Starting point is 00:00:00 Sometimes there are cases that are so evil and twisted, ones that don't make sense to those of us who are compassionate, loving people with a conscience. But there are monsters walking among us that seem to lack even the slightest bit of humanity. This is one of those stories. It'll leave you asking why and questioning whether you can truly know anyone, because some humans have truly evil minds. Hi, everyone.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Welcome back to my channel and if you've never been here before, I'm Kimberlea. It's nice to finally meet you. In today's case, we're going to be taking a look behind the curtain at one of those people. His name is Gable Tosty and what he was involved in may or may not be familiar to you. The victim wearing a right and her terrifying last day on this earth may have stuck with you if you caught it in the media. she plummeted to her death from the balcony of a 14th floor apartment in Australia. And the owner of that apartment that she fell from was Gable Tosty. They met on Tinder just hours before her death. And it's been 10 years since that night in 2014.
Starting point is 00:01:14 But even now, the details surrounding this case remain a topic of intrigue and contention. There has been a lot of debate about the outcome of the trial, but much less about the person Gable is and was before that fatal date night. Our deep dive today will not only recap the events of that fateful night, but also examine the dynamics that shaped Gable's childhood and his early adult years before the incident. We'll look into his habits, his extensive online presence, the way he interacted with women,
Starting point is 00:01:47 and the significant yet often overlooked details that paint a fuller picture of his character and the evil, the lies within. Let me start out by telling you about Gable Tosti's background. He was born in 1986 on the Gold Coast of Australia. He's the oldest son of Gray and Helene Tosti, and he was named after Clark Gable from Gone with the Wind. And I just want to say, in case I mispronounce anything,
Starting point is 00:02:13 be gentle with me. I'm 36 weeks pregnant right now. I've got pregnancy brain. Tired. So please forgive me. And also just correct me nicely in the conversation. comments. I'm always here to learn. From the start, Gable's life was one of privilege and opportunity. He was raised in a gated community on the Gold Coast in the canal regions where most houses have
Starting point is 00:02:35 access to things like a private jetty with expensive boats and watercraft. He was educated at a prestigious private school that cost about $15,000 a year, and he participated in things like golf and table tennis tournaments. During his school years, Gable was regarded as friendly, but he was also known as quiet and introverted. He didn't really have a close circle of good friends, but he wasn't exactly alone or either. He was more like one of those people who just kind of floated through school
Starting point is 00:03:02 without anyone really noticing them, that is, until they had a reason to look back and remember them. When Gable finished school, his dad gave him a job at his successful carpet laying company. Good old-fashioned nepotism. He'd want for nothing and was given whatever his heart desires. It was around the same time that Gable began posting about his life online, and he would boast that he was getting paid $70 an hour, Australian dollars, and working just about 20 to maybe 30 hours a week. It's one of those scenarios where most of us would have to hold back from thinking or even saying, it must be nice.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And it is nice. His parents worked hard. And if they wanted to spoil him or set him up for success, is it such a bad thing? Maybe not. But what I've always been taught, it's what you do with what you've been given that matters. And Gapel was definitely doing the paramenum, and he was the type that bragged and held himself in a much higher regard, just reveling in the good life without having to do much. And it was really good money for a teenager, but clearly not enough for someone like him. Because when Gable was only 17, he decided to become an entrepreneur. It sounds good, but not a legal one.
Starting point is 00:04:19 He set up a forgery scam where he was selling fake IDs to underage teens who wanted to join in on what's called Schoolies Week. Now, you may not be familiar with this if you're here in the U.S., but this is an annual celebration in Australia where high school graduates are referred to as schoolies, and they participate in various events and activities to kind of highlight the end of their high school education. It's a week-long event that typically occurs in late November or so, and it's really popular in the coastal beach areas, particularly the Gold Coast, for a whole week. Pubs and clubs and all these groups of teenagers will have these large gatherings, parties, and community events. It is seen as a right of passage for many young Australians to celebrate their transition into adulthood. But given that the drinking age in Australia is 18, it also coincides with many.
