If that were the case then I can’t imagine the external hard drive would be left laying in there.

He made no real attempt to hide the body, no attempt to hide his usage of the debit card, no attempt to hide the van. He might have freaked out over what happened and fled home but I have to wonder if he would be missing right now without his parents influence. He had to have known that LE...

That seems unlikely. Also, they’d have to be able to confirm Brian’s DNA before they could match it to anything in the van or anywhere else.

That’s just a nickname. They are normal cell phones with pre-paid plans. They can be anything from simple flip phones on up to fully capable smartphones.

“Gary Rider, a friend of Gabby’s stepfather Jim Schmidt, said the pair had visited the site on Wednesday and that they had left some flowers next to the other cross. “We did go – the small cross with flowers was made by Jim and myself,” Mr Rider told The Independent. “That larger cross was not...

This is a mistake that still needs corrected. The cross where her body was found was placed by the step-father and a family friend. However the family friend is directly quoted in stating that no one connected with the search and rescue made the larger cross and that they confirmed that.

Yes. I believe they loved each other but it seems increasingly obvious that during arguments they would become physical. We have plenty of reports that both would lay hands on the other. During the traffic stop she admits to punching him and that at one point he grabbed her face to push her...

I think if he really wanted to get away via hitchhiking he could have done it. He was picked up twice in the same day, so that wasn't a problem, and both rides seem to be an attempt to get back to the van, not away from it. Even if that meant ditching the van somewhere around Jackson, he could...

I think maybe the flip-flops are his and he slipped them off when climbing into the van or maybe he left them there and he changed into hiking boots after coming back from dinner? The changing time zones are doing my head in. If he arrived in FL Sept 1 at 10:26AM then what is the absolute...

...perhaps not if he's on the insurance.

Yeah I assume whatever time he spent hitchhiking was mostly aimless wandering out of fear and confusion, maybe even disbelief at what he'd done? I know some think that the conversations he had with the people who picked him up were attempts at building an alibi BUT I can also see it as him...

Zero proof at this point. As far as I know it was only ever mentioned once by those directly involved. Maybe he was there the whole time and they just needed a break from traveling... or maybe they needed a break from each other. We know from her mother that there were apparently increasing...

Do we know anything about who might have come or went from BL's parents house that evening?

Oh certainly that is true but the point is that, even if they loved each other (and I think they did), their relationship already seemed quite antagonistic and volatile. I wouldn't be surprised if this were another blow up and he went too far in the heat of the moment.

No, the more info that comes out the less and less planned it seems. He didn't hide the body, he blatantly used her debit card, and the van was left sitting in BL family's driveway. It's plain from the reports that when they argued they, apparently, frequently put their hands on one another. I...

Although it's a small point, I wish we could put the conflicting information about the first, larger cross to bed. "Gary Rider, a friend of Gabby’s stepfather Jim Schmidt, said the pair had visited the site on Wednesday and that they had left some flowers next to the other cross. “We did go –...

Do we have any more info on the supposed appearance at Kick 66 on August 21? If this is confirmed then the whole trip by BL from Aug 17-23 can't be true.

Yes but after that we had a direct quote from someone who was there with the step father and he indicated that no one associated with the search left it. I think that is better than unnamed sources, imo. Gabby Petito: Stepfather lays flowers at site where YouTuber’s body was found

We don’t have confirmed footage of the specific area of the creek cross do we?

No. The step father created the cross under the trees on Wednesday. The original, larger cross by the creek was already there and the creator is unknown. It was not done by anyone related to the family or search teams.
