That recent missing persons incident in the news

[DdBob]

Yep. And as long ago as this likely happened, with 5 weeks of the body being in the water and animals having access, unless there is a big hole in the skull it is unlikely they will discover the cause of death.

probably suicide and probably drowning is my guess

It looks like they likely found the guys remains. It kind of fits what I figured happened. He accidently kills the girl in a fight. Drives home trying to figure out what to do. Walks out to a remote area and kills himself. This was just so unnecessary from the get go. Chasing internet fame as a 'Van Life' couple and this is what it wrought. Tragic.

Accidentally strangle & throttle your girlfriend? That’s intentional in my opinion. He clearly had anger issues that he couldn’t get under control. From what I read early on, she had her van converted into a travel van. She did the work herself. She was supposedly OCD about keeping the van clean on their travels & he got into it with muddy feet instead of changing into a different pair of sandals. I think that was before the Moab incident.

I tend to agree. Sounds like they both had anger issues. When asked in that police body camera video if he hit her, she said yes, but she hit him first. I'm guessing she set him off again and he just lost it and killed her. It's sad and a real shame for both of them and their families.

This sounds like victim blaming to me. Whatever happened, SHE was the victim. End of. It’s not ‘a shame for both’.

Ummm...no. Nowhere did I say he was justified in killing her. Not sure how you got there. I was speculating on how it came to be that he did so.

I watched a whole bunch of the body-cam footage.

He's fucking scum for killing her. That doesn't mean it isn't sad to see two people who clearly both have severe issues spiral out of control into an ending like this.

She's obviously the victim of disgusting violence, but that doesn't mean the thing as a whole isn't tragic.
