It's looking like Brian did take a hike in the swamp and didn't return according to his parent's account ?
And then he chose to commit suicide instead of answering Gabby's families' questions ?
It almost indicates Gabby was murdered by Brian and no one else was ever involved, and only Brian was the culprit.
Still many questions are unanswered.
Was BL supported for a time by any outside entity ?
Or did he commit suicide the day he left home ?
Why did his parents wait for four days to report him missing ?
I'm assuming they had to be anxious about him !
Or did the finding or Gabby's remains and the coroner releasing the manner of death as a homicide change the situation as far as BL ?
How did the parents find his belongings so swiftly ?
From the links, it looks like the HRD dogs located remains after the items were found.
Skeptical that it's him until there's official confirmation.
Somewhat doubtful it's anyone else, though.
Speculating here that he took his life soon after leaving his parent's house vs dying from exposure to the elements, as he seemed like the type to have given himself up to LE before going through that type of hardship ?
Imo.
