If this was 1995, she wouldn’t have even had that video or heard about the case until years later when someone recalled the weird story of the dead hiker and she said she’d been around that area too.

In my mind she’s a hero and was able to give this family closure they wouldn’t have gotten for decades otherwise.

Because really - the police were searching Utah and Idaho. Wyoming wasn’t even on the radar. And even if it was - the park where her body was found is 310,000 acres!

A goddamned hero.


I agree.

And then sent her mom a fake text from her phone on Aug 30? Or how do you suppose that happened? Twisting up in knots to think this dude is not guilty as sin.

Yes. He texted the mom on the 30th from Gabby’s phone that there was no reception. They didn’t have a publicly shared schedule but they had just begun their roadtrip and wouldn’t be back home for sometime.

Aside from that he was technically her fiancé and they knew him for years. They trusted him.

I can’t roll my eyes hard enough at this. Why do you all want to believe that he didn’t kill this young woman? Why?


And why are you so hell bent for leather that he did? I mean, I totally believe he did it, but until we know for sure literally anything is on the table.

Also a human can’t survive past 3 days without water. The girl wasn’t even reported missing until 16 days later thanks to the murderer’s stonewalling parents.

He's also speaking knowing that clips of this conference are going to be rebroadcast around the world. That adds a lot of pressure to what is already an intense and emotional experience.

It’s unlikely it would have mattered.

She was lovely. He seems like a normal guy. A bit weird but like a million other sons, brothers, boyfriends. But he killed another human. Insane. It kind of makes me think about what we're all capable of


He spent the whole video trying to charm the police and worried about himself. Just like Chris Watts. If that’s a ‘million other sons, brothers, boyfriends’ and husbands - what does that say?


Yes, anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims has seen this type of gaslighting and she’s the actual abuser tactics before. The police here were either not trained properly or just not doing a particularly good job.


Not really sure what they could have done differently. They had her talk to her parents. They separated them. I guess they could have asked if she needed a doctor or social worker to talk to? Maybe they did, I didn’t watch the whole thing.

If they listened to their lawyer, they likely said nothing.


It’s so creepy that they were lawyering up on September 1st while that girls body was rotting in the forest. A girl their son GREW UP WITH. And knowing she was dead they still said nothing as her parents called them for 10 days straight.

They just wanted to know if their daughter was alright.

How can you live with yourself?


She lived with them for a long time and was going to be their DIL. Now I REALLY want to know what he took out of that storage unit.

Wouldn’t that still be at least manslaughter? If you could get away Scottfree the Mob would all be Boy Scouts.
