She blames herself for distracting him. He had her well-trained
Him stating to the officer ‘She’s trying to start up her LITTLE website blog thing ‘ 😳… Speaks volumes as to what he thought of her setting it up and no doubt his lack of support for her 😔
She is taking the blame because she knows he will blow when they are alone, and she is trying to preempt his anger. He will blame everything on her and most likely be violent again. Not being let in the van is a way of showing he is in control and punishing her. She also said she was afraid of being abandoned. I wonder if he had threatened her that he would leave her behind, and in the end, that is what he did.
Since the moment I saw the Bodycam footage when Gabby was still missing, I was hoping you’d make a video. The police were treating Brian like they were old pals. Like they were bonding over how crazy women can be. There needs to be so much more education on abuse and the red flags. 😢
Chris Watts, Onision, and Brian Laundrie 101: narcissists know how to “win people over”, especially people in authority positions (like police). They remain calm, butter up the cops, and play the victim of their “crazy” partners. Watching this tape makes me sad and angry seeing how he manipulated everyone around him, including Gabby, into thinking that he was the victim, despite the fact that the 911 caller said that HE hit HER! Disgusting
I also find it wild that in both Onision and this case is that police weren’t immediately suspicious when a person calls the cops, their partner is in tears and clearly in severe distress, and the guy goes “hey!” like he’s greeting a friendly neighbor… my first question would be: “why are you so relaxed and your partner is in distress??? What happened to make them this upset?” Narcs are master manipulators only until you use your eyes, ear and logic to see the chaos they cause around them.
I don’t think it’s coincidence the physical altercation and the murder happened when she started posting to YouTube. She had SO MUCH potential. I think he knew her channel would grow and was jealous/insecure she’d realize how much of a loser he was and leave. It was all about control.
Brain knew he was a loser, and frightened that if the beautiful and lovely Gabby got out around people, she'd realize it too. He reached his highest level of achievement in life, and Gabby had just begun.
The thing is, when he went home to his parents' house in HER van and she wasn't with him three weeks before anyone but he and his family knew about it, that alone is evidence of foul play.
The police report made me want to puke. They decided Gabby was crazy from the start. Go read ofc. Robbin's police report. When Gabby said something that contradicted what Brian had said, he interpreted that as an indicator that she was in a ''confused'' state. She told them he grabbed her by the face and they just ignore it. Then they fist bumped her abuser!
There are some people who complain that the “narcissism” label is thrown around too loosely. This case is a reminder that narcissists are everywhere and everyone needs to be educated on how to spot the signs, both overt and covert.
I know that look. I’ve cried that cry. She’s afraid of him and afraid he will leave her. He’s destroyed her confidence and she’s too young and scared to get out. I was that girl. That footage makes me cry every time I watch it. That sweet innocent young lady, it breaks my heart.
The parents gave him a head start by sending the police on a wild goose chase. Enablers. I think Brian is a malignant narcissist for sure.
This was totally my relationship and experience when the cops were called. This whole thing triggers my anxiety somewhat. Cops don’t recognize abuse or the victim. So sad!
THE best breakdown so far on this situation. I feel fortunate to have found this channel
He sneaked/stole her ID to prevent her from going out? That screams weasel...
The fact he said “we had a nice morning” then blamed her for ruining it speaks volumes.
This is shocking - yet I’ve seen his behaviour before. Also I’ve seen hers too. His behaviour was VERY odd and reminds me of Chris Watts. His whole body language, joking, sucking up. Police Officers, Judges, Social workers, all professional trainers/course providers…you really need to wise up to these personalities and abuse. There’s enough information out there. ENOUGH!!!
Yes, I also think she would be successful at her vlog. She was so authentic, nice, vivacious but also talented, organised and hard-working. Pity she was too inexperienced to realise that her boyfriend was toxic.
