I still don’t understand how this is possible.

At the time he was caught I recall news interviews from people who owned vacation cabins in the area where he was caught. They reported missing canned goods and other signs that the cabins had been used.

My family owned a cabin in the NC mountains, and I once went there with a friend at the start of summer to find plentiful evidence that it had been used since the last time my family had been there, and very recently (lettuce leaves in the sink that were barely wilted). It was a creepy feeling. Anyway, someone could have lived in that cabin from September through May and we wouldn’t have known, had they cleaned up properly.

Yup. My relative's house sat vacant after her death while we settled a lawsuit. I checked on the house a couple of times a week. There were sometimes signs someone was using the house. I went to the house one day late in the afternoon, early Winter, it got dark early. While I walked through the upstairs, something dropped in the basement. No reason why anything would drop in the basement. We couldn't be there 24/7, the economy was very bad after 2008, and I figured as long as they didn't burn the house down it was okay (sort, of?) if someone was finding shelter in her home. This was in a town setting, and all the more possible someone can and will enter an unoccupied house in a wooded remote setting.

I think Brian killed himself. I think he drove back home to say goodbye to his family, then left to die alone in the woods somewhere. I wouldn't be at all surprised if his parents were fully aware of this plan.

Are we the same person?

Possible, but I would think a vlogger like him would have scheduled a text to his parents saying goodbye. And he would've been found near his car, at least a piece of clothing, something. His parents don't seem concerned he is dead at all. His father just went pretend searching for him. He went to great lengths to hide Gabbys cell, apple watch. If he is dead, I think it's by accident at this point.

Doesn't the Apple watch report real time heart rate and pulse??? As in, the watch and/or her phone via iCloud probably has her exact time of death?????

I think the opposite. Why would he kill himself? Guilt over killing Gaby? Had he felt it he would have called the 911 the minute it happened, or come clean to her family. Obviously, he’s not feeling the guilt or the responsibility. He probably blamed her in his mind for the situation she’s in, the way abusers and narcissists blame their victims. This, plus the fact that his parents do not act like their son died, they do not seem devastated, the dad making believe that he’s looking for him, joking with officer. If they knew their son is dead or there is threat of him killing himself, they’d be more devastated or more frantically looking for him. I understand that not all families are similar and people react in different ways, but this assertion that he killed himself seems like a wishful thinking for justice than anything else.

I am a long lost separated 4th twin.

Interesting. Do you think (if still alive and arrested) he would try to say it was rough sex gone wrong as his defense?

Oh, poor thing. I didn’t know they released the info she was strangled.

Lots of cowards kill themselves when backed into a corner. Simple as that.

Yeah, agreed. I think of it this way - like Dog said, he likely called the parents right after it happened and they told him to drive home ASAP and lawyered up faster than the police could get any statement from him. They apparently obtained burner phones, and clearly there is money available that allowed for the flight home earlier in August, the mini camping excursion, new camper, etc…

Sorry but I have no faith in anything “Dog” says. He’s been wrong repeatedly and is so obviously a publicity whore.

Oh please. How many years have you been hunting down fugitives? zero? You cannot say in good faith that he doesn't know a lot about how people run and hide. He does.

I too after reading an article wondered if that could have been the cause (I'm not the former prosecutor). Who would admit to that? It doesn't seem likely though. She already said he grabbed her face.

Because of public interest in the case. And the fact that the murderer is still free. Why wouldn’t they?