Starting point is 00:05:15 kids being able to legally drink. But schoolies has been criticized for a very long time for its excessive party atmosphere, which of course can lead to risky behaviors, including things like binge drinking, using drugs, and even acts of violence. But interestingly, that seems to be exactly what appeals to those who attend. They're 18. They're away from their parents and they're ready to party. But for those kids who haven't quite turned 18 yet and don't want to miss out on the fun, that's where Gable came in. He recruited a school friend and they set up this scheme where if you gave him $60 and a passport photo, he would give you a passable fake ID. Gable would even provide a guarantee that if the
Starting point is 00:06:01 ID didn't work or if it was confiscated by a security guard or a Bouncer at a club, he would replace it for free and it seems like quite a deal. Over the course of a year, Gable and his friends were said to have raked in more than $30,000. Although there are some reports that said he was closer to maybe $10,000. But after this, after the first season, Gable apparently got bored with this endeavor, and he decided he didn't want to do it anymore. So he sold his share of the business to his friend
Starting point is 00:06:33 and another associate for just 300 each. And you know that Gable didn't need the money. But just a few months later, the Australian federal police became aware of the scam. They raided Gable and his former business partner's homes, and they found clear evidence that Gable was the mastermind behind the entire scam. But the raid uncovered something much more concerning. On Gable's computer was a reproduction of an Australia $50 note. And it was considered to be almost identical to the real thing. One of the best reproductions the agents on the
Starting point is 00:07:07 case had ever seen. And when you have the means, you can get your hands on the technology, and access to ways of creating things like this. And Gable was afforded that access. He was charged with forgery, but it took two years before the matter even made it to court. In the meanwhile, he was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. This was to establish if maybe he had some kind of condition that might have played a part in his crime.
Starting point is 00:07:33 The doctor who examined him found, and this was interesting to me, and I didn't quite understand it, but that Gable was partially disabled. Those were the psychiatrist indications, saying that he had, quote, severe, unrelieved, obsessive, compulsive disorder, end quote. That's what it was called. And he was an emotionally estranged person with whom it was impossible to establish clear-cut rapport. Interesting report. I want to point out that I do feel for anyone that's dealing with mental health concerns, and I don't believe we should be stigmatized for them.
Starting point is 00:08:07 or that those individuals should be put into a certain category. Because again, I believe it's how you deal with what you're going through, whether they ask and get the help they need. But mental health is also not an excuse for choosing bad behaviors either. There were also some reports that said that he might have been on the autism spectrum. When the case eventually made it to the courts, Gable and his co-accus pleaded guilty to the charges of forgery, possessing counterfeit instruments and making counterfeit money,
Starting point is 00:08:36 and they were sentenced to probation and 200 hours of community service. Because of this ruling, no conviction was recorded against their records, though. And the judge commented that Gable should probably try to focus his intellectual talent, if that's what he wanted to call it, on more constructive endeavors. And I agree. And it was said that because of maybe some of his autism and other developmental conditions found in this medical report, the judge also stated that he was at, a huge disadvantage in the normal social world. So keep that in mind. By the time Gable
Starting point is 00:09:12 was a lot off the hook for fraud, he was 20 years old. The people he knew from high school had moved on with their lives. They were in college, in their careers, they had relationships, while Gable was still living with his parents and working for his dad. The only network he did seem to have was on an online bodybuilding forum where he posted all the time. And these These weren't real friends, of course not. They were just random strangers on the internet who only got a glimpse into who Gable really was from what he decided to post.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Gable had been a member of the forum since back in 2004. That was a year before his fake ID business was up and running. In his profile, he went by the username G.T., which are his initials, and he described himself as an Australian, 6'2-198 pounds. When he first joined, he would post about workout routines and ask for advice on how to eat to gain muscle or to slim down. But in January of 2010, the tone of his post changed dramatically when he wrote a long post asking for advice on how to make friends. And you know what? I feel for him here.
