She should of left him in Utah and contacted her parents are flew home, rather than stay with a crazy Narcissist! She didn't have to stay with him, let alone take a trip with him, we may never know all the details!
I have a theory. It's obvious Brian's parents knew what he did to Gabby. Brian knew what waited him in the near future, and he didn't want to live the rest of his life in a prison. I believe the parents knew and respected Brian's decision to commit suicide. That's why it was so important for them to make that one last camping trip before he went to do himself in. They knew where he was going to do it, and when the time was "right," they "found" his remains. How about that? Does anybody agree with me???
This has been my theory as well for the last few months. That’s more than likely why they took the camping trip together when he got home, one last family outing before things blew up bc they knew they’d never see their son again. They (his parents) knew the sh*storm that awaited them once enough time had went by. People wanna throw stones at the Laundrie’s, but if the same thing happened to my child (I have just one), I don’t know how I’d react because my INSTINCT would be to protect her regardless, ESPECIALLY since she’s an only child🤷🏼♀️ but ofc I would have overwhelming empathy for the victim, so I cannot say what I’d do. I can try to put myself in both families’ shoes, but it’s so difficult to say how I would respond. This theory is the ONLY thing that makes sense, Christina!!
They had no idea what he did, he likely said it was an accident or she attacked him. No one would ever just be cool with him taking his life that's delusional
@Christina 4yourpets - 🙋🏾♀️ Agreed! That's always been my thought too. His parents knew he wanted to die on his own terms rather than be 'locked away from nature' for the rest of his life.
@@danimotherofchickens479 I don't agree with u... THE FIRST day they searched for their son... they found him?? They knew exactly where to look. They knew
I cannot, just can not understand how a mother (she even knew Gabby, had lived under the same roof!) can let another mother suffer like Brian's mom did Gabby's mom (& dad and stepmom and stepdad). It's so cruel.
It is well established that Roberta Laundrie did not not like Gabby & had been very cruel to her while she stayed there. Now we know Roberta wrote to Brian that she would get a shovel & help him bury Gabby. Super sweet. Mom-type.
And for any young ladies ,middle-age ladies or even elderly, this goes for men as well, if someone is abusing you that is not love, try your best to get away and stay away, I know it’s hard, the police fudged the stop, blaming her, having said that, she wouldn’t leave him ,she loved him….😥
It's sad people blaming the cops. They did the best they could with a bad situation. They got them apart for a time so they could calm down and not be so heated with each other. They had no idea this guy was going to kill the girl. Brian probably had no idea he was going to do that either so how could they know???
The truth is we can only speculate. His parents probably knew the most about their relationship as a couple since they lived in their home. Was there jealousy on his part or her part? Why were they getting married and going on road trips if their relationship was strained? There is such a thing as emotional manipulation and abuse which can sometimes be even worse than physical because they create an invisible prison like situation where a person feels trapped with a selfish narcissistic abuser. Normal people dont really know the signs to look for. Since I saw this couple its so easy to look at her as the victim and him as the mean murderer. But no one really knows. Did one of them suffer from some sort of mental illness? So many things could have gone wrong. What I think is very important is for parents to be able to build a close relationship with their children so they can feel free to talk about anything and everything without being judged or told what to do. This means even when we strongly disagree with something they tell us, we need to stay quiet and guide them softly. The truth is once our children turn 18 we cant really do much to protect them other than advise and threaten😂 but the main thing I tell young people is to research narcissism and learn the behavioral pattern and if they find someone who has these to run away! Before its too late. What I find strange is do either of them have friends, ex girlfriends or boyfriends who can shine some light on the character of them. Regardless its very sad! Parents stop raising children to become selfish, entitled, and spoiled. This creates future narcissists capable of committing a crime when they dont get their way. Jails are full of them!
@@bigmacfullerton7870 The cop stated "I don't have a crystal ball". He wasn't comfortable with his decision but he allowed them to go and crossed his fingers and hoped for the best. If he had followed the letter of the law, Gabby would have been arrested. Instead, he allowed to volatile people to continue an an extended road trip. It didn't take a genius to see it wasn't going to end well.
@@eurodiaz3712 I get why you would say that. We seldom know murder victims. It isn't true or fair to think others don't care though. I personally have the blessing and curse of caring about everyone. I wish no harm on others but often think some deserve it. Try not to assume you know how others feel. It may not affect you, but it certainly does affect a great many of us.
@Somewhere Down The Road hahahahaaaa. We all make mistakes??? We all don't MURDER! That wasn't a mistake. That was a deliberate CHOICE and that coward ended his life so he didn't have to pay the consequences.
Well, I as a mother, would have done all I could and said all I could, to get my son to turn himself in if I knew he had committed a crime. Been there and done this twice in my lifetime of 75 years. Once with a brother, once with my son. Both turned themselves in for their crimes....hard lesson for them both, but, to this day both are alive, doing well and have changed their lives around. Brian's parents knew about Gabbys demise but did nothing
His parents have no morals so look what they taught him. My parents would insist I or my siblings do the right thing and turn ourselves in, and nothing less.
gabby was always High or Stoned in every photo of her .. climbing around mountains and canyons high as a kite is not a smart thing to do .. she could've fallen easily and caused the damage shown in her autopsy .. lastly, no the parents Did Not know gabby was deceased .. nor does any of us know if he killed her .. his writings showed he felt guilt, thats all .. but they both were on Drugs so who knows ..
His parents knew exactly what he did and helped him all the way to avoid being questioned/arrested. . They should be arrested in the case and charged for helping him leave or interfering/harboring, as he should be in prison for killing her. His parents must be idiots. They knew what he had done to her.
Arrested on what charge? Because of the Moab Police Report he probably could have claimed to be a battered male who was abused to the point of insanity.
Yes, they knew every detail of what happened, he called MOMMY right after he did it, that's why they lawyered up before he got home in Gabby's Van, backed it in the garage and cleaned it out asap! Then went on with their lives, until Red, white and, pathoon had that video that showed where they were, that's when they found her remains! Thank God for those people!
@@jeremyb7659 From mosesandrooth law firm: FLORIDA RELATED PERSON EXEMPTION Under Florida law, a spouse, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother or sister, or a person otherwise related by blood or marriage to the principal actor cannot be charged with aiding and abetting under most circumstances. However, extended family members could face charges, including aunts, uncles, or cousins. What is the rationale behind the related person or family exemption? The reasoning is that it is unrealistic to expect family members to turn in their spouse, child, parent, etc. The duty to one’s family will often outweigh any responsibility a person might feel toward their moral or legal obligations. As a result of these public policy concerns, the Florida legislature has carved out this exemption to aiding and abetting. Exception To The Exemption There is an important caveat to the exemption. If the crime involves child neglect, child abuse, or results in the death of a child, the related person exemption does not apply. Any family member, regardless of whether they are immediate or not, can be charged.
I have no pity or sadness for Brian’s death, he took an innocent life and bullied and abused her before killing her needlessly and then he took the cowards way out but he still said goodbye to his parents when he didn’t allow Gabby to see hers! His parents are as guilty as him by covering for him when he came home and giving Gabbys parents no contact to help them understand on any level where Gabby was even though Brian was home with them with HER van! His parents must have seen how he treated and spoke to Gabby when they were living there, they allowed their son to become this monster and then covered for him knowingly afterwards!! This is a horrific case but Gabby is the victim so let’s not show remorse or sadness for her coward murderer!
I agree. He'd probably show this behavior in even subtle ways when young. Narcissist behavior, put downs toward girls. Her parents are like many parents. They were fooled by him. He'd spent his life fooling probably his parents, too.
they should be charged for withholding evidence, they knew she was dead, may they get what they deserve and may we hear about it, he stole her van , he murdered her, stole money from her account when he had money in his account, , WHAT THA? the gates to hell are not open to him, i watched this all play out, from moab, she signed her death warrant when she appoligized for his bad bad behaviour at moab, i knew he was going to kill her, before Rose her friend came up, he hated her, i have had mental health experience, problem was i was in australia and couldnt do anything, helpless
I understand Brian's parents wanting to protect their son, but had they turned him in, he'd at least still be alive. Also, the Laundries were so cold hearted to Gabby's parents as they were wanting any info at all about their missing daughter, back when Brian returned with Gabby's white truck.
Bullsh#t. Nobody INCLUDING parents should COVER for a murderer. "Protect" means getting him an attorney NOT letting him escape from LE. They should have DEMANDED Brian tell them everything he knew the minute he walked in the door from the trip OR they were handing him directly to LE. So Gabbys blood is on their hands and so is Brians BECAUSE they LET him run away. Those POS parents are partially responsible for BRIANS death and should rot in hell once they die..

