"Let's go for a walk and cool down" : translation: you go for a walk in the desert while I drive off with YOUR van and all your belongings. Then tell the police "She's crazy man" because she clawed her way back into her own vehicle he had no right to steal.
Exactly
Yep. It’s really infuriating watching these cops coddle Brian and victim-blame Gabby.
Damn right!!!
Ha ha
@@knoelle1357
And the officer would ask what the other officers thought then talked them out of their thoughts
He’s laughing with the cops like they are friends. Your fiancé is literally bawling her eyes out and hyperventilating. How is that something to be happy about????
He feast bumps park ranger in the end.
these Cops are totally BIASED and IGNORANT! they should be properly trained and/or DISMISSED! And the fact there was a mature aged Female Cop who didn't take Gabby to one side for a Chat absolutely APALLS me! I would expect more for my Daughter! they got blood on their hands
@@syritasdoneitgoodytwoshoes2471 she was park ranger, I'm not sure how it works, but there were 2 cops and 2 park rangers (female and guy who was the only man to have scarf).
@@syritasdoneitgoodytwoshoes2471 and you're barely coming to this awareness Now!? These Cops have had blood on their hands For a very Long Time. There's countless of Videos and Cases of horrendous abuse towards fellow Black, Brown, and Native Americans.
@@syritasdoneitgoodytwoshoes2471 They did though. They all talked to her separately. For a long time. He was the one with the scratches and swollen eye. She begged them not to separate them. She was also on the phone with friends or family while sitting in the police car and she had the van that night. Every opportunity to get help or leave. Help was offered over and over. Very sad. They were very kind and attentive and by the book except, they had a soft spot for her begging and her appearance, they thought he can defend himself, it's only a scratch and a swollen eye, we would hate for such a nice girl to spend the night in jail and face charges. The elder officer says he has a daughter that age. So they went easy on her and didn't arrest her or bring her for mental health evaluation. The point of the domestic assault law is regardless if it's the smaller partner, the primary aggressor is supposed to be arrested. This is to save lives in a variety of ways, it's for safety reasons. It could potentially have saved her life because it could have ended the trip. At least they separated them for that night. They could have done nothing.
I'm thinking Brian was threatening to leave her there when they fought, he knew her biggest fear and exploited it. Poor Gabby!
That's what I was thinking too..
I think that too! Maybe they got in another spat, an escalation of the cumulative recent events, he manages to bar her from the vehicle but didn't leave her with any belongings at all, takes off under the notion, again, of trying to get her to "calm down" by removing himself from the situation, but with the intention of coming back for her. She maybe didn't believe he'd come back to get her, got upset and scared, so whatever self-defense mechanisms she had kicked in (departed scene to seek shelter & figure out what to do next, maybe got attacked by a wild animal or other human, or a fall or....something, who knows [full cause of death not yet released, Brian not wanted for murder, only "person of interest" is revealing in and of itself].) He then returns to where he left her, however long later it was, only to not find her after searching and searching. He concludes that maybe she hitched a ride to nearby civilization to call her parents to help her get home because she didn't have any of her basic essentials like phone or credit cards, etc. so he re-claims the van, takes off and decides to head back to FL, thinking that's likely where she'd make her way to too....uses her money to do so, operating under presumption of it being shared funds. Didn't know she was dead and finds out later and continues to make shitty decisions which have now escalated into his being the most wanted man in the country right now, and now doesn't think he knows how to proceed because he was a dick and has fucked up beyond repair, so hides out. He may not have been the one to have physically killed her, but his actions may certainly have led to her death.
Ron a makes sense
I seen someone said her biggest fear was being abandoned and that’s ultimately what happened to her .. that’s so sad and fck up that dirtbag needs to be found
@@heather737
That's just stupid. She behaved like a battered woman. The guy who called 911 said he was slapping her. The other guy that the cop called saw only when he was not letting her in her vehicle and she was fighting to not get left behind.
He, on the other hand, behaved like a typical narcissist. Witty and charming and all he was trying to do was calm her down? Yeah, he's a real prince.
By this time they've determined her cause of death. They're calling him a person of interest to make him feel like he can come out of hiding because they've got nothing. When they get him, they'll charge him with murder. I'd be willing to bet his DNA is found under her nails. She wasn't attacked by an animal. He most likely strangled her.
The cops were condescending af to Gabby. "She's 110 lbs soaking wet", "take a shower", "calm down", " this is a man's water bottle", and with Brian they were all about the bro code. They were more interested in hearing themselves talk. So stupid, and cost this woman her life.
I get that they made the wrong decision but they did not cost her her life..... at best, they couldve jailed him for a night & Gabby wouldve, unfortunately, been right there the next morning to get him. She was in too deep at this point. Brian had been gaslighting her for far too long. The outcome wouldve been the same & saying these cops cost Gabby her life isnt even remotely fair. Brian took Gabby's life. Period.
@@heathermiller76 I agree the cops are not to blame I jus wish she would’ve gone home and left his psycho ass
I have been in her shoes. Police treated me horribly. Made me out to be the villain. I was covered in bruises and bite marks and in shock and had to ask for an ambulance. I testified in his sentencing since he pleaded and he only got four years. Judges, police, attorneys do not care about victims of domestic violence.
The only witness said she saw her strike him.
Anyone notice when the officer calls him the victim of assault he actually laughs. Hindsight makes me believe it’s because he knows he’s just fooled them
If the boyfriend had been black, the Cops would have filled his back with lead as they chased him down the road.
@@tomthomassony8607 race war!
Yes !!!!
This other witness on phone said he was gonna call it in but then overheard another person already on the phone with cops calling it in, so how did they get this second witness info if he never called.cops said nice that a ran in to you to get things cleared and what you say makes allot of sense ???? Weird.
It's dupers delight..
Typical response of a narcissist. Officers should be trained more in narcissistic behavior.
I wish Gabby at that point when she got the van, that she left Brian in Utah and headed home
Would also be better for Brian. Then he didn’t had to deal with her all the time
I think the same so sad all the time i watch this 💔😭
@April now what this police think after Gaby Death 😖🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
And she should have. Shoot, HE should have called HIS parents for a plane ticket home and left her with her van and her money because that's how you solve someone using the home and money to keep you under their thumb. That's what I teach my kids. However, is it possible she kept telling him how much anxiety she would have without him and guilted him into staying, pushing him to a point of no return?
Yes, I got the exact same thought, Paula. After my personal experiences, I'd have done it. Unfortunately, Gabby was too trustful, too young and didn't talk to friends or parents about those incidents. Tragic.
The cops words about "getting worse and worse and end up being killed" was chilling.
And as we say in Utah "prophetic"
That's not just a Utah word. lol
@@observer164 as I said before they were damned if they had because she IS a female and now they're damned because they didn't.
He describes how the victims usually don’t want their partner to get charged or get separated, or go to jail. And that’s what Gabby was trying to prevent from happening by taking the blame. If the cops caught on to that she wouldn’t have been murdered. They described the whole situation but got it backwards
Nice police work.
exactly what i thought. literally sent chills down my spine.
And he lied about having a phone. He said “I don’t have a phone” but Gabby asked the officer to tell brian to please not forget to charge his phone at the hotel. And he told the cops “Okay”
Maybe he had no current phone plan and only used WiFi calling? Hooking up to hotel WiFi and she could contact him?
"Seemed like something was off. Like a weird vibe" - the witness sensed something fr
Hindsight is twenty twenty. Very sad.
The officer noted gabby had extreme anxiety. That is FEAR. The officer distorts reality and shifts blame to Gabby. He says himself that Laundrie pushed her first and distorts that it was only to keep her out of her own car. This could be the abuser playing the victim. This “taking space” thing can be a sign the person who needs does s is psychotic. Psychotics have trouble with emotional dysregulation. They get angry at nothing and they storm off all the time. They use that as regular punishment. Alcoholics often do it. And go get drunk. And try to convince everyone the wife is a stupid crazy bitch evil monster. Often in recovery they laugh about how much better the wives are the longer they stay sober.
This officer wanted to be the nice guy with these young kids from New York. The officer even twists that he is “helping” Gabby because he ignores the law about how men and women are “equal” no matter how tiny she is. Even though she is the “aggressor”, according to him.
Ask yourself, why was she so upset when Laundrie took all POWER and CONTROL of the vehicle? Because he’s BIGGER and STRONGER. Was he indicating he was abandoning her and STEALING her vehicle? Is that a law???
He aggressively decided to “take a break” on his terms. Which just so happened to be THREATENING AND MENACING AND UNLAWFUL. Car theft.
She had to climb in over him like a dog. Fight her way into her own car. Provoked!
Officers are not supposed to believe the peoples story. People lie. The bottom line is that
This “taking space” can be a game to punish and falsely accuse. And control communication. Psychotics dont like people talking to them. They hallucinate. The other is an object in a deluded drama.
Leaving a woman on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere is extremely threatening. It is her car! If the woman was taking possession and control of the mans car would the officers see her as the victim? She cannot. She is smaller and physically no match. It is not a fair fight. The cop is too stupid to understand the law. Just as he said that is why they passed the law that people need to be arrested. Laundry, a biggger and stronger individual, which must be taken into account make or female, pushed her and tried to drive off without her in her car.
She is hysterical. He is calm. That’s another thing. Psychotics and anti socials can be oddly calm. It is not necessarily a good sign.
If an officer sees anxiety in the smaller person, I hope he isn’t pathologizing her. The lying victim told him she had an anxiety condition. Young people lie. It was to explain away everything. She claims she’s mentally ill. Abusers gaslight victims who may take the blame and blame themselves and even think they are the crazy one. It works. Her family may also have abused her in that way.