Starting point is 00:10:23 It's hard for me to make friends because I'm lonely doing this job where I sit and talk into a camera all day. And when I'm not filming, I'm spending hours researching and writing and looking into it. a computer screen. So it doesn't give me much opportunities to meet people unless they make them online, which there's nothing wrong with that in and of itself. But let me tell you what Gable posted. It went something like this, he said, quote, I'm in a bit of a situation. About five years ago, some shit went down. I won't get into it. And I had to cut off contact with literally all of my friends and basically disappear. Many of them were involved. Said shit that happened has sort of blown over now. But I never really reestablished contact with anyone I used to know until the other
Starting point is 00:11:09 week when I bumped into an old best mate at a restaurant. When I asked him what other friends were up to, I realized how much I missed out on socially over the last half of a decade, end quote. Gable wrote about how he worked for his dad as a carpet layer, so he didn't have any colleagues. He didn't go to university and he never played something like a sport. And he even referred to himself as a several times. And then he asked for feedback from the other users about how he could maybe start making new friends or reconnecting with people he knew back from school. The unusual topic of this post definitely attracted plenty of comments. Gable replied to every single one. He thanked the other users for their advice and asked more questions about how to do what they suggested. He wrote,
Starting point is 00:11:58 quote, it's difficult to make actual friends without knowing people already, since I eventually have to reveal the fact that I'm a hermit." The day after his original post, Gable updated it to say that he had just set up a Facebook profile for the very first time. He stated that he had sent friend requests to everyone he could think of, and he asked people in the forum
Starting point is 00:12:19 how long they thought it would take for people to respond. And he wrote, quote, this is pretty daunting. I feel as though I've been pushed aside or can't relate. Even sort of with my old best mates, end quote. A few days. Later, he came back again to the forum,
Starting point is 00:12:36 and he said that he'd been spending more time with that friend from back in high school that he'd recently reconnected with. He went on to share, they went out together, and they tried to pick up some women, which was something that Gable had never done before because, well, he had social awkwardness. And this is where Gable's tone in this forum changes
Starting point is 00:12:58 from trying to make friends and get out more, to be completely laser focused on merely sleeping with women. I'm not sure if this friend of his was the reasons that his goals shifted, or if it was the fact that he'd never experienced certain things when it came to the opposite sex. But what followed were several posts from Gable asking for advice on how to guarantee that any woman he wanted would sleep with him. That's much different than asking about how to make him. friends, but you have to remember, this is a bodybuilding forum. I've been in many of them before.
Starting point is 00:13:36 It's usually male dominated and they tend to talk about women. And it's really not that uncommon for men to want to find women to have a good time with. So he posted about a woman who gave her number to him and he said, quote, she seemed pretty into me. She wanted to meet again, hugged her goodbye outside and said I'd call her. She was on holiday and leaving today. I called earlier, but it was an answering machine, so I texted her and I didn't get a reply. Should I call her again? Perhaps off a private number, end quote. Now, he really does seem pretty clueless, but also like he's trying to almost use tactics, like asking, should I disguise my number? And the users told him that if this woman wanted him, she would call. And then Gable replied,
Starting point is 00:14:28 quote, do you think it's possible to close the deal in the same night with any girl if you're good enough? End quote. And when I was reading these posts, I thought, wow, he sounds like a guy that's just reached puberty and is laughing with his friends about girls and want to engage in maybe his first kiss. And you know what? That wasn't that far off. He was just older at the time. So that's why I think to me it might come off a bit shallow and fake. But a week later, he posted, again, there's going to be a lot of these little posts in here that I share with you.