That's not the outcome I was hoping for
Any new updates on how he may have died, if there is any new information on Gabby?
Sad end to a sad case. Hopefully there was something in his notebook that gave Gabby's family some closure.
Just saw this. Brian admits to being responsible for Gabby’s death in his diary

To me that's just normal curiosity about the details of a sequence of events which dominated the news for weeks.Morbid or not I'm not sure but I wish I knew what his confession actually stated. There's a lot still unanswered and maybe that stuff isn't in the notebook but maybe what was the reasoning, what caused him to snap. I know so many times that's the question "why", why did they kill so and so.
Honestly I was more going for like what in that exact moment kind of thing, like what made him snap. Was there an argument, was it nothing at all and it was just a cold calculated thing, was she wanting to leave him, did he threaten to leave her and decide no if I can't have her then no one can, was it just a blind split second thing, etc. Whenever I see or hear about stories like this I'm just curious as to what happened not necessarily generalized stuff but like the actual decision. To take someone's life is extremely serious so I guess I wonder the whys behind someone actually doing it. So even if he was someone who abused her that, to me at least, doesn't answer the why he decided in that moment to be responsible for her death. Not all abusers kill, not all abusers even physically touch their victims in a harmful way.Sadly, the "why" in many domestic violence situations is the victim is seen as a disobedient possession by the abuser, not a person with agency so they feel justified.
There is a turning point, a hard break and this is usually when there is a snap, for the especially dense it happens when they get divorce papers, arrested, a POA. It's that moment a couple realizes breakup is imminent, the moment a parent realizes their child will no longer tolerate them, the moment a friendship stops, that blip in an endless sea of communication. We've all experienced this break where no-one on the outside can recognize it but those on the inside see it and the abusive person needs to either step back or lash out, some just can't get a grip so it's very dangerous. THIS is why domestic violence shelters are hidden hoping that time will calm things a bit, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.Honestly I was more going for like what in that exact moment kind of thing, like what made him snap.

**I feel like I need to preface this, this is just me wondering out loud on a thread about it.
Those two don't have to be mutually exclusive. You aren't obligated to care, no one said otherwise.I don’t give a rip why he did it. I’m glad that he’s dead.
I do understand all that you are talking about, I was really just speaking about Brian in particular not general stuff. Lot of posters spent a lot of time talking about the ins and outs of their relationship without knowing much about it as no one really corroborated domestic issues between the two and we still don't have that even now. Combine that with him leaving at some unknown time, dying at some unknown time but leaving a journal taking responsibility for it I guess considering how much time was spent on this thread discussing all of that I didn't really think it would be so controversial to wonder why he ended up killing her as in what in that moment led him to it, it seemed to be very much a large portion of what was discussed in this now 90 page thread by quite a lot of people.There is a turning point, a hard break and this is usually when there is a snap, for the especially dense it happens when they get divorce papers, arrested, a POA.
