100% they do! End of the day he’s the last person with her and he knows what happened! If something happens to him they might never find her!!IMO, they also want to keep him alive.

Ha, nice thought, but don't be hoodwinked. I think those videos were staged ones, filmed just for their website. They wanted to show the world what a fabulous time they were having!
Of course they did. They wanted to be professional vanlifer influencers.
Behind the scenes, I think it was radically different. I'm certain their trip was fraught with different opinions, mental strife, money worries and unstable behaviour, living in a confined space in uncomfortable heat with limited access to showers and healthcare.
That's real vanlife, but no-one will want to show that side of it!

Abandoning your girlfriend in a national park and taking her vehicle indicates wildly inappropriate behavior, IMO.
Maybe
Your right... we don't know about the back country permit... I just saw today the park rangers said they were searching back country... I'm not sure what area that is.... but I found that you could park overnight in parking lots with that permit and I trying to see where they might have parked the van....since I had my doubts about Jackson hole or Jackson Idaho.... seems to far a distance to hike from van... so where could the van park... and maybe nearer to where BL was dropped off. JMO and no evidence about the van....Is there evidence they had a backcountry permit? They really don't seem to be the "overnight in the wilderness" types. And they'd have to have had sleeping bags? Is there any evidence they had a habit of even hiking? Maybe they did some selfies at key locations, but their "backcountry" experience seems more like "car camping" at regulated dispersed camping sites.
And I can't wrap my head around the money. They seemed to spend some nights at hotels? This would eat up funds very quickly. If you're clever, you can often find places to plug in quarters and get yourself a shower and not need a hotel/motel/hostel to get clean. You've got to be very lucky to find a National Park that has showers (sigh), but it's not impossible to scrub up at your campsite or boil some hot water at a picnic table, or some sort of public shower....
we see this so much in social media fake happiness look at the watts
IMO, they helped him leave the country & they know exactly where he is.
Reasons I believe he is not even there....unless he brought along a rope.
Kid wouldn't even last a night imo.
Gabby was reading about the Zodiac Killer does that mean she has murderistic (not a word, I know) tendencies? Chuck Palahniuk is a popular novelist. Just because Brian read his stuff doesn’t make him a killer.My hunch in this case is that Gabby was murdered, the two women murdered maybe by him as well, and he won’t be around to tell any info. All the strange art, the serial killer book, lack of friends, possessive behavior according to Gabby’s friend, even his statement about the national parks being “infested” with humans…just lead me to believe he was troubled individual.
People kill people they love and have great regret. We don't know what happened or how he feels. We may never know : (Gabby was supposed to be the love of his life ‘Until death do us part” from his Instagram. I wonder if he even misses her and has any remorse?
It would be super helpful if we knew his typical behaviour in a stressful situation. Did he sometimes take off for a few days? Then come back a day or two later, more subdued, with his tail between his legs.
This could be something that sparked his parents concern. Because I am not seeing why they bothered to reveal he is missing at all, if they are not concerned for his life.
I would imagine that the police know. It is just that we don't know.
I wonder if he is in phone contact with his parents - probably not his phone now that FBI has access to the usage, maybe one of his parents gave him their phone to call on. I truly believe this is another false lead, and he is out of Florida. Possibly with a trusted family friend or relative. He would have to be driven out, I hope that the FBI has alerted bus, train, airplane to watch for his ID being used to buy a ticket. MOOGood thinking.
The basis of your thought is correct, what did he do in past stressful situations? That would be his filter and behavior and could offer some insight. A parents filter would be elevated to concern and protect as this isn’t a typical stressful situation. He is a POI in his girlfriends missing persons case. He didn’t go over his credit card limit, get a speeding ticket, etc.
Concern would have kicked in the very night he didn’t come home IMO. How did they expect him to get home if they picked up the car? Why take the car if they thought he was fine at that point and would drive it back in a few days?
Spitballing thoughts…
Of note, this poster includes a photo of the back of the van with stickers from places they have visited on it. This should help with verifying sightings of the van.GABRIELLE PETITO — FBI

Unless these people are investigators hired by Gabby’s parents they need to stop clout chasing. The headline makes it seem like those things are being done when really we have no idea and neither does that guy.California licensed private investigator of nearly 30 years, Bill Garcia says authorities are using cell phone pings, tracking devices and license plate readers to help.
"There is a lot of the technology out there to be utilized, it's just that we are not hearing about it as much because of the concerns for Gabby at this point,” Garcia said from Lake Tahoe.
Garcia has assisted in high profile San Diego County searches, including Danielle Van Dam, Jahi Turner, and more recently Maya Millette, the Chula Vista mom, who has been missing since January 7 with weekly searches conducted.
In Gabby Petito's case, Garcia says there has to be gas station surveillance somehow for Brian Laundrie to have driven from Wyoming to Florida.
“A very long section of this country to search for, that is why I'm sure law-enforcement is being very diligent about tracking the cameras,” Garcia said.
