Interesting that Dr. Blue wouldn't answer the question about whether the strangulation was manual or with something like a rope.

No word from Brian Entin, he must not be there at the house. Does anyone have a live feed?

JB on WFLA reading a statement from Nichole Schmidt re: SB’s statement:
“His words are garbage.”

Gabby's mother is much more polite than I could be in her position. Class times a million!

Police are back at the house.

link please?

Now, it has to be proven that BL did it……
not someone she took off with to get away from BL…..my theory about what his defense will be.

He doesn’t have to put up the defense. Prosecutors have to prove that this is not a reasonable possibility. If there is no physical evidence that they can connect to BL, it could be a tough case because there are explanations that are not all that far fetched. Likely? No. Do I believe them? No. But it’s how it plays in court

I apologize but who is SB? What did I miss with what he tweeted out during the PC?

The attorney hired by BL's parents.

It won't go to trial. He'll plead out or be found dead
IMO

Someone pretended to be Brian Entin (reporter) and was apparently typing offensive questions.

I watched this new conference on Fox News and it was cut off when the show's time ran out so I didn't hear him say anything about DV. Also during the zooms the only time I even heard Brian Entin's name was when he was virtually asked to unmute his device to ask his question. I heard nothing else.

To me the entire Zoom press conference was a disaster, cutting off people while speaking, bad connections to ask questions. It was messy..

I’m gonna guess that the death threats are rolling in.

Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue said there are many details about the condition of Gabby Petito's body he cannot yet reveal due to local rules.

Blue, however, did say that the body had been left in the wilderness for three to four weeks before it was discovered and examined.

"All I can really comment on is that is that her body was outside in the wilderness for three to four weeks," said Blue, when asked by a reporter at a news conference today if he could describe any impact on the body from the natural surroundings.

Blue declined to say whether the body had bruising, or whether the body had been buried or left above ground.

He said that Petito was not pregnant at the time of her death.

OMG with this WFLA continuing with this POI stuff.

JB, Brian Laundrie is also NOT missing. He is a FUGITIVE. Time for me to take a break from "JB" and "Walt."

From the FBI directly.

“At this time, there is no evidence to connect or any reason to believe it is related to the search for fugitive Brian Laundrie,” the FBI stated.

FBI: No evidence connecting body found on Blue Ridge Parkway to search for Brian Laundrie

If you are in a situation where you are being physically or emotionally abused, please leave before it's too late. Or reach out to someone you can trust to help you leave. If you have no one, call 800-799-SAFE. Please, been there....make the call.

Now that I’m thinking about this.. her parents have known for a while this was how she died. Her dad has been so hard pressed on telling people if you’re in an abusive relationship, LEAVE NOW! And he even stated that at her funeral. So they’ve known..

 

[Nikynoo]

I'm surprised no one asked if the coroner saw any evidence of sexual assault.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Goldiesmom]

I'm confused, if the TOD is 3-4 weeks prior to being found, that puts her dead before Aug. 27.

She was found on September 19 and last seen on August 27 so that would be 3 weeks and a few days, so that seems right to me.

BL seems not to have a problem offing those he "loves" when they stress him.
Just a warning for extended family members and the planet at large.
Dangerous man.

I would not be surprised in the least if he now kills himself to prevent LE finding and capturing him alive. Who he is has no place to hide now. His parents know. His sister knows. Everyone he has ever known or fooled knows.

 

[Yellow Rose]

Maybe they've now issued an arrest warrant.

 

[katydid23]

I'm definitely a noob but how do you accidentally strangle someone?

The only way I can think of is if they tried to say it was 'mutually /consensual' as in a sexual game kind of thing. But I dont think a jury will buy that. He would have to convince them they were doing auto asphyxiation out on the hiking trail. Either that, or he dressed her, out her backpack on her and dragged her all the way to the disposal site. I highly doubt that was what happened.

 

[Newsjunkiejen]

Agree that even in the "heat of passion" that may have started the inexcusable act of placing his hands on her throat, sometime in the 4-5 minutes before death, some form of sanity should have returned. So death was premeditated.
I had really hoped that it was due to a push/fall during an argument -- still horrible and accountable -- but not an act of pure malice.

Like you, @Kingsley, I was also hoping it was as a result of a push/fall, and not something so indicative of evil intent, (although I did have a hunch for a few weeks now that the cause of death would be strangulation - I just hoped I was wrong).

As some WS members will have seen, I've really tried to keep an open mind regarding this case. I've sometimes felt frustrated at people's readiness to appoint and apportion blame when the evidence is simply not there.

Today's press conference, however, and the cause of death revelation, changes my slant on things.

MOO

 

[TheGardener]

are police protecting the Laundries home/property? I would think silly vigilantes would be a problem

Even worse...Brian might be mad at them. He does dangerous things when peeved with loved ones.
