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...

Yeah that part was disappointing, he clearly didn't want to do anything about this case at all. It wasn't until after he approached the Laundries himself and they were shitty and uncooperative with him, that it seemed to piss him off enough to actual do something (tow away Gabbys van).

Exactly. I felt like he thought NY was overreacting, and knowing what we know now it was frustrating.
