RIP, very sorry for the family. What a shame. This sounds like a simple hike gone wrong for the victim. I live in E. TN near the Smokies and while the map shows how close this trail was to Cherokee and Maggie Valley N.C., that doesn't mean it wasn't remote. Even on the Tennessee side, you can...

Thank you for the updates. I live in Tennessee and haven't seen any news about this case whatsoever. It's just shocking that they could disappear completely so close to a town, even a small town. What happened to them? Maybe as people are out hiking and looking at wildflowers this spring someone...

Very sad ending. RIP. ❤

Too cold and too deep of a river to swim at night. An intoxicated person might try it, though. Very sad!

Having studied the map, I can't figure out why he would go to the Riverwalk at that time of night. It really makes no sense.

This one gives me chills. I used to live on Queen City Avenue for a very short time while in graduate school in Tuscaloosa. In the early 80s I lived right off of University Boulevard, so not on the direct route where this young man was walking, but in that neighborhood. Tuscaloosa is a typical...

That is a very common type of tent. We had one for our children 20 years ago very similar to that. It's lightweight but not that flimsy actually. It has a wire or plastic frame inside to hold it up, and if the tent pegs are hammered into the ground it stays up well. I think our tent had an extra...

OMG, her poor son! Only 10 years old. So sad. This is a weird case but now I think her disappearance has to be connected to her employer's legal trouble. Maybe she knew too much and they were afraid she would flip on them in court? They need to find her car, but I'm not to hopeful. JMOO

The incident was memorable enough for them to remember weeks later when it was reported that Gabby was missing. And we don't know how many others saw it - maybe quite a few people. As far a "screaming" goes, it could just mean he was raising his voice and getting in the faces of the restaurant...

So "giving BL space" was the answer all the time, because otherwise he would spin out of control? Soothe the beast or he will bite you? Too bad he still died in the swamp after getting some "space" from his parents. And you say Gabby should have learned from his parents to just let him go off on...

I knew they were going to say this. Brian was upset when he left, although the parents didn't try to stop him, apparently. Completely predictable. But why did they not make this public before? It might have helped his case if people thought he felt remorse over Gabby's death, but Nahhh, the...

It's a New York thing. I have two friends from New York, one from Ithaca who now lives in Tampa, and one who has always lived on Long Island. They have both told me that "useless" is just about the worst thing anyone can say about a person.

Truly, an alligator could live in any body of water large or small in eastern coastal plain of the U.S. I wouldn't stand too close to a ditch full of water anywhere south of Atlanta, and every swamp has alligators even parks like Mykkahatchi where they encourage camping and fishing. JMOO This...

For those just arriving here: this is confirmed by the Denver FBI using dental records. 'Bones' found at North Port reserve belong to Brian Laundrie: FBI

Well-deserved heat! This whole mess was bungled from the beginning, and now it's a whole new level of crazy. JMOO
