1. Who else's could they be but his?

[dewsgirl]

2. True. But it is now confirmed.

[getagrip_already]

8. a hapless searcher maybe? or lost hiker?

He killed his fiancé. What's one more death if caught off-guard?

Not saying it isn't him. But if he was desperate and surprised, it could be anyone.

DNA will prove it one way or another if the fbi is involved; florida, not so much..

[Sneederbunk]

16. Someone else the killed?

[BlackSkimmer]

3. Link?

No one else has reported it so far.

I do hope this is over.

4. Any report on how he died?

He was supposed to be a "survivalist" outdoors guy.

Maybe a gator got him!

This does save Gabby's family from having to go through a gruesome trial.

[dewsgirl]

11. No not yet, maybe never.

[liberalla]

20. I'd like to find out he took his own life. It would indicate realization and remorse.

If he did, that would've been plenty of time for animals to feast on his remains, leaving mostly bones...

[Rorey]

5. Their lawyer asked that the public respect their privacy

I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Life will never be normal for them again.

6. I hate that I have to think this, but I'd like to see the ME report of what remains were found...

If it hasn't occurred to anyone else, one can live without one arm or a hand or fingers, as but one example.

It is just so damned suspicious in terms of the parents' behavior throughout this. So, I'd like to see evidence that they found sufficient remains to leave no doubt.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

9. How about this

The parents were so ashamed that they killed him and fed him to the gators. OK, I don't believe that.

[dewsgirl]

15. Dental Records, they found skeletal bones.

[hlthe2b]

17. I've seen nothing reported of what remains they found. Please post a link.

Dental records would be conclusive, no doubt. I hope that is the case.

I hope for all concerned this is the end of this ordeal.

[dewsgirl]

22. You're welcome.

7. My guess (only my guess)

Took easy way out Overdose probably then gaters ate him

12. Story up on CNN

Confirmed by the FBI

14. I'd bet my money on murder-suicide.

[intrepidity]

23. Heart-wrenching, all of it

My theory is that it was an accidental death (Gabby)--or rather, argument that escalated out of control--and he returned home to tell his parents that he was going to suicide rather than go to jail. So they helped him, with the understanding that that's what he would do. They knew where to go, because that was the plan.

Man, I don't know--as a parent... you want to support your kid no matter what.

Awful, all around, for everyone.

[Xolodno]

24. He went on one last hike to die.

He knew the area and was probably one of his favorite spots. And decided to end it all there.
