I agree. I watched her parents' press conference yesterday and their devastation is gut wrenching. If his parents helped him, they deserve almost as much punishment as he does.

I'm sure the parents have some idea of his plans.

I also bet their story will be along this outline:

  • Brian came home without Gabby and told us that she had left him.
  • Brian said he was very hurt that Gabby broke up with him and wanted to camp to clear his head and process things.
  • We dropped him off so he could camp and hike, but at that point did not know that Gabby was missing.
  • Whoever Gabby was with after she broke up with Brian probably killed her.
  • We went to the place and time we had planned to meet with him on Sept 14th, but he didn't show up and has been missing ever since.
  • We miss our son and want him back safely.
  • We hope the police and FBI find the real killers of Gabby, but Brian didn't do it.

'Talk to our lawyer.' seems to be working for them thus far. But, that's a good story absent Brian squealing or other evidence surfacing.

I dont know what to think. I know it's crazy and whatever the outcome it is unfortunate. Gabby looked very sweet.

It's actually kind of amazing someone is actually doing the only thing any defense attorney actually wants them to do.

He drove for hours/days in a van that wasn't his. Which means he had ample time to alert his parents, her parents, or any number of friends, about the fact that they broke up and she stayed behind with a complete stranger, and no means of transportation home. Whatever story he may have given them upon his arrival home, they had to have known it was weird that he was alone in her van.

We haven't seen anything suggesting he contacted anyone after he killed Gabby other than driving home.

I'm not suggesting this is what happened. I am suggesting this would be their story so they don't get hit with Aiding/Abetting.

As a parent of 2 children whom I love more than anything in the world, what befell Gabby's parents is the worst that could happen.

That's my point. How does someone travel all the way across the country by themselves without talking to someone they love about a major breakup with the person they were supposed to marry? And on top of that, take the ex-partner's van like she would have been ok with that.

The van is a good point, but I think the police body cam footage did him a big favor there. The police officer tells Gabby he is giving her the keys to the van so she can drive it to a hotel, and she asks the police officer if it is close by, as she does not usually drive the van and is nervous about doing so.

I'm assuming he is just going to say that Gabby told him to drive the van home and she'd pick it up later.

I couldn't do it, but if he is a guy that is comfortable surviving in the mountains for 6 weeks on crackers like his old coworkers said, he could probably drive two days while listening to Spotify.

Keeping the van alone is a much bigger problem for him, but not so much his parents. She was on the police body cam saying she didn't want to drive the van, so his story is probably that they were going to sell it, and she wanted him to drive it back, because she didnt trust herself driving it cross country.

Think she used to be xpunkrockchickx or somesuch, but people kept replying to her posts/comments with "That is so not punk rock" and she tired of it, so changed her username. Guessing she kept the x prefix and suffix so people would still know it is her.

I may have her confused with someone else, though.

After watching body cam footage and the one video she uploaded this statement was curious because in the video she posted there are several different times where she is driving like it isn't a big deal to her. In the grand scheme it really doesn't matter but why say you don't like driving the van when you have in the past or maybe she just meant driving it by herself. IDK

My wife has her own car and drives normally, but doesn't really like it, especially in bigger cars. So any road trip, I drive 100%.

She also may not have wanted to drive it when she was so upset.

Ultimately, Brian could make up any excuse and since Gabby is dead, it is hard to refute. Gabby not wanting to drive a big van that gets blown around on the highways with strong wind gusts is absolutely plausible, though. I know my wife wouldn't want to do that, even if she felt fine driving it on a normal road.

Goes along with the narrative above. Text mom and dad: "Gabby left me, wants me to drive the van home and get it ready to sell. She will fly to Tampa in a month or two after spending time with her friends in the mountains"

Gives a logical reason to have the van, a logical reason to thoroughly clean the van, and a reason why he is driving alone.

Just playing devil's advocate here... he could claim that since he didn't have a phone, and since pay phones hardly exist, he couldn't contact them. I mean, he could borrow a phone somewhere, or hit an internet cafe to email them, or whatever, but it's plausible he just drove for a couple days figuring he'd see them soon enough.
