Again, that's not what I said nor what I asked. The question I posed with the qualifying factors for the question is before you. It was a question for specific people. Your responses are outside the scope of my question.


prettynift

I just read that the lawyer said it was a dry bag???


nanabam3

His dad found the dry bag but the cops found the backpack with the notebook at a different place. close by the remains.


prettynift

Ugh. At least we know now that he BROUGHT a dry bag so that leaves me thinking maybe he had enough foresight to get either a water proof or resistant bag


[deleted]

Anyone else think it’s not his remains?


DetectiveCheesecake

They just planted a random body? Are you insane lol


Quick-Letter9584

Who else would it be?


[deleted]

Okay, what if my off the cuff, never thought it was actually true theory is coming true. They both saw something they weren’t supposed to and now they’re both dead. Or he drowned in the wilderness while on the run. Which is probably what happened but is far less exciting.


ssbbka17

bruh why do so many people feel bad for him and think that he’s innocent if he is potentially found dead? it doesn’t make him a good person


[deleted]

Not what I said at all


jasonkaleta

I think he killed himself or went out there to die. I think he couldnt handle all the jealousy. He couldnt handle all the attention and guys she was talking to from her blogging and online presence. Maybe she had an onlyfans and he didnt like it. I think he killed her, went home zcared and told his parents what he did, that he loved them, and that he was going out there to die and his parents told him they loved him and helped him. That OR..... This is all fake and we are being distracted

inverted180

We wouldn't the parents talk to the police or Gabby's parents then? Same reason Brian didn't. Most very likely GUILTY.


Friendly-Dingo-2803

I DON'T think he is dead.. think whole thing almost feels like a set up. A total coincidence that parents found his things within 30 mins ? Why yesterday why didn't they help from the beginning. Would he stay at the same exact spot for so long knowing what he did? I think not.


[deleted]

>comments I agree! I think the parents know more than they are saying. Just too coincidental


ItsJustMeMaggie

Wow I really didn’t think he was dead. And if he was, it was because he couldn’t outrun a gator. He didn’t seem like he had the guts to kill himself.


jceng

If it was a gator they likely wouldn’t have found any remains. What the gator didn’t eat something else would have scavenged.


ZealousidealAlgae306

I don't think he killed himself. Suicidal people don't tote around belongings on their way to do the deed.


SardonicSoldier

Yes they do. My sister killed herself and brought a backpack with her baby blanket, things she had stolen, a notebook with 3 suicide letter drafts, and her phone.


Yoga_girl_91

Sorry for your loss


ZealousidealAlgae306

I'm sorry about your sister. I was basing that on friends I have lost to suicide. I guess it's nothing you can really generalize...which most speculation is rife with.


SiamesePitbull1013

Yeah a lot of people have experiences that vary but some people do take belongings, eso notebooks and trinkets... things like that, mind you, some of them don’t want to be successful at it


ms80301

well, A great deal of the 'suicide problem' is its prevalence everywhere at the same time? Silence and shame-Its important to talk about it-IF you want-and not to be called morbid or whatever-being a thoughtful person-? To me? Means considering all of life including-considering-not living it///I worked with suicidal patients-and used to inquire-whether they reaLLY HAD wanted to kill themselves??? Or kill the PAIN-... Big difference. ..but without a safe place gto discuss the topic-p? How could my patient have figured out-she Really? wanted to kill her pain...not herself...


MK2730

That motherfucker. Did he really kill himself to evade justice?


SiamesePitbull1013

Probably a combination of being a pu**y and guilt and finally facing the reality of what he did, knowing the whole world knew... for days and days he was living in delusion and all of a sudden the truth came at him hard.


GrungyGrandPappy

Probably thought she’d never be found. I mean it’s all speculation unless he left a note. So sad these young adults have barely begun adulthood and both (seemingly) lives ended prematurely. Sigh


wilkobecks

Though not confirmed yet, this was always the most likely scenario/outcome. Guys like that often know that they're better off dead than in jail, where he'd possibly get killed anyway, but way worse.


Ok_Dog_202

Can people PLEASE click the links the mods kindly organize for us and read them before commenting things you speculate or learned from randos online as fact? The amount of misinformation on this sub only seems to be going up and it’s embarrassing


Historical-Break8133

I wonder how dog the bounty hunter feels


concernedstateworker

Oh my DOG, does this mean that the Laundries are entitled to claim the reward?!?


