You think the parents know why? Like think he told them?

I don't understand what his parents are thinking. Do they actually think he can run away or do they now realize hes in over his head and probably killed himself?
if hes dead then the parents are all we have and i imagine a lawyer would encourage them to take it to their graves.

Was she an only child? It's hard to even imagine what her parents are going through. Easy for me to talk online but if this happened to my kid the only thing that would keep me in line regarding the other parents would be my other kids needing me out of jail.
Considering how much of an obstacle they've been for the investigation, I would be SHOCKED if he didn't tell them. They're absolutely acting like accessories.
So assuming he is guilty (which has been a pretty safe bet since the beginning) and he rushed home and told his parents and they aided and abetted his run and kept the knowledge secret from the police, can/will they be charged in some way?
If it turns out Brian's family diverted the police, could they be charged with accessory after the fact?
Its appalling we actually had comments saying they'd give their kids a 2-3 day head start. Like wtf?
You realize two of those people who said those things were her parents, right? It's ok to have hope that the worst didn't happen, even in the face of unspeakable odds. Deep down everyone knew the unfortunate truth, even her family I imagine. Innocent people don't simply abandon a loved one and then clam up behind a lawyer.
Probably. But they have been very good so far at protecting themselves. They haven't spoken to police without a lawyer yet, even when they reported Brian was missing. They would have to slip up or confess to it most likely unless they can find a way to prove it.
Only if they have some kind of evidence of this, like a text message or something. The fact that it's obvious by just thinking about it wouldn't be enough to bring charges or have a jury convict.
Fucking awful. With so many eyes on this it's not like Brian can hide easily. It's a matter of time before he turns up, whether his parents were truthful about where he went or not.
no, that's probably the coroner's van, but it's pretty close to where a youtube couple spotted their van on the side of the road on the 27th
The tent where they found her body appears to be right across the creek (chopper's looking south)
Wait, hold up.
There's credible info that the van, when spotted in that Youtube video, was parked not far from where Gabby's body was just discovered? There's a lot of info, so many apologies if this should be easy to figure out, but I'm swamped looking at so much related to this.
He did it. He sent texts from her phone pretending to be her after she was dead. That was pretty clear before they found her body, but now there's no reasonable doubt.
this really gives me flashbacks to the Kristen smart case and how Paul's family handled things. At least with a body they can progress the case now.
I have unfortunately only been following this story in passing, but how on earth was the male suspect not kept an eye on when her van, with no presence of her, is in his possession? That should have been the red flag to link that and being unable to get into contact with her.
While you're right, pretty sure they're talking about people on this forum.
If it's a state charge it's hardly even worth going after the parents for accessory after the fact, it's a slap on the wrist for family members. But I'm confused where all the charges are going to come from.
Nothing official yet. If I were to speculate I believe it was most likely a moment of rage,they got into a verbal argument that turned physical and he most likely strangled her in a fit of rage.
yes. That video is likely how they found her body.
I can't get a confirmation as to how close this was, but yes, the van was caught on camera on August 27th parked near there and was likely the reason why the police were searching in this area.
I have heard 3 miles, I have heard a lot closer. But it was relatively close regardless.
Maybe somebody else can confirm the distance.

All the cowards who defended this guy and implored everyone to give him and his parents the benefit of the doubt in lieu of showing common sense and human decency, you are clearly wrong and need to own up to the bullshit you spouted. Get in here and explain yourselves, and show the qualities you clearly lacked during this whole thing.
I don't care if this gets me in trouble I am so mad right now. I feel awful for Gabby's family and may she herself find peace, where ever she is.

With the timing and everything, it sure seems like it
Seems likely. The media have been at his house since Tuesday evening. Appparently though he was already gone before they got there because they never laid eyes on him and missed when he left for a hike that day (according to the liar parents)
there were people defending the obvious murderer.
Defense for everything is what I learned
If it happened on federal property, could it be tried in a federal court?

I got called a keyboard warrior and told to fuck off because I said any parent that defends and hides a murderer is scum.
if the car isn't in his name and he did some criminal acts across state lines on federal property couldn't it be federal?
Well it sounds like the murder charge could but I'm uncertain if that would apply to events that happened after the fact in Florida. I have no idea and don't want to give the impression that I have any expertise here.
Briefly read about this story and holy shit! RIP Gabby.
And I hope they catch the man responsible!

Not asking in a snarky way, but is there a reason why this is getting so much attention compared to other murder/missing persons stories?
Her parents holding out hope that their daughter is still alive is a bit different than hypothesizing on a forum that she dumped her boyfriend for some other dude, overdosed, or fell off a cliff doing a photo stunt. Anything to deny the abundantly obvious and give Brian a completely unearned benefit of the doubt.
1. Young white woman.
2. She was a social media influencer and was doing the "van life" thing. That has exploded interest.
I don't think it's a problem if people here want to believe the best too. I admit I was unsure after the police cam video because I could definitely see her leaving him after finding out he was telling her she wasn't capable of doing a travel vlog. But no matter how much I wanted her to be alive, it always came back to him getting a lawyer and refusing to even talk to her family. Not the actions of an innocent man.

RIP Gabby.
And fuck everyone who turned off their brains and defended Brian like any of the nonsense they were spouting made any sense.
Congrats on your free fucking defense of a murderer. Be sure to list that as a proud life accomplishment.

It's the story in the headlines at the moment as well as what people mentioned.
Things that get a lot of media coverage tend to continue getting that coverage I think
My daughter is a couple years younger than Gabby, and all I can think about is the people that loved and cared about Gabby. I don't know how devastated I'd be if I lost my daughter in this way.
The worst part is people not treating this as real people and real lives that are affected.

Honestly this whole thing is far from over and like…talking about people from now two locked threads is a recipe to get this thread locked so let's not do that please. I don't want to follow this case on Twitter i want to follow it here.