She got the van for autonomy and perhaps safety. A place where no one could bother her. The cheapest place to live. And this is what Laundrie decided to commandeer.
It just is hard to understand how the officer admits himself that Laundrie pushed her and took her van yet Gabbys reactions made her the “aggressor”.
How crushing for the officer to see this where he says the “woman ends up killed.” He appears to resent the laws? and imagine his hands are tied because of the law and he must treat them “equally”.
But the law is to prevent women being killed. Usually the man kills the woman.
They don’t want to go to jail or court. They don’t want to deal with the police. The poor officer is trying to keep them from that trauma. It is traumatic and costly. Also who killed the lesbians the previous few days. And here’s gabby incredibly hysterical. She keeps saying oh I just have an anxiety disorder I’m the mentally ill one. She supposedly provoked him. But you hear her say why she felt confused and frustrated. It was because the guy is not making sense. Deluded. Hindsight is twenty twenty very sad.
She didn't have ANY water! He was locking her out of the van, forcing her to "go for a walk" without water in the desert! She said he shoved her face. The 911 caller said he hit her. He lied about not having a phone. The stories did NOT line up. This is so tragic
those cops are bullies they change the story cause they hated their ex and women not because of stupid straining they where lacking give a break
Sophie Boisvert even if your comment made sense, it still wouldn’t make sense.
He said he didn't have a phone. He has HER phone.
@@jules_az_mi2636 Gabby had her phone. She called "her parents" (according to the female Park Ranger in the video). Brian had some sort of "track phone" that he rarely used or that had limited service(s).
If he was forcing her to go for a walk - it was in downtown Moab (commercial district - not the desert). Also -Gabby had her phone. She called "her parents" (according to the female Park Ranger in the video). Brian had some sort of "track phone" that he rarely used or that had limited service(s) - hr had to "search" through the back of the van repeatedly (in the video) to find the charger to it.
"You probably could not physically destroy this man the way that he could if he attacked you"
Heartbreaking :(
Omg. 🤭
This entire tragedy is just so unreal, bizarre and heartbreaking on multiple levels. Even more so after watching the body cams, see the police officers conversations etc.
The irony
And that's why all girls should learn martial arts, how to shoot a gun, etc. I admire fathers who teaching their daughters those skills so if any douchebag comes their way, they can fight back.
i hope he feels guilty for saying that now
The look he gave when the cop said “she was the primary aggressor” should tell you something smh
Brian knew he had them in the bag. Nothing to see here, moving on.
He was so surprised it made him dizzy.
And he laughed
She looks possessed sitting in the cop car. Utah is a crazy place…
Did you see how she cried when she knew her being the primary aggressor has consequences. The police should have locked her up based on the statute. And now the rest is history. Brian murdered her most probably after being similarly assaulted by her in Wyoming.
The guy is such a cad. Living off her money, her credit cards, her van and her cell phone. Why would he drop charges? He is the narcissist playing the victim.
He’s such a loser. 😭😢 I hate that these were her last days. All she wanted was love & adventure..this idiot couldn’t even make something this easy work. She deserved so much better. I hope this opens a lot of girls eyes that are in similar situations right now.
@@kayla7562 Exactly, she was so young, sweet, and naive. He saw that, and took advantage 🙁. That's what abusers do. It kills me seeing these beautiful (inside and out) young women, like Gabby, with evil men. They don't even realize, what they are worth/how amazing they are. If only she would have gotten away from him, she would have truly blossomed. It would have taken some healing, but she would have turned into a confident, and even more amazing, young woman.
@@kayla7562 she has probably saved a lot of women out there, opened their eyes to their own situation
@@kayla7562 It won't.
@@crystallangan832 They'll never see it until many years after they are out of it.
It seems like what he's describing is Brian stealing her car and her phone.... and she becomes frightened also of him abandoning her....? That he was the aggressor by stealing her van and phone.... he was in control and the abuser
All that doesn't matter did she say this guy is harming me did she say my life is in danger. Did she say he said hes gonna kill me no. So the police arrest Bryan and you know the story she'll be waiting for him as hes walking out of jail
I would add Brian Laundrie stating Gabby is crazy and having male police officers agree with him electrified him rather than him really be afraid of being cautioned re: breaking laws -- Princeton's taking her property her van denying her access-- instead... he was having a misogynist boys club moment there which electrified him.....
She seemed more upset over needing to show up to Utah court at some time in the future. Made her start crying about it presumably because she had big travel plans that didn't include driving back to Utah.
@@thunkjunk Actually there are reports she was crying EARLIER because of brian Laundrie being abusive to staff at restaurant
@@RafaelbySuzannah That restaurant incident takes place on August 27 in Wyoming, not in Moab
Gabby wasn't just crying, she was sobbing. There's a huge difference both physically and emotionally. Is it no wonder that Gabby could not remember exactly what occurred and when.
It was horrible. I watched all yesterday. She was distraught! He was afraid SHE'D leave HIM ? What a joke. I'm still angry at the male cops and hope they are not sleeping at night. Karma for cops ND Kaundries
That emotional crying to me was her realizing that he wasn’t her Prince Charming. I believe that that awareness was heartbreaking for her.
Knowing from this trip, he’s not the guy she thought was a big deal. It wasn’t going to be easy,because she loved him. Maybe that and coming to grips with leaving him lead to the horror of her demise. BL seemed to cool .
Gabby was distraught and was being manipulated mentally by Brian. It’s obvious. I can’t speak for the officers that were attending that scene. They do need more training in narcissistic behaviors. Brian was acting like a text book narcissist. It can’t bring Gabby back. We cannot turn back time. Gabby’s death will hopefully be a catalyst for change.
@@kevind1980 wow. That's seriously f*cked up.
When I was defending her after they only posted the first video on 9/17, men in comment section were calling her tears crocodile's. It's a men's world we are living in :( Good thing is that at least 2 strangers (men) called in and weren't just indifferent, so it's a beacon of hope :(
How the cops didn't catch her honesty, kindness and vulnerability is beyond me.
Same :(
I agree. the first time I saw it, prior to them finding her body, I cried watching her cry - I wanted to jump through the screen and hug her. :(
Hmm ... I thought they DID.
Yeah her HONESTY was crying like a baby that she didn't want to leave him and wanted to be with him. What could the cops do come on‼️
They didn’t care
At 17:51 Brian was saying that Gabby could take the van to sleep in for the night and the officer said “Do you trust her with YOUR vehicle?” And instead of Brian saying “Well this is actually HER vehicle.” All he said was “She can handle it.” … It sounds like the officer just assumed it was his vehicle and it seems like Brian was going right along with it.
These officers actually used a lot of "suggestion", which is bad. Meaning instead of asking how it is, they suggested their guess, then asked "is that right?" ... both victim and perp want the encounter to end because it causes further anxiety, so of course they are going to say yes to everything.
Might have been because he was driving.
Throw them out of the police force.
Exactly- Don't they check who owns the vehicle before they get out of their police car. IDIOT COPS! He was assaulting her by trying to get her phone from her against her will- that is theft, and also witholding her keys and locking her out of the car- also THEFT! These cops- they sure need a lot of RETRAINING.
@@A212K If you get pulled over for littering - the police will ALWAYS ask to see proof of insurance and registration.
"...you probably could not physically destroy this man the way that he could if he attacked you..."
And also when he mentioned that "too many times" women don't want their abuser to go to jail, so they stay with them and get treated badly and eventually end up getting killed.... like... dude... you said EXACTLY what happened... why not ask if he's abused her in the past?... they could have prevented all this...
How sadly ironic all this is now. I'm so sorry, Gabby.
Even when he said the “ legislature said police messed up way too many times so they made this law” proof right here that they messed up yet again
he didn't have to ask that because she literally said it hadn't happened before, without any prompting from police.
I actually was waiting for that question to be asked! “Has this kind of fight happened before?”
“Do y’all typically put your hands on each other when you are in a heated argument?”
Exactly 😞
she already seemed like she was protecting him and putting all the blame on herself so I feel like she wouldnt have been honest bc she didnt wanna get him in trouble
Can you imagine what he threatened her with as soon as he saw the cops behind them? Of course she wasn't going to say anything. Freaking sad as hell!
I do believe that he threatened her before they stopped. The way she was acting and taking all the blame herself raised suspicion. In my State a Female Officer comes out because of this situation here. Some male Officers will make big mistakes in a male and female disturbance being out smart by the male aggressor. That’s why a female Officer is sent out.
@@Harley08 Thats not true
@@Harley08 there was a female officer there from the parks service who exclusively talked to Gabby. She didn't disagree with the decisions that were made. Smh, your proof that people see what they want to see.
@@scottwall8419 That’s been proven that they see what they want to in many videos. It’s not all of them but there is some. She was in distress and they should have noticed it instead of believing her boyfriend’s side. They should have been separated, not allowed to leave together. She was found dead and where’s her boyfriend.
@@Harley08 I'm talking about you. Your whole message was assumptions, guesses, opinions etc.
The reason women officers are brought into a scene in these instances is because 1) if pat downs happen it more appropriate for a woman to do it and removes possibly liability should a female suspect complain.
2) women are more likely to confess to a woman, relax with another woman or be coaxed to tell the truth about being abused.
Its not about mistakes, it's about a strategic front in a complicated situation. Your assumption that women are called out because men most often take the side of men and they make mistakes a d dont beleive women is horribly irresponsible and easily, verifiably false considering how many men are taken to jail even on proven false allegations. Your a gross person, you should delete your irresponsible illinformed crap
Even the violence aside, the fact that he locked her out of her van and left her bag on the back of it is so abusive. Reducing someone to being left and humiliated out in the middle of nowhere. Why would anyone want to treat a loved one like that. These cops missed the entire situation.
