The missing couple motorhome case that shocked the united States has recently been updated.
Before updating, let's review the previous case.
Gabby, 22, and her boyfriend, Brian, 23, have been looking like loving couples on social media before.
Last July, Gabby said on ins that she had accepted Brian's marriage proposal:
"It was a picture of our first date and I love you so much.
Brian asked me to marry him, and I replied Yes!
Brian, you make life unreal, and every day with you is so dreamy. ”
And Brian also expressed his love for Gabby at the time, saying that his biggest fear was to wake up one day and suddenly find that it was all a dream.
"Because every minute and every second with you is as beautiful as a dream."
Gabby and Brian travel across the United States in a modified motorhome on July 2.
But two months later, with Brian alone in his motorhome, Gabby vanished like a human evaporation.
In the face of his girlfriend's disappearance, the boyfriend who traveled with him resolutely remained silent.
He wouldn't say where he and his girlfriend last met, or why they left their girlfriend and went home alone.
On Sept. 19, police found Gabby's body in a remote area of the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming.
Later, according to forensic tests, Gabby's cause of death was suffocation, and her body was already outdoors for 3-4 weeks when it was found.
On September 23, police, who had not yet been able to arrest Brian for murder, issued a federal arrest warrant for debit card fraud, accusing him of stealing more than $1,000 of someone else's debit card during Gabby's disappearance.
However, at this time, Brian had already evaporated.
As early as September 17, Brian's parents took the initiative to contact the police, saying that their son was also missing.
They said the last time they saw Brian, he was carrying a backpack and driving a Mustang, saying he was going to Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, where he often hikes.
His family waited for him to return, but he never returned.
Since then, the search for Brian has become a top priority for the police.
Brian's Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park connects to the Carlton Nature Reserve, which covers 25,000 acres.
The trees are lush and the environment is very dangerous, not only with deep water that is almost chest-high, but also full of snakes and crocodiles.
The police sent a lot of police, out of the drone, bloodhound, police dog, off-road vehicle, looking for 33 days, still found nothing.
For the past month, myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park has been closed to the public in search of Brian.
But on October 19, because of the delay in finding Brian, the Environmental Park announced that it would reopen to the public.
On the first night of the reopening of the Environmental Park, the FBI and Northport police received a call from Brian's parents.
They said they were going to the environmental park early the next morning to look for their son with the police.
They thought they should be able to find him if they followed the places they had provided to the police where Brian usually liked to go.
Surprisingly,
Police searched the environmental park and the surrounding nature reserves for 33 days without finding anything.
But Brian's parents went into the forest for hours to find Brian!
On Wednesday, Brian's parents were escorted by police into the environmental park.
According to Brian's parents' lawyer, the situation at the time was this:
After they went deep into the environmental park, Brian's father left the trail and entered the forest. He looked at the different areas in a zigzag, and the police searched in the same way.
Brian's mother continued on the trail.
At some point, Brian's father found a waterproof bag. It was the one that Brian used to use before.
"The waterproof bag is white and about 20 feet or so off the trail.
It lay in some bush of thorns, and Brian's father didn't want to touch it, he wanted the police to come and see it first, but he couldn't see the police at the time, and a reporter was standing nearby, so he picked up the bag first. ”
Soon after, he met with the police, and together they checked the contents of the waterproof bag. At this time, the police showed him a photo taken on his mobile phone, which was a photo of a backpack, which the police had just found nearby, some distance from the trail. ”
It was at this time that Brian's parents were told that police had also found the body near the backpack. At this point, they were asked to leave the reserve. ”
According to the photos taken by the reporters at the scene,
The police seem to have shown Brian's parents something,
Then Brian's mother seemed to be wiping away tears for her husband.
Police said the remains were found about 2-3 miles inside the Carlton Nature Reserve, which would have taken about 45 minutes to get here from the entrance to Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.
Found with the body that day, in addition to Brian's waterproof bag, backpack, a notebook, and some of the clothes Brian wore on the day he left home.

When Brian's body was found, it was all bones, including part of the skull.
The place where Brian's body and his various belongings were found had previously been underwater, and it was only recently that the water receded.
On Thursday, police went through a dental examination to confirm that the remains did indeed belong to Brian.
At present, the notebook found at the scene has not been opened by the police.
"The notebook is wet and the police will dry it by all possible means before opening it. They will treat it very carefully. ”
Criminologist Casey Jordan said:
"There might be a suicide note, or a letter inside. Let the police see the mental activity of him disappear during this time.
If he had committed suicide, would he have taken the time to write a letter explaining, or regretting his previous actions?
If there were, it would give some answers not only to the police, but also to Gabby's family. ”
However, until this step, many netizens still do not believe:
"I don't believe that the agents searched carefully for 5 weeks and found nothing, and his parents found it on the same day they entered." That's a coincidence. He may be dead, but there are many more stories in it. ”
"His body doesn't turn into bone so quickly... This is definitely a stand-in...."
"Teeth?? He could have pulled out one of his own teeth and put it here, and now maybe someone in Mexico can plant teeth too! ”
Of course, some netizens think that all this is not so difficult to understand.
"I want to say to those who are spreading conspiracy theories: Brian's parents did not bring the remains into the park, the place where they found the remains was an area that could not be searched (too much water) before, and the day his parents joined the search, it was the first time the FBI could search this area."
Police also said they were 100 percent confident that Brian's parents had accompanied police into the park to search without bringing anything with them.
On Thursday night, Steven Bertolino, a lawyer for the Brian family and a longtime friend of their family, said in an interview that
On September 13, Brian was very sad to leave the house, and although his father begged him to stay, he could not stop him from leaving.
Brian told his parents he needed some "fresh air" to go hiking in a nearby nature reserve.
Neither of them expected their son to disappear.
Brian's father had told me several times that he wished he hadn't let him go, but he couldn't stop him.
From September 13 onwards, it was a painful torture for them.
It's a long process.
But Brian was an adult, and he was leaving, and no one could stop him. ”
The lawyer asked the man stationed outside Brian's parents' house to leave.
"I want people in America to know that Chris and Roberta (Brian's parents) are also parents.
They have feelings. They also have children. One of their children has been confirmed dead. They lost a loved one.
Those who are outside their homes, go home and give them a little respite.
Even if it's just one night, please, thank you.
All parents know that losing a child is always a huge pain, no matter what the situation.
Brian's parents have been harassed by those at their doorstep for the past 4 weeks, and to this day, they are still there, which only makes the situation more difficult. ”
But this interview can not calm the anger of netizens:
"'Brian was sad when he left' – what was Gabby's feeling when he was murdered?
'It has been a painful torture for Brian's parents since September 13' – what about Gabby's parents and loved ones after August 27? ”
"As parents, they are failures."
Others say the lawyer is helping from start to finish.
"The Brians' lawyer didn't help their family at all. His initial suggestion, to keep Brian from talking to the police, changed his timeline, and only alienated Brian's family from the police, neighbors, the media, and Gabby's family.
If Brian had cooperated with the police in the first place, even if he had made up some excuse for commutation, at least he would have some answers for Gabby's family and could have reached a plea bargain. Now, however, there were more questions than answers, and both young men were dead. ”
"If Brian had cooperated with the police, he might still be alive now, and if his parents hadn't listened to this lawyer's advice, maybe he might still be alive."
Others lamented:
"What a waste of life. He would have walked away, there was no need to kill people at all, and both of them had a long life to live. ”
With the discovery of Brian's remains, it may be possible to know what finally happened between him and Gabby.
If that notebook hadn't been mentioned, it might have been a mystery forever.
