Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #52

Was the van towed on the 11th? jmo

"On September 14, police seized the van from Laundrie's family home to search for additional evidence."

(Tuesday ... the day where BL was initially reported as having left the home. The day after he actually left the home)

killing him negates any reward money.

Sometimes, glory is a heady reward.

Brian went missing on the same day he spoke to the attorney. If they don't remember when their son took off, to my knowledge, the attorney should be able to check his calendar and provide the date of the meeting.

The FBI later visited the store and seized footage from the surveillance cameras, TMZ reported.

Fox News Digital visited an AT&T store in North Port Monday, where an employee said they could not confirm or deny it was the store Brian was reportedly seen at. The employee said that all questions should be directed to corporate. Requests for comment to corporate have gone unanswered.

Thank you so much. I also believe the " older " woman will turn out to be his mother.

We back up and runnin??

seems like the parents are now having to alter their story. How can they put a note on the car after a day when usually it’s 5 or more days? I’m telling you.. Brian never left desoto. The parents staged the mustang.

I agree. I suspected so from the beginning just because that part of their fairy tale didn't make sense. Now it is glaringly apparent that the mustang was placed in that parking lot by anyone other than BL. IMO.

The Brian Enron Twitter page has a video with the mustang at the house on the date they said it was at the Reserve. I’m sure the video caused their Attorney to correct the timeline. I’d LOVE to see the FBI timeline!

Monday was the 13th
Tuesday was the 14th

I'm inclined to agree. They tried to make her the scapegoat in the hope that the attention may move off them and onto her.

Just planting that seed of doubt on Cassie's credibility was all they needed to do to try and shift some of the focus.

I wonder what the dynamics were in the Laundrie household growing up. Was BL the younger spoilt child? Was he living in his sister's shadow? Did one of the children receive way more attention than the other? Was there a perceived 'favourite' child?

I definitely felt in Cassie's most recent interview that she was lacking any warmth towards BL.

Has she felt that her parents circling the wagons around BL is the final straw in a lifelong dysfunctional family unit where he'd always be protected and defended, and this has caused her to speak out?

JMO

There's also quite an age gap between them, right? Didn't I see that she's 32 or something? So they probably weren't playmates. She *may* have been a second Mom to him, but you're right. I don't think they are close at this point in their lives. Remember, Gabby was the one sending postcards to CL's kids, not Brian.

Okay. Have been looking for a source. Wiki says that, and references this WFLA article as their source.

On Sept. 14, police executed a search warrant for the van that she and Laundrie had traveled in.

Is there another better source that I am not finding?

Isn't that a conflict of interest, though?

ETA: A lawyer for just Brian would tell the parents to keep their mouths shut and not help LE find him. It seems like a lawyer for just the parents would advise them to cooperate with LE because it would be better for them in the long run. Although maybe the lawyer is just working with what they gave him (i.e., we want to protect BL at all costs, even though he is a(n allegedly) wretched human being.

I've said many times he's pushing it ethically, at a minimum, on several fronts.

As far as a conflict of interest, IF there is not an actual conflict of interest in representing everyone he does (BL, Chris L, Roberta L, per SB), just a potential one, then he could have requested from them a waiver of the conflict. In that case, as in any case, he has duties to each one of them. If their interests diverge (say, the Laundries decided to rat out BL or give statements to LE against his interests), he could not continue to represent all of them.

To me, a big issue with his rep ping all three of them is that he can't advise the Ls about approaching the FBI to make a statement or seek a deal for them if they provide info about BL, his whereabouts, etc. So by his representing all of them he's effectively cutting off avenues that it might bebefit them to follow.

If it's in their best interest or they are wondering whether they should go to LE, he can't advise or facilitate them doing so bc of his obligations to BL. Huge ethical issue, imo.

I absolutely got the same feeling- that she was always the one set off to the side patiently waiting for her turn while the attention went to her brother (most likely because of his screw ups IMO) and she finally felt like sticking up for herself. Her own parents won't speak to her (which she said when talking to the protesters who were outside of her home, making her children cry). I think the L's have/had a lot of issues prior to their son being a POI in the homicide of his girlfriend. IMO.

