And they fucking knew where he was but they let searchers wander around a swamp ass park getting attacked by alligators and mobbed by mosquitos risking their life for several days to find him. Parents found him in an hour after they “voluntarily joined the search to help”.

I still can't figure out how he got out of the house unseen.

I honestly believe that in one of the "errands", they put him in the trunk of the car and he got out that way.

Then they left the other car on a distant street, and he left from there.

I think so too. The texts between the mom and the daughter about them mistaking the mom for him, joking about it, while Gabby was lying dead in an open wet field, are one of the most callous and heinous things I have ever seen. Mom didn't like Gabby in the first place and was almost certainly not particularly sad when he called her and said that Gabby was "gone." She knew immediately what he meant.