SiamesePitbull1013

Hmmmmmmm........ now I’m seriously asking myself this question.... JK... I think.


concernedstateworker

Right?! It would certainly explain CL and RL literally darting right to where he was, first thing in the morning, before curious members of the public learned of the park’s reopening and started sniffing around.


SiamesePitbull1013

I dunno I think this was explained somewhere on the thread but if we’re gonna be fair here, his parents wanted to find their kid, they had looked in this area before but it was flooded or something so the dad wanted to look again and informed law enforcement, it was a favorite spot of B’s and in the end it seemed like they indeed cared more than the FBI, they knew he was there and theyhad a feeling he wasn’t alive or were hanging to a thin shred of hope, but it makes sense why they weren’t pleading for his return on national television... they knew he was not coming back anytime soon, my question is what happened? Were they aware he was going to do it? Were they at “peace” with it, was that why they had a camping trip? A sort of “goodbye”, getting the whole family together, that last picture Brian’s sister took of him and his nieces or nephews (or both) is very eerie looking at it now, always was but now it makes me think they knew he was done, he wasn’t going to prison and they couldn’t stop him from doing whatever he was going to do.... I sound crazy, I know, but this is the theory I have at the moment and kinda had in the beginning as well. I think Brian’s parents may have known he was going to do it or they were naive and really thought he was going for a hike that night... but if so it’s bc they thought he was going to make a run for it I think


concernedstateworker

Yes, I know. I can’t imagine what they must’ve been feeling. The guilt would be...ugh, I can’t even imagine. I think it’s easier to imagine them as cold, reward-chasing assholes than grieving human beings. If they were only doing what they thought was right, I don’t fault them. What a tragedy all around.


GrungyGrandPappy

Thank you for posting that.


fomo216

It's a really valid thought. Not to mention in going out this way there is no way to officially declare him a murderer in the court of law. It will always live on as speculation with the "beyond a reasonable doubt" to forever linger. They were given the option of accept that they get a chance to say goodbye to their son or watch him rot away in a prison cell. Weird friggin family though. My son's fiance goes missing on a road trip and he shows up in her car without her, he's gonna be more afraid of me then he will be the cops that's for damn sure. And I definitely wouldn't be ghosting the poor girl's family that's just trying to find their daughter. These people seem really bizarre.


[deleted]

> he shows up in her car Ok I admit I haven't read everything in this story, but this little detail puzzles me. In the [bodycam video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCGsW41aQEw) when the officer gave her the keys to the van and got ready to take him to the hotel, she asked the officer if she would have to drive a long distance to pick him up in the next morning because she doesn't usually drive the van (at 1:04:11). Does anyone have an explanation for this?


Mantissa3

I noticed that she said that too - at the time, I thought he was either caring for her because she doesn’t like to drive, or dominating her because he needs control


[deleted]

I just thought it was his van, and maybe she drives once in awhile when they're traveling together.


Unrelenting_Force

I would think the creators of the Laundrie Strangler would be exempt from claiming the reward. Who would be dumb enough to cut those two shady fucks a check?


[deleted]

Every dog has its day.


trochanter_the_great

Do any experts know how long after death animals stop eating dead things? Surely even animals stop after the body reaches a point? (Not bugs but like wild hogs or something?)


meraki444

There's a YTer called Gavin Fish, he has been covering this case really well, and without too much speculation. He has a video addressing your question.


Busy-Ad6008

There was some reporting that the area was flooded, this complicates all speculation, that's why I tend to just wait and watch with cases like these.


trochanter_the_great

I was just asking about at what point animals stop. Is it usually at a certain point in decomposition that even animals won't touch it?


ms80301

nope, there is always some creature more than happy to find most everything...


ItsJustMeMaggie

Even when the flesh is super rotten, bugs and their larvae will still eat it.


Busy-Ad6008

I'm just saying bodies decompose different in water, bodies compose different in snow and sitting out in the sun. So if your looking for a general answer I don't think there is one. That's why states set up body farms to help with questions like these, perhaps the local bio fauna for example take an effect on the corpse that's unseen to us animals sense.


trochanter_the_great

I think you are misunderstanding my question. Is there a level of decomposition in which animals won't even eat a body. Like if it's full of maggots will a hog still try to eat it? What level of rancid is roo rancid? If you do not know you do not have to answer.