IMO, Cassie is still suspicious. I want to be compassionate towards her situation (although I do feel sad for her children) but there are several inconsistencies from her interview with the protestors yesterday.
In a previous long post that I posted last night I listed some of the contradictions in the statements by Cassie and her husband Jimmy, but unfortunately it got lost with the server update and I'm too tired to type it all up again so I'll just list one problem.
The main concern is, how did Cassie not even once ask "Where is Gabby?" or how did her children never ask about Gabby when they went to Fort de Soto on the 6th from 2PM to 8PM?
I don't believe at all that Cassie, Jimmy, or their children never asked about Gabby on Sept 1st or Sept 6th.

I think we need to lighten up on Cassie. She’s been put in the middle of this because her brother is a coward and her parents are covering for him. She’s got a mob on her lawn and an idiot attorney (who does NOT represent her) making statements about her. Whether she or her children asked about Gabby, and what they were told in response, could be something the FBI does not want her talking about. I get the feeling she was closer to Gabby than she is to her brother.

I mentioned earlier about the laundries grandchildren, how are BL’s parents not putting their grandchildren first, their solicitor (less said on him the better) said don’t talk to anyone, I wonder how they are coping not seeing their grandchildren and IF they have seen the Cassie interview and heard from the horses mouth that the children are scared, upset, grieving for gabby, I wonder how as grandparents they can come up with a reason as to why they won’t try to help the little ones in their family by speaking up, how can they sleep at night? They did nothing to help gabby and to me they’re selfish IMO it all seems so cold. BL is obviously their priority even over the little ones. JMO

 

[Bekind89]

I agree with you. Wouldn't it be absolutely traumatic to sit there waiting for your son to come home from his hike for dinner and he never comes home? You wake up the next morning and he's still not there - wouldn't you panic?

Even if I believed whatever story my son told me about the crime I would panic knowing the whole country thinks he's a murderer and it's not safe for him to be out alone.

This. A million times. Most parents could not eat or sleep for worrying about the many different scenarios in which their child could get fatally harmed. They would be profusely thanking those who are looking for him and begging their son to turn himself in and not take his own life.
They mostly have had the appearance and demeanor of people only irritated with the media/FBI. As if they were under no major stress or worry. Going to Walmart. Jmo

Maybe a timeline of all the fibs that have been laid out , and laid out as if they were the absolute truth, with the correct facial expressions to back up the lie. ......

I won't even attempt to do Bertolini.. not enough time.'

Cassie. .. I didn't see Brian at the De Soto camp.. I did see Brian at the De Soto camp .

I haven't spoken to Brian. . I have spoken to Brian but the subject of Gabby never came up (like.. as if !!)

agh there is another one but I forget it.

Mum and Dad. .. Brian has gone missing.

I don't remember her saying she didn't see Brian at the campgrounds. She never mentioned it in the first interview. It was only after the attorney revealed she went there on the 6th that she said she saw him.

Also, she didn't say "I haven't spoken to Brian." She was asked what the oddest thing was about all this and she said that she hasn't been able to talk to him. She later explained that this was after the 11th when she found out Gabby was missing and neither Brian or her parents would talk to her.

Even in her first interview she mentioned the attorney as one of the reasons she couldn't talk to him. Imo

No glory in killing him. Being the one to find him would be good though.

 

[Luna20]

They are attempting to use the extended trip narrative to defend his use of the card after she was dead. He’s going to say he didn’t know she was dead at that point because afterall there was discussion of extending the trip. He flew home to ‘take care of their shared personal business’ fully expecting to reunite and regroup from there.

They found the external drive in the van while they had it and the search warrant was for the external drive, found inside. jmo

Ita, imo, the parent's have no reason to cut them off if they knew nothing. No reason at all.

I totally agree. I have the feeling that she has been getting the short end of everything in that family for a very long time. Jmo
