What is the latest update? r/vanlife seems to have anchored this discussion.

All of the assumptions and biased interpretations of this video show exactly why there is a downside.

I wouldn't want to talk to the parents of the crazy girl I just left behind and broke up with. Apple probably didn't fall far from the tree.

ETA: Personally, I think she went off the rails and he finally snapped and killed her. Whether it was intentional or not, I don't know.

A video of a domestic stop was posted today. It shows that she has/had some major emotional instability related to anxiety and that this would manifest into domestic abuse (she admitted to hitting/slapping him and didn't refute his claim that she grabbed the steering wheel). Kind of flips the script on the narrative but doesn't absolve the guy of potentially murdering her. Just paints a more detailed description of who she was, generally.

Also has shown that people who have already made their minds up will bend reality to fit in with that belief pattern (see: Youtube video comments)

He did.
I think it’s obvious she wasn’t/isn’t mentally well but he didn’t seem the type to be able to deal with adversity either. After watching a bit of that video I could see him driving home to his parents even if he wasn’t involved in her disappearance/death. He didn’t seem mature or responsible at all.

The accidental fall thing makes no sense though with the last text message. How did he get home in 1 day if they were in Yellowstone? With her being a YouTuber I doubt her phone wasn’t in her pocket or hands.

If we assume she fell in an altercation, did he retrieve the phone off her body and send that to her uncle?

Just a hunch, I will bet Meth is involved.

I think she killed herself and he is afraid he’s going to be blamed and held responsible. He called his parents and they told him to say nothing, come home, we’ll get an attorney and go from there. Just my guess.

But you would tell your lawyer, if youre a decent human. Your lawyer would tell the details to others that are necessary, if he's not shite, but lawyers aren't exactly known for scruples.

A problem with the he just up and left her claim is that her mother tried to call him and his parents many times when they couldn't contact her and they all refused to take her call.

Not talking to the police who are investigating a potential homicide is one thing. Not talking to the girl's parents in the immediate aftermath of her disappearance is another. If she was acting so bad/crazy that you drove off, why wouldn't you tell her parents? Why wouldn't your parents tell her parents? Hey, your crazy bitch daughter is at a campground in Utah, we broke up and I'm out for good. What about their friends?

Bottom line: if there was an explanation that absolved him of serious criminal liability someone would have heard it by now.


If he just left her, his lawyers would almost certainly release a statement to this affect and have him cooperate to a certain extent.

Not just telling the family or police that she was going crazy and I left makes very little sense.

She is dead, and he had something to do with it, whether he snapped or it was in supposed self-defense.

Well, he's a suspect now so that didn't work.

Sunk cost. He was always going to be a suspect/blamed, until clear video gets released of her death (it won't).

Not saying it was a good decision. I just have a gut feeling after watching that video.

Correct.


He has done nothing but cast suspicion on himself. Its not rational behavior if she is missing.

SHe's not missing. He knows where the body is.

If there's a reasonable explanation and he is not responsible (she killed herself, he just left, accident) then the lawyers will generally get ahead of it and say that, or try to get their client to help so they can get their version of events out there.

That isn't happening here. They are saying nothing. So...

I feel like we would know if she was dead or not yet if it was that. The way that he’s been completely silent and his lawyer and all that just seems weird. They are trying to make it look as if she’s still alive or he doesn’t know where she is. He would have told his attorney by now that she’s dead at least. Letting them search for her for how long before you just tell them she’s dead.

I'm actually really interested in what someones legal responsibility is in this case

Lets say he killed her in self defense. She was being aggressive on a ledge and to keep from falling, he pushes her and she either falls off the ledge or she hits her head on a rock

What is his responsibility now when it comes to notifying authorities. Does he have any?

That is also very plausible

I've asked him his twice. Nothing solid yet.
