While he is 7 years older than me, I do remember how nice he was to me as kids, taking me under his wing and helping me get over my fear of horses and the lake. In my head I see that Brian Randone. In my heart, I want to believe that is who he still is.

However, the media and those who have posted on this article (Hating all Christians, Fatty Corpuscle, etc)need to remember that in our wonderful country, everyone is presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of Law. You have basically convicted him before his day in court. I don't know what happened that day but I do know this. How absolutley devastating to learn that a family member has been charged with such a heinous crime. Your child, brother or sister, nephew, niece, cousing, grandchild or friend. Whether or not he is found guilty. Hateful,malicious, deviant comments won't change what happened. They just victimize more innocent people.
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers to Felicia Lee's family and My heartfelt sympathy, love and prayers to Brians.

I've known Brian since I was 5. My mom had him come to my private school and perform as a mime. He stayed at our house multiple times and usually brought people with him he met along his journey in life. I cannot see him doing this. Now or ever.
He is a Christian, that doesn't make him immune to sin. He was/is a minister... that also does not make him immune to sin, failure. He IS A MAN. A human being who is just as capable of making decisions, both good and bad.
It sickens me to hear of some of his latest decisions, but I stand by him. Innocent until proven guilty. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"

Pastors are men. Unfortunately so many have found their hope and peace the message they bring and fail to look at where the message truly comes from. God.

Despite what is and is not said on Myspace... despite Felicia's chosen career... despite Brian's background... this is truly a heartbreaking situation for both of them as well as those connected to them.

Please keep all those involved in your prayers. They are desperately needed.

I am embarassed to say I dated him "post mime" in LA and he does have some redeeming qualities he's a very hard worker...who forged signatures cheated young sales kids out of thier money and gradually became the most terrorizing man I have ever dated. He stalked me, broke into my cell phone, systamatically made any friends of mine too repulsed to stick around and threatened me in a series of messages that filled up my voicemail many times. I got away and I'm lucky but he may too if the rest of you don't TALK TO THE POLICE! COME FORWARD PLEASE a life has been stolen and they need you to call and tell the truth we could have prevented this let's at least honor her memory. Would you do it if it was a friend he killed? No man is all evil and I have cried horribly and thought of him and his family such good people, but he really was paraniod and very jealous not to mention a drunk, cheat, gambling addict, occasional user of drugs and sadly very good at pretending to be something he's not. He can build up a person and draw them out but he cannot escape the sense of entitlement to do things that are wrong and then cover it up with the smoothness of a winter lake. He was a moving artist I saw him mime for the last time and I teared up. God loves Brian but he hates the sin and we are left with what to with him until God get's his turn. Please do the right thing I know you are out there just like me nervous but you know he jsut wasn't right in the head. If you stay silent then you might as well sat there and watched her little body get pummeled and then held her head down with all your weight until her nose shattered and she couldn't breathe. But I cannot stand ashamed before God with that on my heart.

Dear Abused by him too.
Thank you for being brave, compassionate and straight forward. Felicia was a dear friend of mine. It pains me deeply to have to read what others have to say, at the same time I am grateful others like yourself are speaking up.

For the rest of you, no one ever believes that someone could possibly do anything like this. When Felicia told me he found her car at school and left her flowers she told me ..."I don't know if I have a stalker on my hands or a gentleman". I really wanted to see her with a good person, so we encouraged her to see he was being a "nice guy". She mentioned to us he was a jealous person. And, in fact I know first hand what this Brian Randone is capable of. He abuses drugs such as cocaine, G, ecstasy and other narcotics. I know this because the last time I saw him he offered me drugs. I agree that this man is truly a sociopath. I don't believe it was an accident. He left Felicia to die slowly for 5 to 8 hours before calling 911 after suffering multiple wounds and it's known he used a wire object to beat her repeatedly. No one can hide behind the bible and the only devil he dances with are his inner demons.

