Surely if BL has taken a course during his disappearance, the FBI will know. MOO

Yes, I'm sure!

Speaking of equipment for the long-haul trip, Question for long term hikers/campers: Would a hatchet be a necessary item in the equipment stash? Splitting wood for campfires???? What else would be needed for long-term camping/hiking? jmo

That would really depend on the type of camper and vehicle being used. This question could have a large range of answers. If I had to guess, BL would be the type that would benefit from a hatchet but a van would be a tight place to squeeze in that kind of equipment. Hope that helps.

I thought this also. But why wouldn’t she ask her dad to come get her? Her van was there. She could drive home! She is in a hotel for what a week?
Makes no sense! She did t want to go home is my guess! She tells dad nothing!

I think she was embarrassed because he (IMO) stole her van keys so she couldn't make friends or do anything on her own.

My sons a skater too he takes a board everywhere he goes!

My future son in law's is always behind his truck seat. It is the source of some jokes around here.

I’ve been trying to get up statistics on the most common way someone kills their partner e.g shooting, stabbing etc. I can’t seem to find a decent source, does anyone have access to a link in regards to this. I’m wanting to know because GP death was ruled a homicide almost immediately, in my opinion this suggests an obvious COD. I’ve said before they ruled out a connection with the two other women who were shot, so In my opinion could this potentially rule out a gun unless it was a different caliber. All MOO and just thinking out loud.

I think it is because the MP report was filed in NY and perhaps they would only take the report if the MP was resident in NY?

Yes, I’m wondering if that is the case. Also thinking about something I read (from NS? I can’t recall) that GP was expected to return to New York at the conclusion of the van life adventure. And it makes me wonder, again, what was GP’s address of record? I haven’t seen DL, passport or the like to know for sure.

Moo

Re: GP's stuff

The quote from the local police spokesperson in Gabby's family haven't received her remains & her 'stuff is in Brian's home'

says he/she was “unaware of any items of hers from inside the home”

That doesn't necessarily mean there were no items inside the home. It could mean (and likely does) that the only items local LE had of GP's at the time came from the van. If the FBI has made a statement about what they saw in the home when they did their extensive search I'm unaware of it. So I don't think we should be assuming all GP's property is gone from the home. Maybe it is. But the police quote doesn't really say that. And the quote from NP was quite awhile ago, maybe about 2 weeks?

I'm also not sure what sorts of property would have ever been there beyond clothes and jewelry. Apparently she's always lived in someone else's already-established home so she wouldn't have things like kitchen stuff or furniture.

Their trip was to span several seasons so she'd need to take different clothes with her whether we've seen them in the van or not. And didn't she sell her clothes online?

JMO

MOO, the last time I moved, I parked a lot of stuff, threw away a lot of stuff, and put my larger items in storage. I still left behind a few things. It’s one thing if she had been there for 2 weeks, living out of a suitcase. But 2 years? She didn’t have her own books, makeup/toiletries, birthday cards? She didn’t have a tiny bit of space in that home to call her own? She sold or packed absolutely everything and left not even a single sock by accident? And, again, if BL really flew home to move “their” stuff out of storage into the home and she was not present, at the very least, where is her stuff from storage?
This is my last post on this because obviously we don’t know, her mother doesn’t know, the only people who know are BL, CL and RL, and they’re not talking. Yet.

edited for typo.

Every once in a while, things are actually simple. Some times they are..... exactly what they appear to be.

What's this kid running from again?

The L'ys? I don't think they know where he is. I don't even think they know where he went. I don't think they're spending a dime on supporting him. They're smarter than that.

I'm not sure they even knew what he's suspected of having done prior to his disappearance. Yeah, that's hard for me to say, and likely unpopular with a whole bunch of folks, but hey, for this old country boy, it makes sense.

I mentioned plausible deniability a few days back.

I wouldn't defend them in any way, shape, or form, but I do think they have a well seasoned attorney.

Again, there is one fact that settles this entire case for me. What's he running from?

