Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #30

He may have just emptied her accounts and withdrew all the money. With many banks you can use your debit card to access both your checking and savings accounts.

They may have surveillance camera footage of him alone at the ATM.

Every ATM I've ever been to has a camera. If the camera was working, they have a visual record of him at the ATM. If he withdrew money at a store... like in my local Krogers you can get cash back even by going through a self-checkout lane but I believe there are cameras in those machines too.
Most likely LE has a lot of records and proof of him stealing all this money or there would be no warrant.

Everyone speculating that BL may have bought a gun and would have been prevented by background checks...

You are speculating that he bought a gun legally. What else has he done legally in the last few weeks?

Here's hoping that if he did purchase a gun, that whoever he got it from is into a cool extra $20K.

 

[whirrledpeas]

Gotcha. But they’d still need to prove he knew she was dead at the time, correct?

Not necessarily. A credit card or bank card is not like driving someone’s vehicle. You need permission to use for each transaction in most cases. If she was deceased at the time of use, he didn’t have permission.

How much for tolls?

Just double-checked and to my knowledge (someone correct me if I'm wrong!), there are none on the route from Jackson, WY to North Port, FL until you reach the Tampa Bay region.

Living in that area, they would probably have the local toll pass and wouldn't need cash for those tolls.

the "not believing in plastic" thing got me from the very first time I saw the Moab stop. . . but clearly if it is a plastic form of currency, that plastic is okay.

If it is him the watch makes me laugh considering his IG post ‘the tree doesn’t require an apple watch’. If he was purchasing water in plastic bottles that would send me.

If he's alive, I do think the public will be the ones who spot him. I hope the following is allowed and I'm not repeating something for the 20th time.

A flight attendant took a photo on a plane to Canada a couple of days ago of a man who looked so much like BL. Slightly blurry photo though. He looked like him a lot more than the trail cam guy did. Here it is.

Brian 'sighting' reported by woman convinced she spotted him in Canada

Whoever that is - it really looks like a fake/enhanced beard.

 

[notchucktesta]

All of these Brian Laundrie sightings remind me of when everyone suspected every single white truck of being the one from the Mickey Shunick case. Not a good time to be a bald bearded guy for sure BUTTTT I'm happy that so many folks are looking for this dude. I hope he's found soon!

Here's another, highly readable, article about a Mountain Man on the run. Reminder: BL ain't no mountain man! And the moral of all these stories? The fugitives kind of want to get caught; the isolation does them in.

I’m glad the feds got that warrant. Gives them more play. Was initially a bit surprised it was for use of Gabby’s ATM card—and I knew that was a serious no-no on federal level due to federal reserve banking las but didn’t know it could lead to a warrant for arrest.
I’m glad that Feds are now not rushed to get a murder indictment. They can take their sweet time in putting the case together. That it is possible that this may all be circumstantial evidence, the time Gabby as left outside, that BL has not said one word about situation , can make it even more challenging to nail an indictment, much mor do a conviction. We do not want case thrown out for technical reasons which can happen when moving to quickly, jumping the gun on some things. This buys the prosecutors time.

My understanding is that "Homicide" is all death caused by another person. A person executed by the state of TX for example is dead of a "homicide". But Murder is unauthorized and illegal homicide, gross as that sounds.

We do not have degrees of murder either.

 

[Veronica Sawyer]

And there's a mob of reporters/spectators on their front lawn chomping at the bit to record it all.

The outrage over his dad running out to get milk says a lot IMO.

But this is a federal case.

How does it work for federal cases?

What's the Difference Between a Misdemeanor and a Felony? - FindLaw

Please could someone briefly explain when a crime is classed as a Felony? I assume a Felony is something more serious?

(I'm a Brit, so we don't use that term over here).

TIA

A felony is the most serious type of crime.

Please could someone explain to me what the time is there. Here it is 00.10 the reason I ask is because the.news coverage is going off now and they say they will give us news again tomorrow at 11am Eastern I am in gmt summer time

 

[ab-initio]

Whose son returned from a cross country trip without the fiance he left with, the same fiance who was later found murdered.

Precisely.
If I was those parents, I'd be lawyering up, too.
Doesn't inherently imply guilt, complicity or anything other than being thrust into a mess.

Yes felonies are serious crimes (of varying degrees) . Less serious crimes are misdemeanors (also of varying degrees).

Is there a clear confirmation of who the lawyer is representing in the family? Is it the Laundrie parents or BL? Or can it be both?

The zombie corpse of F. Lee Bailey perhaps?

 

[LinasK]

Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief

Brian Laundrie Family Will Not Be Repped by Casey Anthony Lawyer, Jose Baez

Gee, how bad are you when even Jose Baez doesn't want to represent you, LOL!

 

[jamicat]

Wow! That was dumb!
MOO

He was so used to using her stuff that he did not realize that ride was over once she was gone.

How does it work for federal cases?

A lawyer posted the federal statutes earlier. I think one of the mods placed it at the beginning of this thread. Maybe go back and look at the first couple of pages of this thread for it.