I feel badly for the people who originally called the police from the highway sensing something was wrong. They followed their gut which is also what the police should’ve done
Newscaster: “… a cross between a .38 caliber and a 457…”. There is no such thing as a “457”. This is the trouble with modern news reporting. There is no interest in being even remotely accurate when providing details about firearms, which results is the spread of disinformation, inaccuracies and confusion. Perhaps what confused this reporter is perhaps the revolver was a .357 magnum and its ammunition was .38 special caliber - all .357 revolvers can chamber (the round of ammunition, bullet with casing, will fit and fire) any .38 special ammunition. The chamber and barrel dimensions will accommodate both .357 mag ammo and the slightly shorter and less powerful (also usually less expensive) .38 special ammo. I am guessing this is what this guy meant and is confused about.
LIVE what the parents lived! WALK IN THEIR SHOES . THEN? Get back to us . you have NO idea how you would react in the same tragedy. AND NO! i'm not defending them, i just know there's much more dynamics that play a role than YOU COMPREHEND
@@forpetessake3532 that does not excuse how they treated the parents of their murdered daughter by his hands. They totally handled it completely and selfishly wrong. Giving them information so they have closure. They handled it like Gabby didn’t exist any longer so no problem. Their son committed a heinous crime. Not to much to think about here. Brian was not a victim. I mean not even an apology or to show any empathy towards his victims family. That’s unforgivable. But they have to live with it.
the parents aren't evil-- they didn't even know the reality of what happened and they had no information to provide. They told the cops from the get go where he went and guess what? Thats where they found they body. People just assumed the worst and accused them of withholding info. Everything they said they reported turned out to be true.. Everybody thinks they know it all and love to assume the worst in people
The police was searching that place for days. And found nothing. Then the mom and dad just walked down there and found the remains, back pack, paperwork, ect just laying out in the open. The parents should be charged.
Agreed. And now the Petito/Schmidt families have filed a civil lawsuit against the Laundries.. Good for them. I was afraid they would be too "nice" to pursue a civil case and I am glad to see them do this.
Common sense would say search near where the car was parked and where Brian's favorite place was( parents knew), but it was claimed the area was flooded, so they go waste time pretending to search because of all the Silence and Screwups by police. Now, if you went looking for your child assumed dead and go straight to his favorite spot, find a bag,; are you gonna walk right out with bag? Or start yelling and keep looking? I will always believe IF The Remains were Brian(?), He didn't kill himself( with his left hand), something terrible happen, Brian was shot , body was took to the Reserve and placed, ( and probably soaked with something so animals would get to the body faster.). Brian's parents house need to be investigated to see if there is blood splatter. Brian left his phone and wallet on his bed.( First claimed by his parents to the police). If that was true, THEY counted on Brian doing himself in, so wait awhile before reporting him missing. Most likely parents had made arrangements for Brian go live in another country or Island. He kept coming back home. What was there for Brian to be worried about? Police Never talked to him..
That is not what this report said at all. They said Search Teams and in no way would they allow his parents to search for him at the same time. And you are assuming all along that his remains were out in the open. Did you not understand that a bear or alligator found the body and dragged it out of the brush and ate his flesh in another place. This is often the case if two or more animals were after his body. The reporters here are misconstruing or misunderstanding the report. He shot himself out in the bushes and then some animal drug his body and this is why some parts of his effects were found 250 feet away. His parents may not have even known what he was planning. About 40-% of all of this is speculation about what is not in the report. You dont know what is not in the report and so if it isnt there you cannot decide why did he not have a cell phone, who knows maybe he did and the animal ate it by accident or he was drug right, maybe it fell out of his pocket. There is more to come maybe we should all wait until they release a final report and stop all the vilification of his family until we know for sure.
I'm sorry but my gut is strongly telling me that Brian's parents knows a lot more than they're willing to tell. I felt this from day one. I think his whole family planed this out and said their goodbyes on those two days that they were filmed going into that park.
I wouldn't be surprised if the parents were the ones who pulled the trigger. Him not wanting to spend his life in prison and them not wanting to go through all that visitations lawyers and seeing their child die in prison I wouldn't be surprised at all. It all been fishy since the beginning
I think Brian's parents were so angry at their son for killing Gabby that they shot him and disposed of his body. That could help explain why being right handed he was shot in the left side of his head. And that also could explain why they were there when they found him. They knew where he was.
Doesn’t seem logical as then why would they ignore the girls parents and mislead them if they were angry about what Brian did? He took off and killed himself! Parents were familiar with area he would go in that park so took long time to find his bones!
When Brian returned to his patents home, in Gabby's van without Gabby with him, his patents should have insisted that Brian tell them where was Gabby. And they also should have contacted Gabby's parents immediately. And also they should have contacted the police right away. Instead they all went camping. There's something wrong with this situation; esp. his parents. What is wrong with his parents. They should be held accountable for withholding pertinent information.
His parents should be in prison😡I understand protecting your child but he killed somebody so all bets off! He was a narcissistic psychopath and he manipulated Gabby💔🙏🏻I was hoping for him to spend his life in prison as punishment but of course he took the cowardly way out..I agree with you 100%! His parents definitely are not right in the head! For as much as I don't promote treating anyone like crap, I hope that their neighbors and anybody else that they come in contact with gives them hell. RIP GABBY🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😢😢😢💔💔💔
I must add (as someone who has worked in this field as a lawyer and victims advocate for many years) that abuse, domestic or otherwise, does NOT require physical violence in law. It shocks me how many people still believe that 'not laying a hand on her/him' means there was no abuse. The law includes mental, emotional and other non-physical, forms of abuse. This doesn't just apply i relationships either. It protects employees, children, all of us. Harassment, verbal abuse and bullying, name calling etc all CAUSE real medically defined harm. Just because there is no bruise does not mean there is no abuse. If you are living or working in an environment where you flinch when you hear a door open or close, feel sick in your deepest gut all the time, over-excuse abusive behavior because someone is under stress or having a hard time at work and much more, then you are in a toxic and most likely abusive situation. Abusers are actually NOT monsters anymore than serial killers are. They look just like the rest of us, they work and live just like the rest of us. They can be smart and funny and sometimes loving. I always taught my kids about 'the math'. If someone is loving and kind 5% of the time, the math isn't working out and it is not worth the damage to your emotional and mental well-being to have them in your life. It is scary to let someone go but there is a lot of support out there if you need it as well. Non-judging support whatever you choose to do (leave or stay). You deserve support. Have it!
What you said is totally true! I married a verbal abuser because my mother was even though every one considered her the salt of the earth. I wasn't "perfect" enough her even though she admired me in many ways. I have some thing on my wall that says "never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary" oscar wilde The abuse cycle is circular & keeps closing in on the other person.
I have zero sympathy for the Laundries. Had they helped the Petito family straight away I would feel very sorry for them as well, but what they did is let Gabby's family suffer for so long. They did not answer msgs when Gabby's mom was worried for both of them, thinking they are both missing, she did not know that Brian was home already for a week at that stage. The Laundries are some cold hearted people. I don't care at all how the coward Brian died.
The amount of ppl who believe that strangling someone to death could be an accident or a mistake that anyone can make is astonishing. Stop normalizing a murderer. It’s sad they’re both dead but only one of them chose to kill, twice.
He didn’t JUST strangle her. She had blunt force trauma to her head as well. Look at the new information released. He hit her repeatedly, that didn’t work, so he strangled her. He could have stopped multiple times. He didn’t. He’s a monster.
I don’t know who’s saying that about this case, but there is that case of that piece of crap in New Zealand “accidentally” killing his date by strangulation during intimate time after a date. Not saying it’s right, but after seeing that story, it seems it’s not impossible. You should look that story up, it’s pretty interesting but warning, it’s sickening. I don’t normally let things get to me but it made me want to vomit seeing how that guy spent his days after the murder because it’s all on camera. True psychopath
This is a horrible tragedy and I feel so sorry for Gabbys parents to deal with. My take on how the police department handled the situation when they were stopped is shame on you for being taken in with that guys fake being all charming, that girl should have been detained and she could have been saved instead of being at the mercy of that freak. I don’t believe that story about her being injured and just wanting to be out of pain, what crap. I know what it’s like to be at the mercy of a narcissistic psychopath.
it still makes no sense to me how police can search for him for WEEKS, and find nothing.. then suddenly his parents go out and almost immediately find him. something is fishy.
Yup…cover up. They needed to come up with something because the media was putting pressure on them and it was going to come down on them. Brian might still be alive. Too fishy..my opinion. No one has to agree with me..just my thoughts.
EXACTLY RIGHT. IT'S A HUGE COVER UP. Since his family member was his dentist and how his family was involved in planning to get him out of the country and helped him cover up everything since before he left her dead body and came home. I'm sure they emptied her belongings from that storage with all of her belongings as well to cover his butt with him. I believe his parents put that all out there themselves!!! NO I do not believe it's really him what so ever.
This happened because his parents allowed him to express his anger and frustration in a violent manner. Young Gabby would be talked down repeatedly by his parents(stopped her from going to authorities or family). When they were on the road no-one was there to control Brian's violent outbursts and they (his outbursts) became progressively worse. I am beyond sure this treatment of Gabby existed within the Laundrie home. Brian's behavior didn't start on the road, it ended on the road. I believe the parents are complicit and responsible in Gabby's death. R.I.P. Sweet girl.
" on the road , " this line alone , pulled aside & examined should be very alarming , there ARE noW!, tons & tons out there , wilderness camping in Van's, busses , what ever can roll!!
@@truthtoken2853 Tom probably just understands the dynamics of abuse and how it often involves co-conspirators, enablers, and a lot of gaslighting.

This video did not need an hour to give us all this information. Thank God for being able to speed it up I listen to this in 2X speed and still took forever. I genuinely feel bad for both of these families. saddened by the death of this young people that was pointless.
Thank you so much for your respectful analysis of this case. Your approach to this investigation as been very sensitive and not the usual response of the big media giants. Thank you so much once again of how you have reported this very sad tragedy, like you said, two young people, who I presumed at one time loved each other so much, have had their lives taken away prematurely, only them and God alone knows all the circumstances of the case. My heart goes out to all the families and friends who have been deeply affected by it all, their lives too will never be the same again.
They have made Brian look like a victim as much a Gabby was. That is an injustice in itself. I am so sick of the media showing Gabby with her murderer smiling and hugging. I am offended when they keep referring to Brian as Gabby’s Fiancé… their engagement ended and was voided when HE MURDERED HER. I HATE how Brian’s parents have been deferred to and coddled throughout this whole ordeal. They knew that their son was a sick sadistic person but they covered for him and allowed him to move his girlfriend in with him. I want to know what was in the notebook. We don’t HAVE to recognize “privacy rights” of dead murderers. I want to know if Brian has ever been diagnosed with having a mental illness? I want to know why they allowed him to obtain a gun when he is clearly disturbed? These people have been allowed to cover for their son all of his life and now they are covering for themselves as well. Gabby DESERVED BETTER! All VICTIMS OF DV DESERVE BETTER!
He was treated like a victim when the cops stopped them both as well. Leave it to the leftist propaganda pushing media to make a cold blooded killer look like a poor victim. They'll probably have a statue of Laundrie in a town near you very soon.
The pics you posted of Brian and references him as a "young man" making a bad choice is really giving him too much sympathy and compassion. Trying to reason why this " young man" went off the rail and murdered his loved one is crediting him more than a narcissistic cold blooded killer. A male yes but not a man
How could you kill someone you loved at some point instead of simply leaving them alone? I can't imagine having the energy to do something so terrible knowing it could have been avoided. Taking her life meant he was taking his so no matter how it ended, it's just sad... especially as a mother of 2 boys
But it happens all the time. Brian was a narcissist. He never loved her, he is incapable of actual love. His self esteem is what matters, and he would kill to protect it, yes. He needed to continue demeaning her, emotionally and physically, bc she was inferior in his mind, he had to do this in order to feed his narcissism. He was angry that she was becoming successful on Instagram, he couldn't take it. There were probably other things as well. By the way, it is known that the act of choking a woman, in terms of domestic abuse, if choking or attempts to strangle happen, the woman has a very high statistical probability of being KILLED within a year of the first episode of being choked. Not other kinds of abuse, but hands on a woman's throat, specifically, has this reliable probability. Brian had done it.
For all the parent haters. I would not aide my son if he committed a crime like this. And I would not assist the police in an investigation. This dude was a grown man. He made his own decisions. Leave those people alone
So pay attention ladies and girls. The guy was no bad looking. He was nice part of the time, when it served him. He obviously played the "I'm sorry" game or she would have dumped him way back. He most likely demeaned and devalued her also, told her everything that was wrong with her and diminished her self esteem. Don't stay with a guy like that. First time they run you down or slap you let them know you are done with them, then be done. There are guys out there that are not verbally and physically abusive. They probably are not going to put up with you playing games with them, but they are not going to hit you or scream names and insults at you. A real man will simply walk away and be done with you. Real relationships are built on mutual respect, not "one upping" each other. Real breakups don't end in death either. Adults get out of it and MOVE ON.
When you are gonna break up with an abusive guy like that, you don't tell him ahead of time. Leave the situation, get out when he is not present or is somewhere else, then make it clear when he tries to contact you.
@@deeandrews7051 If they have hit you or threatened you and you are living together, absolutely do not tell them ahead of time. I agree. At the same time there is a point when you do have to be clear that you are not and will not be with them, to be clear that you are saying "NO". Don't let there be any confusion. Also do not go back for any "one last time" games. Be gone, stay gone. MOVE ON.
Yeah. You can see it in moments when they were pulled over. He called her crazy jokingly. Talked about her ‘little blog’. The whole altercation was her fault because she’s OCD? And he locks her out of the van and tells her to calm down frequently?
@@pnwlady Wow. I didn't watch that whole video. I was so disturbed by the fact that the cops had zero recognition of his part in that, I couldn't. I would have been angry at an unhealthy level. I just went through that about those cops that beat that old lady with dementia in Loveland Co. I am still angry about it. It will never leave me. I just can't unsee that. I cared for my own mother with dementia until she passed, and I admit I would have hunted and killed any man that ever hurt her like that, cop or not. I cried for days after watching that video.
Sadly, many women simply choose not to see the signs and remain brainwashed and even in fear of losing jerks like this. Thankfully, I don't understand this mentality, but so many others fall victim to abusive men.
I may not have answered the “Social” question, but if my son came home without his girlfriend and there was no other explanation than foul play, I would have marched my son to the police station and told the exact truth at that moment. I wouldn’t have hidden snd protected him while the missing girl’s family pleaded for information. Brian’s parents raised and protected a coward
@@jaysilverheals4445 he came back to Florida once, and he never came back to Florida with Gabby’s car and no Gabby.

@@helenstockman3499 I read that they blocked the Petito's and refused to talk to them because Daddy Petito was leaving threatening messages. People really assume the worse about the Laundries. I completely understand why they remained silent.
The parents when they “found” him was strange. As a mother you would be hysterical regardless of what he did. She walked away as if she was irritated. The dad seemed sad but they knew what he was going to do. He decomposed so fast to be skeletal that quick.
You have to remember they were being watched and monitored and filmed for their every emotion and move and reported on. They were told by their lawyer to lay low and not speak or show emotions.
Brian's family is repugnant. They had so much awareness of what was happening and they did nothing. They are just as complicit in the crime as he is as far as I'm concerned. I believe they were aware he was abusive towards Gabby and again...chose to remain oblivious. They make me sick and I hope they get no peace for the rest of their lives.
Nothing happened that pushed him out of the edge i can't believe you're trying to excuse him. Abuse gets worse and worse. It usually starts with a push, a slap, a beating, and then choking. It really doesn't matter why because there's no why.
the numbers don't lie. Statistically stalkers and abusive mates kill their partner in The Break-Up stage. I'm certain that's what happened here. Gaby was done, and Brian couldn't handle it and killed her in a fit of rage. People with NPD cannot handle being abandoned or rejected. Brian was probably a classic narcissist.
I can’t believe these journalists are asking “why?” As if Gabby did something to trigger her assailant. Brian Laundry obviously had a history of abusive behavior and that’s why his parents don’t want his social history coming out
Brian left his cell phone in his car. His parents took his cell phone after they drove his car home. His parents also found him with the gunshot wound right before driving his car home. They never imagined it would take the authorities so long to find his body.
What I would like to see is Laundrie's parents charged with obstruction or other charges, if warranted. As is said below...they were cold and heartless to Gabby's parents about her whereabouts and apparently based on limited info released publicly...were never cooperative with police looking for Gabby's body. It is also a strange coincidence that Brian's parents "led" investigators to their son's remains. They did not appear to cooperate when their son returned home WITHOUT Gabby...but they knew where to find his body. As a parent of three adult sons...there is NO WAY I would act like Laundrie's parents EVER. I would do everything I could to find out what happened to any of my sons' partners or even a "missing date" and if he did something horrible...to take responsibility for his actions...period. If his parents attempted to find out from their son what he did to Gabby...we haven't heard about it. Murder means to do whatever is necessary for justice and possibly closure...even if it breaks a parent's heart. The Laundries need to be held accountable in some way for their lack of cooperation in...A MURDER. The pain and horror Gabby's parents must feel is impossible to understand. I have never lost a child...so I can only imagine their panic, heartbreak and misery.