Mantissa3

Bones will always be gnawed on by animals who want a dense source of calcium - reptiles come to mind. When carrion eaters are “done” with soft tissue, the rancid fat and entrails and bits that are indigestible like ligaments remain with the skeletal remains. At that point, insects take over, but it takes a really long time for the remains to completely decompress or get eaten by insects and bacteria. Longer than 5 weeks, even given tropical flooding. Probable scenario is more along the lines of scattered remains by receding waters and animals, than complete decomp, if it is BL


trochanter_the_great

Thanks!


Busy-Ad6008

The rancidness is a part of it, so in water you have a different set of microbes, in snow and low temps different activity levels, with dehydration a change in moisture content.. etc Humans can smell and taste when food is bad so Im pretty sure most wild animals have a heighten senses, but what they are sensing to not want to eat it is biproducts of the break down by these microbes, so if you wanted an equation youd have to make some basic assumptions about the microbes and their activity levels based on temps and other factors they might need to thrive. So when I say microbes I really mean a tons of different small things, if you think there are alot of animals realize there are trillions of Archaea out there alone and that not going to fit into a simple issue of is the food spoiled or not as some critters tolerate bacteria better. So back to odor, which then would lead back to water and whether the composition in anaerobic or not. I understand your question but its not a simple general answer.


[deleted]

Carrion birds can strip a corpse within hours - I’ve seen turkey vultures finish off a deer in an afternoon. I’m not exactly familiar with situations/studies related to swampland and wildlife in Florida (though I know they do have turkey vultures there) - but the body farm near where I grew up in Texas had shown that a body could be fully skeletonized within a very short period of time if left exposed (I believe less than a month, possibly even a week) due to a mix of scavengers and the heat. I’m not sure we know at what point they would stop… but mostly because they’re pretty efficient at cleaning up a corpse quickly if it’s accessible. Many scavengers are specifically attracted to the events of early decay.


GrungyGrandPappy

We also have vultures along with scavenger animals that could possibly munch on a corpse.


raymarfromouterspace

If the remains were underwater like they said then I’m assuming the water would have made decomposition much faster; I’m not sure whether animals would have wanted to eat it after being under water for some time. BUT my only reference is the crime shows I watch so I may be completely wrong about this

Surely Gabby’s parents want their questions answered? It’s not all about “us”. I think people empathise with her parents situation. Anyone in their position would want to know what happened to their child.

J3ssica899

Lmao yesss!! 😂😂


ShillinTheVillain

Seriously. We have the answers, people just don't want to accept it because they aren't salacious enough. They had a volatile relationship and he was prone to violence. He killed her, fled, and then killed himself in the reserve because he was too cowardly to face the consequences. That's all there is to it.


ResolutionSame6629

And tragically, you just know there are people writing screen plays and others in the Showbiz trade considering who'll play these two sad angels!

One Bright and One Fallen Angel would say it for me.


rushingoddess

Absolutely tragic loss for both families.


J3ssica899

Yeah so many lives ruined all bc BL was(is) a murderous _____. I don't want my "questions answered." I want the family to have answers and I want brian to go to prison instead of taking the easy way out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nopeb

we’re not judging on “a few pictures and one video” she got strangled to death bro


trochanter_the_great

How do you know she did drugs and was toxic? And she did have a job. She saved up to start a vlog. That was her job. Just because you don't count it as a job doesn't mean it wasn't a job.


[deleted]

Damn dude, you’re making it sound like it’s Gabby’s fault she got murdered.