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And he said, quote, on Friday, I met this chick who was here on holiday, started talking to her at the bar, we'd dance, kissed, and kept in mind at this point to be more aggressive. I can't remember exactly what I said, but I was much more direct, ended up rooting her in the back of my car, then taking her back to my place to root her in bed, end quote. Now, I didn't know what rooting meant, but of course, I took a wild guess it's slang for intercourse. So he apparently, according to him, achieved his goal. He slept with someone. After that night, he posted all the time very frequently about the women he tried and failed to sleep with. Sometimes he rated their looks on a scale from one to ten. Classy.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Other times he asked whether it was in. ethical to keep buying a girl drinks to make her sleep with him. What do you think about that? I'm, of course, definitely interested in your thoughts. In the three weeks since he posted about rooting the girl in the back of his car, he hadn't been able to convince anyone else to have sets with him. That's what he posted about. He said, quote, is it normal to get screwed around like this? In my mind, I just want to get the second one down so that I'll know it wasn't just a fluke." So he's wondering, was that just a one-time thing? Did I just get lucky? Or can I do it again? Another month passed with several more similar posts. By February, his post came across as honestly
Starting point is 00:16:36 increasingly desperate, and people could tell. He shared that he'd gone up to at least 20 girls in one night, but all of them have rejected him except for one that did end up giving her phone number to him. But then she never replied to any of his messages. These posts, Post give us a very unique insight into the mind of a person who's becoming increasingly hostile towards women and impatient when it comes to not getting what he wants. Did you detect the change in tone from his earlier post? Remember, in those he was questioning his own self-worth and how maybe he could be more attractive towards women, Gable's post reflected a typical concern for social acceptance.
Starting point is 00:17:15 We want to be accepted and even self-improvement, which is common, especially in a online form like this. However, as time progressed, he continued to be rejected, and then there's more of this emphasis on asserting dominance and control in his interactions. He began blaming external factors, particularly the women for his frustrations and his failures. And that's kind of scary. No one has to do anything that they don't want to. And giving them free drinks all night long doesn't equal consent if they're too intoxicated to understand what they're doing. and what they're agreeing to.
Starting point is 00:17:53 When Gable's aggressive approach didn't seem to make a difference, he decided to try a different one. Rather than just trying to sleep with them, he would give the women what he kind of referred to as the boyfriend experience. Except Gable didn't know anything about having a girlfriend because he had never had one. But it's clear from his next few posts that he was feeling conflicted between just sleeping with someone
Starting point is 00:18:17 or maybe seeking more of a human connection, which he had been missing from. from his life for so long. So I thought maybe this was him reevaluating his more, I guess I could call it skanky approach, or was he just trying to use another tactic? Well, this is what his next post said, quote. One of them had a boyfriend, she was dancing,
Starting point is 00:18:38 grinding with me and initially refused to kiss me, although I could tell she wanted to. But with a bit of work, I finally got a kiss and her number. I realized something that never even occurred to me, but all the girls I've met and gotten to know over the past few weeks, I've actually cared about. I'm still in touch with a girl I've banged before, even though now she's overseas. Regardless of whether I get laid, I'm still going to really miss this girl, and I don't really know what to think.
Starting point is 00:19:06 In any case, I don't believe in monogamous relationships, but I never thought I would give a damn about any of these girls until I realized that I may never see one of them again. None of this will stop me from trying to meet new girls, end quote. Interesting post, but talking about the girl that he knew had a boyfriend sounds like a conquest to me. When he says he actually cared about these women, I can't help but think that he's unable to understand what caring really is. He seems to care about one thing, himself and his own pleasure. At this point, Gable could have gone one of two ways, attempt to make meaningful connections with people or double down on the aggressive and dominating approach. And he chose the second option.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Of course he did. It's easier. It took a couple more weeks for Gable to discover a new technique, which was apparently much more successful for him. He would approach a girl that had a friend and he would say, I think your friend is checking me out.
