Not in law. You have to have the intention to permanently deprive them of it.
I'm wondering if they're searching for other evidence in that location as well? @MissBetsy suggested earlier they may be searching for her phone?Yup, we've certainly seen that happen before. They've devoted a tremendous amount of resources to this, and there are cost and manpower factors.
I can't imagine this can go on for much longer. I'm just curious how strong the intelligence is that he is in fact there, and what percentage of the area they have covered.
what goes on the gravestone is up to the family. ..they pay for that. .I did not know that. So, if someone is found a year after actual death , and forensics can date it back to at least that long since death , official death date is date actually found and so declared dead? That’s what goes on gravestone?
Even if not married? That's pretty shocking. In the USA no way unmarried Gabby has to give half of her belongings or van to BL unless she made that kind of will.In Australia if a couple are together for at least 2 years, all property is deemed to be joint ownership.
NO. that's not how it works. Tgat was her address, btw. Name on title = legal ownership. No matter where it is. Or the owner is.Both GP and BL lived together at his parents house in FL. The van was registered to GP, but had BL’s parents address on it. So technically the van was parked at the “owners” home address when BL parked it in the driveway… thereby can’t charge him with a van that’s technically not missing from the owners home address.
i wish we could go away from this narrative: they were in a long-term relationship. They BOTH worked on the van. They BOTH put money and sweat into it because they lived together and (IM ASSUMING) pooled resources like almost every other couple does, especially when you’re young and broke. They BOTH drove it. They BOTH lived in it. This isn’t a casual friendship where he stole the keys and took off. My husband and I have cars in each of our names but they’re OUR cars. We’d never say “don’t drive my car, it’s mine.” We are so hyper focused on him stealing her car when it’s clear it was theirs; regardless of the title.
Swamp buggy leaving the search site at Carlton Reserve. I asked the spokesperson for the North Port PD if they’ll be halting ground search efforts at night fall again and he said “Yes. Back tomorrow.” @mysuncoast

That would be the day her body was found , so it will be listed as date of death .Date of death Sept. 19th??? Is this real???
This is simply not true. Circumstantial evidence is enough to prove guilt. Most crimes don't involve a whole lot of direct evidence at all. And secondly, it does not need to be just any plausible alternate; the actual jury instruction here in CA says it must also be reasonable. If it's possible but not reasonable, the jury can and should disregard it.
I gather these witnesses told LE everything as soon as LE contacted them.
Sorry, I knew that from other cases. Actually used the date she was found. Thanks!Yes..legally that is the date.
If you sign a death certificate you note that' time of death' , meaning time a person is officially 'pronounced legally dead' by a licensed medical person. I have signed several days after death even though it's quite evident they passed days before.
Endlessly.Has anyone discussed/thought about if the incident happened in the van, and he moved the body, or if the incident happened out at the campsite?

True, it's easy to moralize when in other shoes. Actually I'm in Latin America, and here everyone wants the kids and grandkids to stay around, crowded but happy. Always someone to babysit, always someone to pitch in. Huge weekend dinners in the patio, no matter how humble. They find it very cold that kids are "kicked out" at 18 or so in the USA. Or expected to go live with strangers or alone.
Well, were they asked?I'm sure that's true, but I'm wondering why none of these neighbors ever mentioned anything to the scads of reporters camping out for the past week there.
