FWIW, there are a lot of interesting comments at site.
The US loves to find fascination in the deaths of certain individuals. We may be obsessing over her disappearance for decades to come. We’ve been down this road with quite a few other victims — it’s like one person is murdered in the country a year, and we all need to focus on this special and unique occurrence.
It’s another part of the Bread and Circuses routine.
Forty eight minutes? Can you give us a summation?
90% BS. I was waiting for one of them to bring up aliens.
No praise here. But if he did kill her, he may very likely get away with it as long as he never reveals where the body is or no one ever finds it.
Busloads of women and children go missing every day. Her disappearance is certainly not nothing, but there are larger news stories, like the border.
Appreciate it if someone posts a real summation, like their observations
Thanks
For those of us who cannot get enough of “missing white girl” this weekend, here is an hour long panel of world-renowned body language experts who took the time to break down and anaalyze the Utah police stop video so that they can inform us laypeople what their body language may or may not mean.
Who?
1. They all nodded and chuckled that there were probably magic mushrooms in the van;
2. With Brian so clearly open and compliant with LEO in Utah, why won't he talk to LEO now?
In focusing on all the background details you left out the meat. What did they conclude?
We can’t save everybody who is in peril.
Sad situation.
And there are many who won’t accept an offer legit help.
What agony for her family.
Sorry for the young lady
But what about the *tens of thousands” of Haitians trying to blow past the border and steal a life here?
YA know, **real news that matters**?
These guys are scary. Would hate to be interviewed by them if I was (or wasn’t) guilty of something.
I watched the first 20 minutes or so and there were a few things I thought they went overboard with...
-Gabbie’s hands behind her back while leaning against the van. If I leaned against my car I’d probably put my hands behind me to keep from getting my clothes dirty.
-One guy pointed out she flicked her hair back as part of a “grooming” routine. The other guy said...it’s hot in the Moab in August...and she may’ve thrown her hair back for cooling purposes.
Anyway...a lot of detail and different takes on the couple’s actions during the video. Very interesting.
Last time we had such a national obsession with a missing persons case was Sandra Levy. 911 took that obsession away.
I learned a few things from the video, both about human behavior and this “case”. Decidedly non-expert speculation therefrom:
The young woman had quit her job with the notion of building a website and becoming a blogger/internet celebrity. Because of this, she spent a lot of time working in her computer, obsessing about her appearance, and keeping the van immaculate, so all would look perfect on youtube. Because Brian did not see blogging/you-tubing as a real career path for her, and resented the time she spent keeping the van immaculate, etc., he interpreted her actions as self-destructive. She got angry and defensive. He thought she was in the thrall of what she herself called “OCD”, and tried to get her to leave the van and her computer for a break. She felt belittled, and her dream threatened. They care about each other, but she’s hurt and angry, while he thinks, perhaps self-servingly, that he’s helping her. They had a couples “fight” over this.
Whether any of that set the stage for subsequent events remains a mystery. One of the odd things the analysis showed was how talkative the guy was at the traffic stop, wanting to explain everything. The change from that to refusing to say a word is ...curious.
Wonder how many missing people could have been found if the media gave them this much attention.
