IMHO, Gabby's mom wanted to keep the focus on the search for her, not on what, at the time, was a distraction from the search.
Gosh, I thought the mom had said this in just the past 72 hours. If anyone knows when she actually said that (and has a link), I'd sure appreciate it.
We discussed her statement all day yesterday, and most of us thought it was a new story. So if we're wrong, we need to get that into the media thread.
Exactly (MOO) and let's assume this is what occurred (that it is legit). 5 days to move boxes from a storage unit? (I say 5 giving benefit of doubt as 2 of those days being travel on the front and back end). People move entire homes in a day. Nothing about this adds up unless he was being vindictive, left and initially had no plan to return or; his parents or sister or he himself forced the break for a cool-down period. This in MOO. We know none of these facts. We may eventually though. MOO.
Length of stay could have been entirely decided by cheap last minute airfare arrangements.
Did you catch what date they'd need to return? This could be part of their ongoing fight.
The incident was resolved without an arrest - suggest reading the police report. They did not have a court date. They
would have had a court date if both of them were charged - no telling when, but certainly not at their convenience.
If they were out of money, Whose Capitol One Debit Card was stolen? Dads?
Gabby had two Capitol One cards of her own. It's been discussed here several times and is in the media thread.
Gabby had been working at Taco Bell, 50 or more hours per week to save money for this trip.
My last post was aborted in the thread closure. The gist of it was to say that many keep posting that Gabby planned to meet Rose at Yellowstone on the 29th of august..........NO!!!!! Gabby was to call Rose on Rose's birthday, the 29th and they would make plans to meet at some later date depending upon their respective travel plans, possibly at Yellowstone. Rose never received the birthday call so no plans were made because Gabby was likely deceased by the 29th. IMO Gabby was deceased late in the day on the 27th. jmo
Thank. you. Those of us who have followed this case very closely would agree with you. I think a lot of us think Gabby's demise was on the 27th, after the Merry Piglet debacle.
Also, you are correct about what Rose said and I believe Rose confirmed it again recently. And Rose doesn't live near Yellowstone - she would have had to book flights to W. Yellowstone to get there on the 29th. Expensive. I believe it was more likely that Rose may have planned to meet up with them when they were closer to Portland, their trip end-point.
What Gabby and Brian planned to do after Portland is unclear to me.
Sell the van? Fly home? Drive back to FL by the quickest route?
Some FBI/former FBI on the Banfield show or some other news show I was watching the other day said that Brian is unarmed and not dangerous. I don't know if that was a leak of information by mistake.
It was former FBI. I don't know how he would know that.
