Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #71

[pcap]

Let's say that BL is found dead. Two questions:

• Will we get a full report about what the FBI thinks happened to Gabby?
• If BL killed Gabby and subsequently died, does that mean he wasn't responsible for killing Gabby?

JMO

As for one: perhaps?
As for two: I do not understand the question.

Looked like a roll top food bag in the photos I saw, not clothing.

Looks like those kayaking dry bags.

If the parents planted his clothes wouldn't it be obvious? As in, the clothes would need to appear as if they’d been in and around the reserve and well lived in for nearly a month.

Fox10 news had a good shot under the tent. Looks like they’re setting things on the table. They just walked away under the covers of some trees, so I don’t think this body is UNDER the tent.

there is a white tent out there in a dense brushy/tree area. on cnn now

I know that this doesn’t give Gabby's family (or us really) answers, but this can at least come to an end of this is that coward. Her family won’t have to sit through a trial and relive what happened. And I don’t feel bad for his parents.. their silence to me has shown guilt. I would’ve been screaming from every roof top to find my son.

100% agree with you.

It's a dry bag. Roll up the top and clip it. Any person canoeing, floating, camping, etc...is going to have them Outdoor Products, 20L Valuables Watertight Dry Bag , Clear, Water Sport Bag - Walmart.com

Watching these live feeds over the reserve/park makes me realize what a vast undertaking the searches had to have been.

I agree. Many parents say sitting through a child’s murder trial is like losing their child all over again. Gabby’s family won’t have to face that. Plus it shuts down all the future attention-getting dramatics ie jailhouse snitches, protests, everyone else who’d be milking this tragedy for all it’s worth.

It’s just not logical that BL has been walking freely out and about all this time.

Just because somebody is dead now doesn't mean they didn't kill someone before they were dead obviously.
I would be surprised if we ever learn much more about what happened to Gabby. MOO

As interested as we might be, it's not really our business in the end. They aren't obliged to give us details.

I'll always be sad about the death of another human being.I hate what he did but I'm sad for the people who loved him if he is gone.

I do think we will get a report. We have seen that in other recent cases where the alleged perpetrator committed suicide.

For 2, if BL killed Gabby, he would still be responsible for her death in terms of "he did it" even if he's dead. In the Alexis Sharkey case, LE went to arrest her husband and he killed himself. LE released a statement that LE believes the evidence shows Tom killed Alexis beyond a reasonable doubt and they were prepared to prove that in court.

You need a live defendant for a trial so if BL is dead, there won't be a trial and that means there won't be a jury verdict regarding Gabby's murder. However, we will likely get to hear the state's theory and why they believe they have closed the case with the death of the prime suspect.

If he's dead, of course. JMO and all that.

I think way back when they removed items from the house I saw a gun case. I believe the case was empty and that is why they were so persistent in looking in the area he told his parents he was going. MOO

 

[Bertha96]

WFLA reported that the parents called LE last evening and told them that they wanted to go to the area, where the current activity is taking place, and that they wanted to search it. That makes me think that they had been in some sort of communication with BL and that communication stopped.
Also, WFLA reported that RL is at home and appears to be "dressed up." That's different from what we have seen previously. IMO.

 

[LAhiker]

I'm not sure I understand your second point. How does BL's status of living or dead have anything to do with his responsibility in whether or not he killed GP?

If he did it, he did it. He's responsible. MOO.

Exactly. That was my point.

WFLA corrected that the items found were "articles" not clothing. They mispoke.

IMO it's more likely that the water receding had something to do with the find. According to the attorney (who yes, IMO, isn't wholly trustworthy but still) they were with LEO. Unless they were particularly slick I don't think they could plant evidence without LE knowing.

 

[LietKynes]

As soon as they offer a apology to the Petitoes for not answering their phone calls or even trying to help find Gabbie.

Agreed.
It would go a long way towards healing the damage done to the Petito family; but then again maybe not ?
Still an apology for refusing to answer calls/texts would be a gracious gesture !

If it's Brian's remains, there will be no answers forthcoming; although LE could maybe try to reconstruct the events that may have led to Gabby's death, including any phone calls or texts sent from Brian's phone or her phone ?
IF Brian texted or called a confession of sorts to his parents, the Petito's would deserve to hear this -- as it may be the only closure they'll receive ?
Imo.

More FBI showing up.