She was failed by her boyfriend, the police, Brians parents who chose to cover up her disappearance like nothing was wrong… in my opinion Brians parents stood in the way of justice. They knew their son did something awful when he came home without Gabby, and in her van. They knew when he became a person of interest that he was going to run. They gave him a head start and didn’t notify police until days later. They should be held accountable as accomplices to a murderer
he was a grown man .His parents only knew what he told them ,you can only blame him .that's why His parents aren't in any trouble . know one has a crystal ball ,there is know one else to blame.
I believe Brian’s parents felt they “owed” him the “opportunity” of suicide because they recognized he was in all ways a product of their of their own deficiencies ... they created who he had become ... and so far Brian’s parents are the only ones who have not paid a price in this tragic nightmare they have caused & then made even worse by their victimizing Gabby’s family
How in the world can 2 Journalist not understand what a hand written 1/2 note means? It could have been an incomplete sentence, ended with a word such as "then" could have been a sentence with a coma, & the 1st letter(s) of a word, how is this so hard?!
“Now let’s talk about what’s in the notebook” *repeats nothing about what’s written. lol who else heard that 10+ times before they actually talk about it!
Drives me nuts!! The dude on the left repeats himself a hundred times yet adds nothing new. Yet talks about the work he did to get this info. Useless and irratating!!
Just to put a perspective on on brian laundrie's parents. I was in a abusive relationship. a very abusive relationship, and I was living with his parents and sister. They turned a blind eye to any and all abuse they witnessed and/or heard. They blamed me. Cause in their eyes their son couldn't possibly be the monster he was, it was me who was causing him to be this way. He threw his mother outside of a window, and the father did nothing but cover it up like they always did with me. If i had to go to the hospital they gave me the story to tell. I was 18 yrs old. He tried to kill me more than once, and if he had, they would have covered for him. After I finally left him for good he found me and my son. As his sister held my 3 yr old son in her arms, she watched as he used my car door to beat the living crap out of me to where I was unrecognizable. So I do not find it hard to believe that his parents have acted the way that they have. It just shows you just how dysfunctional this family was. which unfortunately was taught to him, and Gabby being so young, didn't know that the relationship she was in was unfixable. Side note: This man did spend 4 years in prison for the crimes he committed to me and my son.
@Kristine - Thank you for sharing that. I’m so very glad you are ok now & you were able to get out with your life…it sounds like you could have been k*lled by your abuser.😔 And I completely agree with you; it’s not surprising at all that Laundrie’s family covered for him. I don’t think they will ever come clean with all they know, & I’m sure any attorney they’ve engaged will tell them to keep their mouths shut or they’ll be charged with a crime. The Laundries do not care about Gabby or her family & they don’t care about doing what’s “right”. *Stay safe Kristine & my prayers for you & your son to have a wonderful life* 🙏
I’m so sorry you had to experience any of this. It’s just so sad. Be careful, The Devil can hear your prayers too. He doesn’t come with a pitchfork. He comes dressed as everything you think you ever wanted!!!
My SWAG- Brian had just made an ass of himself at the restaurant.. I believe that Gabby probably apologized for his actions to the staff and that set him off. This guy had anger issues.
Even before I watched, I guessed as much when I saw JB Biunno's name and picture. As I watched the story unfold, Biunno was the source of speculation, rather than fact, in almost all of the reporting I saw. Thankfully, I don't live in the WFLA area, and I am able to news reports instead of speculation.
1000% agree with you. Again, i will restate the most important reason, this was a medical examiners report by the state of Florida. This was not a FBI report, so any of the notions by the reporters that the Laundrie family was actually in the search party who found the remains is ludicrous, and its not what the report said nor even intimated.
Saddest story ever. And the bottom line is Brian knew he was a monster, and ultimately removed himself because of his crimes. His parents knew and were able to say goodbye. An act Gabby's parents weren't afforded.
@@Thatsswell-hr9ev Yeah.. they were able to. They took a final camping trip with the whole family. They got to spend last moments with their son. Gabby's parents didn't get to spend last moments with their daughter. Whether or not Brian's family really knew what was going on, they knew shit was about to hit the fan simply because she was missing and Brian would be the prime suspect. So you can't tell me they didn't take that camping trip with the intention of it being the last moments they would have with their son, either alive or as a free person. Their son comes home from a cross-country trip in a van that was also doubled as their "home" for the time on the road and belonged to Gabby, not even him.. then you learn she is missing, but instead of trying to help locate her, at the very least answer the pleas of Gabby's parents, they decided to ignore it and take at least one camping trip. So while it may not be illegal to do these things, it is still wrong. I would think most people agree on that. Roberta originally made reservations on August 24th for 2 people at a camping spot reserved at the Fort De Soto campground for 1st - 3rd of September. She cancelled those plans on August 31st and rescheduled the trip for 6th - 8th of September for 3 people. Cassie (the sister) came to visit Brian at the campsite on September 6th (first day of the trip) between 2:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. according to the Laundries family attorney, Bertolino. Note that is was mentioned Chris and Roberta left the camping trip a day early (September 7th), while Brian stayed behind. However, their attorney claims they all left together. I'm not sure if the parents leaving a day early has been confirmed to be accurate. There was also possibly a second camping trip with Brian, Chris and Roberta from around the 10th-13th of September, according to neighbors who witnessed them packing up the camper, attaching it to their truck and leaving. I'm not sure if that was ever confirmed though either. I will double check and edit to add later.
These guys are gonna take one hour to tell us what should only take 5 min. This entire case is still shrouded in mystery. The so called "mistakes" were rampant and we'll never know what actually happened ) other than that creep killed Gabby and then the coward killed himself. LE failed miserably from start to finish.
Bullseye. 🎯💯 Amongst the wildly repetitive, redundant, and verbose info that makes up pretty much the entire hour, here's what was "new": - a "half-written note" was found. It's contents are of course not revealed or elaborated upon. - there's another alleged notebook. Per Walt it was found inside a "fascinating" wooden box. No image is provided of said box nor do we find out what has Walt so suddenly and randomly mesmerized. And contents of said notebook, they're are of course not revealed either. There, that should save you at least 59mins. And if there's anything I failed to include, it's likely bc my brain immediately deemed it insignificant and/or inconsequential. Cheers.