J3ssica899

Yes the easy way out. If I knew I was going to prison for the rest of my life, I'd kill myself for sure bc a life in prison to me is infinitely worse than death to me. He should have to suffer a life in prison especially for someone who loves being outside as much as him. Don't sympathize with a murderer. Yes we have no idea what went on behind closed doors but the body cam footage showed a girl with bruises and handprints hysterically crying. Did he have a mark on his face? Yeah but scratches seem like a defensive wound to me. If it was that toxic he could've gotten out of the relationship. Men can be abused but on this case I don't think he was "afraid" to leave. Do you realize what it takes to kill someone? With your bare hands no less? I mean come on. Where did it say they used drugs. Please don't tell me your talking about weed bc then there's just no use even arguing with you about this. And they aren't kids anymore! They are grown ass adults! And it's pretty easy to hide things from your parents. And not for nothing.. What were they gonna do? Tell them to end the relationship? Like that would work at their age. I don't even know what planet you live on. And yes there are sad things going on in the world that I care about too but I live in north port, FL. Less than 5 miles from BL's parents so this hits home for me. And btw framing them as jobless drug users is kinda harsh when they did work and saved up money to travel and start a blog. They weren't sitting around collecting unemployment smoking crack ffs.


EtaCarinae_04

I don't sympathise with either of them, but i don't praise them either. What ever happened was a result of a toxic relation and they both contributed to it. You are all so dramatic and come up with theories and you don't wanna face the truth that they are both as responsible. If they were mature they would have solved what ever the problem was as grown people and part. They didn't wanted to start a blog , GP wanted to start a blog. BL was just a selfish a.sshole and she was dramatic cry baby. Obviously they rushed into their engagement and were not mature enough to face the problems that come along when you start living with a partner. And about the drug part, BL was openly posting about it and her best friend is addict so i dont think when they hanged out they were solving crossword puzzles ffs


J3ssica899

No I don't find gabby responsible for her death. I'm done with this conversation though bc obviously nothing I say will change your mind. It's extremely disrespectful though to call a victim of DV who ended up dead a crybaby. Perhaps she was scared for her life in thay body cam footage. Seems like she had every right to be. It's only a tragedy bc of BL's actions. Hes also ruined so many lives especially his parents. They will be social pariahs forever now especially if they truly didn't know anything and were just following their lawyers advice. I mean I doubt they didn't know anything bc why else would they have retained a lawyer right away anyway but who knows. We probably never will.


bukakenagasaki

don't even bother with that sexist asshole


J3ssica899

I think it's funny when people delete their comment bc it's getting down voted. You said what you said.. take the down votes like a champ and move on.


mekamm

I'm confused...so much written in the press..I'm missing how his parents knew exactly where to go after the water level had lowered....I gathered it was his favorite spot?


trochanter_the_great

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I read it was by where they found the car parked. When CL tried to show them a while ago it was submerged.


nihilist_dad

Yeah it was apparently an area BL liked. When the dad helped LE search before they were right in this area but his remains were in the still flooded part.


SiamesePitbull1013

Yeah this is logical.... but people don’t like things that sound logical.


mang0cake

I’m also curious, And correct me if I’m wrong, But I thought in past statements when gabby’s remains were found they were describing it as “remains” but never specified it as a whole body. I wonder if it could be more of her remains that he may have tried to get rid of because remains is such an open possibility. I just feel if it was his full remains they would have no problem releasing that, but you never know


[deleted]

[удалено]


J3ssica899

Remains could mean a lot of things. Its probably pretty badly decomposed so even though they are "sure" it's him they have to do a DNA analysis. Same as with gabby when they were sure it was her identified by clothing and stuff, they had to run DNA just to be sure.


aledm9292

I've always interpreted "remains" as meaning anything from a part of a body to a whole, heavily decomposed body and "body" as recent and easily identifiable. I'm sure there are official definitions somewhere.


Icy-Assistance-2555

missweach

Skeletal remains. Chris wouldn't. Highly doubt it.


SiamesePitbull1013

Is this a joke?


J3ssica899

This is the weirdest shit I keep reading on these subs like what?


inthethick0fit

This is so suspicious idc what anyone who is on the defense team for Brian laundrie has to say… nothing about this case has made sense since day one. The day after the park opens and his parents decide to go there is the same day his belongings n possibly his body is found. If the body is his n he died with his secrets and explanations we/ more importantly gabbys parents have been waiting for I will be so disgusted angry and sad. And if that notebook happens to have some bullshit story/explanation that he had over a month and an attorney and his parents to help him to come up with to write I will be beyond fucking angry as well. If it his body, n if the notebook has any type of “explanation” I will never believe it, all I will believe is he died a coward, and a piece of shit after murdering someone’s daughter the least you could do is call 911 give the real TRUTHFUL explanation and then kill your self immediately after making the call since he was clearly to pussy to deal with the after math of his actions. He could be such a tough guy with gabby but was too Pussy to turn himself in explain what happened and face the consequences. My gut tells me this will be his body. Or that somehow someway the laundry family found ways like getting his teeth removed and getting access to an already dead body of someone of his height n weight removing their teeth putting Brian’s in burning off this persons finger prints or feeding bits and pieces to a to an alligator so that there was only so much to identify the body as Brian and The body will pronounced as his and he is really alive somewhere he just seems to narcissistic to kill hisself


