Yeah it's awful. This is why Social workers need to have a more prominent place in these situations. Cops aren't meant for this.

Or let's change the bro toxic masculine culture amongst cops in addition to considering the involvement of social workers.
It's not a person. In the 4K version you can tell it's just part of the ground.Ah ok. Cause many people in the comments said they would see someone in the back doing something, I guess they meant this?
And I couldn't stop thinking about that after reading where they found her....
R.I.P.
She was found much further from the road.
By this point it's likely. Dude's about to get his parents sent off for aiding and abetting while he's on the run
Good luck with the rest too. Changing cops for social workers, that's going to take a heck lot of work too because of the system in place. Might work on both at the same time and see what sticks.
yah it smelled like this from the beginning to be honest. His IG doesn't really paint him in the brightest light.
Without his parents to lean on, I picture this story would have been one and done after he figured his only option was to call police. I picture they guided/instructed him the best they could while telling him it's going to be alright.
Just curious where this was confirmed? All news sources say it was "consistent" i see nothing confirmed it was her though highly likely.
Not confirmed because they have to run DNA, but it's more than likely her. I'm sure they saw identifying marks like tats.
Yeah but that timeline def shouldnt say confirmed yet then until it is however slim it may be
Her father was also in the area helping with the search. Like got him or the mother to visually confirm. Saying it is 100% her at this time is likely just some legal paperwork that has not been completed.
The investigators were confident enough to offer condolences to her family yesterday. No doubt they couldn't say anything was definitive without an autopsy, but their statement made it sound like that was a formality as far as identification is concerned.
Yeah they can be hit with both. If they can show they aided him immediately after the murder to hide evidence or the body and if they can prove they helped him run. Both of them aren't reaches based on their very public actions.
It's weird I understand the love a parent has for a child and usually it's noble but I legit want them to throw the book at his parents about as much as I want them to find him.
It's one thing to love and try to protect your child. Like I understand they may not know what happened, but they knew it wasn't good. I understand even getting him a lawyer. But to go cold silent and not say ANYTHING to Gabby's family. Someone who was about to be your daughter in law? Nah. They knew something. They didn't bother to report that girl missing the entire time Brian was back?
Again they knew something. Personally I'll find it hard to believe they didn't know he killed her at some point before the body was found. At the very least they knew he left her behind to fiend for herself.
They've acted like they were attempting to stall or even thwart the investigation from the start. The fact they didn't report him missing until after the police came to the home looking for him is the biggest FU of all. To put it into context, their actions scream of people knowledgeable of the law, using that knowledge to get around the law. Their small fries now, but I hope the DA comes for them eventually.
Unless the parents are taking a willfully active role in the coverup attempt. Their statement tomorrow should be interesting.
It's a little weird it hasn't been confirmed yet, like DNA can't take that long to process in this day and age.
I'm betting that the lawyer's statement tomorrow tries to paint Gabby in a bad light and claim she was the main abuser in the relationship. Its really the only play they have left; attack the victim.
They said Tuesday, yesterday. So they knew how long it would take from the start. With the pandemic, it could be that the coroner office is currently overwhelmed. There are also probably lots of different factors that I can't even think of, like maybe they wanted certain people involved with it.
I mean the autopsy is tomorrow but her father(s) are pretty much accepting the fact that the body is identified as her.
It's not just DNA. They probably don't need DNA in this case anyway. But they do need a full forensic examine before they can official "confirm" it's her. DNA is only one part. Dental records are what usually confirm a body
It could be a Federal prosecutor at this point since the FBI is on the case. She was found in a national park and I believe that is an FBI thing. The police are just there to assist at this point.
It's gut wrenching and upsetting to think on. The only remaining hope is that Brian is caught and gives an accurate and honest account so at least the parents can have something to process and, with time, get any amount of closure over those final days. From his actions since returning though, I'm not holding out hope and that is just awful.
I can see that.... such a coward act, but also is what you'd expect.
Damn what a fucked up story. Would not be surprised he lied to his parents and parents being….parents they believed him.
Daily reminder too that Gabby was Brian's fiance and that the parents knew Gabby like family, she literally has lived with them for over a year.
Its pretty clear there was a very toxic relationship at play. The Guy hated her ambitions and instead of going their separate ways so he could do whatever he wanted and let her live her dream he instead opted to stick around and shit all over her dreams until it got toxic enough he killed her.
Yup that's one of the huge red flags. She lived with them for over a year and was their future Daughter in law and yet they have shown nothing but cold indifference. I mean ghosting her family for weeks and then all the bullshit. They can claim innocence until the day they die but there is no way they are.
I watched the entire body cam footage when it came out and one of the officers (about halfway in or so) specifically talked about what the witness said, (or "talked to the witness") and recalled how the witness did not see Brian hitting Gabby at all. That was a CRUCIAL point of information that led them deciding to have Gabby be the aggressor and Brian the victim (well, that information plus both of them not wanting to accuse each other and Gabby ultimately taking the blame).
So my question is…how the hell did the officer get that interpretation when the recording CLEAR AS DAY says that the guy was slapping the girl..and repeated that fact when asked to confirm. What…? Why did they not get that information when doing the roadside investigation and checkup? I just don't understand. That to me is a huge fuckup. This entire horror show could have ended then and there. Really upsetting…

My wife is a social worker. They don't want to work with potentially dangerous men in these situations. It's never going to happen.
I don't believe the timeline would be grounds for an arrest.
Well, I can't say I blame them. The thing is that, the whole training for social workers and Police officer is likely incompatible, so how are you going to suddenly ask for social workers to jump on the field and deal with them? That is unless you drop them with Police officers, but then, the dynamic is entirely different.
Also, I know it's been known for the longest time but every time I read anything around this part it absolutely sickens me.
Yeah and with the proof he arrived back on 9/1, that is a decent amount of time to plan a next move before she was reported missing. If he had help, he could be anywhere.
I think the grandpa/Stan text was prompted because her grandpa was calling her phone frequently asking for help (tech stuff maybe?) and Brian was trying to get her mom to help the grandpa with it so he would stop calling. Maybe he thought the grandpa would tell the parents that Gabby wasn't answering and it would have caused their alarm bells to go off earlier. If this was on the 27th and it in fact was Brian sending the text this would have more than likely been in the first several hours after her passing.
Yeah they would have to work together but it's still dangerous.
Big yikesFrom the warrant - the last text exchange between 'Gabby' and her mother and why she suspected it wasn't her texting:
Also, I know it's been known for the longest time but every time I read anything around this part it absolutely sickens me.
My wife is a social worker and she left field work specifically because of this.
They won't "arrest" the parents because they immediately lawyered up. They aren't going to answer questions, and there isn't any evidence to charge them at this point.
When people don't talk to the police, it generally takes quite a bit of time to get charges happening. The chance of being charged in any crime goes dramatically down when you don't speak to the police or when witnesses don't.
They may never be able to develop a case though; we'll have to see.. but it could be weeks or months before charges if they can find evidence of wrongdoing by the parents.
