Can I ask a question and not get yelled at? How did this case become a thing? Anyone know? I mean she's not the first missing woman. My understanding was because it was so "odd" in the way that Brian came back like nothing happened, showed no concern & refused to help in any way. I kept seeing cops refer to it as "atypical", or "an odd case". They even said that at the police stop on August 12th. And also her social media presence was probably a part of it becoming big as well.

I read the interview that was done with Brian's sister. The odd thing to me is that she said she "hasn't been able to speak to her brother". Like are they keeping him holed up, even from other family members? This thing is so weird & extremely secretive. Again, no. If you are going to have a lawyer at this point, you aren't going to have a whole lot of communication with anyone. You never know who is going to say what to the media or police.

I might get flack for this, and might deserve it. I’m kinda wondering (and actually hoping) if this is a stunt for 15 min of fame?

I’ve seen it shared on my local news social medias, but it’s basically the copy/paste of her local affiliates (Fox, ABC, NBC) stories on my local affiliates’ pages, nothing newly added by them. I doubt it’s on their actual 5 o’clock broadcast.

I think this for sure, and also the fact that they both had SM followings and the youtube channel. So when people are looking into it, there is lots to look at/people that are already invested.

CNN covered it. And this isn’t their usual type of story.

They only had her phone. He didn't have a phone. It was ONLY HERS. That he used driving home. That he still used to post to instagram and talk to his family. It was always only HER phone. This was my understanding as well. They only had her phone on this trip. Someone asked about that on reddit. "He definitely has a cell phone. In the police body cam footage, he’s talking about him and Gabby arguing. He discusses the possibility of Gabby driving off, in the van, without him. He says “if I don’t have my phone with me” [he’s saying, if Gabby were to drive off and he happened to leave his phone in the car], “then I don’t have a phone.” This is being misconstrued as him saying he does not have a phone. He does. He was simply saying he wouldn’t have a phone, if they fought and Gabby hypothetically drove off with his phone in the vehicle." Also "In the body cam footage, towards the end, BL had his cell phone in his hand after LE had gave Gabby hers back. BL might have just not had it active. It's possible he used it with WiFi only or maybe a hotspot on Gabby's device. It may have also just been used as a camera for him. It would be pretty useless unless connected to a wifi or hotspot otherwise."

I first heard about it on tiktok. I think with the van/bus/rv living craze it became more interesting to people because safety is often brought up.

I saw it originally on Yahoo a few days ago. I find the cases where people go missing on hikes/camping trips/wilderness type things particularly interesting. Any time one of those pops up I tend to hone in. I can't explain why, though.

I don’t think you lawyer up like this if you’re just looking for your next 15min of fame. I’m sure you are right. But you might if the “oddness” is all a part of your plan to stand out and get noticed? I have no idea what I’m talking about 😆

Okay when I say 15min of fame, I mean doing something to get noticed, talked about, whatever and then back on with your life. This is not the same to me.

This was my understanding as well. They only had her phone on this trip. And HER van and HER keys. Nothing was his. So I've read that they bought this van together it was just registered under her name. They were engaged at one point so yes it was technically under name but she wasn't comfortable driving it and its not something she came into the relationship with.

Someone in the group paid for access to see the last interactions Gabby's IG had, I guess there's some kind of service you can pay to see what an account has liked or interacted with. There is a 2-5 day wait for the info

The police have stated that they do not have her phone and don't know where it is, so whatever phone he was using for calls was not hers.
