I think she seemed frantic, trying to control her fear. She was doing all she could to defend him and draw attention away from him. My heavens they were in the same bar/restaurant where two people were later murdered and bodies found two days after this “domestic” situation. So let’s say he murdered the two women, and she saw it or knew about it. If that would be the case he would be terrified of what she might do. The witness said she was outside the van struggling with a cellphone.
Ok but personally I simply find the bfs composure relatively calm given what he had just gone through on the road with gabby.
I have had some personal experience with these scenarios. It can get scary and imho this guy handled himself ok. I have reservations about coming to the same judgments about gabby and about the Utah police.
I took gabbys behavior at face value. It’s possible that I am not going her enough credit as a talented actress. However if she is a talented actress then she must also under your scenario be given high points for duping two policemen impromptu while under high stress. The um of all that is too improbable for me. And it’s all subjective so there is that too...
