Yes, that is confusing to me. I need to read more.Interesting that the FBI believed that the writing that Brian labeled "October 2018" was actually recent at the time that it was found.
He needed to be inpatient for a while...damnI would like to see the rest of this page in entirety.
After Brian writes about wanting to light himself on fire in 2018, having gone into a type of mania where he said he smashes his head, kicking through paintings, etc., from the FBI file link above on page 172, he then went on to write that on Nov 6 (assuming 2018) “we’ve gotta be back in NY but ….. No one’s doing anything but eating in silence and hiding….. because if we decide to stay nothing will change. No wright will be ? … because I am a ghost, a shell, I never had a home or a family.”
Woah.

Brian Laundrie flew cross-country to visit his parents' home in Florida during his trip with Gabby Petito, according to the Laundrie family's lawyer, Steven Bertolini. The attorney said Laundrie flew home on August 17 and returned to Utah on August 23, four days before Petito was last seen.When did BL fly home?
Did he return with "company"? Two male family members perchance?
GP was in a great deal of distress. 3 against 1 applying pressure? Move back, abandon van life?

I wonder if Gabby ever knew about his writings. His parents should have gotten him psychiatric care.He needed to be inpatient for a while...damn
This one is clear…and telling.So many more diary pages but so illegible for us, like they were scanned in black and white, dithered to 8 shades of pixelated grayscale.
Seriously, I'd do it in a flash. Psychiatry is far far from perfect but at least he'd be out of the way of causing harm to himself and others.I wonder if Gabby ever knew about his writings. His parents should have gotten him psychiatric care.

Laundrie flew back to Florida shortly after he and Petito were stopped by police over a domestic dispute and returned to Utah a few days later.www.cbsnews.com
I don't think we really know if BL ever received psychiatric treatment. He did make reference to not wanting to take meds during Moab traffic stop. Of course GP also said she had OCD during that same stop and her family said that wasn't true. So I don't think we know about either person's psychiatric history.I wonder if Gabby ever knew about his writings. His parents should have gotten him psychiatric care.
We still don’t have the answer, I don’t think. It said he flew home to close a storage unit and get supplies to save money. Same thing we read back then. A plane flight would have cost at least $250-500 each way under such last minute circumstances. A storage unit could be emptied and closed by the parents unless he wanted to personally move items out, so it never made sense to me that he flew home to close out a storage unit to save money. Surely they would have done that prior to the big trip? And to fly home to ‘get supplies’ per the article? How much could he fit on a flight back to gabby? To be cost effective? Nothing he couldn’t purchase on their trip I’d think.We wondered why he came back.
I think there's a scary chance he did not return alone, he came back with family (MOO). Mama wanted him to come home, bet pressure was high. GP feeling so responsible for that monster... but not wanting to abandon her dream-- van life, blogging.
The two men.... GP, crying....
Did BL fly back fro. FL? Perhaps family came with, turned around and left... BL stayed with GP.... volatile... violent. Fatal.

Stewart said the Petito family was unaware of these diary entries, but that if Laundrie harbored desires to hurt himself and Gabby back when the notes were written, he did a good job of hiding it.
So the Petito's lawyer describes how BL hid his true desires and intentions well. I can believe that.“We know that he’s a manipulator who hid his intentions,” Stewart said. “It’s interesting seeing all these notes, knowing now how these types of domestic violence situations turn fatal.”
It's a catch 22 when it comes to blaming parents. BL's mental state of mind was spiraling out of control. Had Laundries got him the help for his mental struggles, things would be so different.So the Petito's lawyer describes how BL hid his true desires and intentions well. I can believe that.
I also feel that he hid these things from his parents as well. Hard to blame his parents for not helping him when it's likely they didn't understand his true problems. JMO.
Brian Laundrie’s FBI file reveals his ‘mania’ before killing Gabby Petito, diary of twisted drawings, weaponry
Months before Gabby Petito and her killer Brian Laundrie started dating, he wrote in his diary that he had “mania,” and fantasized about self-immolating and killing himself.nypost.com
Like I said in my post. I can't fault the Laundries for not taking action for something they didn't now about. JMO.It's a catch 22 when it comes to blaming parents. BL's mental state of mind was spiraling out of control. Had Laundries got him the help for his mental struggles, things would be so different.
That bring to mind Crumbleys. James and Jennifer ignored their son’s downward-spiraling mental health and did not take “reasonable care” to prevent foreseeable danger. They were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
I see the Laundries in the same situation...

Unless they did know and were covering for him... we know someone who did exhibit violent writings at age 17, and his mother covered up the fact that he was receiving psychiatric care from his social circle.Like I said in my post. I can't fault the Laundries for not taking action for something they didn't now about. JMO.
It is a matter of opinion but personally I don't see the situations as the same (other than both situations involving parents whose son committed a violent crime.)It's a catch 22 when it comes to blaming parents.