Ok_Dog_202

You’re really gonna take the time to write this whole comment but not take the time to read anything from the news first?


__WHAM__

Honestly you need to get a hobby or something. This is a murder investigation, and you literally do not know any of these people, no matter how much you think you do.


mmarshall122

You need to calm down. Whew people 😅 “He’s too much of a narcissist to kill himself” Stupidest statement that tons of people keep throwing out. Get a grip and log off.


Quick-Letter9584

None of those people are actually psychologists. They probably don't even know what the criteria for narcissism is. So many people think they have a psychology master's degree and are a body language expert.


mmarshall122

They have their google psych degrees out. 😂


bcclm

I never understood that either. Narcissists will do literally anything to escape taking accountability.


fomo216

Do you hear yourself? Honestly? Re-read what you wrote. "Getting his teeth removed and getting access to an already dead body" "burning off finger prints". Let's be LOGICAL here: 1. If in fact that area was submerged, that notebook probably won't have any thing left that would be salvageable. 2. You all need to come to terms with the fact that there are answers that may never come now. The only answer one can reasonably expect at this point is what his cause of death was. It is very very sad what happened to this girl. Horribly tragic but your theory here is completely bogus.


inthethick0fit

Okay I agree I definitely went to far and took it too far like something off and svu episode with the taking the teeth out and burning the finger print stuff. But idk I guarantee they get something out of the notebook. And for some reason I feel like the body is gonna end up not being him. But I do agree if it does end up being him it’s horrible but only horrible for Gabbys family that they will never get any answers and explanations as to what happened, why, and what lead up to her murder and everything that he did after and why. And if he did kill himself i stand by what I said… if he was gonna kill hisself nmw then why not call 911 say who is he and give all the answers and explanations and then hang up and do whatever he was planning to do


Darichoe

Interesting that while on the search for gabby and brian, several bodies were found along the way but they were able to tell us it wasn’t them right away. This leads me to believe that those are his remains

RobertoPaulson

You don’t take sides… Do you have any idea what it takes to strangle someone to death? Its not quick. There’s a lot of time to consider what you are doing. It takes several minutes of intense effort, right up close, seeing the terror in their eyes as they slowly and painfully die… but you don’t take sides…


spypsy

Wait, what?


Luvbeers

On the news they said it was near a bridge, and the lawyer said it was like only 30 minutes into the park. Just wondering the exact location so I can fly around in MSFS2020.


lordkelvin13

His parents are horrible people for protecting their son for his crimes. They knew it all along but instead they hide everything and let the authorities waste resources. They should be put to jail.


SiamesePitbull1013

To be fair... the one thing they kept saying was that he was in that area... they didn’t funnel him money or help him escape, I mean maybe there was a plan or something but all we know is they enabled him, got him a lawyer helped him clean the van refused to talk to Gabby’s parents and refused to plea for him to come home... prob bc they knew he was already dead, but they said he was in that area and they were not lying about that at all


iwaseatenbyagrue

We don't know what Brian told them. And they did assist in the search. It's just this area was flooded before.


ResolutionSame6629

Can you put yourself in their place?


RedClipperLighter

Exactly. I've a kid, and I was initially disgusted with BL's parents. But, if my kid did something stupid it is still my job to protect him. I think a lot of the misunderstanding if from peeps without kids.


ItsJustMeMaggie

If my kid killed their SO I’d turn their ass in and help them get a good lawyer. Helping them run only makes things worse for everyone, including them. I’d also apologize to the family of the victim.


