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

The search for Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito's fiancé, resumes today in the Carlton Reserve. Here's why it's been so hard to find him

Laundrie had a multiple-day head start

Laundrie's family told police Friday night they have not seen the 23-year-old since Tuesday. His family told police he left home with his backpack and told them he was going to the Carlton Reserve.

Police in North Port, Florida, tweeted Saturday that authorities were searching the reserve, an effort that included the use of drones and bloodhounds who had used articles of Laundrie's clothing taken from his home to get his scent, said police spokesperson Josh Taylor.

In a place like a nature reserve, foliage and the lack of sunlight affects visibility, according to Chris Boyer, executive director of the non-profit National Association for Search and Rescue(NASAR). The night can also hamper efforts, especially if the person being sought has no source of light or fire.

The odd text message that was said “can you help Stan?”

Could have potentially been her saying “Send The Authorities Now”.

Just speculating of course.

I know Eminem is before her time but his song, Stan, ugh....but I think her mom knows best.

If LE had found blood in the van I think they would have obtained a search warrant for the home right away.

Correct. The warrant came after GP's remains were discovered.

I’m not sure why the vans hard drive is a big deal now, since Gabby has been found. Is it just to build a case against Brian at this point?

And it's off to the left a bit. Almost as if it got knocked off and someone tried to re-attach it?

It was stated a few threads back that under the logo is where you would use the key to open the hood. So my guess is someone opened it and just didn't align the logo properly when done.

it’s not the van’s hard drive, it’s an external hard drive that they presumably had unshared photo and video content on.

So, if he is in that reserve he has been there for 5-6 days now. What are the chances that he is alive?

I’m keen to know what the key piece of evidence it is they’ve found.

Like for instance if it is the Apple Watch, possibly left on her wrist when her body was found or could it have been in his home when they raided with papers to do the search warrant.

Apple Watches track:
Heart rate - with or without workout
Pace
Distance travelled
Blood and oxygen levels
Time asleep
Time standing
Blood pressure

It also warns of abnormal heart rate/oxygen levels , detects hard falls.

If they did find her watch it would reveal so much.

The warrant for her external hard drive was filed before she was found.

Aww ok the news made it sound like it was the vans hard drive.

 

[floridamomma]

That county is actually more east. It is on the Florida - Georgia line, not too far from Jacksonville.

Hey neighbor! But how long would it take him to walk? A week?! I don't think it's him but...

 

[zucchinibread]

Aww ok the news made it sound like it was the vans hard drive.

yes, it was located INSIDE of the van when they took it in so I can see how the language surrounding this item can get blundered in the media.

The hard drive is extremely important because it has all of their photos, dialogue and other data from the entire trip that can build a case against BL as to his mindset during the trip, actions and down to the minute activities they both did up to her death.

 

[Defendress]

Neighbor puts him there, they have his plate, they'll have video too.

Do we know if the BL sighting by neighbors was when he supposedly flew to Florida in August or was it after September 1st?

One of the reporters posted the documents with request to search the external hard drive, etc.

Edit: uploaded the wrong photo; here is shot with phone number redacted.

Yeah it's so weird. She met her friend Rose off Bumble who is the one who claimed Brian was controlling. I just question who else was she talking to on such a dating app and why Brian would be okay with her being on such an app? or was he not okay with it which made him become controlling over what she's doing on her phone? I can kinda understand why she would use such an app if she/they were looking for a friend to hang/chill with in these remote areas they traveled to but that's also very risky.

Maybe somebody has already answered this, but Bumble has a section called Bumble BFF where you can go for friends only. I’ve met one good female friend on there.

Law enforcement resumes search this morning

Flyover showing the vastness of the search. Starting from Venice side of reserve.

What was timelime when BL flew from ? to FL to empty storage locker.?.. When did he fly back.to?? to pick up van.to return to FL?

Did GPs parents know he flew back?

Am.I recalling the fly back episode incorrectly?

Thx

I'm very interested in this snippet as well. I can only find info on not well-known sites that state he was in FL for approx. 6 days, dates given were Aug 17-24. I'm not sold because I'd like to see that there is something more solid that can back this up. So far, nowhere reporting this (that I can find) is giving how they obtained this info, just states it.

ETA: 6 days seems like a long time to leave to move belongings IMO. So seems he would have driven but there's nothing I can find to say he flew or drove. Would be interested if someone else has seen anything about this.

Correct. The warrant came after GP's remains were discovered.

Sorry if this was already answered - but was it obtained or filed after her remains were found? I noticed in the warrant it listed that she could be in danger due to her mental health (https://twitter.com/BrianEntin/status/1440096530766209025/photo/1)

Regards to the tape / ribbons and spray paint on rocks those are traditional ways to mark the way to avoid getting lost. In remote places it helps aid people on the correct path. Obviously there will be evidence markers but the photos of spray paint on the rocks they do locally here for cross country races as it washes off after a period of time.
