Yeah, watching that was weird. I didn't follow it closely as it was happening, but of course I had heard about it and saw some snippets here and there, but like… What the fuck.

And the way they found his body within one hour and one mile away from the car? Part of me is like, did they kill him and take the body there? There's definitely more to it. Especially after all those searchers had been looking around for however long and didn't find anything.

I'm wondering if they had location sharing and they knew where he was before his phone died.

Oh yeah good point

Wouldn’t it be crazy if they all agreed that he should kill himself at that exact spot

I’m almost entirely convinced that’s what happened. They snuck him out of the house and “let him” go commit suicide there rather than go to prison.

Yeah and perhaps that lawyer was for the parents, not for him

They snuck him out … because what was the text conversation about then between the mom and the sister re: Brian looking like her, dressed in disguise? Where they were joking about it??

This person is either his parents or related to them. They have over 200 comments in the last few days solely defending the parents, or in the case of a few, heavily hinting that she deserved to be murdered because she assaulted him.

And the mom...isnt that accessory after the fact when u write a letter like the one she did??

u/jelloshot Feb 19 '25

I believe she wrote the letter before Brian and Gabby went on their road trip.

So then she knew her son was capable of murder because that’s an abnormal thing to write. No one’s parents would say that in a letter before the start of a supposedly fun trip to National parks

I don’t think they killed him and took the body there, but it does seem weird that they didn’t join the search right away. The documentary didn’t offer any explanation for that.
