I don't think I was the only one to realize early on that Brian Laundrie was the 2nd part of a murder-suicide

 I could see it in the air coming even in the first videos of them that they both loved each other but also they didn't have the life skills to both stay alive through their love. It was obvious that it was a mutually a fatal attraction where neither had the life skills to survive this love affair.

I've noticed that young people don't grow up as fast as they used to have to when I was young. Often people now aren't ready for this more mature kind of relationship until they are in their mid 30s.

I think this is because people if they live to be 30 often can expect to live to be 90 years old.

When I was young this wasn't true at all because I watched people die a lot by 35 to 40 years old mostly from overwork, bad diets and smoking and drinking in the 1950s and 1960s. Life expectancies didn't markedly improve until  beginning in the 1970s with exercise and diet a lot.

So, once lifespans increased over 20 years by the 1970s and 1980s, children were infantilized a lot. Another factor was the ending of the draft of boys so they didn't have to think that they would be drafted and killed by age 20 like I had to worry about.

But, luckily because I had almost already died of a concussion and seizures between ages 10 and 15 years of age until my cranium grew and released the pressure on my brain this caused me to get 4F so I didn't get drafted and didn't die in Viet Nam or get PTSD from it like many many others that I knew or knew of.

There are still people my age, 73, who wander the streets and are homeless from PTSD from the Viet Nam War, though less and less every day now.

When I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s people either grew up fast or they died a lot then. This is just what life was like before the 1970s and 1980s. I remember when I saw friends of mine at age 16 with a baby and they told me that they had gotten married and I was 16 too. I congratulated them even though I had a hard time not throwing up from the realization that they were only 16 like me. I had a similar reaction to the videos of Gabby and Brian being questioned by police when I first saw them and realized that neither of them were likely to survive this relationship the way they were acting then in that video.