Thank you for telling your story and getting past your embarrasment so that others can come out too. If you have not already spoken to the Commerce Sheriff's Homicide Dept. Det. Brian Shcoonmaker is the person to speak to if you have been a victim of this man.

Please note the tags, headlines and tabloid like titles. He was not a pastor and she was not a porn star. He was a "mime"(so weird). She was a playboy model, and actress.

Wow -- must be a bunch of 13-year-olds posting on here. I've never read so much venom in such a small space. This guy hasn't been tried yet. Period. Those of you who are already condemning him (and this includes you so called "Christians" so ready to judge him) are putting a lot of faith in a justice system that doesn't warrant it. Why don't you all worry about your own lives -- you've obviously got a lot to work on. Start with the anger.

Oh -- and to those Christians repeated such inanities as "this is what happens when you turn away from a godly life." Last I checked religion was the #1 cause for violence in this world. Maybe if those 9/11 hijackers had "turned away from a godly life" we'd still have the twin towers.

Grow up, all of you.

one way to find out how someone truly is to asked people they grew up with. the way to find out how somone is now and who they have been and become is to ask the people they dated later on in life. if it is the later it's true. when we get older and older we really show who we really are/were, becuase we aren't in high school anymore. we expericence real/true challenges and we rely on ourselves who aren't privilieged or spoiled. it is the challenges of life that show us who we are. we get old and then we have nothing to prove except to ourselves. when have you ever seen a 5-10yr old gay person truly reveal themselves. it's as we get older and older and further away from the (nest)homefront. where no one we grew up with can see us and where we can finally unleash. some as times get hard as brian stated when he has been almost broke and has been both well off. perhaps he felt unable to live up to her expectations. there was an argument or just one second split in which he felt it's "go" time. now or never or later. some of us just can't take the thought or sight of anyone else with our "sugar". then at that moment a life is taken. some of us want to have our own lives taken, but at the same time perform and an of a "higher power" a lifetaker. it's so sad. some people have to stop a person. if you are out there and you are a killer inside deep. please ask/beg someone to stop you. walk into a police box and turn in. you save a life(s) remember killers kill. i helped save my mother from the one who loved her. my father. it took me and 5 other siblings. it's hard to have gone through this, but i have had to walk away from relationships with anyone (female)that i felt didn't fully respect me, becuase it was that lost respect and infidelity that i had no idea about at the time that attributed to my fathers anger. if we weren't all there then to watch a supreme man and father of the yr my birth year crumple. you bet/invest it all on the woman you love and you better be prepared to walk away from the table and start over. men love and cherish women. remember they too are someones child. whoever you love. gay/straight/tranny whatever. respect that person as someone's child to just walk away and think about something else to believe in that is right and not disrespectful to another/others. my father/grandfather were ministers, but if you feel like you have nothing else to lose or gain or you are not mentally/physically stable then at least please don't take life. perhaps you might think you have the right or want to live, but someone wants you to. don't disfigure yourself. love yourself. remember killers kill and don't need a reason. millionaires kill and leave it all behind if they are caught. ms felicia tang lee you were so beautiful and you are truly "gone too soon" like another great... ladies if you think he is something weird or if just .1percent believes then never be alone with him/her.

goldenbrass...what an intelligent post for those who can read see. My heart cries for this girl. She did nothing wrong. This isn't about christian or non-christian, believer or non-believer. It's about ownership, power, greed, and lust. That .1 percent feeling something isn't right might save your life.

way to put labels on EVERYONE.

My heart goes out to Felicia's family. God (pun intended)forbid, if the jury is consisted of bible thumbers as I have seen the posts here. What a sad world we live in. So much crap about the bible but so little about a real person being taken away.

You can not ever tell what a person is capable of, he was not living a truthful clean life, nor she. Both are products of our corupt greedy society.
Look at our culture no wonder the rest of the world hates us, it is very sad.
Christian or not the botton line is, what is the truth and how people live and how they treat others.
Sex, drugs lies all cause death in the end, and harm everyone and everything around them.

