It really is baffling how badly people seem to want to believe he's alive.

People love to make up true crime theories😂 just like most Unsolved Mysteries episodes are explained by suicide or drugs/cartel, family just doesn’t want to believe it

Not exactly the same, but lots of people believe Elvis and JFK Jr. are alive. I don’t get it

I know. He isn’t alive. I believed he was dead and that was likely suicide as soon as it came out he had been missing from his home for 3-4 days. He wasn’t just verified by dental records or something else. Itwas DNA. He had left his home on the 13th or 14th and reported missing on the 17th. There were no sightings of him during that time period.

Once his pictures were released to the public people were coming forward with sightings of him going back to the time period of Gabby’s murder I believe he would have ran if it was possible and his parents would have helped him just like they helped him sneak out to commit suicide. There was nowhere that Brian could go that he wouldn’t be spotted and recognized.
