It appears that the van was always with Gabby, regardless. The Florida trip that Brian took from August 17-23 was by airplane, while the van was parked outside of the hotel that Gabby was staying at. Her and her friend were supposed to just *discuss* plans and they were supposed to meet up some time in September. Gabby didn’t answer her phone calls on August 29. Then the fake text message was sent from her phone to her mom on August 30, which read “No service in Yosemite” when her body was discovered in Spread Creek. Her phone was turned off from that day forward. He used her bank cards on the way home. He doesn’t notice that essentially all of her important belongings are still in the van?
Authorities also don’t have the phone Laundrie had with him on the couple’s trip nor do they have Gabby’s phone. Neither phone was in Gabby’s van, which Brian drove back to Florida.
Did it say somewhere what they found all her personal belongings in the van ? I thought I read he didn’t have a phone along these threads. If they where budgeting and normally always with her and only had her phone and she had it. If he didn’t have his own phone it would make sense why he would get one when he returned back. If he didn’t take it with him maybe it’s not an addiction of his to carry. Most obvious explanation is he is guilty he is the last person known to be with her. But he drove home and stayed there two weeks not leaving til the parents called looking for her and then he was supposedly seen driving a truck saying he trying to get back to his girlfriend out west after a fight. To him she is missing and he left her and needs to get back there. They both read crime books I can’t see him being stupid enough to go home and sit around for two weeks waiting to run til he knew his gig was up. Doesn’t make sense. The character descriptions of him all seem circumstantial. They were together a long time and referred to as relationship goals. I haven’t researched his personality other than what’s been said on here and it seems like jumping to the attack of someone noone really knows because he is a person that people should hate if he killed someone. JMO. I’m sure
If I followed along I probably would be right on board with just reverting to he’s guilty but seeing it all at once and looking at the timeline of events without emotions and assumptions tied to following it along the timeline IMO is he learned she was in trouble when everyone else did. He left her there because that was her thing to do. By saying he should never leave a female behind (someone replied to me before) isn’t that saying she can’t do this adventure on her own so if she didn’t want to drive the van long distances her only choice would be to abandon her plans. From the other women who were interviewed with this carefree lifestyle it’s something they meet up and the one said she is sure she would have met her at some point because they actively seek eachother out. To say she couldn’t do this without him is not much different than her saying in the police video that he didn’t think she could do it. Apparently many think a women needs a man to travel.
You do know she is dead, right? He left her there, dead. Took her van, used her cc, ignored her frantic parents calls, left his car at the reserve to throw off LE, and on and on.
All of this happened just days after someone called 911 on him for slapping her in public.
If it walks like a duck...
Jm
I do know she is dead but I don’t see waddles…. I see someone seeing someone in yellow and assuming a duck.
1) Here people said she didn’t drive the van, he did. That she didn’t like driving the van and has anxiety issues. So why would she want to drive it home alone if it made her uncomfortable to drive? Is it assumed she didn’t like driving the van or is it she would be okay driving it home 30+ hrs alone? IMO it isn’t surprising he would be responsible for driving it home since his job was the driver… JMO. He left her I get but unless they have camera footage of him walking out and her dead your assuming that he left her dead. He hitchhiked and got picked up by a witness -that’s a fact. According to everyone he freaked out and had them drop him off. I haven’t read on this yet but wouldn’t that person be a witness that he was off hiking and not there. It isn’t a duck. It would be something to not be his word against hers otherwise he says I walked off and they say prove it. There’s the person who saw him hitchhiking. A witness. Seems it would be more wanted than anything.
2) Used her cc— being in a committed relationship where it’s “them” not him or her on a road trip maybe she had the bank account. My husband for years into our marriage had the bank account. He still considered it our money. We eventually did get around to making it officially ours because he was like if something happened to me you need to know how to access stuff. It may have been a natural thing for them. I was an official “authorized user” but it didn’t give me ability to call them and discuss the account. So maybe it was common place in their relationship to use that card for gas. Nothing to say he didn’t normally carry it. So unless you know the way they handled the card on the road and that she never let it off her person the it isn’t a duck. It did get a warrant for him so that’s great!
3) Ignored her frantic parents calls? The duck I see is that they went two weeks without knowing where their daughter was. No way would my daughter no matter how old he on. A road trip and I wouldn’t daily be making sure she is okay. She’s not even 6 right now but at 22 I would still want to make sure she didn’t fall off a cliff or break down someplace. It surely wouldn’t be two weeks. Then when they did realize she went missing (her father said in McCullen interview that was the 11th but it was the 10th according to the police incident). So the parents frantic calls were the 10th and of he was still sitting round his parents and remained there for (what was it 2 days after) that isn’t a duck. He could have felt they would be angry he left her there on her own. I would be pissed if my daughters bf left her out there alone too. I also wouldn’t want to talk to them. When he hears she is missing he then takes off and according to a witness asking for directions to go see his girlfriend. So the only duck is he was home til days after he learned she was missing. The duck is why if he killed her did he sit around two weeks before leaving? Why did her family wait two weeks to figure out why that hadn’t heard from her? It’s assumed in the matter of hours between them calling to enquire on her whereabouts and then calling the police (I’m not sure time of day all went down but it was on the same day according to timeline) that any of them actually saw the messages to ignore and that police weren’t involved by time they saw them and had time to talk and respond. It all went fast on 9/10. So it’s not a duck their either. Something yellow raced by and you assumed a duck because they called them then called the police in a matter of hours after ignoring two weeks of no word.
3) They said they left car at reserve to throw of LE? Seems a big admission and one that would have them in jail. Or is it an assumption? Not a duck. Or did he drive to the reserve as police indicate by searching there still, not exit as police still search there and they removed the car because it was going to be towed. It doesn’t sound like the reserve is too far from the house. The car a car with a story noone knows. Not a duck.
4) “All of this happened just days after someone called 911 on him for slapping her in public.” Is this the police video? Or is there more than one 911 call? Because that video if he slapped her I thought I read it didn’t appear she was injured but she hit him with a cell phone and he had injuries? So it seems like DV would go both directions in that incidence. Or is it ok for a women to hit a man? I teach my boys they are never to hit a women and if they are being hit to walk away and not hit back no matter what. No matter what it’s not ok because you have the option to walk away. Did he walk away and hitchhike because it got physical?
If it walks like a duck... you are assuming ducks. Whenever a women goes missing the man is always the first and most obvious cause. But it isn’t a duck it’s a lot of assumptions.