My heart goes out to Felicia's family and friends. May her memory never die and may her killer be rightfully punished.

The amount of hatred pointed at Christians in here is atrocious. I used to be agnostic because of what I term 'Sunday morning Christians'.

As it turns out, God has saved my life seven times from NDEs. He is real. Alas, so is Satan. Let's not let the devil off the hook. He has plans for your life if you give him the chance. Felicia's murderer was working for Satan.

Felicia got what she deserved for living such an evil, cowardly, sinful lifestyle.

And people wonder why America is going down the toilet...look at the ignorance and zealotry here. 'Brian's innocent', 'Felicia deserved it'...you people do not even consider what you're saying, do you?

Friends of mine partied with Felicia. They tell me she had become quite a cocaine user herself. There is a LOT more to this story.

actually he is right being a christian is the reason for most violence and i can testify to that myself. im not saying he was right for what he did but there had to be a reason behind it. sometimes people do ungodly things but we are suppose to learn from them not become just like him and if he turned to drugs that was a sign right there so all im going to say is hang in there to the family and friends and that hopefully one day i can help put a rest to all the homicides that havent been solved yet!!

I met Brian for two weeks, twelve years ago on a sailing trip. In that short period I totally and completely knew he was a creep. I am not at all surprised by this most horrific murder most likely committed by him. When I was with Brian, he had an entourage of young hot women with him supposedly under the guise of Christian Mime. BULLSHIT. He repeatedly took each young woman off individually on their own so he could instill the word of Christ into them. He wouldn't allow them to speak to anyone else. Cult leader wannabe. COMPLETE CREEP!!! Maybe the biggest creep I have ever been around. The jackass, under the pretense of being a pastor, actually STOLE BREAD off our sailboat. Could of asked, but no, a thief he was. Again, not at all surprised this most unfortunate murder happened by the hands of a complete weirdo like Brian.
May Felicia's family find peace, and the murderer have a long painful life in prison.

Brien and I have been friends now for many years. I must have talked too him within days before the murder. We had not talked for a while, he told me he had moved. He was living with his new girlfriend, I was a little shocked knowing Brien. He said this was the women he would probably marry. I always felt Brien had a great heart but had a war going on inside. He was on a dark path for sure. A sober Brien I don't believe could do this, but with the right combination of drugs and jealousy?

I met Brian several years ago, in 2000, and we dated a few times. We never had sex, although there was genuine chemistry there, I am cautious about who I get involved with. I thought he was very handsome and sweet, very gentle but passionate. He seemed conflicted between his faith and earthly desires, but I never felt in danger with him, he always treated me with respect. I liked him, but am a Buddhist, not a Christian, so I declined to get futher involved. He accepted my decision, but we stayed friends and he seemed disappointed but wished me well when I found someone else. He may seem weird to some, he was kind of unique, but I really don't think he would intentionally hurt anyone. After family and friends experiences, I don't trust the police or the justice system, so even if he is innocent, it is difficult for him and his attorney to get past all the prejudice, not only of the public, but also the police, the DA and the judge. I don't believe there is such a thing as a fair trial, especially in California, that is the real reason why our prisons are so overcrowded. The judge usually sides with the prosecution, so it is usually better to go to trial with a jury, at least you have a chance of a fair trial. I am so sorry for all the people involved in this tragedy, I'm sure he loved her deeply, and is having difficulty dealing with the loss. If he is to blame, it is,more than likely, drugs at the bottom of all of it. Drugs can do weird things to create a warped sense of reality, and over-ride common sense. By the way, with the recent budget cuts, one of the first things to go in California prisons is the drug rehabilitation program, and funny thing, most of the people are in prison because of crimes done under the influence of drugs. Brian tell the truth, whatever it is, get some help if you need it. If you are indeed innocent, get the best, most aggressive lawyer you can, if you can't afford one, maybe some friends can help. The rest of you negative people, look inside, or stick to the Jerry Springer show for your entertainment. Have some compassion for everyone involved, rather than kick someone when they're down. "Let the person without sin cast the first stone."

