Can someone please explain to me about BL going back home to FL to pack up things. This forum is moving a mile a minute and I'm getting so confused. Did he actually go back to FL or was he asked by his parents to return to FL?
My understanding is that he, BL, drove the van to his parents' in Florida.
Whether he did so because they asked him to, or of his own volition, I have no idea.
It also seems to be likely that BL and his father unloaded everything from the van in Florida, including some of Gabby's possessions, to be kept in storage in Florida.
Law enforcement in turn seized the van from Florida.
IMO, and happy to accept correction from others.
ETA: As per CBS New York:
"Gabby Petito embarked on her van trip with boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, and was documenting what appeared to be their happy adventure.
He returned to their house in North Port, Florida, as did the van, but without her.
“There has been no contact, so there is no story,” Joseph Petitio said, reiterating when asked by Gusoff that his family has not spoken to Laundrie.
The missing woman’s mother said Monday she last heard from her more than two weeks ago.
“The first couple of days, though I wasn’t getting responses, I believed she was in a place with no service. It was like day eight or nine when I really became concerned,” Nichole Schmidt said.
Police in Florida said the van has been secured for preservation of evidence if any crime was committed and are calling Laundrie a person of interest, as would any missing person’s last known contact."