Starting point is 00:20:10 That's so cheesy. I'm sad for these poor women who fell for that kind of pickup line. But most of the time, the friend would at the very least take him over to her friend, the girl that supposedly was checking him out, which seemed to at least break the ice more effectively. And then Gable was just off and running with all of his other tactics. Night after night, he would refine his approach. And after a few weeks, he came back to the forum to post about
Starting point is 00:20:36 his successes or his failures. He then started adding pictures and ratings of the girls on a scale from one to ten. But this time, it wasn't just their looks that he was assessing. It was how they were in bed. Yes. One girl was given an eight and another was given a 5.5 and he called that girl a huge mistake and wrote that he should have spent more time
Starting point is 00:21:02 on someone hotter instead. It comes off so shallow. But I'm not surprised there are people out there that are thinking this way. I mean, to each their own, it's just such a one-way street because if a woman was talking like this, surely she would be referred
Starting point is 00:21:18 to as a whore, slut, et cetera. But it does seem more acceptable for a man to speak this way. People will refer to it as like sewing their oats or even make excuses, and don't get me wrong, it's a choice for women or a man. But he goes on to say, quote, anyway, that's the fifth root for this year and the fourth within a week.
Starting point is 00:21:41 My mates are amazed and actually asking me for tips, who would have thought, end quote. And over the next few months, users began asking Gable to give them advice so they could follow in his footsteps. In another example of one of his conquests, he posted this. Quote, I saw this hot, smallish girl, eight out of ten, with an amazing body, dancing on her own, surrounded by like five guys. All I did was give her a glance and then a come here gesture with my hand, and I was in. She was great in bed."
Starting point is 00:22:15 end quote. By the end of 2010, Gable boasted that he had slept with 50 girls that year. He posted to users on the forum that they could ask him anything about his experiences, and he would answer honestly. He was asked, how do you keep track of all these women? And he responded that he kept a log of names with each of the girls' rating. And then he continued with tips on how to make yourself look good and make sure that the man initiates the contact. He said, don't wait for the women to come to you. When a user asked what his goal was for the following year, he said he didn't really have a goal.
Starting point is 00:22:53 He just wanted to prove to himself that he could do this after he had only slept with one girl until he was 23 years old. His plan was just to keep having fun. He continued in March the same way through 2011, except now he lived in a brand new apartment that his parents got for him. It was right off the main strip at Sturban, Surfers Paradise. It was the perfect spot to be able to enjoy his hobby of picking up women to sleep with on a nightly basis and enjoy he was. Gable would go out every night and then go on the forum the next day and talk about his most recent sexual experiences. Sometimes he would share about how he had no memory of who he slept with because he was drinking so much. He would wake up to find used condoms in his room or a pair of. of girls underwear with no recollection of who they belong to. Outside of drinking, working and partying,
Starting point is 00:23:51 Gable wrote that he spent his time watching Jersey Shore and nip tuck to get ideas on how to talk to women. Wow, those are great references. At this point, he was still working on his father's carpet laying business, but his online profile changed. It stated that he was a property developer an investor. That's interesting. Maybe he wanted to make himself look better to all of his bodybuilding online friends, like he wasn't just mooching off of his parents and using their money to sleep with as many girls as possible. But in mid-2012, Gable posted that he achieved a new milestone in his sexual conquests. 100 women. Bravo! Except this time, he didn't seem so upbeat about this realization and that was interesting. He said, quote, ask a guy who just reached 100 girls slept with
Starting point is 00:24:47 and is kind of depressed anything go. End quote. So he's asking, you know, ask me anything, but I'm depressed even though I achieved this milestone. But I wonder what he thought was going to happen for him. Many of us know that sleeping with someone is usually pretty meaningless without a connection. But in reply to some of these comments on the post, he stated that he'd never been in a relationship, and he had a reason for that. He posted this, quote, anyone else have this thing where they get bored of sleeping with one single girl, no matter how hot she is, or how much I have feelings with her, nothing satisfies me more than hitting something new. It's like watching a movie. No matter how good it is, I'd rather watch one I haven't
Starting point is 00:25:34 seen than the same one over and over, end quote. And that's a little sad, but I can imagine there are a lot of people who feel that way, and it may have a lot to do with his parents, always giving him whatever he wanted and not having to work for it. You don't have the same sense of pride or care for things that are just handed to you without much effort. He doesn't seem to know how to be content. But maybe he just needs to explore more. I don't know. He wanted to keep hooking up with more women, but he also seemed to want to change how he felt about himself. He wrote, quote, this is one of the things that gets me down. I imagine. myself being different, but I'm not really sure I am.
