Because cooperating with the police should NOT be used against you in a court of law.

Basically the only people who benefit are those who can afford attorneys.

The only people who are harmed are those who cannot.

Whether Brian is guilty or not, cooperating with the police could have harmed him (about 3-5% of innocent people are in jail). So advising him to not cooperate was smart. But that's not right for society.

Also, we have a system where people are determined to be guilty before trial -- e.g., Casey Anthony who was found innocent of murder (incidentally, why are so many of these people in Florida -- OJ, etc?). So to avoid that "judgement" in the court of public opinion, people need to run and reinvent themselves (even if they are innocent).

I'm sad for the girl who is dead at such a young age but I'm also sad for our justice system because the boy has been determined to be guilty because he is following legal advice not to cooperate with police. What a messed up system.

False. There is a constitutional right to counsel, and you don't need money to have a public defender. And Casey Anthony was found "not guilty," not found innocent.

It is always a bad idea to talk to the police. It’s a bad idea if you’re innocent. It’s a bad idea if you’re guilty. They are never your friends and they are never on your side. It is not immoral for his attorney to advise him of such.

Thank you. I think this guys a murderous shit, but I’ve been in an abusive marriage enough to deeply understand the truth of your statement.

This is the problem with our justice system and it needs to be fixed!

We should have focused on finding her -- possibly when she was still alive -- if he could have gone to police from the beginning and known that there were no repercussions for being honest on August 25.

It should NOT be "always a bad idea to talk to the police"!!! But it is.

He could have gotten counsel and then gone to the police - with counsel present.

I now wonder if Gabby lingered, alive but injured, and perished at some point after Brian left her.

Can the parents/brian be prosecuted for this if in fact she survived for a time and might have been saved if help had been sent earlier, like at the beginning of September?

Does Wyoming have the death sentence?

Yeah, it was the fact that he looked guilty that made him stonewall the police and go on the lam, not the dead fiancee he left behind when he drove away with her car. Let's change the entire concept of evidence because you cannot let go of your misplaced sympathy for a murderer!

+1. What the heck. This guy left behind a girl friend of many years without knowing where she was, drove her own van back to FL, and then disappears. Of course people think he's guilty (and it's not about the legal system). No critical thinking skills here.

Every. Single. Time.

Read the whole thread.

I have. "He didn't do anything! There was no crime! She checked herself into a mental hospital in the woods! It's not weird to take her car, she was a bad/unsure driver! There's no crime if there's no body, he's SMART to refuse to help the police! Okay there's a body so maybe it was a drifter! She fell off a cliff! She OD'ed! Sure he killed her but look at her Instagram account she's a useless drain on society who thought she deserved a public life!"

I am SO with you.

+2. so much victim blaming here.

Anything other than looking at the perp and his enabling family.

Brian Laundrie Possibly Spotted on Camera in FL, Cops Investigating

Anyone see this??

Someone had a deer camera and this person was seen on camera and the authorities are saying/thinking that there is a possibility that this could be Brian Laundrie.

What do you guys think?
He would have been like 500 miles from his own home.
Maybe he hitchhiked 👎🏽.

Fell for what? She was, in fact, missing. It wasn't like it was a hoax.

Why did Brian fly home around Aug 24th, then go right back on red eye to Utah. If true, why do you think?

[Anonymous]

Drugs? weapon? or did he not fly home

Are you an idiot?

That's literally a get out of jail free card. I could plan to kill my husband tomorrow, do it, and decide to go to the police the next day but as long as I tell them where his body is - its all good?

Agree this idiotic. Also, pp doesn't say how anyone know Gabby was missing, when he was trying to pretend she was not by sending texts to her mom. Doubt he was answering his phone if Gabby's mom called. Geez, his parents wouldn't even tell her.

A lot of people in this thread have never thought critically about criminal justice, police work, or prosecution before.

She was likely murdered, and the suspected killer is on the run and search parties are trying to find him right now. Actually, 3 people were probably murdered within 24 hours, around the same area. It's national news.

I thought he drove the van back to Florida. Does this mean he flew home, flew back to Utah, then drove the van to Florida?