Yes abandonment and his actions to her locking her out of the van with her bag was like( see how I can control you! ) It was a punishment tactic to make her feel small and insecure. What better place to do that in a isolating situation away from family. She was definitely a abuse victim. It is written all over this. It shows in all the body cam video. Trama bonds definitely show in her behavior. She didn't want to be separated from her abuser which is very common. Prayers to her family and for justice.
@@cheryldaniel7795 Precisely! Narcissistic abusers love to make their victims feel unsafe/insecure and lost until they come back for them or decide to let them back in. This poor girl really suffered. It's unforgivable.
Especially your FIANCÉ
It's pure sexism. Everyone assumed it was his van, even after seeing the registration in her name. It's the same reason women go to buy a car, and the salesmen insist on speaking to her husband. Even if he says "talk to HER, it's HER money."
Also when people see a man walking away from his girlfriend, they assume he's "deescalating" the situation by walking away. But the silent treatment, abandonment, these are actually abuse tactics. Brian took full advantage of the stereotype of the "hysterical woman" and the "calm, reasonable man who just wants her to cAlM dOwN."
@@maple6573 STOP using this tragedy to foment your ridiculous 'sexism' crap! So, according to you, if a man "walks away", he's being abusive. And if he lashes out, what then?... obviously he's being abusive. So either way, whatever he does, in the eyes of feminists like you, the man will ALWAYS be guilty of abuse. Un-fukn-believable! 🤦♂
Her reaction to that charge is a red flag in itself. God I wish they’d have taken her in. She’d still be alive more than likely because she’d have called her Dad and he’d have gotten on a plane .
No she wouldn't this night had nothing to do with the day she died he killed her like 2 weeks later
They did separate them for the night letting her keep her van, he was fine with it, she begged and cried not to be separated. She was on the phone talking to people the entire time she was in the police car. Could have left at any time. She seems to have been obsessed with the vlog and finishing the trip. Also wonder about their diet, dehydration, etc, they were exposed to the elements a lot. I wish he'd known to call his parents and ask to be flown home. Very tragic.
She has Two Fathers . So i thinks its a broken family from start thats why she is with an abusive bf faraway.
Why wasn’t the 911 call related to the police officers? Like why? Because their jurisdiction is to arrest any domestic violence occurrence. But here, they feel awkward to arrest Gabbie.....! When Brian was the true aggressor!
"Does she have a good driver's license? Do you trust her with your vehicle?" Brian: "yeah, she can handle it." Notice Brian never mentions it's HER van. Legally he STOLE HER van. Clawing her way back in is understandable
Yess, I noticed that too. That dweeb!
Exactly! I was looking for this comment! Why didn’t they look at the registration and ask more questions about who owns it and why Brian was locking her out of the car? Ridiculous
He's not stealing it when he has permission to drive it.
Amen!!! This is so hard to watch! They could have saved her - and Brian is clearly a psychopath
Van is registered to both.
This is what the police needed to do: "sir, you told us that you didn't have a phone and you were afraid of being left somewhere without one. Clearly there is a phone in your hand right now. You were asked by the park ranger to give Gabby back her phone, at which point you admitted to both taking it from her and hiding it. We have caught you in two lies so far. Please have a seat while we speak with the eye witnesses because there is more to this story than you're admitting to."
The cops did NOT need to be skilled at reading body language or interpreting Gabby's distress. They only needed to address the lies as the OBVIOUS coverups they were.
How could they left her alone!
The phone he had worked on wifi but wasn’t hooked up to a phone plan. Your suggestions sound ridiculous.
Yes I so agree, he fed off the fact they were believing his story!! And you could see him playing them!!
VERY well put. How frustrating this is!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!!
@@HandbagDiva they make absolute sense. The douchebag said he DIDN'T HAVE a phone, which was techically a lie - among with many others. PLAIN TO SEE.
I wonder how officer Pratt is sleeping knowing he had the wrong victim which was OBVIOUS in the 911 call. Sickening
Police cannot arrest someone because the other is crying. Gabby incriminated herself. Brian incriminated her and the witness who they called corrabated them both. The police saved Gabby's life for an additional 12 days. They clearly didn't want to arrest little harmless Gabby but they did separate them. I do not believe they reunited until 8/23 or 8/24 when Brian returned to the area. I believe they patched things up during this time. What good would it have done for the police to arrest Gabby?
I do believe Brian got the impression that he had the upper hand and that Gabby was the bad guy. I believe it empowered and emboldened him. But that is not the police fault. It is his screwed up mind.
I hope he’s not blaming himself. Blaming this officer is ridiculous!
@@Vz9z9 education is the tool. He used google to try to manage the situation. He said the witness stated HE was the victim, we know that not to be the case. He made a mistake. Would it be any different? We will never know but I bet he will always think about how he did his job that day.
@@klo292 Gabby acted like every victim under coercive control in a DV relationship. Do your research. They will always take the blame because the alternative will leave her more battered. And it did in the end. The eyewitness identified HIM as the aggressor not her, he was slapping her, Gabby also clearly showed the choke hold he had her in which is likely what he’s done before and did for 4-6minutes until she died, looking into her desperate dying eyes. Downplaying DV victims behaviour is exactly how the aggressor keeps getting away with it.
@@klo292 Saved her life for 12 more days? That’s really laughable, and this isn’t even a funny situation.
Why is there never anyone going "but its her van!"...did they not run the tag? That would've made a difference too he was taking off and trying to leave her!
They new it was her car. It is sad how they were laughing having a grand time while Gabby was scared and crying 😢😢. She probably saw this and those cops scared her so much😢😢. There was one nice Cop there. The guy who asked her if he hit her and he said at the end she had marks on her. I think he was the one they muted when they were standing there decided wether to lock the poor battered girl up😢😢😢😢. So sad!! I think the whole time she was asking many for help and no one was listening😢😢😢. Unfortunately that's how this world is anymore 😢😢😢😢😢
She would be alive if he left her 🤣 but she wanted to get back in
@@WheeliesAREus Not his van.
@@Livingmydreammm They didn't know it was her van until they went to separate them. Dumb police didn't even run the tag. Smh.
@@WheeliesAREus true lol
OMG, when the officer is telling her about how she will get more life experience and be better able to handle things, that crushed me. No, she never got the chance to gain that life experience. And at 25 minutes or so, she just breaks down. Can't they get her some sort of counselor or something? Not just send her off alone in a van? She is begging them. This is just heartbreaking. The cop filming here seemed to be pretty reasonable, but too bad he left.
All the cops are wearing a body cam...there are two more videos to be released. One from the lady, she's a Park Ranger.
Apparently this woman, the park ranger spoke in depth with Gabby, trying to share her own story and telling her to leave him.She was trying to empower Gabby with her own story, I really hope that her bodycam footage is released soon!
Sad and sickening how they handled this!
@@valerietoton5509 Yes! Me too!
Yes. This is basic intervention, yet we can't expect our police officers to also have the Masters degree and experience of licensed therapists. Police go to school for about 2 years vs trained tharapists 6+, and in completely different focus'. As someone who has worked in mental health for years this was a no brainer / classic example of domestic violence situation. RiP.
I have been wanting to watch the female officer’s body cam footage. From what I’ve read, she was telling Gabby that Brian has been giving warning signs of domestic abuse.
True ..she said that in an interview as well.
I was not happy that during the police stop they did not even show them )the policemen) conferring with her (the female park ranger) at all...and she was with Gabby alone in the car for awhile where they could have talked and where a woman might share more with another woman vs two policeMEN , especially if you were in fear after already hurt by a man you think you love and then where where both policemen were even suggesting arrest...you might be different and speak more freely with another woman. It just really makes me wonder what was said between those two. but maybe there is a reason they have to keep some of this from the public...maybe if/when they do find Brian they won't want him to know all that was and all the evidence they have ...and they need to question him w/o him having that as well.???
I hate how the cops handled this.
Plus, they said no witness seen him hit Gabby...BS! The witness that called 911 said he seen Brian hitting and slapping her! Wtf???
Incorrect the waitress saw her hitting him
@@kekistanimememan170 I thought they said it was a man who reported seeing Brian hitting her as they drove by!
They did ask the witness and he said he didn’t see him strike her. Just pushed her away and couldn’t tell if it was in defense or not. They handled this really good. Both of them had the same story. Him laughing for saying he was the victim is and would be funny to most guys because they just don’t feel a victim. It’s just unfortunate they were together and all those little things add up and it went too far. He strangled her. I doubt intentionally but he did. Him running and his family helping him is just wrong. Hope they find him.
@šanon záložný that’s why he called the witness. Then it went to a push and never seen him strike her.
@@kekistanimememan170 no, the 911 caller said that he was running after and slapping her.
When cops talk to Brian and say Gabby was the abuser. Brian just laughs.
The fact that as soon as they declared him the victim of domestic assault, and that he can’t go to jail as part of the order of no contact, he felt so emboldened to joke to police about committing a felony right then and there, by stealing the officer’s radio. That’s textbook narcissism right there. Unbelievable. Brian I hope you will suffer like you made Gabby and her loved ones suffer.
If anything, she has battered girlfriend syndrome. She was defending him when the call that brought the officers said he was slapping her and Gabby has a finger nail scratch on her face but the officer totally ignored that statement.
He was joking in a “hypothetical” so that he could be the one going to jail instead of Gabby….he said it jokingly to protect Gabby. “I’m going to steal your radio so that way I’m the one going to jail and Gabby is free.” That’s what he meant by saying that.
@@posticusmaximus1739 exactly. She was worried about any of this going to police at all, and wanted a traffic ticket, whereas he just went with the DV citation and even joked about it.

