The callousness and lack of consideration for Gabby’s family was so terrible. She was about to become their daughter in law -her family was about to become their family- and the Laundrie’s actively participated in making them suffer longer than they needed to. The fact that they never even sent a single text to her parents is insane.

Agreed. I mean how hard would it have been to text them and at least say, “No, we haven’t heard from Gabby.”

If Brian called his parents, and they did actually contact an attorney as it was suggested, then I would assume the first thing the attorney would tell them would be “don’t say a single word to the other family or the police, I will handle any contact with police if needed” or something along those lines. I think morally it’s terrible, but that’s how they have to handle it legally.
