Gabe was in the office during the Scranton Strangler police chase (assuming that was the real strangler that got caught).

Gabe doesn’t have the wrist strength the strangle anyone. Also he’s too fat, nobody will like him if he’s too fat.

Gabe goes on to work at Hoolie and then later at The Pied Piper compression start-up. As weird as he is, he never displays any violent or murderous behaviors. I think we can dismiss him as a suspect.