Starting point is 00:26:14 I've always had very low self-esteem. One of the main reasons I try to sleep with different girls as often as possible is to improve my own confidence." End quote. In that same post, he provided more insight into the level of record keeping that he was maintaining. It wasn't just a diary with a list of names anymore.
Starting point is 00:26:34 It had evolved. It was now videos and voice recordings too. So now it moved to an even more permanent method of record keeping, and he went on to say, quote, I'm somewhat obsessed with recording everything. I have motion detection cameras in my home. I have call recordings on my phone, and sometimes I even leave my phone on record
Starting point is 00:26:54 in my pocket for nights out in case I forget what happens, end quote. It's important to note that nowhere have I found any evidence to indicate that Gable told these women that he was sleeping with that they were being recorded, either on video or voice recording. And that is a huge invasion of privacy. During the two years, Gable had been posting on the bodybuilding forum, he'd never shown his face before. But after his post about allegedly sleeping with 100 women,
Starting point is 00:27:23 I think people wanted to see what he looked like. So he finally uploaded a photo, and he even asked the users to rate his appearance. He posted a selfie in a low-necked white t-shirt. His hair is kind of swept across his forehead, and I'm posting it here for those watching and not just listening. And objectively speaking,
Starting point is 00:27:42 he's what I would refer to as a typical clean cut style guy. Nothing too special about him, but overall, I think he would be the type of guy that a majority of women would find outwardly attractive. But if there's no personality to match, he's pretty basic. He asked, so I'm giving my two cents as well. But the users on the site were way harsher than I was. They rated him a four out of 10,
Starting point is 00:28:10 and someone even told him that he looked cross-eyed. Gable didn't really seem to mind the negative feedback. He didn't take it too seriously, because after all, in his mind, he's living the life that many of these guys dreamed of, a nice place to live paid by mommy and daddy, and one of the best nightlife and holiday spots in Australia, going out every night, bringing home a different woman.
Starting point is 00:28:33 In Gable's mind, he truly was living the dream. But what he didn't share on this first was that his nightly prowling wasn't going down as well for the locals as it was for his online admirers. Gable had actually developed a reputation and many of the bars around his apartment and not in a good way. There had been complaints from countless female patrons that Gable would approach them, and even when they turned him down, he would continue to harass them and bother him. He became known as a serial pest, and he was barred for him. and he was barred from several establishments.
Starting point is 00:29:10 The owner of one nightclub even commented that he was creepy, explaining that Gable had been there all the time and everyone knew who he was, and even after he was banned, he would come on nights when a different bouncer that didn't know him was there and he would try to get back in. And Gable's bad behavior wasn't contained behind closed doors. He had also been spoken to by police for public intoxication. And in one incident, he managed to talk his way out of a fine.
Starting point is 00:29:36 But later, he went for a drive with two girls and he was pulled over by the police. They did a breathalyzer test and they found that he was over the legal drinking limit. A few weeks after this, he was issued a citation for a public nuisance and given a fine of $1,000 because he gave the middle finger to a police officer. And in another incident, he held a tuck-tuck, and this is like a little golf cart-looking mode of public transportation, but he ran off without paying after his ride. The driver notified the police who found gave him. inside of a convenience store, and when they asked him to step outside and answer some questions,
Starting point is 00:30:11 he told them to F off. The officers did manage to get Gable into the back of a police car, but they couldn't even close the door because he was kicking with his legs. When they tried to remove him and then reposition him in the vehicle, he kicked the officers. So in the end, they had to resort to pepper spraying him, and they charged him with public nuisance and obstructing police. The incident signaled an increasingly reckless side. to Gable's behavior. But even with the fines, he was still going out every night and drinking.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Except his nightly escapades now carried a heightened sense of unpredictability, and that is scary. And his volatile behavior was only going to get worse with the innovation of good old Tinder. At first, Gable was a bit tentative about this new dating app. He posted to the forum asking if this whole thing was even real, and if anyone had actually met any girls through it.