I hope people realize that guys like this aren't crested overnight. His parents knew what kind of temper he had and what he may be capable of if not addressed, they enabled.
@@mmommo-hx4dx Oh, really, you believe this is something I'm just coming to realize now? I was left with a scitzophrenic, satanic pedophile. Others were just physically/emotionally abusive and made me watch them abuse animals... The abuse that I remember began when I was four. They were all about ten yrs older than me..They weren't held accountable because they happened to be Mothers nephews.. I was in a bodycast at 10yrs old from the abuse and neglect. I love it how many angry PEOPLE make assumptions based solely upon gender...not just MEN. Anyone can be an assumptive asshole, no matter whether they were born with a penis or a vagina.
No retort? How common an response from someone that feels the need to engage in babble that they have no ability to articulately defend when their "group think" ideology is challenged.
Parents said when he first went missing that he left his phone at home when he left that day so that’s why there was nothing in the report about a phone
More than likely it was a .357 magnum. A handgun capable of firing the .357 Magnum can fire .38 Special, but not all firearms that shoot the .38 Special can fire the .357 Magnum. So he probably had a .357 and both types of ammo. 🤷🏻♀️ Come on Walt! Did you actually hear what you said!? 😂 (But hey it’s nice seeing you on the news again! I didn’t realize you went down to Florida! That was definitely a good move! 👍🏼🌴☀️)
My theory is… Gabby was done. When you’re in that cycle of abuse, at some point you finally crack and check out. I think he saw that he had lost full control of her and it made him murderously mad. I’d say it happened after the police incident, she was changed by having witnesses to her situation and truly hoped for significant change to come from it. When that didn’t happen, she visibly fell out of love. So he killed her.
Working with inmates for past 9 years I can tell you that many of these crimes are simply crimes of passion. Someone has poor coping skills mixed with a trigger that sets them off. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I should have just walked away".
@@celticfreckles1635 After the Moab police stop and their sending Brian to a hotel, (with "the genius of hindsight") Gabby should have just driven solo back East to her parents' house.
@@JudgeJulieLit but her denial and self blame tells us that she was stuck in the cycle of abuse which typically doesn't get broken with one night of sleeping alone.
The parents should not be allowed to keep any evidence private! If they want it after it's all released, then fine, but release it all! The local LE botched this case so bad. The laundries have made them look like the fools they apparently r. I'm tired of the laundries getting away with so much in this case & seemly having control, still!
Brian's parents deserve to serve the sentence their son should be serving 😤 How are they not charged with anything??? Like obstruction of justice??? WTF
@@Matthematic7 it's called obstruction of justice...period. Pretty sure we were all watching the same shit. Not sure what the fuck you were watching 🤔 🙄🤦♀️ My ex husband had that charge for not snitching on his own family for drugs. They deserve jail. I was looking at 8 years in prison against 3 people for self defense. They used me to tell people your not allowed to defend yourself. They thought we had money to fight for me. But I wasn't going to put my family in the poor house for an unjust system 🖕🤬🖕 I did my time 🖕🤬🖕 So I agree, they know someone that has power to protect them.
@@kellbell8198 Whether or not the Laundries are guilty of obstruction of justice depends on how much they knew and when. We have no idea if they were aware Brian killed Gabby or that he planned to kill himself. Their son arriving home in his girlfriend’s van without her wouldn’t instantly lead them to think Brian had murdered Gabby. We don’t know that Brian confessed to his parents.
@@Matthematic7 and again. I'm pretty sure his parents were watching the news?🤔? Definition: Aiding and abetting is a legal doctrine related to the guilt of someone who aids or abets another person in the commission of a crime. It exists in a number of different countries and generally allows a court to pronounce someone guilty for aiding and abetting in a crime even if they are not the principal offender. And how did they find his location before police...hmmmm??? Any good parents would tell their children to face the music. I did and didn't deserve it. They apparently don't have a conscience. Just watching the way everything transpired shows they definitely don't have one for Gabby and her family 😪 Almost seems like his parents may not of had any care for their son either. When I got in trouble for self defense, my ex got custody of our 2 children he didn't even want. But to get even with me, he ran away with them to Hawaii. Paid child support for 2 children I couldn't be apart of. Can't say that about him when I was raising them alone. But my oldest son ran away from him and came home an angry man 😭😭😭 It got so bad that I had to kick him out in order to protect my 12 year old and myself. He was cruel to his girlfriend. It's very heartbreaking. But you try to do what's right. Sounds to me like some selfish ass parents trying to protect their own reputation. And it's my opinion from personal experience. Where's your opinion coming from???
Can’t shake the feeling that Brian’s parents “found” him the day they removed the car from the parking lot. They then reported him missing and told the police where the car was and where Brian would “likely” be. Then they waited and waited and waited. When the cops ended the search they proceeded to “find” Brian for them. To those who have commented about the parents…I’m really on the fence with this. By the time they knew anything Gabby was already dead. Any attorney will advice you to keep your mouth shut. Even Gabby’s family didn’t note anything particularly off about Brian. Of course Brian’s parents would have known he’s a spoiled controlling hot head but murderer? Where it gets particularly murky is when they do not respond to Gabby’s parents. Again you have to make a decision based on legal counsel cause its not like we have experience. There was no saving Gabby at this point. I particularly recall their attorney saying something to the affect of he was happy to hear they were searching for Gabby in a particular section of the Tetons. This was BEFORE they found her and it struck me as odd that he mentioned a particular area. At that time there was discussion of them having moved on from there based on the “no service” text sent from Gabby’s phone. She ended up being found in the Tetons. The parents turned over the van. The house was searched. They reported him missing and told the police where to find hm. Imagine your world completely exploding when your son confesses to you that he killed his girlfriend. They called an attorney. Probably assumed the next step was walking Brian in to the local police. That’s NOT how it works. I just cant imagine having to walk in their shoes.
Yes. His dad knew then (when picking up the car which was before it rained) and wanted the police to find him themselves, then it flooded which was not planned. That's why the father walked right up to where he was after the water cleared up and pointed out where he was to the police after the park opened back up. The gun being rusted is it was under water and he already committed suicide before it flooded and his dad knew that. His dad wanted the police to find him, so they would not be implicated in any way and played stupid.
@@luvpamelanewton wouldn't doubt if Parents didn't shoot Brian and plant car and Brian. They say Brian was right handed, but shot with left hand, but no big deal. Earlier reports say Brian left his phone and billfold on his bed when he left.?
@@luvpamelanewton I think Sasquatch was involved. Brian accidentally killed her while trying to stop a Sasquatch attack. He knew nobody would believe him. Then Gabby`s parents murdered him when he told them what happened and made it look like a suicide so he couldn`t take a lie detector test because they plan to get a book deal and a TV series with Hollywood.
The parents wouldn’t reply to a desperate text message, pick up the phone, or say one single word to Gabby’s parents or LE until they knew Brian had ended his life and then all of a sudden they wanted to be helpful and look for Brian. Low and behold they found his belongings. Everything they did or didn’t do were all for selfish reasons.
The parents and family must have known he murdered her, they ALL met and camped when he returned! His parents helped him get away and knew he was going to kill himself AND knew the violence he had previously shown Abby that lived with them! THEY should be held as accessories to the crime and the neighbors should shun them as subhuman people😡
I blame the parents! They’re sitting there covering for him and “found” him when it was said and done! Literally they’re the example of why their son was a monster, and he was. Let’s not sugar coat this, he abused and killed the person he was suppose to love most in this world! And instead of the parents trying to do the right thing, they covered for him! Well when you have parents like that, how do you expect their son to grow up not taking life’s responsibility and consequences seriously! And as parents literally keep all that from her family and keeping quiet, that’s just agony! Just wrong!!
I can't understand how the shot gun could have been found in the bag with other things if Brian had really shot himself. I for one do not deep in my heart believe that Brian is dead.
So he commits suicide and his weapon of choice ends up in a bag. If he did indeed kill himself, the weapon should have been close to his body. Kinda sounds like a cover-up!!
Has anyone explained why the body was so decomposed? Did animals go after it? I have not seen anything. I here investigations are tainted just to solve a case. Did they really match dental records? Where is the proof?
They weren't covering...she was already dead and he killed himself....we don't actually know that he killed her or if so, why and how. All we know is she is dead and He is dead. And a partial note was found. We don't even know what it said. He could have easily just killed himself out of agony. She could have been strangled by someone else and he came back and found her. So much is unknown.
It's no big secret why Brian Laundrie killed Gabby - she was going to leave him (and probably tell her parents he was abusive). She wasn't happy with him, as she told the policeman who pulled them over - she stated to him, "He (meaning Brian) doesn't believe in my dreams," meaning her dreams of being a travel writer. Killing a girlfriend or wife because they are going to leave you is an age-old story. There is no mystery in this story!
I believe this also. In Moab the female officer told Gabby to think about her being in a toxic relationship. I forget the exact words. Eventually Brian went home to the storage unit. She was alone and serene while he was gone. When he returned the stress started again and she tried to break it off with him. And he killed her. I have always thought this. RIP Gabby. 💔
That crazy bish wasn't leaving him, he was leaving her and she flew into another violent rage. You can tell he was worn out, tired and over her high maintenance and hysterics.
@@emersonmanning6523 Exactly. This is the relationship that Johnny Depp wants to avoid - when the verbal fighting turns physical. Brian was probably trying to leave again and she went beserk on him and he lost it.
@@sr2291 Exactly! The Mary Piglets incident was probably the last straw for him and he told her such. She attacked him in Utah because he wanted some space, she would completely lose her mind if he wanted to call it quits and go home. The travel blog was her dream, not his, and she wasn't going to admit defeat and go home.
He didn’t really have friends. I watched the video. Roberta stayed in the open area while waiting for her husband to look. He went in one side of trail and came out right away. He went across and came right out with the white bag. He knew exactly where to look! Brian was not a victim! They allowed Gabby’s family to go through hell for a long time. They did not have the decency to even talk to her parents. If they supposedly did not know anything, they could have told them at least that!
Mark my words Brian started bad behavior as a young boy, maybe killing small animals and progressed to Abby. We will never know what all he has done unless his parents confess to covering up his BAD BEHAVIOR!! The Laundries need to be charged and be sued for everything they have by Abby’s family. NO it’s not about the money it’s about making them suffer for their part in covering up. I believe they could have stopped this if they would have spoken up before Abby went off on a trip with Brian. THINK there are many other parents out there that aren’t facing the fact that their child is mentally ill and after a killing they say OH he was a sweet boy - they are telling LIES LIES LIES. These parents are just a guilty or more so!! Our laws need to change and put parents in jail that assist their child. I am so angry over this happening!!!!
I’m sure Gabby’s family found out what was in that notebook. I don’t see why authorities would not tell them. It’s not like Brian is gonna face charges now.
The book should be given to gabbys family let them have some closer brians family had closer they knew what their son was going to do and what he did to gabby so the book should go to gabbys family i did not think that they had enough skeleton to believe it was brian Gabby praying for you and your family the right thing was to turn their son in if it is brian he was a coward GOD help you AMEN
@@dianeiaquinto2474 All they need to know is what was in the notebook. The notebook itself was Brians property so his parents should get it. And the autopsy shows that almost all of his bones were found so there’s no denying the DNA evidence that that was him. He’s gone. He was a coward and took the easy way out instead of going to prison. Both families have to live with this the rest of their lives.
They just said that, the parents know what was said. Either dad read it right then and there, or the cops told them, but as shiesty as the parents are, they asked LE to say they didn't know, so they would not be hounded by reporters again.
I think the notebook could still be evidence in Gabby's case. So the notebook should remain evidence and NOT given back. He could have written all kinds of stuff in it that would pertain to Gabby's murder.
why did no one win, he got to choose when and how his life ended, he should have been a man and faced everyone, he was a coward, an abuser, a piece of human feces. she suffered the horror of being murdered, its extremely suspicious how his family just walked the and found him
I live on the space coast…imagine my surprise when I realized that one of my favorite investigative reporters from Providence, RI is now working here in FL. Hi Walt 👋👋👋
Whatever they hold would be a lie, Brian would have never told his parents the truth. It would have been some lie like she attacked him or self defense. So no I don't think the world needs to hear Brains lies about Gabby trying to make her look bad, he's a coward he'd have never said what he did
@@danimotherofchickens479 considering she has attacked him it could be true, fact is she should have went to jail. Always feeling sorry because she's female when clearly she was crazy and abusive.
@@danimotherofchickens479 I agree! And if they knew anything of pertinent value...they certainly wouldn't share! They've proven over again what kind of people they truly are! Their interest is solely with their son...so lie they will and they have!
Exactly. I agree with you. He admitted he killed her according to his own words the FBI found. I believe his parents knew everything and helped him hide and go through with his plan. On the police stop it’s obvious that Gabby was in distress. I don’t understand how all the signs were missed. I have no sympathy at all for that family. Gabby’s family had to wait and wonder what happened to their daughter. It’s so very sad. I hope I never have to go through this with my daughter!!!!
@@emersonmanning6523 Because flying into hysterics and slapping your BF because he stole your ID and doesnt want two pretty women go out to a bar to drink alone at night is totally normal behavior. (Sarcasm) Looks like Gabby may have sealed her fate anyway by taking high risks.
@@sr2291 what high risks are you talking about. Waking up and breathing, having a boyfriend or was it being so sweet that that allowing her to go on and live her life without this sicko was putting herself in danger, oh yeah you deserve everything you get when you are a perfect partner. High risk too desirable
Brian's first grave mistake was letting his temper get the best of him when he killed Gabby. His second grave mistake was not turning himself in and begging God for forgiveness for his sins. He could have possibly spared himself eternity burning in hell. He escaped nothing by killing himself
You can now find at least one ‘notebook’ of Brian Laundrie online. I just read it, and within the notebook - white with blue ink😮He claims that Gabby somehow hurt herself (‘she had a bump on her forehead that got bigger over time)’, that he found her in water in a stream soaking wet, that he tried to carry her out of the woods, and finally laid her down and built a fire to warm her, but that she was shaking violently, ‘in extreme pain’, and that he kept having to wake her up fearing a concussion, and eventually he murdered her as an act of ‘mercy’, which afterwards he realized was a mistake..🙄 Now, the real question is…Do You actually BELIEVE that Story? OR Do You believe that like most murderers, Brian simply was deflecting and attempting to lessen his culpability of her ‘murder’ by claiming what he did was an act of ‘mercy’ instead of anger and domestic violence…🤔.. P.S. One of the Hosts made remarks regarding Brian’s phone; however from what I recall, Brian did not take his cellphone with him, if I recall correctly (it was mentioned in/on media reports at the time), Brian left his cellphone on the counter at his parent’s house, along with some other items..and eventually, it was turned over to Law Enforcement..(not immediately, but eventually)…🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I’m not even going to waste my time watching a video about the “grizzly” results of Brian’s autopsy. He deserved everything that happened to him at the end of his life and beyond. What’s truly grizzly is what he did to Gabby and then left her in the sun to rot like a dead animal! Then used her credit card on his way back home in Gabby’s van to his accomplices after the fact parents that wouldn’t even talk to her family! Brian’s parents are as guilty as Brian in my book! They aided Brian in his escape and they knew exactly where he was going to be so they could recover his body. They knew they were never going to see him alive again. There’s no other explanation for how quickly they found him.
You obviously have never lost your temper or became out of control or been temporarily blinded by emotion in your entire life, Sir. By the way... I dont believe you.
The credit card.... it was used between the two of them often, just like you might use your wife's or she uses yours. That's not really that big of a deal. Brian had 20 grand in his bank account it was later revealed so its not like he was a bum using Gabby for money.
@@brandonberiault7935 Yeah, most of us understand what's it's like to lose our temper. That's why we understand that losing your temper isn't an excuse to kill your girlfriend.
I have to thank you guys for all of the information you provide. Geesh…I remember giving up my obsession with this case right after they were found. I just moved onto other things. I go through several rabbit holes throughout the months, and here you are still covering what’s more. I didn’t think there was anything more to know. The world needs more passionate journalists. Thank you
Grisly details please spare us.! He murdered Gabby.! That is more than grisly to loss of her life to Gabby, her parents, relatives and friends.! Gabby was so young and had a bright future.! No graduation from college.! No marriage. No babies. And no old age.
such a sad story...Having experienced my only son dying at 21..my heart goes out to both families...no one should have to bury their child..but the Landries should have spoken to Gabby's parents when Brian came back without Gabby..I understand protecting ur child but right is right! Thank God that family seen that van that poor girl did not deserve to be laid out in the wild with the family having no closure..
The thing is they could have prevented their sons suicide. So he went to prison, at least he would be there to talk to, see, and that's important to parents.
It is sad that the public wants to know every detail. These things are sacred to the family. Let Gabbys family have peace, even Brians. You know the saying, Opinions are like --------, everyone has one. His social life can be dug up on internet. His parents handled it wrong, but his moms family is from another country. Americans talks to much. I just wish people would get over playing detective. No one would want this happening with there brother, son, daughter. The families need to know, we don't.
I understand protecting your child, too. Absolutely!! I'd be mine's #1 advocate. But right is right. No way would I have not contacted that girl's parents when he got home.
He was a coward,,I wish the police would of taken Gabby to the station in the first place to see how abusive he really was,,wish she told the truth in the first place it would of saved her life,,but it didn't happen,,prayers for the family
I think they have a weird twisted "honor" system. There was a young serial killer in our town/ A high schooler. His father was in prison for murder. The family was a criminal family. When he went into the courtroom, his mother was by the door and overheard by our son to say "I hope this makes a man of you." At the time- only one murder was thought to be by him until after they started piecing together circumstances of some "friends" he didn't like too much deaths including a boy who was dating his ex girlfriend he wanted to get back with (and did get her back and later set up to and did murder). His brother also went to prison for murder a year after him. The serial killer ended up dying in prison. Oddly he was sentenced to Youth Authority, a codefendant who wasn't a part of the plan but went along with it and helped try to hide the body got a longer sentence as an adult, though he too was under 18. The codefendant had a public defender, the killer had a private attorney hired by the family. Money talks. They are a twisted family and came to a twisted end.
Burning Question: did his parents know about the journal and notebook? Had they read the contents? What did Brian tell them about what happened and why? Basically, what did they know and how did they know it? As for being right-handed: MANY people are not exclusively right-handed, and could easily perform many actions with the left hand. So that part is not a real "puzzle" nor necessarily an inconsistency.
I believe in my heart his parents knew that's what he was going to do and I think it's appalling that they would sit back and let him do it they knew exactly where to go and where to find his body and did they not know where the car was too many things point that they knew I would never allow my child to do that no matter how in trouble he was
He deserved a headshot to his head! Hopefully animals ate his flesh, I feel so bad for the young lady, she did not deserve to be killed by a psycho boyfriend. Hindsight is 20/40, with all the red flags in the relationship, why she stayed is a wonderment. Any time a man makes you cry, put on your rollerskates and get away as quickly as possible, no good would’ve ever come of this relationship.RIP Gabby. And there is a special place reserved for the parents of Brian. Believe me they knew. They should’ve called police the minute he came home without Gabby, driving her van.
Yes, when they went in vacation they would have made up with a plan, explained Brian what to do, and let information behind, so that the police would have evidence, and he dissapeared. We would never know if those were his real bones.
The older man knows nothing about guns. He said it was a .38, a cross between a .38 and a .457. Then says there were two rounds left in the bullet. Good grief. From his ignorant report I can determine the gun was a .357 magnum which can shoot a.38 special round and a .357 magnum round and that two live rounds were left in the cylinder.
"Grisly" was being murdered at the hands of the man she loved. He CHOSE his ending. She didn't.

