There were also sightings in Montana and Canada at the same time, so obviously most of these are wrong.
The family camping trip in early September is curious. Why did they go? Clearly it wasn't to have some fun camping time. Were they scouting places for Brian to hide, not realizing it would become a huge national story? Were they afraid that perhaps law enforcement had their house bugged in some way (even though Gabby hadn't yet been reported missing), and wanted a place to talk which was clealry safe from being monitored? Were they gearing up to have Brian run off before Gabby was reported missing, and then he thought better of it and went home with them?
It's also possible that the camping thing was a way for them to buy and hide a getaway car for him, without looking too suspicious.
But there was some purpose for it.
I'm surprised he didn't simply leave the country at that point. There was no missing persons report, and he could have freely gone to any country which doesn't have a COVID travel restriction, and wouldn't extradite. There has to be some on that list. Maybe he thought at that point that they wouldn't find her body, and he could simply claim he left her because they had a fight, and someone else must have done something to her after that. Without a body, it could have been hard to disprove. However, now that the van was caught on video parked right by where she was killed, on the day she was last heard from, he's got all kinds of problems. Had this not become a nationally covered case, that video wouldn't have surfaced.