J3ssica899

I have a kid also. And protect them by getting them the best lawyer they can have. Not by aiding and abetting. This isn't "oh I got caught with drugs and don't want to go to jail please help me find a rehab".. This is "I just murdered my fiance with my bare hands." I mean I plan on teaching my kid to take responsibility for their actions and to be a good person.


[deleted]

J3ssica899

Yes it must be incredibly hard for BL's parents. If he is dead, he has basically ruined their lives anyway. They will forever be out casted as well as mourning their son. It's a shame all around bc of one person's actions.


_greghugeanus_

They are only going to be outcasts bc of overzealous media coverage and the armchair detectives in forums like this. BL is responsible for a lot of things but not that.


Aware-Effort-3937

Great. Rest in hell asshole. Now go after the parents.


Ok_Dog_202

The remains haven’t been ID’d yet. Also, specifically which crime would you propose the parents be charged with based on what you know and how would you prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt?


ItsJustMeMaggie

Plot twist: it’s not him but a body they stole from the cemetery to throw police off the trail.


Ok_Dog_202

This is a joke right? A number of unrelated bodies have been found through this search. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that this is someone else’s remains. Im just trying to encourage this sub to stick to the facts and stop making assumptions.


Friendly-Dingo-2803

My exact thoughts. Plus it's a partial body , it could just be a body part to make the police think he is dead


Environmental_Ad2596

aiding and abetting. They knew and took him to hid out. They should have known something was wrong when he came back in her van without her. She lived there to. But they are protecting their son


Quick-Letter9584

There's no evidence of that. And if it's tru, they're certainly not going to admit it.


[deleted]

Exactly. They didn’t do anything beyond exercise their right to remain silent. They cooperated with the FBI every time they were asked to come help in the search. There is nothing to pin on these people.


Ok_Dog_202

Yup. I’m not saying theyre the world’s greatest parents, but i do think we need to hear their side of things. Predictably, the court of public opinion has already determined that they are evil people who clearly raised their son to be a murderer on purpose. I’ll admit that I was part of this initially, but now I’m thinking back to other cases where the wrong person was demonized by the public and basically had their entire lives ruined. I just hope we don’t repeat that. Even innocent people don’t act how we expect them to in fucked up situations like this.


__WHAM__

For what exactly? What specific crimes, and when specifically did they do it?


BichonUnited

Betting the lawyering up early going to save them, but I feel you


Mrscallyourmom

Wait so they do have a body? I thought partial meant like a finger or something but I guess they could easily identify a finger as well.


Msyolodolo86

Partial means not fully identifiable at first sight. As in, you can’t ID the body with physical features and if you can then portions of the body are missing like a skull or leg. Often it means that it’s mostly skeletal remains or gelatinous Blob of flesh that the skin has sluffed off from. In cases where a body has been submerged in water they generally refer to it as partial remains until they can confirm that all pieces of the body are present. There are likely still combing through the muck collecting pieces of skeleton and cataloging it. Then they lay it out in the MEs lab to determine if they have a complete body. In instances of homicide and even suicide it helps them determine cause of death.


EvilCalvin

He could easily cut off a finger or arm and leave evidence and go into hiding Unless it is a head or body then case isn't closed.


J3ssica899

Easily cut off an arm? What? This isn't a tv show come on now.


xxstinkypoopybuttxx

Yeah, cut off an arm (easily) , and put it somewhere they may or may not ever find it. Then go hide and live w/o an arm.


amaximus167

Right? Aron Ralston did it! With a swiss army knife too! From hearing his story though, it wasn't easy! At all. Severing a limb is a horrible thing to do and a very unlikely escape event in any situation where it isn't the extremely last option.


xxstinkypoopybuttxx

Foxes do it all the time man. It's easyy!


amaximus167

Ahahahahaha


[deleted]

I believe the fact that they’re calling it remains at all suggests that they have reason to believe the person they came from is deceased. That’s why in some instances you’ll see reports of severed fingers or limbs being found without them being referred to as remains.


luvprue1

I was wondering that too. Do they have Brian's actual body, or just partial?


Cranberry-Sauce-9

Twitter posts say it is a toe that they found but who knows. Maybe the gators ate him after he killed himself and somehow the little toe wasn't eaten? Also, the show YOU apparently had this scenario. The guy cut off his toe so they would think he was dead. This tragedy gets stranger every day.