She didn't have to stay with him, let alone take a trip with him, we may never know all the details!
I have a theory. It's obvious Brian's parents knew what he did to Gabby. Brian knew what waited him in the near future, and he didn't want to live the rest of his life in a prison. I believe the parents knew and respected Brian's decision to commit suicide. That's why it was so important for them to make that one last camping trip before he went to do himself in. They knew where he was going to do it, and when the time was "right," they "found" his remains.
How about that? Does anybody agree with me???
This has been my theory as well for the last few months. That’s more than likely why they took the camping trip together when he got home, one last family outing before things blew up bc they knew they’d never see their son again.
They (his parents) knew the sh*storm that awaited them once enough time had went by.
People wanna throw stones at the Laundrie’s, but if the same thing happened to my child (I have just one),
I don’t know how I’d react because my INSTINCT would be to protect her regardless, ESPECIALLY since she’s an only child🤷🏼♀️ but ofc I would have overwhelming empathy for the victim, so I cannot say what I’d do.
I can try to put myself in both families’ shoes, but it’s so difficult to say how I would respond. This theory is the ONLY thing that makes sense, Christina!!
They had no idea what he did, he likely said it was an accident or she attacked him. No one would ever just be cool with him taking his life that's delusional
@Christina 4yourpets - 🙋🏾♀️ Agreed! That's always been my thought too. His parents knew he wanted to die on his own terms rather than be 'locked away from nature' for the rest of his life.
Absolutely
@@danimotherofchickens479 I don't agree with u... THE FIRST day they searched for their son... they found him?? They knew exactly where to look. They knew
I cannot, just can not understand how a mother (she even knew Gabby, had lived under the same roof!) can let another mother suffer like Brian's mom did Gabby's mom (& dad and stepmom and stepdad). It's so cruel.
It is well established that Roberta Laundrie did not not like Gabby & had been very cruel to her while she stayed there. Now we know Roberta wrote to Brian that she would get a shovel & help him bury Gabby. Super sweet. Mom-type.
Or father
Brian was a narc like his mother
And for any young ladies ,middle-age ladies or even elderly, this goes for men as well, if someone is abusing you that is not love, try your best to get away and stay away, I know it’s hard, the police fudged the stop, blaming her, having said that, she wouldn’t leave him ,she loved him….😥
The police didn't fudge the stop by blaming her, they fudged the stop by not arresting her.
He may have killed her because she was going to leave him. That is the most dangerous time for women in DV relationships.
It's sad people blaming the cops. They did the best they could with a bad situation. They got them apart for a time so they could calm down and not be so heated with each other. They had no idea this guy was going to kill the girl. Brian probably had no idea he was going to do that either so how could they know???
The truth is we can only speculate. His parents probably knew the most about their relationship as a couple since they lived in their home. Was there jealousy on his part or her part? Why were they getting married and going on road trips if their relationship was strained? There is such a thing as emotional manipulation and abuse which can sometimes be even worse than physical because they create an invisible prison like situation where a person feels trapped with a selfish narcissistic abuser. Normal people dont really know the signs to look for. Since I saw this couple its so easy to look at her as the victim and him as the mean murderer. But no one really knows. Did one of them suffer from some sort of mental illness? So many things could have gone wrong. What I think is very important is for parents to be able to build a close relationship with their children so they can feel free to talk about anything and everything without being judged or told what to do. This means even when we strongly disagree with something they tell us, we need to stay quiet and guide them softly. The truth is once our children turn 18 we cant really do much to protect them other than advise and threaten😂 but the main thing I tell young people is to research narcissism and learn the behavioral pattern and if they find someone who has these to run away! Before its too late. What I find strange is do either of them have friends, ex girlfriends or boyfriends who can shine some light on the character of them. Regardless its very sad! Parents stop raising children to become selfish, entitled, and spoiled. This creates future narcissists capable of committing a crime when they dont get their way. Jails are full of them!

The cop stated "I don't have a crystal ball". He wasn't comfortable with his decision but he allowed them to go and crossed his fingers and hoped for the best. If he had followed the letter of the law, Gabby would have been arrested. Instead, he allowed to volatile people to continue an an extended road trip. It didn't take a genius to see it wasn't going to end well.

Well, I as a mother, would have done all I could and said all I could, to get my son to turn himself in if I knew he had committed a crime. Been there and done this twice in my lifetime of 75 years. Once with a brother, once with my son. Both turned themselves in for their crimes....hard lesson for them both, but, to this day both are alive, doing well and have changed their lives around. Brian's parents knew about Gabbys demise but did nothing
His parents have no morals so look what they taught him. My parents would insist I or my siblings do the right thing and turn ourselves in, and nothing less.
I hope you get blamed for what one of your children allegedly did.

Exactly
gabby was always High or Stoned in every photo of her .. climbing around mountains and canyons high as a kite is not a smart thing to do .. she could've fallen easily and caused the damage shown in her autopsy ..
lastly, no the parents Did Not know gabby was deceased .. nor does any of us know if he killed her .. his writings showed he felt guilt, thats all .. but they both were on Drugs so who knows ..
I love how Brian’s family get concerned when he’s missing. But not gabby! She deserved the best.
His parents knew exactly what he did and helped him all the way to avoid being questioned/arrested. . They should be arrested
in the case and charged for helping him leave or interfering/harboring, as he should be in prison for killing her. His parents must be idiots. They knew what he had done to her.
Arrested on what charge? Because of the Moab Police Report he probably could have claimed to be a battered male who was abused to the point of insanity.
Yes, they knew every detail of what happened, he called MOMMY right after he did it, that's why they lawyered up before he got home in Gabby's Van, backed it in the garage and cleaned it out asap! Then went on with their lives, until Red, white and, pathoon had that video that showed where they were, that's when they found her remains! Thank God for those people!
@sr2291 arrested and charged with aiding a wanted felon is a crime… so . That?
@@jeremyb7659 From mosesandrooth law firm:
FLORIDA RELATED PERSON EXEMPTION
Under Florida law, a spouse, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother or sister, or a person otherwise related by blood or marriage to the principal actor cannot be charged with aiding and abetting under most circumstances. However, extended family members could face charges, including aunts, uncles, or cousins.
What is the rationale behind the related person or family exemption? The reasoning is that it is unrealistic to expect family members to turn in their spouse, child, parent, etc. The duty to one’s family will often outweigh any responsibility a person might feel toward their moral or legal obligations. As a result of these public policy concerns, the Florida legislature has carved out this exemption to aiding and abetting.
Exception To The Exemption
There is an important caveat to the exemption. If the crime involves child neglect, child abuse, or results in the death of a child, the related person exemption does not apply. Any family member, regardless of whether they are immediate or not, can be charged.
No, not idiots, narcissists, just like he was. Narcissists have little to no empathy for others, by definition.
I have no pity or sadness for Brian’s death, he took an innocent life and bullied and abused her before killing her needlessly and then he took the cowards way out but he still said goodbye to his parents when he didn’t allow Gabby to see hers! His parents are as guilty as him by covering for him when he came home and giving Gabbys parents no contact to help them understand on any level where Gabby was even though Brian was home with them with HER van! His parents must have seen how he treated and spoke to Gabby when they were living there, they allowed their son to become this monster and then covered for him knowingly afterwards!! This is a horrific case but Gabby is the victim so let’s not show remorse or sadness for her coward murderer!
I agree. He'd probably show this behavior in even subtle ways when young. Narcissist behavior, put downs toward girls. Her parents are like many parents. They were fooled by him. He'd spent his life fooling probably his parents, too.

@@user-ee6jm3wu4q snarky much? This is a forum/community which shares opinions.
Something has been said brian's mom wanted a bother girl for her son.
they should be charged for withholding evidence, they knew she was dead, may they get what they deserve and may we hear about it, he stole her van , he murdered her, stole money from her account when he had money in his account, , WHAT THA? the gates to hell are not open to him, i watched this all play out, from moab, she signed her death warrant when she appoligized for his bad bad behaviour at moab, i knew he was going to kill her, before Rose her friend came up, he hated her, i have had mental health experience, problem was i was in australia and couldnt do anything, helpless
I understand Brian's parents wanting to protect their son, but had they turned him in, he'd at least still be alive. Also, the Laundries were so cold hearted to Gabby's parents as they were wanting any info at all about their missing daughter, back when Brian returned with Gabby's white truck.
Bullsh#t. Nobody INCLUDING parents should COVER for a murderer. "Protect" means getting him an attorney NOT letting him escape from LE. They should have DEMANDED Brian tell them everything he knew the minute he walked in the door from the trip OR they were handing him directly to LE. So Gabbys blood is on their hands and so is Brians BECAUSE they LET him run away. Those POS parents are partially responsible for BRIANS death and should rot in hell once they die..

I feel badly for the people who originally called the police from the highway sensing something was wrong. They followed their gut which is also what the police should’ve done
They didn’t use their “gut.” They were simply not very informed about domestic violence.
Newscaster: “… a cross between a .38 caliber and a 457…”. There is no such thing as a “457”. This is the trouble with modern news reporting. There is no interest in being even remotely accurate when providing details about firearms, which results is the spread of disinformation, inaccuracies and confusion. Perhaps what confused this reporter is perhaps the revolver was a .357 magnum and its ammunition was .38 special caliber - all .357 revolvers can chamber (the round of ammunition, bullet with casing, will fit and fire) any .38 special ammunition. The chamber and barrel dimensions will accommodate both .357 mag ammo and the slightly shorter and less powerful (also usually less expensive) .38 special ammo. I am guessing this is what this guy meant and is confused about.
The parents are as evil as the son. They tortured Gabby's family by intentionally withholding and hiding information.

thanks everyone
This was one of the saddest tales I ever heard. Very sad. 💔
The police was searching that place for days. And found nothing. Then the mom and dad just walked down there and found the remains, back pack, paperwork, ect just laying out in the open. The parents should be charged.
Agreed. And now the Petito/Schmidt families have filed a civil lawsuit against the Laundries.. Good for them. I was afraid they would be too "nice" to pursue a civil case and I am glad to see them do this.
Common sense would say search near where the car was parked and where Brian's favorite place was( parents knew), but it was claimed the area was flooded, so they go waste time pretending to search because of all the Silence and Screwups by police. Now, if you went looking for your child assumed dead and go straight to his favorite spot, find a bag,; are you gonna walk right out with bag? Or start yelling and keep looking? I will always believe IF The Remains were Brian(?), He didn't kill himself( with his left hand), something terrible happen, Brian was shot , body was took to the Reserve and placed, ( and probably soaked with something so animals would get to the body faster.). Brian's parents house need to be investigated to see if there is blood splatter. Brian left his phone and wallet on his bed.( First claimed by his parents to the police). If that was true, THEY counted on Brian doing himself in, so wait awhile before reporting him missing. Most likely parents had made arrangements for Brian go live in another country or Island. He kept coming back home. What was there for Brian to be worried about? Police Never talked to him..
No he definitely killed himself. He knew he wasn't going to get away with any of this.
Unwatchable disgusting Vultures feasting on our dead families! Get lost!
That is not what this report said at all. They said Search Teams and in no way would they allow his parents to search for him at the same time. And you are assuming all along that his remains were out in the open. Did you not understand that a bear or alligator found the body and dragged it out of the brush and ate his flesh in another place. This is often the case if two or more animals were after his body. The reporters here are misconstruing or misunderstanding the report. He shot himself out in the bushes and then some animal drug his body and this is why some parts of his effects were found 250 feet away. His parents may not have even known what he was planning. About 40-% of all of this is speculation about what is not in the report. You dont know what is not in the report and so if it isnt there you cannot decide why did he not have a cell phone, who knows maybe he did and the animal ate it by accident or he was drug right, maybe it fell out of his pocket. There is more to come maybe we should all wait until they release a final report and stop all the vilification of his family until we know for sure.
I'm sorry but my gut is strongly telling me that Brian's parents knows a lot more than they're willing to tell. I felt this from day one. I think his whole family planed this out and said their goodbyes on those two days that they were filmed going into that park.
I wouldn't be surprised if the parents were the ones who pulled the trigger. Him not wanting to spend his life in prison and them not wanting to go through all that visitations lawyers and seeing their child die in prison I wouldn't be surprised at all. It all been fishy since the beginning
I bet he is hidden somewhere in another city ... staying all good.
I think this was his parents idea to kill himself, they wanted to make sure he 'atoned' and went out like a 'matyr' 😒🙄
totally agree 100%
They need to go to jail they were involved after the fact they are a disgrace they raised him like an animal i hope he rotting in hell
I think Brian's parents were so angry at their son for killing Gabby that they shot him and disposed of his body. That could help explain why being right handed he was shot in the left side of his head. And that also could explain why they were there when they found him. They knew where he was.
Doesn’t seem logical as then why would they ignore the girls parents and mislead them if they were angry about what Brian did? He took off and killed himself! Parents were familiar with area he would go in that park so took long time to find his bones!
That has been my first guess
Shirley, now the evidence shows he was shot in left side of side, and he was right handed it does raise suspicion.
This is sad for both parents.Both their children are gone ,both a horrible way.I pray that they can find healing.

