Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #27

[WellThen]

thank you this is incredulous. I wonder of they went to prep a place for him to hide out and whether he even actually returned with them

Could also possibly be an opportunity to dispose of evidence...

 

[taylorss]

Did LE look inside that camper shell? He’s probably hiding out right in there jk moo

Um, that’s not the same cross we’ve been looking at.

This is the ACTUAL site where her body was located.

They did.

Um, that’s not the same cross we’ve been looking at.

The 1st cross was placed by LE apparently. This cross was placed by her stepfather it says and it matches up with the Ariel photos of where her body appeared to be found.

 

[MCDRAW]

Me too. I was on the fence about him being in the swamp but at this point I strongly believe he isn’t there and is instead hunkered down in a safe(r) location. MOO.

Did the neighbors say it was a different camper than the one in their driveway?

 

[Sleuthine]

I don't find the post anymore that I wanted to quote.

The drive through Grand Teton National Park on the way to Yellowstone (let's say Old Faithful as destination) from Victor makes perfectly sense to me. It is the most scenic and also quickest.

They left Salt Lake City on the 24th, passed through Victor and Ogden (the Halloween post) and then went into the Tetons area. I think they did sleep in that area on the 25th as well (text to mom that they are in the Tetons, sighting in Jenny Lake on the 25(?)th), but I have the feeling it was on another campground, location. Maybe around Jenny Lake. Or a quick hotel night in Jackson after the longer drive from Salt Lake City.

Edit: I thought Jenny Lake was a day later but it seems to have been on the 25th as well. I am wondering if they already arrived on the 24th in the Tetons then.

They said it was the camper/topper.

 

[kittythehare]

How many more twists and turns will this take?
Do LE believe his family?

 

[10ofRods]

it’s not enough to get him officially accused of murder. Much less convicted. In a court of law , he is innocent until proven guilty. A plausible alternate scenario is all that is needed to be found not guilty unless there is some direct admissible evidence showing he did the deed.

Wow. That's so far off from the legal realities of all 50 states and Federal Court (especially Federal Court) that I can't even begin to count the cases where there was no direct evidence (basically either an eyewitness or camera footage - moving pictures, not still).

Judgmentally you are correct...the parents should be forthright....
But ya know, many a classic play, or movie or book grapple with the struggle between unconditional love and ethics... a common theme that we are probably seeing play out right before our eyes!!

Brilliant post and so true. We coincidentally happen to be listening to an audible book (The Brothers Karamazov, 1870 or so) and it's so much the same theme (complete with courtroom drama - which is my favorite part).

Although...I think Dostoevsky thought in the end, that "unconditional love" often backfires...on the ones who love.

Gabby Petito's stepfather lays stone cross and flowers at the exact spot where her remains were found in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forrest Gabby Petito: Dive teams arrive at Carlton Reserve in search for Brian Laundrie: LIVE UPDATES

This conflicts with the earlier report posted here that said her family confirmed investigators made the cross of stones.


ETA: this cross looks different…
so which of the two spots is the spot?

 

[Wicked Strong]

Um, that’s not the same cross we’ve been looking at.

This is the personal cross that Gabby's step father created, not the one that the investigators placed previously. It is a loving memorial to his daughter.

Okay, I’m really confused. First, the searchers were across the creek in the flats and put up a tent. Then a cross was placed near the creek by searchers. Now her stepdad put a cross where her body was actually found and that spot is very close to where BL parked the van by the road. Somebody help me out here, please.

 

[Here_I_Am]

Um, that’s not the same cross we’ve been looking at.

It was obvious that wasn't the site where the crew with the photographer and the tent were.
That site was among trees, as this photograph shows with the newer cross.

 

[TL4S]

Are there any public transportation or shuttles that have stops at both Jackson and Coulter Bay?

There are two crosses now.

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.

It was not theirs. It was hers. With the title in her name, if there are property taxes to be paid, she was responsible. If she wanted to sell the van and had to transfer a title, it's hers. If she filed bankruptcy and she had to list assets, with her name on the title, it’s an asset of hers. This van was hers.

They said it was the camper/topper.

Thanks for answering, I had the same question !
I wonder if it wasn't a 'camping trip' at all -- but to hide Brian and now (the half gallon 'milk run') they're bringing him supplies ?
Imo.

Might have been my post. I had said they might have stayed at that campsite the night before the Lady with the dog (lord we need something else beside dog lady) saw him alone and driving weird near the spot. If so, then maybe the reason GP wasn't in sight was she had already see the campsite so was in teh back doing something else.

LE just needs the truck's GPS records and little Bri Bri will be found eating his moon pies & drinking his RC colas.

Sorry. I know that is not a pleasant image, him being so health conscious and all....

MOO
