In response to
@10ofRods, P#685, T#35 post about my
"Alternative Scenario" to BL as GP's killer. See my P#599 on this page if interested:
Found Deceased - WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #35
********************************************
All IMO.
First I'll remind folks I posted this Alternative Scenario in the full spirit of objective sleuthing - turning data upside down sometimes to ferret out new theories. Like many of you here, I strongly suspect BL killed GP in a rage. But I also want to be a good sleuther and not get too tied up in one scenario, especially with so few facts.
1oofrods: “So she left him with all her stuff? Including phone and debit card. How unusual.
RedHaus: In this alternative scenario, I did not suggest GP left BL with all her stuff. To the contrary, this scenario has GP staying put in the van when BL leaves for his Snake River hike (to clear his head and avoid hurting her in his 'excited state') likely late afternoon or early evening of 8/27.
10ofrods: And what an incredibly thing to have happen - a nefarious actor, who apparently. steals nothing <modsnip - no link for fact>. Wow....
RedHaus: Well, I certainly have heard about countless rapes and murders of women where nothing is stolen from their home, their car, their selves. Rape is about violence and not about theft. And murder often is as well. So I am not sure why this seems incredulous. This scenario has GP being killed by a stalker on 8/28.
10ofrods: Or did he take her phone and text Stan as well as Gabby's mom?
RedHaus: As I understand the time line, on 8/27, Gabby's uncle posts there was a snapchat Gabby sent a friend -heading to Yellowstone (in Dailymail article). This alternative scenario could fit with that fact, in that Gabby could have sent this to her friend the morning of 8/27, before the Texmex restaurant blow-up. Maybe she and BL had in fact made plans that morning to go to Yellowstone – perhaps the next day on 8/28.
Further, I still contend BL texted GP’s Mom about Stan on 8/27 (as I've previously posted). This likely happened after the Texmex restaurant as BL may have taken GP’s phone from her and perhaps Grampa (Stan) had intuition something was wrong. Perhaps BL's blow up and his taking her phone was the 'straw' for GP.
And as for the 8/30 text to GP’s Mom, I believe BL sent that as most here do. That still fits with this alternative scenario as it is possible BL still had GP’s phone with him when he left for a hike and then when he left for home with GP's van. That could also explain the apparent radio silence from GP's phone on 8/28 (and 8/29).
So on 8/30, either before he left for home with GP's van, or from the road, in this scenario, BL texts GP's Mom to shut her up. And maybe he is demonstrating some confusion by announcing there is no cell service in "Yosemite" when in fact, GP may have been talking to her Mom (certainly her friend) about going to Yellowstone.
If BL had her phone, it might explain why GP couldn't call for help if she felt threatened by a stranger or was being attacked on 8/28 as this scenario considers.
10ofrods: Since LE already have those records, it's truly concerning that they aren't looking for a serial killer in WY. And not a single camera so far has picked up evidence of this person - who had to have a car, as he couldn't exactly trot behind their vehicle all the way to Spread Creek.'
RedHaus: How do we know LE is not searching for another possible killer in the Grand Tetons? I don’t recall there being many CCTV locations in the area GP was killed. Of course, the proposed alternative killer would not be on foot… already in the campground perhaps? Perhaps he chased her to where she ended up?
A10ofrods: And LE also has Brian's phone records. Why didn't he call Gabby to see what was up, if she just disappeared? Why don't his parents tell. Gabby's parents what. happened? Why is Brian the only POI?
RedHaus: If BL had GP’s phone then he couldn’t call her to ask where she is when he didn’t find her at the van after he returned from his hike 8/29, in this alternative scenario. Why BL would not have called GP’s parents to check on GP is a great question, but that is why I added the comment at that point in the alternative scenario that “this would have to presume he does not process information like most people"… “this would require a suspension of normal social expectations.”
Simply put, I don’t think BL is like most people so his behavior may appear… well..., very different from you or me.
As for why there is not another POI, who knows… maybe there are no others, maybe there are some, maybe LE hasn’t gotten that far. Isn’t the autopsy findings pending pathology and toxicology? If they could do a rape kit, wouldn't DNA pending? I suspect that is what BL's lawyer(s?) is/are hoping for perhaps.
All IMO.
