This is getting more and more interesting. According to this quote...apparently days after BL left for his hike, his parents finally checked their guns and discovered one was missing and THEN they notified police that BL was missing "immediately." This means they found the gun missing Friday and then immediately notified police. So, although BL had been gone since Monday, they only discovered the missing gun on Friday...Hmmm...
Meanwhile we have SB saying he told the FBI that BL didn't come back from his hike on Monday and the NP police were constantly watching the Laundrie house since Sunday thinking BL was in there.
Good post. Thanks for the reply.
BL returned to FL on Sept 1st.
GP is reported missing on the 11th.
BL is last seen alive on the 13th.
BL is reported missing on the 17th. When the Laundries realized their pistol was missing.

It's so bizarre. In the beginning, IMO, when we first learned about the Laundries not returning the Petitos' texts and referring LE to their attorney, we imagined them as scheming and in control, helping their son escape and bankrolling the entire process.
Now we have to ask ourselves why the Laundries didn't respond to this crisis in a more proactive and immediate way?
For example, they had 10 days to get their son across the border, to evaluate his mental health, to get their guns out of the house, to take some action (right or wrong) to help Brian's situation, but yet they did not act.
It's a huge shift in our perception to see them as a couple in the dark, a little bumbling, trying to figure out their new circumstances, and slow to realize the truth about their son. (MOO)
I know people like that. They would not realize their house was burning down until the firetruck pulled into the yard.
