Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #61

[Sincerely]

Great question about old bruising…even though he couldn’t answer.

 

[Katerz]

3 weeks from when she was found would’ve been the 29th.. 4 weeks was the 22nd and we know she was alive then. So we’re still at between 8/25/
- 8/29

People are asking questions, but he can only repeat the cause and manner of death. He also said something very general about when the death occurred, but I missed that.

Did I hear the coroner correctly? It sounded like he said the time of death is estimated to have been 3-4 weeks prior to the body being found but said that was more an LE determination than coroner determination? Did I hear that right? Does this make sense?

Can anyone see where the little campfire was? I do not see any signs of it, but I am on an Android. Jmo[/QUOTE

Her feet were just past the fire ring. The cross is where her torso was and her head was pointing away from the fire ring. Most photographers focus on the cross so you cannot see the fire ring. From what I understand, there was the location where the tent probably was, then a few feet away the fire ring and she had likely come from the area of the tent to just past the fire ring.

Coroner press conference notes:

Cause and manner of death:

Stangulation

Homicide.

I knew it. Ever since we saw the police footage and she said he grabbed her face/neck.

 

[JudgeJoe]

By WY state statute, only COD will be released. CNN live…

 

[Katpaws]

Strangulation is a very intimate way to kill someone. Common in cases of domestic violence. If anyone still thinks some random psycho jumped out of the bushes and killed her, this should put an end to that. JMO.

Question about other bruising - "By WY statute no other information aside from COD and MOD will be released."

 

[Claire182]

Nothing, and no one has asked. At least not yet.

3/4 weeks from what I heard.

 

[Sunset]

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

I thought the same thing.

 

[kittythehare]

A one-liner press release would have covered that.

 

[carbuff]

It’s haunting to picture Gabby in the bodycam showing how BL held his hands over her mouth and throat area.

Yeah, from the time I saw that, I was pretty sure what must have happened.

I would have liked to be wrong.

 

[JenniD]

Coroner was asked time of death. He stated 3-4 weeks prior to finding body.

It’s haunting to picture Gabby in the bodycam showing how BL held his hands over her mouth and throat area.

That is exactly what I thought when he said the cause was strangulation. It sent a shiver down my spine.

 

[JuneRose]

that poor poor girl, it takes a while to strangle someone, i so hope they catch Brian soon..ugh

August 21 - August 28 is 3-4 weeks before September 19.

Yup. I think that's exactly what just about everyone expected.

 

[nocommoncents]

If he can do that, he's capable of a lot more than we've given him credit for here.

 

[dacjess]

Wow. I’m not surprised but just horrible. Strangulation takes time and anger