@@twocents288 you're absolutely right💯👍🏼
@JB & Walt thank u 4 continuing 2 give us information on this case !
I must add (as someone who has worked in this field as a lawyer and victims advocate for many years) that abuse, domestic or otherwise, does NOT require physical violence in law. It shocks me how many people still believe that 'not laying a hand on her/him' means there was no abuse. The law includes mental, emotional and other non-physical, forms of abuse. This doesn't just apply i relationships either. It protects employees, children, all of us. Harassment, verbal abuse and bullying, name calling etc all CAUSE real medically defined harm. Just because there is no bruise does not mean there is no abuse. If you are living or working in an environment where you flinch when you hear a door open or close, feel sick in your deepest gut all the time, over-excuse abusive behavior because someone is under stress or having a hard time at work and much more, then you are in a toxic and most likely abusive situation. Abusers are actually NOT monsters anymore than serial killers are. They look just like the rest of us, they work and live just like the rest of us. They can be smart and funny and sometimes loving. I always taught my kids about 'the math'. If someone is loving and kind 5% of the time, the math isn't working out and it is not worth the damage to your emotional and mental well-being to have them in your life. It is scary to let someone go but there is a lot of support out there if you need it as well. Non-judging support whatever you choose to do (leave or stay). You deserve support. Have it!
What you said is totally true! I married a verbal abuser because my mother was even though every one considered her the salt of the earth. I wasn't "perfect" enough her even though she admired me in many ways. I have some thing on my wall that says "never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary"
oscar wilde
The abuse cycle is circular & keeps closing in on the other person.
I have zero sympathy for the Laundries. Had they helped the Petito family straight away I would feel very sorry for them as well, but what they did is let Gabby's family suffer for so long. They did not answer msgs when Gabby's mom was worried for both of them, thinking they are both missing, she did not know that Brian was home already for a week at that stage. The Laundries are some cold hearted people. I don't care at all how the coward Brian died.

Latest information is that there was blunt force trauma to Gabbys head and neck prior to strangling. So it appears to be a sustained brutal attack.
@@Solitude11-11 and ppl will still say he made a mistake strangling her after he accidentally hit her on the head 🤦🏻♀️
He didn’t JUST strangle her. She had blunt force trauma to her head as well. Look at the new information released. He hit her repeatedly, that didn’t work, so he strangled her. He could have stopped multiple times. He didn’t. He’s a monster.
I don’t know who’s saying that about this case, but there is that case of that piece of crap in New Zealand “accidentally” killing his date by strangulation during intimate time after a date.

I don’t believe that story about her being injured and just wanting to be out of pain, what crap. I know what it’s like to be at the mercy of a narcissistic psychopath.
it still makes no sense to me how police can search for him for WEEKS, and find nothing.. then suddenly his parents go out and almost immediately find him. something is fishy.
Yup…cover up. They needed to come up with something because the media was putting pressure on them and it was going to come down on them. Brian might still be alive. Too fishy..my opinion. No one has to agree with me..just my thoughts.
Because his parent's finally came clean. They knew where he was, and they knew he was dead.
Makes sense if maybe dad tried tying loose ends himself.
EXACTLY RIGHT. IT'S A HUGE COVER UP. Since his family member was his dentist and how his family was involved in planning to get him out of the country and helped him cover up everything since before he left her dead body and came home. I'm sure they emptied her belongings from that storage with all of her belongings as well to cover his butt with him. I believe his parents put that all out there themselves!!! NO I do not believe it's really him what so ever.
Ha His parents mention he didn't see a dr and was always healthy so all they had to come up with was his dental records from family.
This happened because his parents allowed him to express his anger and frustration in a violent manner. Young Gabby would be talked down repeatedly by his parents(stopped her from going to authorities or family). When they were on the road no-one was there to control Brian's violent outbursts and they (his outbursts) became progressively worse. I am beyond sure this treatment of Gabby existed within the Laundrie home. Brian's behavior didn't start on the road, it ended on the road. I believe the parents are complicit and responsible in Gabby's death. R.I.P. Sweet girl.
You bet they are! At least make Brian tell them where their murderous SON...left her body.

Thank you so much for your respectful analysis of this case. Your approach to this investigation as been very sensitive and not the usual response of the big media giants. Thank you so much once again of how you have reported this very sad tragedy, like you said, two young people, who I presumed at one time loved each other so much, have had their lives taken away prematurely, only them and God alone knows all the circumstances of the case. My heart goes out to all the families and friends who have been deeply affected by it all, their lives too will never be the same again.
They have made Brian look like a victim as much a Gabby was. That is an injustice in itself. I am so sick of the media showing Gabby with her murderer smiling and hugging. I am offended when they keep referring to Brian as Gabby’s Fiancé… their engagement ended and was voided when HE MURDERED HER. I HATE how Brian’s parents have been deferred to and coddled throughout this whole ordeal. They knew that their son was a sick sadistic person but they covered for him and allowed him to move his girlfriend in with him. I want to know what was in the notebook. We don’t HAVE to recognize “privacy rights” of dead murderers. I want to know if Brian has ever been diagnosed with having a mental illness? I want to know why they allowed him to obtain a gun when he is clearly disturbed? These people have been allowed to cover for their son all of his life and now they are covering for themselves as well. Gabby DESERVED BETTER! All VICTIMS OF DV DESERVE BETTER!
Deborah, Yes!! This!!
Very true
The news media wouldn’t have covered this in this manner had he been black but would have most likely demonized him down to his shoes 👞.
Well hello there was a lot of witnesses both male and female that saw gabby as the aggressor. Are u saying its ok for girls to hit boys? I hope not
He was treated like a victim when the cops stopped them both as well. Leave it to the leftist propaganda pushing media to make a cold blooded killer look like a poor victim. They'll probably have a statue of Laundrie in a town near you very soon.
The pics you posted of Brian and references him as a "young man" making a bad choice is really giving him too much sympathy and compassion. Trying to reason why this " young man" went off the rail and murdered his loved one is crediting him more than a narcissistic cold blooded killer. A male yes but not a man
To "WIN." Very simple. Objective of all abuse.
Oh, that was a great reply! He's not worthy to be called a man by any means, nor his parents either!
How could you kill someone you loved at some point instead of simply leaving them alone? I can't imagine having the energy to do something so terrible knowing it could have been avoided. Taking her life meant he was taking his so no matter how it ended, it's just sad... especially as a mother of 2 boys
Happens all the time
My thoughts exactly. Seems so idiotic to commit murder and then attempting to get away with it.
Literally easiest route is to walk away.
I think he didnt REALLY love her…..and they both seemed very insecure to me….and in the end he just chocked the life out of her….creepy and sad
Because it's all about them and not about anyone else's feelings
But it happens all the time. Brian was a narcissist. He never loved her, he is incapable of actual love. His self esteem is what matters, and he would kill to protect it, yes. He needed to continue demeaning her, emotionally and physically, bc she was inferior in his mind, he had to do this in order to feed his narcissism. He was angry that she was becoming successful on Instagram, he couldn't take it. There were probably other things as well.
By the way, it is known that the act of choking a woman, in terms of domestic abuse, if choking or attempts to strangle happen, the woman has a very high statistical probability of being KILLED within a year of the first episode of being choked. Not other kinds of abuse, but hands on a woman's throat, specifically, has this reliable probability. Brian had done it.
For all the parent haters. I would not aide my son if he committed a crime like this. And I would not assist the police in an investigation. This dude was a grown man. He made his own decisions. Leave those people alone
So pay attention ladies and girls. The guy was no bad looking. He was nice part of the time, when it served him. He obviously played the "I'm sorry" game or she would have dumped him way back. He most likely demeaned and devalued her also, told her everything that was wrong with her and diminished her self esteem.
Don't stay with a guy like that. First time they run you down or slap you let them know you are done with them, then be done. There are guys out there that are not verbally and physically abusive. They probably are not going to put up with you playing games with them, but they are not going to hit you or scream names and insults at you. A real man will simply walk away and be done with you.
Real relationships are built on mutual respect, not "one upping" each other. Real breakups don't end in death either. Adults get out of it and MOVE ON.
When you are gonna break up with an abusive guy like that, you don't tell him ahead of time. Leave the situation, get out when he is not present or is somewhere else, then make it clear when he tries to contact you.
@@deeandrews7051
If they have hit you or threatened you and you are living together, absolutely do not tell them ahead of time. I agree. At the same time there is a point when you do have to be clear that you are not and will not be with them, to be clear that you are saying "NO". Don't let there be any confusion. Also do not go back for any "one last time" games. Be gone, stay gone. MOVE ON.
Yeah. You can see it in moments when they were pulled over. He called her crazy jokingly. Talked about her ‘little blog’. The whole altercation was her fault because she’s OCD? And he locks her out of the van and tells her to calm down frequently?
@@pnwlady
Wow. I didn't watch that whole video. I was so disturbed by the fact that the cops had zero recognition of his part in that, I couldn't. I would have been angry at an unhealthy level. I just went through that about those cops that beat that old lady with dementia in Loveland Co. I am still angry about it. It will never leave me. I just can't unsee that. I cared for my own mother with dementia until she passed, and I admit I would have hunted and killed any man that ever hurt her like that, cop or not. I cried for days after watching that video.
Sadly, many women simply choose not to see the signs and remain brainwashed and even in fear of losing jerks like this. Thankfully, I don't understand this mentality, but so many others fall victim to abusive men.
I may not have answered the “Social” question, but if my son came home without his girlfriend and there was no other explanation than foul play, I would have marched my son to the police station and told the exact truth at that moment. I wouldn’t have hidden snd protected him while the missing girl’s family pleaded for information. Brian’s parents raised and protected a coward
yep
Father is an abuser, I wouldn't doubt he shot him.
@@jaysilverheals4445 he came back to Florida once, and he never came back to Florida with Gabby’s car and no Gabby. Also, if it was just business as usual, then why did Brian’s parents immediately hire a lawyer, refer Gabby’s parents to said lawyer, and blocked all of Gabby’s families phone numbers from their own phones and all social media?
@@helenstockman3499
I read that they blocked the Petito's and refused to talk to them because Daddy Petito was leaving threatening messages. People really assume the worse about the Laundries. I completely understand why they remained silent.
No you wouldn't. And I can tell you why. If your son said anything suspicious you could have been charged along with Brian for her homicide.
Good grief. We could have read the 47 page autopsy in its entirety faster than listening to this report.
The parents when they “found” him was strange. As a mother you would be hysterical regardless of what he did. She walked away as if she was irritated. The dad seemed sad but they knew what he was going to do. He decomposed so fast to be skeletal that quick.
You have to remember they were being watched and monitored and filmed for their every emotion and move and reported on. They were told by their lawyer to lay low and not speak or show emotions.
Could they have "dug up' a male relative and then plant him in the reserve, thereby getting the dna to match?
@@dulcieparker7425
Lol!!😂😂😂
It’s not him. He’s in Mexico
If he's in a swamp, no it's not. See body farm stuff or Ask a Mortician..
Brian's family is repugnant. They had so much awareness of what was happening and they did nothing. They are just as complicit in the crime as he is as far as I'm concerned. I believe they were aware he was abusive towards Gabby and again...chose to remain oblivious. They make me sick and I hope they get no peace for the rest of their lives.
You are irrelevant and so are your theories. You have no clue what happened and clearly ignoring the evidence that paints Gabby as an abuser.
AGREED
She chose to stay with him. She knew he was toxic. Sad story. Very sad. He needed help.
Agreed!!👍❤
@@christicrenshaw2772 She was toxic and controlling.
Nothing happened that pushed him out of the edge i can't believe you're trying to excuse him. Abuse gets worse and worse. It usually starts with a push, a slap, a beating, and then choking. It really doesn't matter why because there's no why.
Abusers Simply feel like hitting, slapping, chocking , killing, and do because they want to and can and do. Evil.
Gabby shouldn`t have done such horrible things to him then.
@@baneverything5580 You mean like breathing?
the numbers don't lie. Statistically stalkers and abusive mates kill their partner in The Break-Up stage. I'm certain that's what happened here. Gaby was done, and Brian couldn't handle it and killed her in a fit of rage. People with NPD cannot handle being abandoned or rejected. Brian was probably a classic narcissist.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 @Baneverything be Trolling.
I can’t believe these journalists are asking “why?” As if Gabby did something to trigger her assailant. Brian Laundry obviously had a history of abusive behavior and that’s why his parents don’t want his social history coming out
Brian left his cell phone in his car. His parents took his cell phone after they drove his car home. His parents also found him with the gunshot wound right before driving his car home. They never imagined it would take the authorities so long to find his body.
What I would like to see is Laundrie's parents charged with obstruction or other charges, if warranted. As is said below...they were cold and heartless to Gabby's parents about her whereabouts and apparently based on limited info released publicly...were never cooperative with police looking for Gabby's body. It is also a strange coincidence that Brian's parents "led" investigators to their son's remains. They did not appear to cooperate when their son returned home WITHOUT Gabby...but they knew where to find his body.
As a parent of three adult sons...there is NO WAY I would act like Laundrie's parents EVER. I would do everything I could to find out what happened to any of my sons' partners or even a "missing date" and if he did something horrible...to take responsibility for his actions...period. If his parents attempted to find out from their son what he did to Gabby...we haven't heard about it. Murder means to do whatever is necessary for justice and possibly closure...even if it breaks a parent's heart.
The Laundries need to be held accountable in some way for their lack of cooperation in...A MURDER. The pain and horror Gabby's parents must feel is impossible to understand. I have never lost a child...so I can only imagine their panic, heartbreak and misery.
@@kar-el7414 That was a very rational response you gave 👏 I agree with you.