Starting point is 00:31:04 But it didn't take much to convince him to get give this new technology a try, and before long, it was his preferred method of finding women to hook up with. He now had access to plenty of women who were looking to hook up while they were on holiday in the town, all from the comfort of his own apartment. And because he was banned from many of his favorite hunting grounds, it couldn't have come at a better time for him. Just like during his clubbing days, Gable would post about his new experiences in the forum. When other users began posting screenshots of their Tinder conversations and seeking ratings on how successful they were, Gable joined in on the fun and posted many screenshots of his own.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I have seen plenty. But it didn't take long for Gable to become frustrated with Tinder because it turns out he wasn't having as much luck as he thought he would. He'd envisioned that this app would give him easy access to women who would just throw themselves at him. But remember, he's kind of a dime a dozen, not going to lie. I mean, think about it, there's so many people out there. And so instead, he found himself struggling
Starting point is 00:32:07 to convince women to take their connections off the app into real life. Yeah, like I said, based on looks alone, he's probably not gonna have that much luck unless he can back it up with some substance. And from what I've gathered, he was lacking. In September 2013, he was frustrated. He posted saying this, quote, effed about eight chicks off this app last month,
Starting point is 00:32:29 but just had a big fail streak over the weekend. met up with four different chicks, three who came over to my apartment for drinks, but were totally frigid. I'm sick of time and money-wasting bids. Every girl has Tinder now, and none of them are DTF anymore." End quote. I think you know what DTF is? Down to F? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I feel like he's a shark in blood-infested water just looking for his next kill. It's kind of creepy. And sure, there are definitely women who are looking to just hook up, But let's be real, a lot of women do want to find a real connection. And it wasn't happening for Gable, so the post kept coming. There was one that said, quote, met another chick from Tinder tonight who drove 45 minutes to stay in my place and have drinks. We started kissing for several minutes, and then I go to unzip her dress.
Starting point is 00:33:20 And she pulls the whole, oh, I'm not going to do this. So I brush it off, as per usual, and keep trying to hook up. But she's 100% serious. Says she should love. leave and then gets up and goes." And quote, yeah, Gable, that's her right. It's her body. And I know some may say, well, she was on Tinder. She decided to go out with him.
Starting point is 00:33:44 She decided to go to his place. She did this. She did that. But ultimately, we have the right to say no when we're not comfortable when things get past our boundaries. And Gable doesn't like to be told no. There was another post that had a similar tone, he wrote, quote, this is bullshit. I had a girl from Tinder stay in my place Wednesday night. I was running my hands over her body, but she was totally unresponsive, yet for some reason,
Starting point is 00:34:12 she was perfectly okay to stay in my bed for the night, end quote. Then he literally described how he put her hand on his private area, and she pulled it away. In February 2014, he posted a match who left him in the chat without sleeping with him. She accused him of all. He accused him of only wanting one thing, to which he, of course, tried to say that's not it. And he replied, no, I like you. I think you're cool. I want to see you again. Believe me. But she ignored this message, as well as three more that he sent her. The final message she sent him read, quote, the only thing I'm faulting you for is repeatedly grabbing at my vagina and putting my hand on your cock after I said, I'm not like that, end quote. And to be fair, a woman can be
Starting point is 00:34:59 conned. Anyone can be conned, but a woman can be conned into thinking, hey, this seems like a cool, nice guy. Let me go on a date with him, get to know him, and boom. He pulls the things that Gable has, and it's a huge turnoff. Gable expected every woman who went out with him to sleep with him. There wasn't any other goal in his mind. There was no truly getting to know any of these women, and we know that from having this behind the scenes look at his goals as he's posting them in the He would even make remarks in the forum that a girl shouldn't come over to his house if she didn't want to have sex with him. But now, people on the bodybuilding site were actually disagreeing with him. They said that he's coming across desperate, insecure, and forceful.
