Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #60

[PommyMommy]

I've added this link to the media thread - I'm wondering about the reasoning behind the presser - and believe they believe BL is in hiding and this will call attention to Gabby - perhaps even try to communicate with him in some small way? Otherwise, just release a statement? JMO

I don't think the coroner is needed to call attention to Gabby and I don't see the press conference as all that unusual. IMO, we're over-thinking it.

I find it interesting that Brian’s friend says he was into guns and had no interest in social media.

Brian Laundrie was a ‘chubby social outcast’ at school, says friend

Yep - 100% agree with you. Why a press conference and not a press release? Why the coroner and not the FBI?

Because it's a virtual presser and there's a Q and A session at the end. The FBI don't answer questions from the media.

I have missed a lot of threads but just for the record, is this the first BL "school" friend (other than GP's) that has come forward? Very interesting and sure the FBI would be focusing on all past BL & Family Contacts. IMO.. his fugitive case looks like a "hide for hire" in lieu of typical murder for hire. The fact he has not been found seems like help from one person is likely.

IMO the answers to most of the questions are gonna be "you'll need to ask the FBI" or "we cant discuss that as its part of an ongoing investigation"....

Yeah, I'm not sure "he was awkward in middle school" is relevant but the gun stuff answered some questions I had about him.

A loner who is into guns... Oh, dear. Jmo

It's the only one I've been able to find! And I keep looking because Gabby had quite a few speak on her behalf

 

[imstilla.grandma]

Laundrie's pal exclusively told The Sun that Gabby Petito's on-the-run fiancé was nearly 40 pounds heavier when he was 14-years-old.

"These last two years were the most public and open he has ever been. He's a pretty disconnected off the grid type of guy, not the 'selfie' type."

“He's the type of person that would be able to drop everything to secure his means of not being captured and to evade arrest or evade prosecution from what seems to be a pending crime.”

The friend revealed Laundrie had “zero friends” in middle school and would sit at the lunch table with two other people.

"A lot of my friends have guns and stuff,” the friend said.

“The gun laws in Florida were a lot less restrictive than New York so it was interesting for him to move to another state that allowed that.”

“Brian was very quiet in school. He was a bit of an outcast when he was younger. He was just so to himself.”

He added: “Brian cut his hair and lost weight in high school.”

Yes I believe this is the first we are hearing from a "friend" of BL. it strikes me as odd, plus that news outlet pays for stories (which I am sure a lot do) but could totally see someone who may have known him (I've known a lot of people, but don't necessarily call them friends) look at this as an opportunity to get some extra cash. JMOO.

All quiet at the Laundrie house this morning. No activity. We will stream the coroner's press conference at 2:30pmET. I'll post a link. Coroner says there will be a "brief question and answer period." DM me your questions for the coroner and I'll try to get a few in.

Maybe I'm just hopeful, but I think a allowing a question and answer period means they are going to release some real information. If they are not going to tell us anything, they aren't going to want journalists asking questions they won't answer. IMO

Has anyone seen a confirmation of the identity of the forensic pathologist brought in from Sheridan Wyoming?

The stream will of course be live on all platforms and include the coroner’s announcement via Zoom.

I will follow-up here on my@WFLAJB accounts with specific start times for YouTube (1st) and Facebook (2nd). Again, we’ll be live on #WFLANow *before* 2:30 ET.

WFLA obtained further records which indicated deputies came nine times during that period.

The first call came on September 19 - the day Gabby's body was found in Grand Teton National Park and two days after Brian's parents reported him missing.

Records show Cassie's husband James reported receiving "messages from random people" which included threats about "killing his family and kidnapping his kids," WFLA reported.

I expect they’ll announce that tox screens were negative, that they have determined (but will not release) a COD, and that the body has been released to the family. Fini.
MOO

I don't think the tox screen will be entirely negative. I think it will be positive for pot. I can't see why it wouldn't be-- GP's Instagram posts mention the pot out west being really good.

I have no reason to think marijuana had anything with her death. But if the tox screen results are announced (with or without a COD announcement), the coroner might prefer to explain via Zoom instead of press release why the pot isn't a big deal (assuming it's detected and it's not relevant to COD. Think it is screened for on autopsy screens though.)

Low self esteem and insecurity issues? Introversion?

 

[kittythehare]

If this is what investigators suspected happened, than I don't think they would treat the Aug. 27th text any differently than the Aug. 30th "Yosemite" text. They would both be written by and sent by BL (presumably after GP's death), from her phone. But, according to the article (which I'm willing to question in its accuracy), investigators ARE treating the two texts differently.

I'm not misunderstanding the content of the texts, or the dates, or why GP's mom found them alarming. I simply find it significant IF GP sent the Stan text, which the article seems to suggest.

I think it's the location data of origin of texts...

It says it was only when he was younger. Middle school is a weird time for all kids, but harder for some. He grew out of it in high school so I'm not sure it really tells us anything. Sounds more like this guy is looking for his 15 minutes. JMO