I have been a good friend of Brian for 11 years. He has been like a big brother to me. He would NEVER do this. It breaks my heart to hear what people are saying about him. He is an amazing person and not violent in any way. Brian is innocent.

I knew Brian about 8 years ago. He struck up a conversation with me while I was walking into a cafe with another man friend. I remember thinking to myself what a very assertive guy to do that. Turns out he ended up doing one of his talks at our church and over 20 people came up to give their lives to the Lord. He definitely had some kind of gift or charisma, but then again, God talks about some people, not all, that cast demons out of people and say Lord, Lord, etc., but when they get to heaven God says, "I never knew you." This might be one of these instances, where Brian was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Or he could be a true Christian who is a conflicted human being and now a murderer and will pay the consequences. I think it's a longshot, but I suppose he could've been framed by someone out to get him or Felicia. And if that's the case then I am truly sorry for having pre-judged him at all. Brian and I remained friends even though I think he wanted to date me. (I could tell that he liked women because he would talk about them a lot and also look at them constantly. He definitely used his persuasive techniques on women. I truly didn't realize the extent of this until later on.) I think he saw me as a strong Christian woman who didn't want to have casual sex, and honestly I think he thought I would be too high maintenance emotionally and spiritually because of it. (A normal Christian guy wouldn't think like that. He would cherish a woman like me.) Brian was never angry with me, but I was never in a true dating relationship with him either. I broke off friendship ties with him when one night he invited me out with a friend of his. His friend got drunk and needed a ride home and Brian asked me if I'd do it since Brian was tired and wanted to leave the cafe early. So I did and the guy ended up raping me in my own apartment (it's kind of hard thinking about this again). I was so traumatized that I've barely told a soul about it. I had a false sense of security driving this guy home because he was a friend of Brian's. Brian was becoming like a spiritual brother to me....or so I thought. After this incident, I knew that something wasn't right because who you hang out with and call your friends says a lot about you. I ran into Brian about 4 years later and told him I forgave him (because I didn't want to be angry at him anymore) and I really don't know if he understood because he just kept staring at me with a blank look. He seemed disconnected. Maybe he was a sociopath after all. Or on some kind of drug (if he did drugs back then he sure was good at hiding it from me). It's so sad because I do have some happy memories of going with him to several churches for his talks. I supported him as a friend back then. He was kind of sweet to me. We laughed a lot and talked a lot. I even watched Ultimate Fighting matches on his tv in his room with him. Now I cringe thinking about all the times I spent alone with him. One time he called to ask if he could stop by to use my shower because he was in the neighborhood working out. I feel like a naive idiot now thinking about how I rationalized that that was ok. Now I think it's quite an odd thing to ask, especially of the opposite sex, even if we were just friends. Thank God time moves on and I have a new life with my husband and children. Only God knows Brian's heart. Brian probably doesn't even know his own heart right now. I pray that both families find peace. And I am truly sorry about Felicia and the way she died. No human or animal should ever have to endure what that poor girl endured. I hope her spirit and soul is at peace and with God.

Brian, remember where you came from. Remember when the Lord called you to be his own. whatever happens, may the truth come forward. We serve a God of a second chance, also a just God. He can redeem any situation as well as heal where the devil intended to destroy. you can still make a difference even in prison. Your ministry spoke to so many...let God work through you again; it starts with truth, whatever that may be. He is able to do above all we can ask or think. My deepest sympathy and prayers to everyone hurt and involved.

This news has really shocked me. I actually went out with Brian when he lived in Texas back in, gosh, 1989 or so. He was into the mime ministry then. Before our first date, he had asked a mutual friend if I was a Christian because he did not want to ask me out if I was not. We went on a couple of dates, the most memorable to a park for a picnic where we just hung out and got to know each other.

