They did make the decision not to talk to the cops the 1st night they stopped by looking for Gabby. Sure,, the son made the original bad decision, but they certainly compounded it with their actions and other decisions.

I followed the original story and did not realize what a delay that all created. Seeing the footage in the documentary blew my mind, how quickly they had a lawyer, you knew she was dead then :(

My thoughts exactly. I didn't realize it was right from the start that the parents refused to help. Also, the Florida Sargent didn't sound like he was too interested in getting involved while talking to the NY Cops, "That's New York, This is Southwest Florida"... OK, people don't do crazy stuff in Florida? There is an actual "FLORIDA MAN" trend because of all the crazy shit people in Florida do...

LOL, im aware of Florida Man, you make an excellent point about being invested. I wondered the same thing, like he didn't seem THAT alarmed... but I am not in law enforcement and it's hard to understand the mindset.