@@kar-el7414 Please - there are actually those that would do the right thing regardless of how hard it might be. Don't sell everybody in society down the river.
Gabby was failed by everyone. She was failed by her boyfriend, the police, Brians parents who chose to cover up her disappearance like nothing was wrong… in my opinion Brians parents stood in the way of justice. They knew their son did something awful when he came home without Gabby, and in her van. They knew when he became a person of interest that he was going to run. They gave him a head start and didn’t notify police until days later. They should be held accountable as accomplices to a murderer
His parents show exactly why Brian is as terrible as he is. They're almost as bad as he is and almost worse in some ways.
Completely agree.
Or at least accomplices after the act was committed.
he was a grown man .His parents only knew what he told them ,you can only blame him .that's why His parents aren't in any trouble . know one has a crystal ball ,there is know one else to blame.
Gabby was a violent abuser and instead of arresting her, she was allowed to leave the state with her victim. The COPS failed them BOTH.
The end.
I believe Brian’s parents felt they “owed” him the “opportunity” of suicide because they recognized he was in all ways a product of their of their own deficiencies ... they created who he had become ... and so far Brian’s parents are the only ones who have not paid a price in this tragic nightmare they have caused & then made even worse by their victimizing Gabby’s family
How in the world can 2 Journalist not understand what a hand written 1/2 note means? It could have been an incomplete sentence, ended with a word such as "then" could have been a sentence with a coma, & the 1st letter(s) of a word, how is this so hard?!
“Now let’s talk about what’s in the notebook”
*repeats nothing about what’s written.
lol who else heard that 10+ times before they actually talk about it!
Drives me nuts!! The dude on the left repeats himself a hundred times yet adds nothing new. Yet talks about the work he did to get this info. Useless and irratating!!
Just to put a perspective on on brian laundrie's parents. I was in a abusive relationship. a very abusive relationship, and I was living with his parents and sister. They turned a blind eye to any and all abuse they witnessed and/or heard. They blamed me. Cause in their eyes their son couldn't possibly be the monster he was, it was me who was causing him to be this way. He threw his mother outside of a window, and the father did nothing but cover it up like they always did with me. If i had to go to the hospital they gave me the story to tell. I was 18 yrs old. He tried to kill me more than once, and if he had, they would have covered for him. After I finally left him for good he found me and my son. As his sister held my 3 yr old son in her arms, she watched as he used my car door to beat the living crap out of me to where I was unrecognizable. So I do not find it hard to believe that his parents have acted the way that they have. It just shows you just how dysfunctional this family was. which unfortunately was taught to him, and Gabby being so young, didn't know that the relationship she was in was unfixable. Side note: This man did spend 4 years in prison for the crimes he committed to me and my son.
Similar experience. I'm so glad you got out.
Only 4 years!! That is so wrong!!! Should have been much more!!!
@Kristine - Thank you for sharing that. I’m so very glad you are ok now & you were able to get out with your life…it sounds like you could have been k*lled by your abuser.😔
And I completely agree with you; it’s not surprising at all that Laundrie’s family covered for him. I don’t think they will ever come clean with all they know, & I’m sure any attorney they’ve engaged will tell them to keep their mouths shut or they’ll be charged with a crime. The Laundries do not care about Gabby or her family & they don’t care about doing what’s “right”.
*Stay safe Kristine & my prayers for you & your son to have a wonderful life* 🙏
what the hell hes a monster
I’m so sorry you had to experience any of this. It’s just so sad.
Be careful, The Devil can hear your prayers too. He doesn’t come with a pitchfork. He comes dressed as everything you think you ever wanted!!!
There must be accountability for lying parents, they are responsible with their negligence and cowardice for what Brian has turned into as adult.
My SWAG- Brian had just made an ass of himself at the restaurant.. I believe that Gabby probably apologized for his actions to the staff and that set him off. This guy had anger issues.
ONCE AGAIN DONT WASTE YOUR TIME THEY ARE JUST GUESSING!!!NOTHING IS SAID OR CONFIRMED JUST 2 REPORTERS TALKING BACK AND FORTH
Yea,and for over an hour all they did was repeat the same stuff over and over again which was the same stuff that was already on the news,boring!!!
Even before I watched, I guessed as much when I saw JB Biunno's name and picture. As I watched the story unfold, Biunno was the source of speculation, rather than fact, in almost all of the reporting I saw. Thankfully, I don't live in the WFLA area, and I am able to news reports instead of speculation.
I am glad I did not watch beyond a few minutes. Thank you!!
1000% agree with you. Again, i will restate the most important reason, this was a medical examiners report by the state of Florida. This was not a FBI report, so any of the notions by the reporters that the Laundrie family was actually in the search party who found the remains is ludicrous, and its not what the report said nor even intimated.
Saddest story ever. And the bottom line is Brian knew he was a monster, and ultimately removed himself because of his crimes. His parents knew and were able to say goodbye. An act Gabby's parents weren't afforded.
Nah, natural selection. 2 idiots.
They able to say goodbye??? Seriously? Get a life and stop making up stories.
@@Thatsswell-hr9ev Yeah.. they were able to. They took a final camping trip with the whole family. They got to spend last moments with their son. Gabby's parents didn't get to spend last moments with their daughter. Whether or not Brian's family really knew what was going on, they knew shit was about to hit the fan simply because she was missing and Brian would be the prime suspect. So you can't tell me they didn't take that camping trip with the intention of it being the last moments they would have with their son, either alive or as a free person. Their son comes home from a cross-country trip in a van that was also doubled as their "home" for the time on the road and belonged to Gabby, not even him.. then you learn she is missing, but instead of trying to help locate her, at the very least answer the pleas of Gabby's parents, they decided to ignore it and take at least one camping trip. So while it may not be illegal to do these things, it is still wrong. I would think most people agree on that.
Roberta originally made reservations on August 24th for 2 people at a camping spot reserved at the Fort De Soto campground for 1st - 3rd of September. She cancelled those plans on August 31st and rescheduled the trip for 6th - 8th of September for 3 people. Cassie (the sister) came to visit Brian at the campsite on September 6th (first day of the trip) between 2:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. according to the Laundries family attorney, Bertolino. Note that is was mentioned Chris and Roberta left the camping trip a day early (September 7th), while Brian stayed behind. However, their attorney claims they all left together. I'm not sure if the parents leaving a day early has been confirmed to be accurate.
There was also possibly a second camping trip with Brian, Chris and Roberta from around the 10th-13th of September, according to neighbors who witnessed them packing up the camper, attaching it to their truck and leaving. I'm not sure if that was ever confirmed though either. I will double check and edit to add later.

Anyone who can't see both these losers were toxic is simply being manipulated by biased journalism.
Parents said when he first went missing that he left his phone at home when he left that day so that’s why there was nothing in the report about a phone
More than likely it was a .357 magnum.
A handgun capable of firing the .357 Magnum can fire .38 Special, but not all firearms that shoot the .38 Special can fire the .357 Magnum.
So he probably had a .357 and both types of ammo. 🤷🏻♀️
Come on Walt! Did you actually hear what you said!? 😂 (But hey it’s nice seeing you on the news again! I didn’t realize you went down to Florida! That was definitely a good move! 👍🏼🌴☀️)
My theory is… Gabby was done. When you’re in that cycle of abuse, at some point you finally crack and check out. I think he saw that he had lost full control of her and it made him murderously mad. I’d say it happened after the police incident, she was changed by having witnesses to her situation and truly hoped for significant change to come from it. When that didn’t happen, she visibly fell out of love. So he killed her.
Working with inmates for past 9 years I can tell you that many of these crimes are simply crimes of passion. Someone has poor coping skills mixed with a trigger that sets them off. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I should have just walked away".
You are absolutely right- I saw it in a vision, that’s why he killed her- he saw a look in her eyes and he knew

@@kellbell8198 Whether or not the Laundries are guilty of obstruction of justice depends on how much they knew and when.

Definition: Aiding and abetting is a legal doctrine related to the guilt of someone who aids or abets another person in the commission of a crime. It exists in a number of different countries and generally allows a court to pronounce someone guilty for aiding and abetting in a crime even if they are not the principal offender.
And how did they find his location before police...hmmmm???
Any good parents would tell their children to face the music. I did and didn't deserve it.
They apparently don't have a conscience. Just watching the way everything transpired shows they definitely don't have one for Gabby and her family 😪
Almost seems like his parents may not of had any care for their son either.
When I got in trouble for self defense, my ex got custody of our 2 children he didn't even want. But to get even with me, he ran away with them to Hawaii. Paid child support for 2 children I couldn't be apart of. Can't say that about him when I was raising them alone. But my oldest son ran away from him and came home an angry man 😭😭😭
It got so bad that I had to kick him out in order to protect my 12 year old and myself. He was cruel to his girlfriend. It's very heartbreaking. But you try to do what's right.
Sounds to me like some selfish ass parents trying to protect their own reputation.
And it's my opinion from personal experience. Where's your opinion coming from???
Can’t shake the feeling that Brian’s parents “found” him the day they removed the car from the parking lot. They then reported him missing and told the police where the car was and where Brian would “likely” be. Then they waited and waited and waited. When the cops ended the search they proceeded to “find” Brian for them.
To those who have commented about the parents…I’m really on the fence with this. By the time they knew anything Gabby was already dead. Any attorney will advice you to keep your mouth shut. Even Gabby’s family didn’t note anything particularly off about Brian. Of course Brian’s parents would have known he’s a spoiled controlling hot head but murderer? Where it gets particularly murky is when they do not respond to Gabby’s parents. Again you have to make a decision based on legal counsel cause its not like we have experience. There was no saving Gabby at this point. I particularly recall their attorney saying something to the affect of he was happy to hear they were searching for Gabby in a particular section of the Tetons. This was BEFORE they found her and it struck me as odd that he mentioned a particular area. At that time there was discussion of them having moved on from there based on the “no service” text sent from Gabby’s phone. She ended up being found in the Tetons. The parents turned over the van. The house was searched. They reported him missing and told the police where to find hm. Imagine your world completely exploding when your son confesses to you that he killed his girlfriend. They called an attorney. Probably assumed the next step was walking Brian in to the local police. That’s NOT how it works. I just cant imagine having to walk in their shoes.
🤣
Yes. His dad knew then (when picking up the car which was before it rained) and wanted the police to find him themselves, then it flooded which was not planned. That's why the father walked right up to where he was after the water cleared up and pointed out where he was to the police after the park opened back up. The gun being rusted is it was under water and he already committed suicide before it flooded and his dad knew that. His dad wanted the police to find him, so they would not be implicated in any way and played stupid.
@@luvpamelanewton wouldn't doubt if Parents didn't shoot Brian and plant car and Brian. They say Brian was right handed, but shot with left hand, but no big deal. Earlier reports say Brian left his phone and billfold on his bed when he left.?

