Part 4/6:
In a haunting series of events, Gabby sent a Snapchat from a restaurant in Jackson, Wyoming, to Jackson on August 27, expressing that the location reminded her of him. This message punctuated their last communication—Gabby reached out via a call just a few hours later, but Jackson was unable to answer. This would be the last time he heard from her alive.
Further complicating the timeline were Gabby's unanswered texts to her mother, Nicole. One notably strange message sent from Gabby’s phone on August 30 referred to Nicole’s father by his formal name rather than the more familiar “Grandpa.” Such anomalies raised red flags for Nicole, hinting that something may have been amiss during the days leading up to Gabby's disappearance.