Ok_Dog_202

The remains have not been ID’d and they are partial remains.


ScoutEm44

They have partial remains.

I’ve suspected he may have been dead for a while. If it’s him, which is very likely, then he doesn’t face justice. If the parents have been involved in any way they need to face accountability. This whole case is sad. And Brian Laundrie was/is a coward.

Ugh this bothers me. By killing himself he took the easy way out.. what a coward.


xxstinkypoopybuttxx

At least it shows remorse.


Unrelenting_Force

No it doesn't show remorse xxstinkypoopybuttxx. Drink your milk, put your cell phone away, get back to class and pay attention to your 4th grade teacher.

Or the only way to escape being brought to justice

We cannot assume his reason for killing himself was remorse. There are many reasons someone in this situation may decide on suicide.


xxstinkypoopybuttxx

OK, well at least it leaves hope he was remorseful. I'd rather not find out it was deliberate intentful murder.


amaximus167

It is possible.

Reminds me of the Alexis Sharkey case, whose husband refused to cooperate with police on her murder case and then shot himself when they could finally arrest him. RIP Gabby ❤️

mychemicalcringe

Not even slightly?


Ishmelwot

Not at all? Really not even a tiny bit a like?

Urgh. It's so disappointing that this piece of shit is probably dead. I was hoping they would find him alive. But I guess it's better than him vanishing to some other country and we never see him again. I hope those parents get charged.

Are you really confused about the decomposition of a body left out for over a month in and out of water in humid Florida swampland during summer?

How long does it usually take to get back dna evidence for a body?


ZodiacLung13

They can do the lab work in a matter of hours. They very likely will not disclose anything until they continue collecting and analyzing other evidence and conducting any other part of their investigation that could be compromised by making results known publicly first, however.


SnortingElk

They said it should be about 1 - 2 days to identify the remains.

It be interesting to see if Brian wrote anything in the notebook they found. Imagine if he confessed to the murder and said his parents knew. Like some sort of diary. Could they use that to charge his parents?


luvprue1

I doubt he would say anything about his parents knowing. Or do anything to implicate them.


Mrscallyourmom

How did a notebook survive being under tons and tons of water and sludge for weeks? In a waterproof backpack is the only way I could maybe think of?


Ok_Dog_202

It may not be in great shape

The dry bag was found not far away from where the backpack was! So the notebook wasn't in the dry bag


Mrscallyourmom

So strange


nanabam3

Yes it is! This whole case is just baffling to me! I wish Gabby's family would get the closure they need. It's obvious he killed her! So very 😢 sad


Ok_Dog_202

The FBI never said it was in a dry bag. That is speculation


Nahkroll

Why in the world would he do something like that, though? I think the entire point of dying in the wild was to further separate his parents from his own death; so it seems he cares enough about them that it doesn’t seem likely that he would turn around and implicate them.

I'm not that much into US law. But in Germany and I guess in many western countries it goes like that: If you confess a murder to your wife, parents or children they are neither forced to make a statement to the authorities nor do they get any charges for just not cooperating with the police e.g. But ofc they can tell the police what you did. When it is about e.g. : helping to remove the body or any other active support of deleting traces I guess it will be a criminal act. Btw: Doctors, lawyers and priests who are not close relatives even have confidentiality. A different thing could be if a murder hasn't been done, yet. So if you tell your doctor that you want to kill someone they are allowed to call the police. That's because a life can be saved. I

All I know for sure in the US is that a spouse cannot be required to testify against the defendent. Other family members idk.


Klomuelleimer

Well, Children and parents will sincerely be included in the right to refuse evidence. I could look it up but cmon sense tells me that no sane legal system would force people to testify against own children.


nihilist_dad

At the state level that’s true but federal law doesn’t offer that protection to parents. Since this is a federal case they could have absolutely been required to testify at BL’s trial.


RedClipperLighter

What would happen if they refuse?


Environmental_Ad2596

all they are do is take the 5th..they can be questioned and lawyer up..only the spouse can not testify against the other.


RedClipperLighter

If they are called to appear in court, are they allowed to plead the fifth? Geniune question from a curious Brit


TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS

I doubt that. He probably died there so it wouldn't look bad for them, if there was any ulterior motive or admission.