Two witnesses both saw Brian trying to lock Gabby out of her own van, had her keys and cell phone and her struggling to get her cell and get in her van before he drove off without her. The first 911 caller said he saw Brian hitting her outside down the sidewalk and in the van - officer wanted Brian to be the victim so he asked questions to fit his narrative and they didn't even realize this wasn't Brian's van. Brian admitted his mark on his face was an accident. While Gabby said he grab her face and squeezed and shoved her away from getting her belongings. She wanted him to stop as he was pissed as speeding. He IS the aggressor. They gave him all the breaks-no speeding ticket and they never asked him if he hit her! They told him he was the victim, he looked surprised, relieved and laughed, he couldn't believe it and even looked to see if the cop's camera was on. Even gave him legal advice and the officer on the way to taking him to the hotel told him where he could find Gabby showering. They were being his buddy. On your way to pick her up-not realizing it isn't her van. He didn't want it to go to court because he knows his ass is guilty. The police let Brian negotiate everything. He didn't care about protection from her at all. He wanted a shower and her vehicle and her cell. Full grown man-yea right! Her inability to handle a man taking her van and keys without permission? Smh.
It seems to me that the only perceived difficulty in this relationship between Brian and Gabby stems from Gabby's Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and how that when this disorder surfaced (when flies bothered Gabby at the café in Utah on 12 August 2021, and when Brian tracked sand into the clean van with his bare feet), Brian was stressed about the situation because of Gabby's over-reaction. I do not, think, however, that this mental disorder developed to an extreme level where Brian took the life of his beloved fiancée. For all that we know, Gabby may have been accosted by complete strangers while she sat alone in her van between the dates of 27 August and 29 August and who did to her the unthinkable.
So many officers and couldn't make a brain together. How was it that he had no phone but then he has one? The van was her, he was trying to take her phone, the witnesses. And if it was getting confusing why not taking them and separetly ask them questions??
@@Dovid2000 She does seem in an extremely emotionally/psychotic state switching from smiling to extreme distress in seconds, a state compared to him (hes trying to present himself as stable, calming in control etc when in fact the entire thing at this point is already out of any control whatsoever) thats is quite off. The officer might have a point seeing that the boyfriend is trying to control the situation. But wrongly as he (the boyfriend) perhaps recognize this pattern and it getting out of hand while behind the wheel: creating a dangerous situation. Hence the stopping, the take a walk, the refusal of letting her in her car. They perhaps were not able to seperate from each other at this point in the middle of nowhere without having being responsible for creating an unsafe scenario for either. I really dont see any extreme physical abuse marks between the two at this point that would indicate a full blown out aggression with full force but she might have tried' to get to him physcially' in order to accomplish wishes from a manic standpoint that he was preventing trying to create distance and hopefully having her snap out of it. It pretty much clearly looks like this situation could go two ways after the police contact, she'd decrease and stop and get silent/tune down the manic state and they resume their travels safely or increase it perhaps making the man snap out of this fake shield of control (he does seem kinda like a bum, no phone not the owner of the car) and do the worst thing possible in overreaction on her, something that is likely to have happened ending up in panic sitation on his part and the fleeing/evading arrest with the knowledge of wrongdoing. May i remind u it would not take much at all for a man his size to end a frail girl like her with one big hit bouncing her head on something awful and its already done, or even at a spot that she might already had issues with seeing her kind of erratic behaviour. It does not seem at all the man had or has any intentions of directly killing her or seems agitated at all, he actually comes across as someone that is used to this behaviour and has dealt with it before and came out of it. It seems like she was not ready for a travel of this sort, nor was he to deal with her in this manner. Big fucked up situation, perhaps the police is somewhat at fault for misrecognizing this as an abuse scenario as it should more likely be seen as a mental help scenario and seperate the two taking her to a hospital to be checked and having him resume a travel and park her car at her home and she would likely be alive right now and he wouldnt be a murder suspect on the run.

@@johnratlift6205 as you
Completely agree. The biggest thing that stood out to me was them both saying they’re a team. He said it first and not long after she said it too…but differently. When he said it, I didn’t think much of it. Sure, they’re a team because they’re on a road-trip together and only have each other while on it. But when she said it, it sounded like something that’d been told to her often and that it was something that she’d possibly been led to believe. No matter what.
So sad that the cops made so many assumptions. She downplayed what he did to protect him ! So insulting to call her the aggressor . He was locking her out of her car and belongings. Wouldn’t you lose it? I feel so bad for Gaby. Imagine being called the aggressor and getting in trouble for reactive abuse
He was locking her out of HER van, taking HER phone and abandonng her in the middle of nowhere !
HOW DID THESE COPS NEVER RUN THE PLATES AND REALIZE IT WAS HER, REPEAT, HER VEHICLE!!!!!!!
It's not about whose vehicle it is in this instance. They have to apply the law.
Perhaps Gabby was more concerned about her computer and other equipment she had in the Van and didn't want to lose it, since she was dedicated in what she was working on. Beside a way to get home, I doubt she was too concerned about the van at all, beside just her stuff, and not wanting to be abandoned with nothing in the middle of knowhere. The cops really fumbled on this one. Their analysis on what was going on was so wrong, with a lot of missing parts to the story that they didn't even consider. Really nice cops, but amateur rookies still. They treated this like it was a textbook incident by carelessly tagging aggressor or victim into some convenient legal category, without ever looking deeper into the matter. The witness also clearly stated that it was "unclear" in regards to Gabby hitting Brian. He also clearly told the cop that it was Brian trying to take her phone and locking her out of the Van. So then the only thing they cared about is who hit who first, as if it was some bar brawl lol. Nice guys, but not great police work.
She told them that the witness told them that and Brian told them that. It was not the cops fault.
@@gina.1 I'm pretty sure it is not lawful to take a vehicle that belongs to someone else. And I'm pretty sure it's not lawful to drive 20 to 30 miles over the speed limit. Yet Brian did nothing wrong huh.
The second the officer said “you’re the victim of domestic violence” he smiled, laughed, he knew he won.
Well it was a ridiculous situation where a girl is being charge with domestic violence not to mention she looks squeaky clean she’s completely damaged mentally and emotionally but there was no proof that she was being abused at all especially since earlier that morning they had literally got into a fight.. and she still wasn’t showing any signs of being abused? I just don’t see it as Brian being the monster that all you say he is maybe it was an accidental murder during a fight just doesn’t seem like he would be a monster to just beat her to death.
@@Lily-rz8mg I’m not defending him but in the police altercation he was hyper compliant. If he did truly kill her which I kind of do think he did he’s a total monster I won’t defend him there but there’s no way for the police to have noticed that. If you watch professional body language readers from the army and so on they even say he was being very honest and truthful
@@Lily-rz8mg watch the behaviour panel review the video. I can read body language quite well. Now the murder part is a different story I never mentioned anything about the murder situation so calling me a sick incel lol speaks a lot towards your character and how you read situations.
Utah police ignored obvious facts, were blinded w/bias, and so rookie. Their "victim" was steeling her van, phone, and put her stuff out of her van, threatening abandonment (as he did). Florida police have probable cause to charge with lesser charges since he came home in her van w/out her, no missing person report in Wyoming, now her remains found, body-cam evidence. Outdated protocols, lack of common sense are why so many missing persons never found.
The police had a narrow focus and obviously bias tho wanting to help her since they all ignored that the van was registered to her, legally her property, while both admitted he locked her out and put her stuff out, also taken her phone dangerous out there so seems her behavior was due t that since being out of state. Why zero ticket or warning for speeding ignored w/his apology.
Omg! I just noticed that it was her van. Well then that's changed my mind totally.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
False information spreading...should you be arrested?
What nonsense. There was no evidence he committed a crime. It’s an unfortunate event, but he was not accused of committing a crime by anyone nor was there any evidence of that. So, what were they supposed to do?
Him attempting to steal her property (van, phone, etc.) does not give her the right to assault him. Once she regained entry into the van, she assaults him while he's driving. He isn't hitting her, nor is she defending herself, she is attacking him.
If she would have contacted the police and never touched him, he would have been arrested right then and there for theft. The fact that she's emotional and slapping him is where the situation becomes both of their faults and no longer just his.
Why, would anyone think its "normal" to be in such great spirits to begin with while being pulled over during a vehicle slap fight. She was so distraught.
The whole thing was an act.
That’s what I have said this whole time. Every time I watch this I’m always wondering why the hell is laughing???? What’s so damn funny????? While she over there crying. SMH. Makes no sense. Do you ever see the roles reversed like when the male is the main aggressor and he’s crying but the female is laughing and cutting up with police ? It doesn’t happen.
wow! absolutely ridiculous! he’s laughing at the fact that his fiancé was going to go to jail because of him? do they not see what’s wrong here.
True. Sadly true. Narcissistic behavior should be taught in the academy so that cops have more awareness of this behavior.
He seemed nervous to me. He asked if he could go to jail instead of her. Then said he didn't want any charges and then said they were a team.
This video should really raise awareness to domestic battery. Cops will all admit that domestic issues are the most difficult to deal with over everything. Any domestic disturbance should never be taken lightly b/c many times the end result leads to murder. Unfortunately, it was Brian not Gabby the offender. If the cops suspected him instead of her I believe things would of, most likely, turned out better.
10 million DV calls a year and 2200 end in murder. That's .000014 percent of the time. Yes, it happens but it's not the norm. Just as an aside though, this is what often happens in DV against men, they excuse it, they ignore it, they dont report it but the numbers in many surveys(CDC) support the idea that DV is more of a 60/40 split and not the 85/15 that alot of people claim. The narrative in most of these cases is that women are most often abused and as a whole that's technically true it doesnt matter in individual cases as the cops rightly pointed out in the moment but so often here in the comments we hear that because it has happened to the individual making the comment that it must be true for Abby also. The signs of abuse are many and just because emotional manipulation or abuse is present it doesnt always mean it leads to physical abuse or murder. I wish people understood what was actually pertinent to determining crimes for police officers. Every single one of those police officers told each of them that if the situation between them was getting physical and that bad they should seperate, what more do people want from police? They dont read mind, can't predict the future and are not trained nor permitted to predict future abuse or take actions based off actions not yet happening.
