Something is standing out to me about Brian’s need to call Gabby his “fiancée” and particularly his anxiety for others to know this (JMO). Notably:
- In the new body cam footage (released yesterday) right at the start he asks LE something which sounds like “Gabrielle told you I’m her fiancé right” (paraphrase)
- In first body cam footage released, after he gets out of the car he again pointedly asks if they spoke to his “fiancée” before switching to "Gabby" when the officers react confused/mishear (most likely because people don’t generally refer to each other like this).
- Mentioned by an eye witness that in a tuck/souvenir shop that when Gabby was talking to the worker there Brian asked if she had told her they were engaged (or something like that) - this struck her as odd (I believe this encounter was mentioned in MSM and I think one of the documentaries aired last weekend - anyone have a link/reference?)
Anyways, my point is that from a psychological perspective (not a qualified psychologist but have studied) this preoccupation suggests to me an insecure/anxious attachment style. For further details refer to this link

JMO but I think it gives us a clue into BL's mindset including what could possibly have driven BL to overreact and lash out at Gabby. Any indication from her that they were not the “team” that he needed them to be e.g. her apologising in the Merry Pig’s restaurant without his knowledge could be perceived by him as a direct threat.