Nina Angelo told CNN on Wednesday that she and her boyfriend, Matt England, saw a "commotion" as Petito and Laundrie were leaving The Merry Piglets Tex-Mex restaurant on August 27.
Couple was involved in an incident in a Wyoming restaurant in late August, witnesses say - CNN


They were out to lunch at Merry Piglets, a Tex-Mex restaurant, between 1 and 2 p.m. on Aug. 27, when they said an agitated Laundrie began arguing with a waitress. Four and a half hours later, a travel-blogging couple passed Petito's van at a campsite north of town.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the restaurant confirmed the two were there.

"Yes, we can confirm Gabby and Brian were in Merry Piglets…We have already notified the FBI and they are aware. We are letting them do their jobs and we are
respecting Gabby's family and have nothing further to comment," the restaurant said.

we do take a small axe and also a machete

What do you travel in, if you don't mind me asking?

Hatchet is.flat does not take up space I'm sure they had tools esp if something happened to the van! hammer.screwdriver bolts etc!

TY. If I were planning on campfires where allowed I would want to be able to collect larger wood than kindling, and would need a small axe or hatchet to split larger wood. Trying to imagine what tools would have been stored for their long, varied trip. jmo

But I think the Mustang was back Monday night - are am I confuse? If so, then they had to know he was missing then.

there is something about the Mustang and when it was ticketed and removed by the parents... would like to see those dates again.

Mustang ticketed the 14th...

possible discrepancy seems to be about when the Ls picked the car up- Wed (9/15) or Thurs (9/16) .... not originally about the Mon (9/13) or Tues (9/14) dates.

I wouldn't agree that it rules out a gun, but there's not much to suggest one besides the thorough search of the reserve. Based on his behavior and the quick certainty of the homicide ruling, it had to be something physical. JMO

I'm a long term camper but we haven't done much boondocking and have a much bigger vehicle so I don't really think I'm qualified to answer. We do keep a hatchet and machete on hand though. They are definitely helpful, even though most times they want you to buy precut wood. I'd LOVE to hear from someone that boondocks on this.

 

[Chicago54]

How many skateboards did he take on the trip? Didn't someone say he gave away one of the skateboards? IMO Why would a person take skateboards in a van with such limited space. Bizarre priorities. Why not take a hacky sack instead if he was cooperating in the downsize?

IMO.

Does anyone know if GP skateboarded? This story always bothered me. The couple was strapped for cash, I think iirc GP did sell clothes online (as mentioned above), and skateboards aren’t cheap. He could have gotten a few bucks for it.
I was thinking he had 2 and he brought the other for GP to use? Or he was teaching her? Maybe it was another source of contention between them and he “taught” GP another lesson by giving the extra away.

FBI statement regarding NC body: "The body discovered along the Blue Ridge Parkway on Saturday October 9, 2021, is part of an ongoing investigation. At this time, there is no evidence to connect or any reason to believe it is related to the search for fugitive Brian Laundrie."

Has the FBI described Brian as a fugitive before? I mean he IS, but I wasn't sure if he had been officially described that way.

It’s much more sad to me that it was not BL because now a family must mourn the person who was found.

I know BL’s family would mourn his death but I won’t get into what is likely their own share of responsibility that he is on the run and possibly in danger. (Although I don’t think he is in danger except from his own stupidity and I do think they know where he is.)

MOO

I *think* if it is a close partner, more often than not, it is strangulation I believe. I am sure I have seen a report. I will look.

I stand corrected - Knife or other sharp implement, followed by hitting or kicking. See item 6 Homicide in England and Wales - Office for National Statistics

His grabbing her in the face forcefully enough to leave wounds is a dead giveaway for me. If he disrespected her that much by August 12, imagine how it probably escalated by the time he IMO killed her. I firmly believe it was physical, not with a gun.

IMO

That’s what I thought too but when I was looking it said a handguns, then other types of guns and strangulation and bludgeoning were low down which to me is odd so I didn’t really trust the source. Thank you for looking for me.