I'm no friend of cops because I think they abuse power to much but in this case I think they tried to be as fair as possible and are being held to an impossible standard.
I don't think things would necessarily have turned out better given this incident took place two weeks or so before Gabby's murder. More likely than not, he would have bonded out the next day even if he had been arrested.
Maybe. Maybe not. He would just find some other way out as they usually do which is why so many victims end up dead.
I agree

Her whole demeanor is concerning!!! Not OCD or anxiety. She believed she NEEDED him and couldn’t survive a night without him. Wow!
Very co dependent and severe separation anxiety .. gabby should have been on medication and seeked counseling and then after that innocent left him as quick as possible ! Sad situation but yes this police officer was amazing at trying to analyze Everything
@@chrisroach8385 She did not need to be drugged up. She just needed talk therapy and to have no contact forever with BL.
Well actually probably anxiety, that's what happens in domestic abusive relationships, you end of with a toxic amount of Co dependence, probably a bit of Stockholm syndrome, the agreesor makes you believe that without them you are nothing and you are unlovable, etc, etc and they are the only ones who really care or love them and that they NEED them. She is definitely anxious, having a mental breakdown, so close to help yet the help believes she's the aggressor like how tf, this is her at a point of complete break realising that she is done, she has nothing left, she has probably been gaslit, controlled coersively as well as physically and now believes it indeed was her fault. If the police couldnt figure out she was in trouble, who could? When you are in that state of hopelessness, you have been broken again and again, you are afraid to even make a face or give a sign that you are a fraid of this person that you need help that you are in trouble, and most of the time until you escape or it's too late you don't even realise you ever were in trouble, you were made to believe it was all because of you. You start to believe you're going crazy and you can't event trust yourself anymore, the only person you can trust is your aggressor. It's called being brainwashed, being psychologicalaly abused, bruised and broken, it's called narcissistic abuse, it's called coercive control, domestic violence, domestic assault, domestic abuse. A part of her most definitely knew that this would be it for her, he talked the police into believing she was the aggressor... Her life is his, she can't scream, she can't fight, she is paralysed in fear and for all she knows he's right and all of this is just in her head.
... This is not news... These police people were not trained properly in this situation, and if they had done the research and/or understood body language and basic red flags just a tad more, they could have saved a life and put another monster away.... Now one is missing most likely now believing she is gone because of something shes done, and the agreesor is on the run hiding and being covered up as another "missing persons case". Another win for a faulty justice system, good job guys.
Narcissists can put wedges between their partner and any family or friends. Then the narcissist is the only one the victim has. She was made to believe she couldn't make it without him, so being separated from him was very frightening. Again, textbook.
Textbook narcissistic abuse effects. Cops are not psychiatrists, but they do need some training to recognize the signs of emotional & mental abuse. Because when you have this knowledge, you might be able to catch the deceptive switcheroo of roles and "facts" that abusers always create around them.
So sad that cops are trying so hard to check the laws & judge the situation & to help... and totally misreading what's clearer to others who have been through it before.
The buildup to this situation is the key.
Brian locking her out of HER OWN van, the level of distress & dehydration, Brian so quick to paint her as mentally ill, the eyewitness feeling "something was off" (why didn't the cop ask the witness "who did you feel more concered for?") even though he also said "it waslike children fighting, laughing, etc.", Gabby's account of all the things Brian was trying to prevent her from doing (Brian's control issues), no cop asked "why did you take her phone & keep it?", Brian lying about their phones...
“She’s not a threat to him.” Ummmm that wasn’t the issue.

Absolutely heartbreaking to hear this video. This video should be used in all police training. Justice For Gabby !
Completely agree!
From what I heard Gabby’s father say with Dr Phil he hasn’t been able to bring himself to watch this yet. So sad ….
Brian was hitting and slapping her 20 minutes prior. He refused to let her in HER car and tossed out her backpack. She is a young woman who was kicked out in the middle of nowhere on a busy highway. The stupid cop didn't have the foresight or the brains to see she was justified to be frantic. Imagine if Gabby kicked him out of his car? That cop would still blame her. The cop spoke to the wrong witness; not the 911 caller who actually reported it. Lol. I'm so triggered by this, I mean no harm.
“Too many times, women that are at risk want to go back to their abuser, they just wanted them to stop hurting them. They don’t want to be separated, they don’t want them to go to jail. Then they end up getting worse and worse treatment and end up getting killed.”
If only he listened to his own words. She was displaying these exact signs! Didn’t want him to go to jail, didn’t want to be separated, clearly displayed signs of being hit, and showed extreme anxiety and stress. 🤦🏻♀️
@Meg D. same 😞
Yes but no in this case as they saw it she was the abuser …
I could not say it any better. But the man doesn't look a criminal.
@John Hooper That’s not what I’m saying. Based on what she’s portraying she fits the description of someone in need of help. She should’ve had some
mental support because she is clearly distressed and scared of him.
@John Hooper The first call said that he slapped her.
One thing the cops failed to do is check the registration of the car. I think this might’ve added some pieces to the puzzle. They just assumed it was Bryan’s and swallowed everything he said. Based on his constant apologizing, how he’s mocking her while she’s in this state of mind, blaming everything on her it should’ve raised some red flags to further question him and pay more attention to her wounds. She’s petrified of getting him in trouble and assuming all the blame. Another red flag. When the officer is in the car he literally states everything gabby is displaying but fails to connect the dots.
Also, if someone was taking your phone and car trying to leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere not knowing if they’d come back you’d see things in another light. He wasn’t trying to go on a walk. 😒
When the cop says “you did nothinggg wronggg” to Brian. 🤦🏻♀️ prayers up for her family.
When Gabby said “ he grabbed my face” that should have been a red flag ABSOLUTELY 4 inches down is her neck and the story enfolds…..

31:31 gave me the chills. I hope that this case leads to some reform in police training and a requirement for cops to receive domestic violence training.
God damn it this cop is even worse. He’s trying so hard to minimize everything and make the story of her being the aggressor real that he’s ignoring all the signs of a battered woman.
Did you happen to hear how he described his relationship with his ex-wife? It was in the first camera release.
At 9:34 the officer said “The truth is usually somewhere in between” and then he accidentally said “He’s probably trying not to say that he HE hit HER”. How ironic.
I noticed that, I think that's just the officer misspeaking. He refers to Gabby as "him" several times if you wanna rewatch it again.
@MsWendyRomo That’s exactly what I thought at the beginning. The officers trying to separate them was a good idea. They didn’t know she would be killed. They wanted some cooling off time between them.
He never says.. uhhh.. this is HER VAN. And you would think that running the plates would show that.
3:10 Interesting that the witness says he heard Brian “say something like ‘why are you being so mean’” when Gabby echoed that exact sentiment in bodycam 1, when she said “I know I can be kinda mean…” She then later had a moment of “well not really MEAN..” Even when I watched bodycam 1, that correction felt more like a realization that backtracking.
Now, that’s chilling, because it seems like he probably often told her “you’re being so mean/why are you being mean” until she eventually believed she was a difficult, mean person, who should be grateful he put up with her. But when regurgitating that verbiage to the police, it’s like she briefly came out from under his spell of control.

@@S30Uploads Hey please seek help. Sending love ❤️
@E.T. Ethics how is OCD relevant to her being "mean" or emasculating?
Exactly: you end up speaking their words and believing their version of you and them.
Imagine now that this was two men. If a man was clawing at another man for stealing his car and phone, would the man whose car was being actively stolen from him be identified as the aggressor?
Not to mention the sheer terror for a young woman...or any woman... at the thought of being stranded, thousands of miles from home, out in the middle of nowhere; in the wilderness. No money, no phone, no friend/family to call, no food, no water, no shelter, no transportation, no way to defend herself.
I think Brian, had done this to her many times before. I heard them both, on other body cams, say he was in the habit of withholding the van keys from her, and another witness said they saw her trying to claw her way back into the van, while he was locked inside. I heard somewhere, that the van title was in her name only; she was legal owner of the van. Why didn't the cops cite him for speeding and wreckless driving? Did they ask for license and registration? I don't recall, but I also don't recall seeing them issue a citation for his driving violations.
Brian, was also in the habit of taking possession of her phone. Couple, or no couple, my phone, is my phone. It's my private possession, and just like my purse, you don't mess with my phone.
I don't think I'm too far off the mark, to say that this fear of being abandoned, controlled her every thought, action, and decision. And that it was why she refused to accuse, Brian, of anything abusive. She knew he would make her pay for it later.
My belief, after a lifetime of experience with narcissistic abusers, is that Brian, used his dominance over the van, as a tool of power, control, and an emotional weapon with which he psychologically "beat", Gabby. I think he had Gabby, in constant fear of being completely, and utterly abandoned out in the middle of nowhere, in the wilderness, all alone. And isn't that what he ultimately did to her?
@@chachadodds5860 I feel for her, too. She was too kind and caring and never would have left Brian behind and didn’t want to be separated from him. Like you, I also suspect he often used her fear of being alone / abandoned against her. Emotional abuse. It’s called coercive control in the UK and was made a crime there a few years ago. A British PhD student did a long study on physical abuse and proved physical abuse always starts with emotional abuse. With her studies, she was able to get the laws changed to make emotional abuse illegal.
It would be great if the USA (where I’m from) and if Germany (where I live) would do the same and make emotional abuse and coercive control illegal and punishable.
