Her brother stated that they had asked TS about joining the searches and she was going to connect with AS. Then as time went on the family felt like they were being questioned by LE. Their feeling that they were being judged was on point-- the public, social media and LE were scrutinizing TS which reflects on them. Heck, deputies were all around them-- large numbers of officers. The scrutiny was justified because she had killed him, hid him and, ultimately, dumped him. His testimony was important from my POV because he wanted to believe her/support her, did believe/support her, and when he realized that GS was probably in that suitcase he knew she killed him. From that day to this, he appears not to be in touch with her. It goes to show that murder does affect all who are in contact with a victim and their murderer. JMHO.
