While they were very friendly and attempted to stay fair to both sides - the fact that they put up Brian in a hotel room while allowing Gabby to leave alone, uncomfortably driving the van to an unknown destination is outrageous.
I get that the officer stressed in the video that they, the authorities could not treat either party differently due to gender but c’mon…..gender definitely matters when sending a Female off alone in a van to fend for herself while driving a Male to a hotel and assuring he arrives safe and will be taken care of.
A girl has a much better chance at possibly attracting predators vs. a guy.
So yes gender matters in this case.
She deserved a hotel room while Brian should have had the option to just take the van.
Bad judgement of the officers IMO.
Also labeling her the “Aggressor” and him the “Victim” was preposterous at best.
Even then w/out the knowledge we have now.
Anyone speaking to them could see that she was continuously crying while he was chatting cheerfully w/the cops.
It was apparent that she was scared while to him, none of what was happening was even a big deal.

Right. I’m sure that’s it.

The FBI agent looks really shaken. So sad.
I thought he just looked really nervous.
He was shaken. I’m married to an FBI agent. And I train law enforcement every day. 🙁
Who knows how much sleep he has gotten, also.
Sleep isn't it.
These guys see horrors every day, but when it's what amounts to be someone that's basically still a child (and possibly close to their own childrens age) it hits home even harder.
All the training in the world can't prevent you from putting yourself in her parent's position.
He was probably also holding out hope that she may still be alive... this discovery dashed all of that hope.
DP, I theoretically agree with this. But I have watched many news conferences over the years—Morgan Harrington, the Lyons sisters, Hannah Graham, for example, and have never seen a law officer sniffling, etc, the way he was. These are all horrific crimes, yet the Lyons sister’s situation was just plain evil and sickening. Found his demeanor odd.
