I would have, too. I hope that he didn't though, because his attorney said he d never even been on that BLOCK.... jmo

Someone posted here today that her aunt lived very close and she might have driven by for JP.

Are the Moab police releasing these clips voluntarily? or ...

Because I was wondering if the Moab police think they come off pretty nifty, and are expecting praise or if they want everyone to see how they (mis)handle these situations........

They are public record. Moab police are submitting to a third-party review of this incident, and the chief has taken an unexpected leave of absence. I do not think they think they are "nifty."

 

[Katerz]

Not available and history is not avail for that aircraft. ?

It was earlier that may be why? It was either Pinellas county sheriff or the air force plane

 

[katydid23]

Because her father had insisted on a wellness check when the Laundries would not answer their calls.

OK, that makes sense. I guess I was emotionally invested in wanting her Father to have been able to give them a piece of his mind.

Permission was given to post this link. For anyone who might be concerned about the medical examiners and forensic science specialists not being able to find a COD for Gabby, this gave me hope.

This clip (after a few second introductory pic of GP in Moab) is an in-depth interview with Dr. William Maroney, Chief Medical Examiner from a county in Michigan. He discusses not only the specialists involved and the testing that is likely being done, but also mentions a possibility no other examiner has mentioned: he says she is probably having 2 autopsies. The second is most likely being conducted either at a university, a military base, or perhaps even at Quantico. I found it very insightful, very instructive and educational, and believe it's worth watching IMO.

This was very informational. Thanks for this!

No, sorry, that's incorrect. JP has stated clearly he c was never physically there and there is no evidence to suggest that the GP family reached out to the L family before the 10th.

It was related to them trying to report her missing but there's been nothing stated about just how they learned the van was there and she wasn't

He does not give dates but:
Petito said his family began worrying after several days without hearing from their daughter.

“We called Brian, we called the mom, we called the dad, we called the sister, we called every number that we could find,” Petito said. “No phone calls were picked up, no text messages were returned.”

Petito said he wants Laundrie to be held accountable for whatever part he played in his daughter’s disappearance, along with his family for protecting him. “I hope they get what’s coming, and that includes his folks,” Petito said. “Because I’ll tell you, right now, they are just as complicit, in my book.”

Weren't they taken aback by how BL acted like it was all amusing? Jolly jolly jolly. Barf

His whole smiley demeanor just reinforced for the police officers the idea that he was a normal, easygoing guy dealing with his “crazy chick”.

 

[Kurzz10]

Watching the new body cam video makes me so sad and I just think of how hard that must be on her family to see. There is so much irony in that video and I feel for everyone involved. I just kept saying to myself "I'm sorry Gabby".

I'm glad I was allowed to post it because I was becoming doubtful and that gave me hope. So, I hope it does the same for anyone else on here wondering what's happening.

 

[dtowndetective411]

Could look at it another way-Not that the media was trying to paint her as hysterical in judgement of her, but in support of the idea that clearly she was terrified of BL b/c her reaction, they posit, was disproportionate to the situation she & BL described.
I'd have to see the context you're seeing. Not always, but generally the media loves to put the would-be perp on public trial, not the victim. Especially a victim who they deem to be appealing to the public.
Disclaimer: If he's guilty, I don't care if the media flames him all the way to hell.

That’s a good point. I just don’t like the term “hysterical” regardless because it is loaded with undertones, I would think distraught or distressed would be better used in that case. Hysterical is taken as “out of control” and usually about women expressing emotion. But it’s all just semantics, I guess, and I can understanding what you pointed out. Journalists do know how that word is received, now and historically, though, so I always have a problem with it. Especially in this second video where half of the time it is clear that she is very calm and composed and not “hysterical”. I wish they’d just picked a different adjective, if they were trying to juxtapose her and BL’s reactions, that can’t be flipped on its head and used against her out of context. MOO

Me too, but it is not over yet. I hope he sues them for aiding a murderer.

Yes and it makes me want to vomit.

I can't bear to watch the whole thing but of course TV coverage plays clips of it and he looks so happy and relaxed and she looks so distraught and miserable and grrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Lillymac]

I’m sure the police ran the plate. They do that for every traffic stop to asses risk and check for outstanding warrants.

I believe you can hear him on the video calling it in. Or that might be when there is no sound for a few seconds.

The many faces of Brian Laundrie | Banfield

What would Brian Laundrie look like now with more than a month of new growth on his head and a beard? With a different hair color? Completely different clothes? Could he be hiding among us? Guinness Book of World Records’ most successful forensic artist Louis Gibson joins Banfield to try to answer these questions.

 

[Loveallmyhorsesdogsandcats]

This is speculation, but an educated guess at the least--- I think that her family had been calling BL and his parents and his sister, asking for news about Gabby because they couldn't reach her. They tried for over a week and finally Gabby's dad drove over to their home---and saw the van.

At that point he had to be very angry and confused that no one was answering their phones.

Her mother has been quoted as saying she tried contacting them on the 10th, it was not all week. Possibly her father left an aggressive/threatening voicemail that prompted them to call 911? Idk but then it seems like they would have to explain why, Gabby missing.

AHA! I wondered if someone drove there or past there FOR him. jmo

Gabby's mother Nicole Schmidt told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that on September 10 she reached out to Brian and his mother Roberta Laundrie trying to reach her daughter after she had not heard from Gabby since August 25.

'I texted Brian's mom that I was trying to get in touch with Gabby. I also texted Brian. I got no replies,' Schmidt said.

'I knew something was wrong,' Schmidt said. 'I felt something was off and I needed to get her reported missing immediately'

She went to report Gabby missing later that day but police initially blew her off. The next day, she was allowed to file a report with the Suffolk County police department.

I see red when I hear him describe he was trying to prevent her from driving away with the van/phone and leaving him in the desert. Exactly what he himself tried to do in Moab, probably a dozen other times, and imo, finally doing just that by leaving her dead by a river, taking her van and her phone. Imo. There's a special place in......

 

[Beetlebrow]

I believe the female officer and the other male officer at the stop were from the National Park Service, so not a part of Moab PD.

So they don't have bodycams? I thought it was discussed aways back that she interviewed Gabby...could be wrong, Anyway, apparently Moab PD decides what to release and when so I'm just curious as to why there is no interview w/ the 2nd witness.

The word hysterical comes from the Greek work Hystera, which means uterus. It is thought that a woman's femaleness causes hysteria and only woman can become hysterical. The world should have been dropped from modern English, a century ago.