@Diana DiTommaso he was also physical with her. he slapped her, shoved her, etc. just bc he has some scratches doesn’t mean she was some crazy aggressor. brian escalated the situation by withholding her property. if he had had a black eye or something it’d be different but he has barely visible extremely minor injuries so to use that as an argument to paint a murder victim in a bad light is ridiculous when there is so much context
imagine 2 homosexual couple claw at each other and the other one took the car and ride off, can we call one of the guy "stole" from his fiance? no, it is a "domestic abuse" because aggression within family, so the officer is correct.
It was really sad to hear the police officer say "when you grow up..." while he talked about that water bottle to Gabby.
Exactly. That cop is a real big man with his big man water and his little boy total lack of professional skill or psychological training. Clear case of abusive relationship and the female victim right in front him and he's so full of himself and his "39 years" of life on this planet claiming that's wisdom - when he's totally effing clueless. What a complete turd.

@@lisasmith7345 Yep! What's crazy is he asked her if he hit her. She said yeah. Then I guess. Then, well he didnt like hit my face, he grabbed it. She continued to minimize it and then turned it into her own fault. And the cops should know that its classic, classic, classic abuse victim behavior right there. Notice how they only called the one witness back too... the one that they knew saw her hitting him but didnt call the one that said he was hitting her!?!?! Why not call *that* witness back?! Maybe because the officers had their mind made up already, who knows. Either way, regardless of how anything would've turned out in the future, they failed her right here in this instance. So sad.
I don't understand why they never called the person who called in and reported seeing Him slap Her. They talked to that other witness but never followed up with the caller who initiated this whole stop. If everything we suspect about Gabby's relationship with Brian is correct, she would have needed some corroboration from the witnesses as to him abusing her in order to even consider admitting he hit her. Right?
I couldn’t even imagine how these officers are feeling right now, more likely they cannot sleep well after this catastrophic incident that has taken place.
these Cops are totally BIASED and IGNORANT! they should be properly trained and/or DISMISSED! And the fact there was a mature aged Female Cop who didn't take Gabby to one side for a Chat absolutely APALLS me! I would expect more for my Daughter! they got blood on their hands

I agree, the woman police officer should have spoken to Gabby!!

I hope they never sleep again !!!! LOSERS
I don't think they lost a bit of sleep
@@syritasdoneitgoodytwoshoes2471 the cops did what they're trained to do. 2 witnesses saw Gabby as the aggressor.. How are they to know she would turn up deceased? The cop was trying his best to help her get what she wanted. What would you have them do? Arrest the male when clearly he is not the aggressor according to both their statements and those from the witnesses? Nothing in this video alerted me to the fact that Gabby is being abused.. You're all sitting there and using hindsight to assess what could or should have be done. Fact is, the police did their job and beyond. It's extremely heartbreaking to hear that Gabby is deceased but that's on who ever killed her, not the cops!
I see sheer terror in this young woman. Any woman, at the thought of being stranded, thousands of miles from home, out in the middle of nowhere; in the wilderness, would be terrified of abandonment. No money, no phone, no friend/family to call, no food, no water, no shelter, no transportation, no way to defend herself.
I think Brian, had done this type of psychological threatening to her, many times before.
I heard them both, on other body cams, say he was in the habit of withholding the van keys from her, and another witness said they saw her trying to claw her way back into the van, through an open window, while he was locked inside. I heard somewhere, that the van title was in her name only; she was legal owner of the van. Why didn't the cops cite him for speeding and wreckless driving? Did they ask for license and registration? That would've shown them that legally, they would have to remand physical possession of the van, to Gabby. Maybe, I don't remember, but I also don't recall seeing them issue a citation for his driving violations. Maybe that footage simply hasn't been released, yet.
Brian, was also in the habit of taking possession of, Gabby's phone. Couple, or no couple, my phone, is my phone. It's my private possession, and just like my purse, you don't mess with my phone. First, Brian, says he doesn't have "...his phone." Then he corrects himself, and tells the officers, he doesn't have "...a phone." Then we see Gabby, telling officers that Brian, is in the habit of letting his phone battery wear down, and we hear her parting message to him, is to make sure he has his phone charger.
Having lived with NPDs, it would be typical controlling behavior, to feign being "absent-minded," and allowing a phone to discharge its battery, in order to have an excuse for needing to "borrow," the target's (Gabby's) phone. Then to dominate possession of it; controlling not only the phone, but Gabby.
I don't think I'm too far off the mark, to say that this fear of being abandoned, controlled her every thought, action, and decision. And that it was why she refused to accuse, Brian, of anything abusive, and vehemently protested a separation. She knew he would make her pay for it later, or possibly take off in the van, without her.
My belief, after a lifetime of experience with narcissistic abusers, is that Brian, used his dominance over the van, as a tool of power, control; an emotional weapon with which he psychologically "beat", Gabby, over the head. I think he had Gabby, in constant fear of being completely, and utterly abandoned out in the middle of nowhere, in the wilderness, all alone.
And isn't that what he ultimately did to her?
I imagine these officers, are grieving over this. More training for cops, especially in how to spot NPD behavior, and an on-staff, professional psychologist, trained in DV, AND in Narcissistic abuse, (not many are) is desperately needed. Calling a trained professional psychologist to the scene, is no less warranted, than an ambulance would be for physical injuries. Gabby, was clearly suffering emotional trauma.
Womderful comment, so well expressed.
Yes with the on hand assistance of a DV trained staff. DV trained should be on hand to DV incidents. Mental Health first aid too. Gabby needed mental health first aid as she was displaying mental health distress, even verbalising her disabilities. However she still may have refused this help as she has autonomy.
Should they have also referred this to some kind of safeguarding team, I feel they should have had a referral to safeguarding because there is evidence of domestic abuse.
If Gabby had been physically bleeding she would have received physical first aid. So why did she not receive mental health first aid for her verbalised anxiety distress.
The officers put the law first before health. Gabby's mental health needed professional care, but they put that to the side to focus on the law.
The comments on this thread are the most salient and cogent I have read in all of the posts I have read under the vids regarding this tragedy.
One very important detail about Gabby is she seriously did not want to be alone! After watching both of these videos my heart breaks because her panic is very real. Her family would know if she suffered panic/anxiety attacks throughout her life & if she hated to be alone? She's terrified & a panic attack will do that to a person. Bless her heart, I so much wish this story had a very different ending!
Why did they assume it was HIS van. He was controlling and manipulating the situation. I've been threatened, he said he would "bury me" and physically abused years ago by a sociopath who played the victim. Police need better training to spot this.
Typical bonehead chauvinists. LE is loaded with types like this.
Because he was driving it when they first spotted them?! Idk.
And the Cops didn't even ask Brian if he had consumbed Alcohol as he hit the curb. One officer did ask Gabrielle if he had...
I agree. I’m also curious why they didn’t ask for insurance and ownership. She had every right to climb into her vehicle. Her being called the aggressor added fuel to the fire and boosted Brian’s narcissistic mind.
Prob b/c he was driving it
....
So ironic that the officer actually described Gabby’s condition/situation at minute 31:28. So sad that she lost her beautiful life and future.
Exactly so sad how this whole situation worked out 😢
I know! So unfair! :(
It is truly a shame. That cop is such a good dude. I respect him a lot and it just so happened that BL was going to kill her regardless, nothing the cops could have done.
I caught that. It made me so sad.
This is not the bearded cop who already decided she was the aggressor and wanted to press charges. The bearded cop has a 666 tattoo in his left hand.
This is the cop who asked Gabby about her bruises and marks, he was the one who asked gabby if she grabbed the wheel and he was the one who asked brian if gabby had control of the gas pedal too (like he was not eating is bs), but the bearded cop seems to be of a higher rank and took control of the narrative, and the others went along with it.
This was the only cop looking at her bruises/marks, the others just looked at Brian. At this time he kinda describes what he thinks it might be happening but the narrative is against her and bearded cop is salivating for giving gabby a criminal record, so this cop right here is trying to don't do it by asking her if she had "intent", if there was no intent she can't be charged, unless brian charges her ofc.
With that bearded cop on command there was nothing to be done, he's a rotten apple and is the highest in the hierarchy.
The lady is a park ranger, not a cop, she was just called in case Gabby needed a female to support her, open up or even check on her.
I believe his parents knew that he had a really bad temper and their relationship was not a very good
Her father said he never liked her boyfriends. He called him Brianna. Is on an interview he made with Dr. Phil.
If his parents thought that, why were they still allowing him to live at home at 23 years old?
They neglected his mental state or probably created his bad mental state :(

Werent you listening? she was the aggressor,not him.
She’s too innocent
She can’t even defend herself by talking they didn’t listen to the few words she tried to say that it’s so annoying
She talked a lot to the female officer. Her body cam footage needs to be released too.
Agree with your comment about Gabby being "too innocent". While she was 22, she seemed more like a 16 year old kid -- way younger than her real age. She needed help out there in the middle of nowhere . . . and didn't get it.
@Gucci Chan What’s wrong with you !!
It makes me sick how she was not important to anyone at this point.
Elaborate please?
I feel like this enabled him to a whole nother level of ego and narcissism he knew he was in complete control smh it kills me to see her like that
Right. I’m sure it was all woah Gabby don’t get aggressive or I could have you arrested while he did whatever.
