Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #21

[Veronica Sawyer]

Yeah I posted while I'm listening to them live. I understand they don't want to accuse anyone of murder but he kept saying we don't know how she died so it is still a missing persons case. Now the investigator is going over the "legal" definition of Person of Interest (which doesn't exist). I may be way over-reacting, I just can't believe the leniency BL has gotten this whole time from EVERYONE (except posters here, obviously).

You are 100% right. It makes no sense to refer to her case in that way. The only thing I can think of is if he has some intel as far as her presumed cause of death upon initial discovery. Like no obvious wounds of infliction to warrant an obvious homicide. But even so, that would only keep Brian’s POI status from being elevated to suspect. It doesn’t change the fact that Gabby is no longer a missing person.

'America's Most Wanted' Host John Walsh Vows to Capture Brian Laundrie

John Walsh, a presenter familiar to millions as the host of America's Most Wanted, is lending his services to the hunt for Gabby Petito's boyfriend, Brian Laundrie.

Laundrie was thought to be staying at his parent's home in North Port, Florida, having previously refused to speak to investigators about his 22-year-old fiancée's disappearance.

"America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh vows to capture Brian Laundrie

Former host of “America’s Most Wanted” John Walsh says he was “terrified” when he first saw police cam footage of Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito. “This is classic domestic abuse. He terrorized her not to tell the cops. He was the aggressor and slapper and puncher.”

I'm guessing BL had a good head start provided by mom and dad. He might be in a country without an extradition treaty. That's not a guarantee he wouldn't be returned, but it's a start.

I think he thought she would be found right away as well. I think that's why the weird hiking/hitchhiking encounter happened. He was trying to create an alibi for when she was found and he was away from the van. When it didnt work out, he thought maybe she wouldnt be found. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Ok so using your logic, they were documenting their entire trip on video and on IG, and this was the perfect time to kill someone obviously because no one knew where they were....er wait....nevermind. Everyone knew where they were. And in his infinite wisdom as this master planner I've been seeing, escape artist, he thought that revealing himself to several people and telling the truth about that he was out there with his GF was a better move that putting her in the van and driving it away? Seems like a LOT more work for a guaranteed bad result doing what he did. Which does not line up with people's impression of him. So something doesn't make sense.

Maybe he's been spotted up a tree in his beloved hammock.

This is such a sad case. A young woman loses her life and what's left of a young man's life is destroyed.
"If you see something say something" may have been able to prevent this from happening.
Friends and family saw this kind of controlling behavior. Unless this type of control is the norm for these families intervention, perhaps, could have saved both.

Recognizing toxic relationships, physical or mental domestic abuse is something only a few professionals are familiar with. Law enforcement is not the firewall.

The resolution begins long before these relationships become a public crisis.
Perhaps we may now see legislation passed to engage and educate the public, and Gabbys death will bring about that change.

Not a statement, only MY opinion.

Rest peacefully, Gabby!

Maybe the FBI advised him it would be better if he remained silent.

I believe temp flight restrictions cover drones as well.

Ugh, watching the aerial footage of where they are searching for BL made my heart sink. If he is there, alive or not, I don't know how they could possibly find him. I have to believe they must have an excellent reason to be searching there.

Maybe something like seeing him driving the car on street or parking cam or something that day as his parents' claimed.

Of course, he could have walked into the reserves, skirted the perimeter, and then walked out at a pre-agreed meeting point where someone picked him up and drove him elsewhere. His sister, maybe?

 

[LavenderLotus]

OK, are we assuming this means they found something and don't want media choppers?

That's what I was thinking. Especially since one accidentally got Gabby when they found her.

 

[zucchinibread]

Maybe he is hanging and they need to get him down but cannot use privacy tents. IMO

According to an earlier post; it infers that DNA is needed to positive ID. If thats the case COD could be difficult in some cases from what i know.

 

[Fleur-de-lis]

What do you think?

I don't think he's in the hiking area.

I don't think he'd ever kill himself.

I think he's hiding elsewhere and I think he has had HELP to do so.

 

[MLaps]

I have a gut feeling that he will be found today. If they haven’t issued a TFR until now, they got something out of someone yesterday. MOO

I can imagine that it's a swarm of news choppers. While they can be helpful, it could also be detrimental. It could be something or it could be nothing. We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[missingno]

Looking at those postcards, I feel like poor Gabby was just trying her best to keep this relationship, which she saw as a dream, together. It feels like she was the only one of them participating in the relationship.

 

[Veronica Sawyer]

So when he hit her in public and squeezed her face hard (as he admitted), he wasn't trying to harm her?

They put their hands on each other.
It was mutual. We see it differently.

I keep going back to the pictures of the area where her body was found. The streams are close by. He could very well have drowned her. They may be shallow but it doesn't take more than a couple of inches of water to drown someone that is unable to resist.

Such a beautiful location and my heart can't stand the thought of someone doing that in that way. It's so opposite of the human spirit. I hope she didn't suffer looking up at the person killing or hurting her. I know it seems like wishful thinking on my part.

[Red_herring_528]

My stomach has been in knots about this case since September 11th, I can not imagine the pain that this family is experiencing

 

[justaparent]

I really can't get my head around what he was doing out there near where her body was found.

I'm reading a lot of things on these threads from people thinking he's some master planner, strategically trying to throw people off his scent by creating fake alibies, hitchhiking multiple times, driving 2400 miles in 36 hours, lawyering up immediately without saying a word to anyone, slipping out in the dead of night to leave his house, and evading capture with all of 2021's technology looking for him....so here's something to consider:

Why did he leave her body out in the open, uncovered, 100% would have been found within a short period of time, when he had a literal body transport vehicle they were living in? If he really was as smart as you people think he would have put the body in the van, drove it somewhere that they WERE NOT, in a different state, and left it there, pushed it into a body of water, something. A "sociopath" wouldn't mind a few hours of driving around with a body in a van right, for self preservation? To me it looks like he put ZERO effort into covering up what he supposedly did.

So how do you reconcile his genius master plan with leaving her body there? Makes no sense. Something happened to her, but I honestly do not think he purposefully hurt her. Something does not add up. Get out your pitchforks again, I know, have at it.

I sure don’t have answers about the reasons why he did what he did. But Gabby wasn’t under the FBI tent that was out in the open. Helicopter crews reporting right after she was found said she was among trees and other vegetation not far from where they erected the tent. She was more hidden.

She still could have been seen by a hiker but I think he believed she was far enough off of the road to remain out of sight. He perhaps didn’t think about what could have happened to her afterwards with the wildlife in the area. He doesn’t seem terribly savvy or realistic so that doesn’t surprise me.