Brian is not anyone I would suspect would do such a thing, but as mentioned by so many, sin is seductive and there is no telling what someone will get into for the wrong reasons.

I hold out for the courts to make their decisions on this case, but ultimately, it will be God who judges him.

Saying a prayer for all the friends and family involved in this. Very shocking news.

what do you get when nitroglycerin and a thermo nuclear explosion get together? That is correct if you say one hell of a hole in planet earth. Guess the same can be said of these two clowns. Too bad ms.Tang had to find out the hard way about mr. know it all. Even worse for her parents because they have to fly all the way in from Singapore for the burial.

hey. i know his family. his niece is my best friend.
i've met brian before. he did not kill this woman.
he was one of the coolest mother fuckers i met.
and had me cracking up with in five minutes of shaking his hand.

Hating all christians, I'll be praying for you because you don't know God we don't judge we pray for those that do wrong because we read Gods word that is truth. I'm sorry you are an atheist that's a frightening thought to have no hope :-(

I am old friend of Brian's and traveled over to Europe with him and with a mission group! He also lived with my family. He is the most kind person and has a good heart. Brian was the first person that reached out to me when I went through a hard time in my life. I will keep praying for his life and his family.

I know both Felicia and Brian seperately and together. Brian was a heavy drug user (cocaine, pot and extasy) and a party boy. He played hard and played even harder at after party's. If things didn't go his way he was controlling, aggressive and temperamental.

Felicia was the sweetest kindest girl and definitiely not a porn girl...her parts in adult film involved no sex simply stripping.

As for Brian being a minister well that is a joke...a so called minister who does heavy hard core drugs, drinks heavily, and hits up the wild LA party seen on a nightly basis! He deserves what he gets; to rot in jail for killing Felicia. A 6'4 195 lb man beating and torturing a 110 lb girl is not justifiable by any means.

I can't wait til the day I open up the paper and read about this scumbag beaten to death in prison. Only a matter of time. See ya maggot.

I can understand why some of you are mad at christians. I am one. Christians are humans too. I know Brian personally, it was very shocking to hear he did this. And he will stand before the Lord someday and have to answer to Him(may God have mercy on him). But remember what Jesus said, let the man with no sin cast the first stone.

ok first off, in our wonderful country EVERYONE is innocent until proven guilty, and if anyone of you actulley knew him you would understand. he is not that type of guy and it saddens me to see what the media can do to a person's reputation. SO unless you have some FACTUAL evidence than why dont we all just keep our mouths shut and stop spreading lies that can lock up an innocent man for life? huh? yeah thought so!

Thank you Kate. Very well said. I have known Brian for about 6 years we never dated, just were close friends. I met Felicia as well a couple of times. Brian is a very kind gentle person and so was Felicia. As far as Brian being 6'4" as Kayla stated, that is a complete lie, as was not 6'4", people just like making the story seem more intense. Similar to the woman suggesting something happened to her son above. I'm sorry, but that doesn't add up. You never wanted to ask your son what happened? If I thought something happened to my son, I would ask! And Kayla, as far as drugs are concerned, did you see the article stating that there was Cocain, GHB and alcohol in her blood when she died? I don't say this to try and demegrate Felica, just making sure both sides of the story are equally represented. I wish people would stop making such a big deal about the Chistianity and Porn star aspect of the story. He was a Christian and he was very involved in it during his younger years, but during the time that I have known him his life was pretty average for a succesful L.A. bachelor. He worked hard every day running his succesful business in telecommunications (not acting or mime), dated, and had a very active social life. He enjoyed going out dancing and meeting people as he was a very upbeat, outgoing friendly person. The tragedy that happened had nothing to do with his religous views or her having done soft porn modeling. There was a terrible accident that happened and the story will be told in court.