I hate waitresses and cafe service but whatever he got mad about he could of talked to the manager to complain. My orders get out wrong all the time. I get mad I ask for the manager and complain and most often I get my meal free or another meal something and apology so whatever he got into in the restaurant was a waste of energy time and whatever and gabby tried to calm the situation. He just sounds like a worthless person. Cops helped brian kill her. It very sad. I know soon they will quit looking and the case will go cold and he will contact the dirty laundries and go on like no big deal. All this is unacceptable. The cops the laundries the lawyer who knows where brian is at and brian himself

@@amandalidey329 right on! God bless you
Gabby was in denial about Brian. Denial is real & protected her from realising the truth that Brian was abusing her & their relationship wasn't healthy or loving any more. This happens in dysfunctional, abusive relationships. Things could have been handled better to save her life, but ultimately Brian Laundrie is the one to blame for Gabby's death!!!
probably afraid he could have told her if you open up your mouth that will be the last time you ever do I see through Norman Bates he even looks un stable if you watch his behavior
He was manipulating her. She couldn’t see it. Jekyll and Hyde is what Brian was doing. Brian is a psychopath
Apparently she had told her Mother that she doesn’t think they had a future. Her friend said he was terribly jealous, didn’t like her going out with friends etc.
Yes. It was a toxic relationship and like many girls they don't realise it or don't want to admit it. Pity she didn't dump him at the first sign of the relationship turning aggressive.
Spot on.
i’m really interested in seeing the lady officer’s footage, i feel there’s even more insight we can get on the situation from that too
She’s a park ranger, not police
Me too, both Park Rangers had body-cams I believe.
The male Park Ranger spent 90% of his time close to BL, and his footage of all the interactions plus the contents of the van etc is vital. I presume the FBI &/or Local Police have secured all audio and body-cam footage taken. The mask-wearing park Ranger was somewhat odd, and ended up very pally with BL - fist pumping just prior to the end.
@@ereyes621 Park rangers can be law enforcement.
She did have a body came though why isn’t it public by now!
Agreed
The parents of Gabby should use this department. The information about him slapping her wasn't passed on to the patrol officers. They made a bad call
They were told. They didn't show the part where he says they were called because someone saw a male hitting a female, and that's why he stopped them.
Brian manipulated the authorities here, and now his family is doing the same thing.
I cried so bad when she broke down about the charges against her. And being separated from Brian because she has such bad anxiety and didn’t want to be alone. An she was shutting down an didn’t want to say what really happened cause she could tell they already had their mind made up that she was the aggressor. She was all alone with that monster an felt she had no one. An the sad part is she was so sad an broken before her death! He’s a monster! How can a man that says he loves his woman so much be the one hurting her and seeing her cry an hurt! First red flag is when a man/woman doesn’t care about your feelings an only what they think an feel is what matters! Such a sad case 😢 I’m heartbroken for gabby and her family! An these videos make it even worse cause we see her so broken an now we know what happened to her! So beautiful to fly high beautiful 👼 🙏 🤲
He didn’t love her. Look at his movements, the way he talks. He’s a liar and not a nice person. He killed her! It’s so heartbreaking
😢😢😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What I don't understand is why did they not take any pictures of her body cuz she did have injuries ? I don't understand why they couldn't just take them both down to the police station. I think they needed to sit down with both of them separately I feel they could have took more time. I wonder if it's even possible one day that they could ever have someone with educated on abuse altercations and have these people called on the scene or there they bring people to the police station for questioning. So nothing goes unnoticed and missed Take pictures of both people no matter who started it because these officers were not there and you have eyewitnesses sometimes that can help put these things together cuz there are witnesses that do call like they did in this video. I'm also curious as to where's the other 4 body cams are.Would be good to see this at all angles so nothing is missed because at a time. The other officer goes back to the car or on their phone and we don't see the other piece and it's like there's a piece missing still. Also I'm curious if the restaurant had any camera footage inside or outside and also at the hotel he was later taken 2. The other thing that's so upsetting and heartbreaking is there handing the keys to her when she's so upset it's like they're not offering her a ride or offer to follow her to make sure she's makes it safely to her destination safely and a place to stay cuz this girl is so upset I don't see how she was able to even drive I know I can't. What cop would think this is okay and someone so upset to leave this woman alone to go drive and find a place to stay she needs some help and assistance to not just Brian. Maybe just maybe she would still be alive.😭😥😪💔
He’s a pure narcissist. My ex was a narcissist and I’m lucky the judge listened and placed a restraining order on him. He can’t come near the children or myself. He can’t hurt us anymore. His only means of abuse now is with holding support payments.
Can you imagine what a night in prison would have done to her
No one listens no one believes her cos the cops said she's an abuser. How devastating for any human to go through.
He has a smile on his face. It’s a smug look I’m sadly familiar with. Sickening that the police didn’t catch on to this.
I can't believe how fn accomodating the police were to both of them, but especially BL's narcissistic @55! I've never known cops to be so accomodating to anyone. Unfnbelievable! How about asking the right questions, like who's the vehicle belong to? Why was he keeping her from her things? They saw she was anxious and even mentioned that she displayed abandonment issues. They need to hire people who understand how narcissists operate. They had only 1 female officer on the scene who's opinion I'm sure would not even matter. When Gabby was asked what her intent was when striking BL, she clearly states that she was trying to prevent him from keeping her from HER PROPERTY and the cop just blew past that still painting her as an aggressor. They never ran the tags or even asked who's vehicle it was.
It's a &hit eating grin on his face the whole time. You're right - it's absolutely sickening. And what's more, the cops practically joining in, taking his side, practically identifying with him, with an attitude of cuz you know, those "crazy" girls! Can't live with em can't live without em am I right? Well, you can live without em, but that wouldn't be fair for THEM - with their being so weak and needy, 110 pounds when wet, and barely able to "handle" small vehicles and all, etc., etc.
@@notsousual2938 I agree with you. The officers had a fixed opinion in their minds and there was no changing their minds. Gabby told the cops that Brian had squeezed her face and it was completely brushed off as though it was merely self defense. The officers had Gabby questioning her sanity. All the blame was placed upon her. It was definitely not handled properly.
@@tinaperez7393 completely agree with you regarding the cops joining in. One officer even brought up one of his own exes! Completely offside.
Even the police were telling Gabby to 'calm down' and 'stop crying'!! Jesus, that is chilling. The police were using the same automatic responses as Brian…
Yes. So awful.
I'm a therapist and the first thing you learn is to never use the phrase "calm down" when someone is upset. When working with an esclated child, I would say "take a deep breath", "sit down and slow your breathing"... anything that could be calming and help de escalate.
Its men.
He was in fix it mode is all which is how guys usually approach problems and so he was saying hey look it's fixed no need to cry. He meant well but she's not a freakin dude.
When the senior cop asked her to be very careful with her response and he asked her why she 'hit' Brian, she clearly says she was trying to get into the car, trying to get her car back. HER car. Why didnt they pick up on that. It was her car and Brain was trying to drive away with it. Showing clearly he is the aggressor. Boy these Cops were all over the place. Two many at the scene, mainly males and they spun a narrative full of assumptions without truly listening and speaking with all witnesses and Gabby. Such a tragedy that could have been prevented.
Stop acting like you would have done better. You never seen this coming. Nobody did. Stop acting like you knew what was going to happen.
I agree! To much talking and not enough listening and asking open ended questions. So it just allowed Brian to say yes to everything they said. They even put words into her mouth by saying do you want me to tell him you love him? She didn't want to tell him that you can clearly see the blank stare. She just wanted to remind him to take the phone charger.
They are an embarrassment to the uniform. Bunch of clowns. Good boys club. Clearly Gabby was the victim
@@sparklingfashion6276 as a police officer you have to hope you would do better. As a civilian of course you wouldn’t see this coming. However so many red flags came up that a police officer should have seen an acted on.

This is so sad, I can't even imagine what her family is going trough.😭😭
It’s heartbreaking. It’s all over the news and they need privacy and peace to grieve. Gabby is a sweet soul.
His arrogance is ignored and her attempt to discuss the issue is seen as arrogance! Locking her out and forcing her to walk and keep her mouth shut is seen as reasonable?? This is a young woman being bamboozled by the police! They know very well a victim will lie to protect a man. She is crying and is the one putting herself at risk of arrest for protecting him. She has no idea all his games were narcissistic abuse and staging and framing games and stirring up the mob and playing the victim. Common thug!

She was on the phone with her parents during the stop, when she was alone in the car, although we don't know exactly what she told them (I understand you're saying the police should have contacted her parents themselves). Also, I'm not sure if they would really be allowed to do that, inform the parents of the situation, no one was arrested, which, by law, is public information but it probably still falls under the same law, and is public information (details on the stop).
They are supposed to assist.
She’s an adult .. over 18 government doesn’t care about parents
The good citizen who called 911 was not calling to say Gabby was beating up Brian. The 911 caller was saying "something's wrong". I understand the cops are trying to cover their asses, can't blame them for that. But, don't you agree, that's what a coward does? Hero stories, like Die Hard or Dirty Harry is about cops who aren't cowards fighting for what's the right thing to do. Gabby's story is about police that are focused on not being reprimanded, not about doing the right thing. At the end of the police discussion, the cops spent half the time worrying about being reprimanded for making a decision the attorneys are not happy with. Instead, the primary concern should have been 1) Gabby's safety. and 2) Must be said, the male's protection from a female
Yeah, I was wondering where her parents were in all of this but the cops did their job. I really think they did the best that they could do
She wanted to say so badly, that he was the primary aggressor. And that he’s been abusing her. But she couldn’t. Because she was doing everything in her power to cause no trouble or to speak up for help. This video will forever haunt me and break my heart. Rest in Paradise Gabby. We miss you everyday. 🦋
You even heard her say that she was the aggressor,not him.
That is why a lawsuit against the police is not going to work.
Are you projecting? She admitted that she was the primary aggressor and he had the most injuries.
From the police report.
On Gabby, there was a mark pointed out on her left arm as well as a scratch on her left cheek. On Brian, injuries were pointed out by Park Ranger Ryan Kral near his right eye, left side of his neck, left side of his nose, center of his face, bruise and bleeding on the right side of his head, and a red mark near his right bicep/tricep area."