The parents wouldn’t reply to a desperate text message, pick up the phone, or say one single word to Gabby’s parents or LE until they knew Brian had ended his life and then all of a sudden they wanted to be helpful and look for Brian. Low and behold they found his belongings. Everything they did or didn’t do were all for selfish reasons.
Read the comment during the advertisements and got all I needed.
The parents and family must have known he murdered her, they ALL met and camped when he returned! His parents helped him get away and knew he was going to kill himself AND knew the violence he had previously shown Abby that lived with them! THEY should be held as accessories to the crime and the neighbors should shun them as subhuman people😡
I blame the parents! They’re sitting there covering for him and “found” him when it was said and done! Literally they’re the example of why their son was a monster, and he was. Let’s not sugar coat this, he abused and killed the person he was suppose to love most in this world! And instead of the parents trying to do the right thing, they covered for him! Well when you have parents like that, how do you expect their son to grow up not taking life’s responsibility and consequences seriously! And as parents literally keep all that from her family and keeping quiet, that’s just agony! Just wrong!!
I can't understand how the shot gun could have been found in the bag with other things if Brian had really shot himself. I for one do not deep in my heart believe that Brian is dead.
So he commits suicide and his weapon of choice ends up in a bag. If he did indeed kill himself, the weapon should have been close to his body. Kinda sounds like a cover-up!!
@@sharonprice6939 the weapon was put in dry bag by police.
Has anyone explained why the body was so decomposed? Did animals go after it? I have not seen anything. I here investigations are tainted just to solve a case. Did they really match dental records? Where is the proof?
They weren't covering...she was already dead and he killed himself....we don't actually know that he killed her or if so, why and how. All we know is she is dead and He is dead. And a partial note was found. We don't even know what it said. He could have easily just killed himself out of agony. She could have been strangled by someone else and he came back and found her. So much is unknown.
Notebook should be available to everyone because of crime. No privacy for criminals and murders.
Very sad. So many unanswered questions. Its not fair that he got away with this horendous crime. My prayers for Gabby and her family.
if his family assisted him in anyway, i hope those facts surface during the trials in 2023 to bring peace to the Gabby's.
It's no big secret why Brian Laundrie killed Gabby - she was going to leave him (and probably tell her parents he was abusive). She wasn't happy with him, as she told the policeman who pulled them over - she stated to him, "He (meaning Brian) doesn't believe in my dreams," meaning her dreams of being a travel writer. Killing a girlfriend or wife because they are going to leave you is an age-old story. There is no mystery in this story!
I believe this also. In Moab the female officer told Gabby to think about her being in a toxic relationship. I forget the exact words. Eventually Brian went home to the storage unit. She was alone and serene while he was gone. When he returned the stress started again and she tried to break it off with him. And he killed her. I have always thought this. RIP Gabby. 💔
That crazy bish wasn't leaving him, he was leaving her and she flew into another violent rage. You can tell he was worn out, tired and over her high maintenance and hysterics.
Or she use to hit him ,and he flipped out. Didnt he have marks on him when the officers stopped them?
@@emersonmanning6523 Exactly. This is the relationship that Johnny Depp wants to avoid - when the verbal fighting turns physical. Brian was probably trying to leave again and she went beserk on him and he lost it.
@@sr2291
Exactly! The Mary Piglets incident was probably the last straw for him and he told her such. She attacked him in Utah because he wanted some space, she would completely lose her mind if he wanted to call it quits and go home. The travel blog was her dream, not his, and she wasn't going to admit defeat and go home.
He didn’t really have friends. I watched the video. Roberta stayed in the open area while waiting for her husband to look. He went in one side of trail and came out right away. He went across and came right out with the white bag. He knew exactly where to look! Brian was not a victim! They allowed Gabby’s family to go through hell for a long time. They did not have the decency to even talk to her parents. If they supposedly did not know anything, they could have told them at least that!
It’s a shame she couldn’t have gotten away from him when the cops were there.
Mark my words Brian started bad behavior as a young boy, maybe killing small animals and progressed to Abby. We will never know what all he has done unless his parents confess to covering up his BAD BEHAVIOR!! The Laundries need to be charged and be sued for everything they have by Abby’s family. NO it’s not about the money it’s about making them suffer for their part in covering up. I believe they could have stopped this if they would have spoken up before Abby went off on a trip with Brian. THINK there are many other parents out there that aren’t facing the fact that their child is mentally ill and after a killing they say OH he was a sweet boy - they are telling LIES LIES LIES. These parents are just a guilty or more so!! Our laws need to change and put parents in jail that assist their child. I am so angry over this happening!!!!
I’m sure Gabby’s family found out what was in that notebook. I don’t see why authorities would not tell them. It’s not like Brian is gonna face charges now.
The book should be given to gabbys family let them have some closer brians family had closer they knew what their son was going to do and what he did to gabby so the book should go to gabbys family i did not think that they had enough skeleton to believe it was brian Gabby praying for you and your family the right thing was to turn their son in if it is brian he was a coward GOD help you AMEN
@@dianeiaquinto2474 All they need to know is what was in the notebook. The notebook itself was Brians property so his parents should get it. And the autopsy shows that almost all of his bones were found so there’s no denying the DNA evidence that that was him. He’s gone. He was a coward and took the easy way out instead of going to prison. Both families have to live with this the rest of their lives.
They just said that, the parents know what was said. Either dad read it right then and there, or the cops told them, but as shiesty as the parents are, they asked LE to say they didn't know, so they would not be hounded by reporters again.
I think the notebook could still be evidence in Gabby's case. So the notebook should remain evidence and NOT given back. He could have written all kinds of stuff in it that would pertain to Gabby's murder.
@@FreeBird-ui8py It is evidence but they don’t need it anymore. They are closing the case. It’s been recorded and in their report.
No one wins in this case. Everyone loses. It’s so sad. Prayers to both families.
Very tragic
Helena I agree
So well spoken
not his family
why did no one win, he got to choose when and how his life ended, he should have been a man and faced everyone, he was a coward, an abuser, a piece of human feces. she suffered the horror of being murdered, its extremely suspicious how his family just walked the and found him
@@listychick right ,no one person got a right take another's life
I live on the space coast…imagine my surprise when I realized that one of my favorite investigative reporters from Providence, RI is now working here in FL. Hi Walt 👋👋👋
The parents have nothing to gain by telling their story about their son. It would just open them up to criticism.
I still think his parents hold a lot of answers. Id love to see their interviews.
They'd just lie
Whatever they hold would be a lie, Brian would have never told his parents the truth. It would have been some lie like she attacked him or self defense. So no I don't think the world needs to hear Brains lies about Gabby trying to make her look bad, he's a coward he'd have never said what he did
@@danimotherofchickens479 considering she has attacked him it could be true, fact is she should have went to jail. Always feeling sorry because she's female when clearly she was crazy and abusive.
@@danimotherofchickens479 I agree! And if they knew anything of pertinent value...they certainly wouldn't share! They've proven over again what kind of people they truly are! Their interest is solely with their son...so lie they will and they have!
I don’t think they’ll ever speak. They raised a murderer, who killed himself. I think they will hold too much shame to speak about it.
What the hell is wrong with some of you? Actually defending and trying to excuse MURDER. It makes me sick.
Exactly. I agree with you. He admitted he killed her according to his own words the FBI found. I believe his parents knew everything and helped him hide and go through with his plan. On the police stop it’s obvious that Gabby was in distress. I don’t understand how all the signs were missed. I have no sympathy at all for that family. Gabby’s family had to wait and wonder what happened to their daughter. It’s so very sad. I hope I never have to go through this with my daughter!!!!
@@stacynewman1632What words say that Brian killed her?
As you try to defend his abuser.
@@emersonmanning6523 Because flying into hysterics and slapping your BF because he stole your ID and doesnt want two pretty women go out to a bar to drink alone at night is totally normal behavior. (Sarcasm) Looks like Gabby may have sealed her fate anyway by taking high risks.
@@sr2291 what high risks are you talking about. Waking up and breathing, having a boyfriend or was it being so sweet that that allowing her to go on and live her life without this sicko was putting herself in danger, oh yeah you deserve everything you get when you are a perfect partner. High risk too desirable
Brian's first grave mistake was letting his temper get the best of him when he killed Gabby. His second grave mistake was not turning himself in and begging God for forgiveness for his sins. He could have possibly spared himself eternity burning in hell. He escaped nothing by killing himself
You can now find at least one ‘notebook’ of Brian Laundrie online. I just read it, and within the notebook - white with blue ink😮He claims that Gabby somehow hurt herself (‘she had a bump on her forehead that got bigger over time)’, that he found her in water in a stream soaking wet, that he tried to carry her out of the woods, and finally laid her down and built a fire to warm her, but that she was shaking violently, ‘in extreme pain’, and that he kept having to wake her up fearing a concussion, and eventually he murdered her as an act of ‘mercy’, which afterwards he realized was a mistake..🙄
Now, the real question is…Do You actually BELIEVE that Story?
OR Do You believe that like most murderers, Brian simply was deflecting and attempting to lessen his culpability of her ‘murder’ by claiming what he did was an act of ‘mercy’ instead of anger and domestic violence…🤔..
P.S. One of the Hosts made remarks regarding Brian’s phone; however from what I recall, Brian did not take his cellphone with him, if I recall correctly (it was mentioned in/on media reports at the time), Brian left his cellphone on the counter at his parent’s house, along with some other items..and eventually, it was turned over to Law Enforcement..(not immediately, but eventually)…🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I’m not even going to waste my time watching a video about the “grizzly” results of Brian’s autopsy. He deserved everything that happened to him at the end of his life and beyond. What’s truly grizzly is what he did to Gabby and then left her in the sun to rot like a dead animal! Then used her credit card on his way back home in Gabby’s van to his accomplices after the fact parents that wouldn’t even talk to her family! Brian’s parents are as guilty as Brian in my book! They aided Brian in his escape and they knew exactly where he was going to be so they could recover his body. They knew they were never going to see him alive again. There’s no other explanation for how quickly they found him.
You obviously have never lost your temper or became out of control or been temporarily blinded by emotion in your entire life, Sir. By the way... I dont believe you.
The credit card.... it was used between the two of them often, just like you might use your wife's or she uses yours. That's not really that big of a deal. Brian had 20 grand in his bank account it was later revealed so its not like he was a bum using Gabby for money.
@@brandonberiault7935 many people lose control but they don’t kill. No excuse. Maybe you should seek help now.
@@ihelpdogs no, he was a murdering bum.
@@brandonberiault7935 Yeah, most of us understand what's it's like to lose our temper. That's why we understand that losing your temper isn't an excuse to kill your girlfriend.
I have to thank you guys for all of the information you provide. Geesh…I remember giving up my obsession with this case right after they were found. I just moved onto other things. I go through several rabbit holes throughout the months, and here you are still covering what’s more. I didn’t think there was anything more to know. The world needs more passionate journalists. Thank you
Really wish these guys would stop interrupting each other to just cohesively tell the story….
Grisly details please spare us.! He murdered Gabby.! That is more than grisly to loss of her life to Gabby, her parents, relatives and friends.! Gabby was so young and had a bright future.! No graduation from college.! No marriage. No babies. And no old age.
JB could turn a sentence into a novel. It's quite a talent
such a sad story...Having experienced my only son dying at 21..my heart goes out to both families...no one should have to bury their child..but the Landries should have spoken to Gabby's parents when Brian came back without Gabby..I understand protecting ur child but right is right! Thank God that family seen that van that poor girl did not deserve to be laid out in the wild with the family having no closure..
The thing is they could have prevented their sons suicide. So he went to prison, at least he would be there to talk to, see, and that's important to parents.
It is sad that the public wants to know every detail. These things are sacred to the family. Let Gabbys family have peace, even Brians. You know the saying, Opinions are like --------, everyone has one. His social life can be dug up on internet. His parents handled it wrong, but his moms family is from another country. Americans talks to much. I just wish people would get over playing detective. No one would want this happening with there brother, son, daughter. The families need to know, we don't.
@@vetgmacatmomfl2055 they are accomplices and should be charged
A very tragedy for both families. A broken dream for a young couple.
I understand protecting your child, too. Absolutely!! I'd be mine's #1 advocate. But right is right. No way would I have not contacted that girl's parents when he got home.
He was a coward,,I wish the police would of taken Gabby to the station in the first place to see how abusive he really was,,wish she told the truth in the first place it would of saved her life,,but it didn't happen,,prayers for the family
as a medical personnel, I will tell you social history usually refers to alcohol or drug use, sexual preference
His parents have their own son’s blood on their hands. They should’ve done the right thing. It’s all about choices and making the right one.
I think they have a weird twisted "honor" system. There was a young serial killer in our town/ A high schooler. His father was in prison for murder. The family was a criminal family. When he went into the courtroom, his mother was by the door and overheard by our son to say "I hope this makes a man of you." At the time- only one murder was thought to be by him until after they started piecing together circumstances of some "friends" he didn't like too much deaths including a boy who was dating his ex girlfriend he wanted to get back with (and did get her back and later set up to and did murder). His brother also went to prison for murder a year after him. The serial killer ended up dying in prison. Oddly he was sentenced to Youth Authority, a codefendant who wasn't a part of the plan but went along with it and helped try to hide the body got a longer sentence as an adult, though he too was under 18. The codefendant had a public defender, the killer had a private attorney hired by the family. Money talks. They are a twisted family and came to a twisted end.
Never envy the lives of others because appearances are deceiving. Just be a good person and be good & kind to the people around you.
Exactly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯
Yes!!
Very wise words to us all❤
Burning Question: did his parents know about the journal and notebook? Had they read the contents? What did Brian tell them about what happened and why? Basically, what did they know and how did they know it?
As for being right-handed: MANY people are not exclusively right-handed, and could easily perform many actions with the left hand. So that part is not a real "puzzle" nor necessarily an inconsistency.
The conspiracy theories were so bad that people legit believed he was hidden under his mother's garden in her backyard.
Why have Laundries not been charged with any obstruction charges
I believe in my heart his parents knew that's what he was going to do and I think it's appalling that they would sit back and let him do it they knew exactly where to go and where to find his body and did they not know where the car was too many things point that they knew I would never allow my child to do that no matter how in trouble he was
They are cowards just like the one they raised. The way that dirt bags parents acted through this whole ordeal is deplorable.
💯 agree with you! Those parents deserve to be n jail. But yet justice fails
He deserved a headshot to his head!
Hopefully animals ate his flesh, I feel so bad for the young lady, she did not deserve to be killed by a psycho boyfriend. Hindsight is 20/40, with all the red flags in the relationship, why she stayed is a wonderment. Any time a man makes you cry, put on your rollerskates and get away as quickly as possible, no good would’ve ever come of this relationship.RIP Gabby.
And there is a special place reserved for the parents of Brian. Believe me they knew. They should’ve called police the minute he came home without Gabby, driving her van.
Yes, when they went in vacation they would have made up with a plan, explained Brian what to do, and let information behind, so that the police would have evidence, and he dissapeared. We would never know if those were his real bones.
His dad whacked him
The older man knows nothing about guns. He said it was a .38, a cross between a .38 and a .457. Then says there were two rounds left in the bullet. Good grief.
From his ignorant report I can determine the gun was a .357 magnum which can shoot a.38 special round and a .357 magnum round and that two live rounds were left in the cylinder.
Why does it always take so freaking long to get to the POINT
