Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #73

With how far away dogs can smell a dead body, I am doubtful of that scenario you put forth.
Possible but unlikely IMO

Do you know the distance?

 

[customCF]

Maybe the HRD dogs didn't get close enough. JMO.

It occurs to me that there is a slight possibility that BL sent something to his parents telling them exactly where he would be found, before taking his own life (if he did). Or they found something they missed earlier that gave them that information. It would explain

JMHO.

How would BL have done that without a phone? IF he had a phone LE could easily track any communication with his parents
MOO

i dont understand what everyne finds odd about it....its been under the water for days and days....there wouldnt be any fingerprints on it to begin with.

Well it certainly is covered in his parents prints now. If they didn’t touch it, they wouldn’t have been accused of planting it.

 

[Figuring]

Perhaps he didn't see the bag as evidence because he doesn't think there's a crime to solve. He only saw it as a clue that his son may be nearby....and probably at that moment knew for sure his son was dead. Who would think clearly at that moment?

That does make sense but another poster mentioned that LE likely would have instructed them not to touch anything if they find anything. I can kind of see picking it up in shock, but then wouldn’t they (or at least 1 of them) remember not to touch it? Jmo

Upthread somewhere someone else posted a link about cadaver dogs being able to smell a body under roughly 30 feet of water. Can also be smelled under ice apparently.
Can't remember who posted it, sorry.

 

[CocoTutu]

I just hope he relates all this on the notebook and it brings some understanding to this dreadful thing.

I think said notebook has likely been underwater for over a month.

 

[r131313]

THe FBI/LE wasn't wearing gloves either, I found that odd. Does anyone find that odd?

No.

 

[woods]

The internet will blow up if the human remains don’t actually belong to Brian..

Where they found a body & gear has been underwater.

Dogs can alert on bodies submerged in water. Also older remains will often float for a period of time. They had the dogs riding around in airboats and drift boats so maybe they just didn't get close enough. That or the remains weren't there the previous time the area was searched.

 

[kotis]

Seriously, what difference does it make if they touched the bag? What information does the outside of the bag have that their fingerprints will conceal?

 

[oc1234]

So, you find it, use your cell to call the closest cop, and wait there without touching it until they find you. Easy peasy.
MOO.

YES, there is even already a precedent set that they know how to phone LE when they wish to do so.

 

[Gemmie]

Wow! If this is BL, he may of just passed? That’s why dogs didn’t smell death?Did his parents know where he was all this time? Wonder if they will find hidden stash of supplies too? MOO

Or... somehow they have been able to be in contact (burner phones), and hadn't heard from him, and THAT'S why they decided to go out and search today. I posted many threads ago, surely lost in a 100 mph blur as the posts sped by, that it seemed odd that today, of all days, they'd decide to go out and look for him... on the day not only was some of his articles found, but also of some remains. That's just... odd timing. On the other hand...I've had the same sort of odd timing loads of times in my life. Not with a deceased person, but just very odd timing with various things. So, maybe they are just very in tune with their son and something prompted them that NOW was the time to go out and look.

Would love more info from the FBI. I wonder when we'll get more info to digest and discuss?

Hmmm yeah, no, would they really not have been accused? Maybe they had gloves in their backpack with the gallons of water they were carrying.

Where they found a body & gear has been underwater.

I think they're just now finding him because he's been under water. He was in there for days before he was even reported missing and the area got inundated with rains. I believe that's whey they're saying "what they believe to be human remains" & it's been clarified in many articles that this area was under water until today/yesterday when some of the water receded.

That attorney- quite a piece of work as a human being.Brian Laundrie: Attorney reveals why Laundrie family didn't initially talk to police - CNN Video

Yup. Nothing "fishy" about it really. The parents let LE know it was a popular area for Brian to hike, so then when the H20 receded enough the parents and LE were able to get a better look leading to finding the evidence.

 

[customCF]

I wonder if coronet can estimate remains time of death? Couldn’t father smell The remains when he found bag?

Hard to say about smell. I think it depends on how long the body has been there and what condition it is in now.
I imagine TOD will be quite rough within weeks I'd guess given that they describe it as "partial remains"

 

[simplemind]

Do you know the distance?

Somewhere between 40 and 1600 meters depending on conditions and dog.

 

[1bratmom]

Initially they told LE they thought he was in the Carlton Reserve. jmo

I was going to reply but the Laundries and LEO know the mustang was found at this spot.

Now I'm pondering that SB said he notified the FBI the night BL didn't come home from the hike, meaning the 13th. The Laundries find the car but leave the car on the 15th. Then, says SB, the FBI calls on Friday and "we agree to file a missing person's report".

With all that said the mustang was in the driveway when LEO came on the 17th. It was impounded after the 17th. So LEO a POI whereabouts unknown vehicle was found & moved yet they didn't even come look at it?

Lawyer reports client a person of interest in an active missing person's case whereabouts are unknown. Parents find abandoned car 2 days later, leave car. Return to the car and drive car home on a different day. Days later LEO shows up does a missing person's report. Then a day later impounds the car.
For the end to be the parents go a month later to the very spot the car was left, found, left again, then driven home and find sons body feet of the path from the parking lot.

This case is absolutely shocking. I am blown away.

BBM I have been trying not to think about this all day, but here we are. I'm no stranger to that smell and have on one occasion torn the kitchen wall out to retrieve a deceased lizard that was haunting our house. So do swamps smell so badly that one wouldn't smell a cadaver? And, what happened to the buzzards so many were sure would be circling? MOO

 

[passionflower]

With all the people that have searched that area, I'm surprised that nobody discovered that body or "articles" before.

Something fishy about how this went down IMO
How did ChL know where to go to find that white bag. LE was not with him. I have a feeling the parents knew where to find him, maybe they found him when they went to bring mustang home. MOO

Here's the video (long version):

LE is showing them images on his phone.

im sorry but I think it is cold and wierd that LE tells you that your son may be the remains found: yet no emotion, no tears of anguish no holding each other’s arms, nothing? JMOO

 

[kotis]

That does make sense but another poster mentioned that LE likely would have instructed them not to touch anything if they find anything. I can kind of see picking it up in shock, but then wouldn’t they (or at least 1 of them) remember not to touch it? Jmo

I really don't think under those circumstances I would remember my own name. But even so...if they were trying to hide something, he wouldn't have brought the bag out for all the world to see. Maybe I'm not very creative, but I can't imagine what investigation they might ruin by touching a bag known to be their son's.

I googled it.
