Nomadic Statik is the name of Gabby's YouTube channel, which she set up with her boyfriend to document the cross-country road trip.

The first and only video on the channel has been viewed more than 6.1 million times, with nearly 39,000 comments.

Indeed, they appeared to be having an amazing time in the videos and pictures they posted on Instagram and YouTube just weeks ago.

Gabby’s family now believe all was not what it seemed and Laundrie was suspected of strangling her to death. 

Now he has been edited out of a three-minute clip that strings together footage from her social media. 

Reacting to this, one Reddit user said: “it was all a mirage and an illusion. Why is our society motivating young people to feel they must manufacture such fairy tale imagery in order to be validated by strangers? 

“With all of Gabby's passion and talents, that she became convinced to spend them in this way is a commentary on the overwhelming influence that social media projects onto young people's world view.”

Barely a month into their adventure of a lifetime, the couple were pulled over in Utah following a 911 call about a domestic dispute.

In bodycam footage, Gabby seemed upset. 

Yet after questioning the couple, they decided to split them up for a night.
