Exactly! It strikes me as bad fiction to try to justify a murder-suicide. If had had injured her, why not attempt to get help??? She wasn't a wounded animal.

Excellent analysis. I see what you see.
Right? I mean, she had just, supposedly, have fallen and hit her head and landed in a shallow stream and was suddenly so cold she was violently shaking? Why did they wait until dark to cross the wide stream with all the rocks and uneven bottom?
Exactly... Because most of this is lies. I like what someone said earlier, Brian uses a lot of softening, distancing, and making himself some sort of a martyr/hero for relieving her of her pain.
On the handwritten letter that I saw posted on Fox News, most of the illegible words and phrases are very clear.Typed out:
"Gabby, I wish I was right at your side, I wish I could be talking to you right now. I’d be going through every memory we made, getting even more excited for the future. But [we] lost our future. I can’t [live] without you. I’ve lost every day we [could’ve] spent together, every holiday. I’ll never get to play with [illegible] again. Never go hiking with TJ. I loved you more than anything. I can’t bear to look at our photos, to recall great times because it is why I cannot go on. When I close my eyes, I will think of laughing on the roof of the van, falling asleep to the sight of [illegible] at the crystal geyser. I will always love you.”
"If you were reading Gabs’ journal, looking at photos from our life together, flipping through old cards you wouldn’t want to live a day without her. Knowing that everyday you’ll wake up without her, you wouldn’t want to wake up. I’m sorry to everyone this will affect, Gabby was the love of my life, but I know [adored] by many. I’m so very sorry to her family because I love them. I’d [consider] her younger siblings my best of friends… I am sorry to my family, this [is] a shock to them as well a terrible grief.”
"They loved as much, if not more than me. A new daughter to my mother, an aunt to my nephews. Please do not make this harder for them, this [occurred] as an unexpected tragedy. Rushing back to our car trying to cross the streams of [illegible] before it got too dark to see, too cold. I hear a splash and a scream. I could barely see. I couldn’t find her for a moment, shouted her name. I found her breathing heavily, gasping [illegible.] She was freezing cold. [Illegible] the blazing hot national parks in Utah.”
"The temperature had dropped to freezing and she was soaking wet. I carried her as far as I could from the stream toward the car, stumbling, exhausted in shock, when my [illegible] and knew I couldn’t safely carry her. I started a fire and spooned her as close to the heat. She was so thin, had already been freezing too long. I couldn’t at the time realize that I should’ve started a fire first but I wanted her out of the cold back to the car. From where I started the fire I had no idea how far the car might be, only knew it was across the creek.”
"When I pulled Gabby out of the water, she couldn’t tell me what hurt. She had a small [bump] on her forehead that [eventually] got larger. Her feet hurt, her [wrist] hurt but she was freezing, shaking violently. While carrying her she continually made sounds of pain. Laying next to her she said little, [lapsing] between violent shakes, gasping in pain, begging for an end to her pain. She would fall asleep and I would shake her awake, fearing she shouldn’t close her eyes if she had a concussion.”
"She would wake in pain, start her whole painful cycle again [illegible] furious that I was the one waking her. She wouldn’t let me try to cross the creek, thought like me that the fire would go out in her sleep and she’d freeze. I don’t know the extend of Gabby’s injuries, only that she was in extreme pain. I ended her life, I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted but I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked, I was in shock. But from the moment I decided, took away her pain, I knew I couldn’t go on without her.”
“I rushed home to spend any time I had left with my family. I wanted to drive north and let James or TJ kill me but I wouldn’t want them to spend time in jail over my mistake, even though I’m sure they would have liked to. I am ending my life not because of a fear of punishment but rather because I can’t stand to live another day without her. I’ve lost our whole future together, every moment we could have [shared.] I’m sorry for everyone’s loss. Please do not make life harder for my family, they lost a son and a daughter. The most wonderful girl in the world. Gabby I’m sorry.”
"I have killed myself by this creek in the hopes that animals may tear me apart. That it may make some of her family happy.”
“Please pick up all of my things. Gabby hated people who litter.”

Thanks. Not an expert, but have done my fair share of this as a hobby years ago. There's definitely more to compare, like lowercase letter "F" differences and overall slant to the words in general, and so on.
Snipped by me above. OMG, a perfect analogy, just perfect. Sad, so, so sad, but accurate. Thank you for that.

Good observations. I wonder if some of that could partly be due to the fact that one must be beyond distraught knowing that they're about to end their life in the next x-minutes. I've heard of suicidal people making sure to make their bed, before, well... Not justifying his wording, just wondering if things become less "normal" at that point.

Not that it makes any difference at this point, but the suicide note looks like it comes from different notepad than the one we've been shown. I guess he could have several notebooks.

Brian Laundrie's notebook found near his remains 'may be salvageable', cops say
A NOTEBOOK found near Brian Laundrie’s remains that may contain vital answers to the dead fugitive’s final days could be “salvageable”, authorities have said. The FBI confir…Brian Laundrie's Full Autopsy Report Is Released, Shedding Light on His Time Hiding in Fla. Wilderness
The 47-page report, which PEOPLE obtained from the medical examiner's office, includes toxicology reports and a summary of items collected at the site where his body was foundpeople.com
That's what I think, as well. I could be totally wrong, but it seems like he started spiraling days before he killed her and simply kept spiraling until the end.