BS, he didn’t want to have her put in jail at all in any manner. She was definitely the aggressor, admittedly grabbing the wheel & striking him with punches. She wasn’t as much a victim as people are claiming. She was just as much aggressive towards him & other’s, and all the witnesses claimed she was the aggressor & would not stop. She was punching him and witnessed. He was trying to get away from her to allow them both to calm down. Other’s also commented prior to her body being found that she was going after him at other camp sites as well.
@@mysticdragon111 You're on to something there. They were relating like bros, and not relating at all to her. Frankly, putting her in the car and letting him stay outside to yuck it up with the cops probably wasn't wise.
Well that’s what narcissist Democrats do.. always the victim...
Brian says he doesn't even have a phone in the beginning... Few minutes later He's holding his phone is his hands.
I know, you just did your job guys, but really, you should have noticed his odd behavior. It's always easy to that that from the audience, I know, but really you had so many hints... Rest in Peace Gabby. Rest in Pieces Brian.
The last 2 sentences. Spot on !! 💯
“I didn’t have my phone. I don’t have a phone. If she goes off without me, I’m on my own.” - No, you narcissistic liar….that’s what you did to her.
Yeah the selfish self absorbed statement is irony. It's just too bad that the police didn't see or feel something could be brewing..
Didn’t he reach into his pocket and pull out…..a phone?
Why did he lie about having the phone? Had she already planned to ditch it and get a burner so he could later say he got the phone because “he didn’t have one”?
@@bamamom0298 EXACTLY! He clearly said, “I don’t have a phone”, and yet pulls one out of his pocket! Why did they not pick up on that??
Projecting and gaslighting.
He had no other choice , and these cops set her up for some friends new in town
Why didn’t they check who owned that van. “If you want her to have the van”. It was not Brian’s place to make that decision. 🤦♀️
True
Well, I mean he left her the van.
The whole point of this comment is she was made the “primary abuser “ wouldn’t you be the primary abuser if someone locked you out of your car? His ass should take a walk instead of locking her out her own vehicle
AND he didn’t say a word about who owned the van. He just let the lie ride. And so did the cops.
"The spirit of the law is being lost on this one"..Understatement of the decade.
I fully understand why they r being investigated bcuz im baffled at some of wht im hearing…Jesus!!!
Women wanted legal equality...they got it!
@@jonnieinbangkok ok bud
@@jonnieinbangkok gtfoh!!!
@@jonnieinbangkok Can't get one, can you?
At 31:38 he literally explains the whole situation that Gabby’s going through. I just don’t understand how they didn’t notice it especially with Brian’s behavior the entire time.
So morbid… in hindsight.
222...
This is sad to watch. Poor Gabby. I may not know her but how could anyone hurt a petite little woman? Like most men, seeing her cry made me feel just aweful. I'm sorry for what's happened to you Gabby 😔
Very hard to watch. When the officer explains it’s to protect women who downplay abuse. . . and eventually get killed- while not realizing that I as exactly what was in front of him. Sad how they twisted the witness. He called in to protect Gabby. Clearly he had a sense of what was happening.
My guess, Cause he is a petite little man and can’t handle it .
Petite petito
@Elana Nazari I wish they would have jailed her she would have safe there
@@1maniemar they do that too in abundance. They charge women instead of men. Abused women have criminal records, but abusive men have pat on the back by the law. That's scary.
It's unbelievable how concerned these cops were for Brian's safety from this lil gal, boys club at its finest
Yeh and did you notice how many times they made her repeat the way she scratched his face ! ?
This was so hard to watch! The cop talking to her is a douche. Primary aggressor my ass. Poor poor girl. I wished she called her dad. Brian is a smug smug pos.
17:50 "you trust her with your vehicle?" Brian, without missing a beat, "Yeah she can handle it" What? Why not correct the officer and tell him it's her van, especially since they are talking about taking her to jail if she doesnt have anywhere else to stay the night.. what a jerk.
Did you notice how in the other video how he drops in she's crazy then doubles back and trys to make a joke of it
That is what he wanted from the beginning to take her van and her cell and leave her with nothing.
Cops were not awake
@@DimplesGenX im thinking now, what if he really did it and just left her, forever, yes, with no van and money, but ALIVE
@@marinafilippova2126 I’ve wondered that, too.
WOW, HE LITTERALY CALLED IT AND HIT IT ON THE HEAD when he was looking up the assault law. He says the law is important and set for a reason bc usually the victim doesn’t want to be separated from there abuser and doesn’t want them to be charged or anything bc they love them so much and can’t be without them but the victim ends up being killed in the end.. EXCEPT THEY HAD THE WRONG PERSON AS THE ABUSER IN THIS CASE!!!!!
Anxiety does that too. Not wanting to be alone. But if the witness, when he called him to find out what exactly he did see, would of said yes he hit her then it would of all been different. But he retracted what he said and said he didn’t see him strike her, he saw him push her. But couldn’t decipher if it was in self defense but he did say he saw Gabby hit him. It’s all just a shame. If she was scared of him, I don’t think she would be smacking him. Thing is they both are young and like the one officer said “don’t have the life skills to deal with it. It came to a head and he ended up strangling her. I doubt intentional but it happened. If she was already winded like she was here at first and so upset, he might if grabbed her just at the wrong time to say “ugggghh just stop”. Who knows but he panicked then and the last text send to her lol was suppose to go to his mom. I guess her ex partner lives in Mexico and that Stan is where his parents got him to so he could live there and not be in prison. I don’t know why they spend so much looking in the same area now. He’s not there. He should turn himself in but he’s a coward.
The person who hits the other person is the initial agressor. Gabby hit Brian.
I think Gabby had the money
To the people out there still defending him, answer THIS... how do you ACCIDENTALLY strangle someone to death?! Possible, but not likely... and why'd he hide?
He was manipulating the situation by acting calm and collected to make her seem guilty. 😡
I know it takes many forms but Gabby begged them to let her go back with him for the night. Not helping the issue. It is over and they are both dead. It is a moot point
I'm so disappointed in these officers, probably the last to see her alive. It's HER vehicle you fools
Aren’t cops supposed to check license and registration? Who’s van is it? Oh yeah, not Brian’s. It’s so frustrating to see these fools with three brain cells be so persuaded by obvious lies. Brain says he doesn’t have a phone, then three seconds later whips out a phone in front of the cops. Jesus 🤦🏽♂️
The cops mishandled this situation, big time.
I agree completely! She could still be alive if these police did there job correctly!
Its not anyones fault but Brian's that she is dead
ABSOLUTELY
@@brandonhughes8258 the police officers weren't knowledgeable enough to recognise an abuse case. Her being as emotional as she was should have been a good indication of her being in an abusive relationship. She put up with his abuse because she truly loved him and in her head kept telling herself that things would eventually get better for the 2 of them! These kind of relationships never get better but eventually end up in a terrible way. Thank God she didn't have children with him! Think of all the women that lost their lives along with their children to these kind of men. How can anyone kill the one they supposedly love along with their own children and be so calm about it as if nothing ever happened? She's dead and he's hiding out like the coward he is! He didn't love her, if he did he would come out of hiding and explain what happened.
@@francespelletier175 ..exactly 👌🏻
You can see she is broken from all the abuse. So sad to see her crying in this video. Makes me so sad to know that she died.😢😢
Me too :-( she deserved better 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭
🤣 yeah ..and all the marks are on him. Get over the sexism. Males can be the victims too. She was broken because she had anxiety and issues and was told she was going to get charged for being the aggressor and probably because she's used to never getting in your own for her actions.
“When you grow up and become a full grown man you’ll drink out of this” “when you grow up it’ll work itself out” buddy she won’t live past two weeks. Those jokes while she is this upset are inappropriate.
How he know that
He was trying to lighten things up. It was a joke. It worked... Gabby was able to take a joke and was visable relieved. I agree it was an off comment - especially 20/20 but at the time he was being jovial and endearing. Im sure she appreciated it.
He's not a man,he's a coward.
This cop sounds pretty immature himself. Talking non stop telling her how he could handle this situation because he has life experience. . It’s not about him but he sure likes to talk like it is. Lord help us with the caliber of a cop like this one.
@@heatherk9094 exactly. I was just appalled listening to this majorly immature, self impressed, idiotic, and lazy cop. What was so odd was how he just sat there (or stood rather) condescending down to that "little, 120 lbs when wet" young woman (as he CONSTANTLY repeated), telling her what a big man he was (with his big man water bottle ha ha ha - omg stfu) and how his age and life experience (and I'm sure he was thinking his also being his idea of a "man") automatically made him smarter and wiser than her when he was sitting there the whole time skipping necessary procedural steps and missing obvious cues left and right, completely blinded by his bizarre self satisfied concept of himself as a cop and a guy. BIG MAN SYNDROME at its worst. Just shut the heck up, guy. So many things wrong - and not at ALL cuz it's "hindsight" now. Major steps skipped and missteps that were glaringly obvious AT THE TIME. Uggh.
The officer loves the sound of his own voice…TOO much talking, NOT enough listening. Beyond Frustrating.. So very sad
It is because alpha types and adrenaline junkies gravitate toward this type of job. It is a confidence by nature rather than confidence by experience and thoughtful deliberation. This officer probably has a bit of both going on for him at his age.
Also, you have the extraordinary benefit of hindsight and we still don't know exactly what happened, for instance, the cause of death. We just know that Brian is hiding.
Not only did they not help her ( THE VICTIM) !!!Long winded officer just loves hearing his voice and gave him (Brian) power to kill that poor girl.....SHAMEFUL !!
He says to the other male officer you make a decision, and then when he makes a decision he tells him no.
