She revealed that Garrison had sent alarming texts to several individuals a few hours before his tragic death, including people the Browns used to work with. The content of these texts indicated his emotional state. In one message, he expressed conflicting emotions, saying, “I want to hate you for sharing the good times,” and followed it with, “But I can’t. I miss these days.” Although Janelle was not the recipient of this particular text, she became aware of its contents and the underlying dynamics.
Janelle informed the authorities that she had a brief conversation with Garrison before he stopped responding around 8:40 p.m. This raised her concerns, prompting her to ask Gabe to check on his brother’s well-being.