Starting point is 00:35:44 One person wrote, quote, you complain that all women are whores. You complain even more when walking into your bedroom isn't a contract for sex, end quote. The criticism from his online community didn't put Gable off, though. He was on Tinder all day, every day, seeking one thing but selling another, like I said, essentially conning these women. He would tell them what he thought they wanted to hear now, that he was a solid guy looking for a relationship. But when they got back to his apartment, all he tried to do is sleep with them. And then once he got what he wanted, or in the case where they didn't put out, he would just send them on their way and that was it. He never truly cared about seeing them again.
Starting point is 00:36:24 He was on to the next. It's like he had this insatiable appetite. If anything, Tinder made Gable feel more emboldened than ever before, and the risky edge to his behavior continued to escalate. He was relentless in his search to find women to sleep with him. He interacted with more than 250 women in less than a year on Tinder, and many of them were at the same time. Gable's drive to sleep with as many women as possible
Starting point is 00:36:50 coincided with his propensity for drinking. He often drank to the point of blocking out. and would tell the online community that it actually eased his social anxiety. And there's a reason why people call alcohol liquid courage. But in the end, it's just a mask or a band-aid. It doesn't truly help you be less socially awkward. You just don't notice it because you're under the influence. But his escalating drinking habits and pursuit of fleeting sexual encounters
Starting point is 00:37:17 led Gable to develop a superficial network of acquaintances that were all centered around the nightlife and partying. These connections offered him a sense of blood. longing, but they lacked that genuine emotional depth that he once claimed he really wanted. It was within this context that he found himself more involved with friends who shared his taste for late nights out and heavy drinking, all of which culminated in a concerning and reckless incident on July 27th in 2014. That afternoon, Gable met up with two of his party guy friends at what's called Splendor in the Grass. It's a music festival, which is held
Starting point is 00:37:55 in the picturesque Byron Bay. This festival is like Australia's Coachella. When the stages shut down in the early morning hours, Gable went to sleep off the alcohol in his father's car, which he drove to the event. He was then woken up by his drunk friends. They were knocking and banging on all of his windows. They convinced him to drive back to Surfer's Paradise
Starting point is 00:38:15 so that they could get into the clubs before this 3 a.m. lockout. In many parts of Australia, the bars close our doors at 3 a.m. and anyone who's already inside the bar can stay until they officially close, but anyone that's outside can't enter the venue after the lockout. So now the pressure was on for this group to get back to the city as quickly as possible, or their night would officially be over, and none of them wanted that.
Starting point is 00:38:41 So Gable was speeding, and he was clocked at going about 93 miles an hour along the Pacific Highway. Police officers attempted to pull him over, but instead of stopping, he increased, his speed to over a hundred and twenty-one miles an hour in attempt to evade them. Wow, that is insanely fast. Even as police were chasing him, he didn't slow down. They had to put road spikes out on the highway. And even despite these spikes ripping Gables' tires to shreds, this man continued to drive until the vehicle's metal rims lost traction with the road and sparks were flying from the metal. When the vehicle eventually came to a stop, again, a breathalyzer found that Gable had a blood alcohol level four times the legal drinking limit.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Gable was then arrested in charge with drunk driving. Despite facing serious charges, Gable was released on bail and he immediately jumped right back on Tinder. There wasn't a minute to waste in his mind. On the 1st of August 2014, he swiped right on a profile of a pretty girl named Maureenah Wright. Now it's time I focus on Rorina and rightfully so, because with that would happen to her, Gable's name would probably have remained unknown.
