AITA for taking my (23m) brother on a road trip?

So I (27m), found out that our father (39m) had gone missing. So I drove to see my little brother, who was at Uni to see if he was able to come and look for our dad with me.

My little brother, has managed to settle down at law school with his girlfriend but despite that he was willing to drop everything to help me look for dad.

The issue is, whilst we were out on our road trip looking for dad, His girlfriend was murdered.... And I kinda blame myself because my little brother might have been able to save her.

On top of that, I kinda got my brother involved in some of my illegal dealings, that led to us both getting placed on the FBI wanted list, so now my little brother can't go back to law school even if he wanted to.

AITA?

“…The ship is overtaken, you’re being captured, and it doesn’t even matter to Stede in that moment because Blackbeard has come back. You’re both in shackles and handcuffs, lying down. So that buildup to that moment, tell me about getting to that point with your characters: what you kind of gone through, and what it all meant in that moment. Because even we see the foot slide over, ‘cause you can’t really like touch hands or connect but you did in that way.”
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.  At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer. 
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.  
At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.  At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.  At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it. 
Never tell yourself you missed your chance. 
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough. 
You can do it. Whatever it is.
