I live in the area and also work with people with autism. I don’t find it strange that if Jubi said “you’ll never see me again” to his brother it got ignored. He could have bern doing something called “scripting” which is where he heard something on a tv show or movie and just repeats it. The fact that the brother ignored they statement means to me that Jubi probably repeated non-sensical things frequently.

I want to clarify that the brother did not ignore it; he asked him what he meant but Jubi said to just forget it.
“[G] was telling Jubi goodnight and he said, ‘'I’m never going to see you again,’” [J] told Dateline. “He was like, 'What do you mean?' And Jubi said, 'Nothing, I’ll talk to you later.'”

It doesn't strike me as autistic scripting or echolalia to me. JMO.
