I doubt this. They just assumed he went for an innocent hike in the middle of a missing person case his a part of?

Surrounded by reporters. Yeah, OK. They may be digging a much bigger hole for themselves legally. Moo.

 

[cuffem]

This is what I'm thinking of too. If he left on Tuesday he could already be back in Wyoming. Either he went back to get rid of any evidence, or maybe he left her injured or she did "disappear" and hes gone back to look for her (my hopeful wish of her being alive still). But his behavior leads me to believe she is long dead. I wish he'd just give it up and tell everyone what they need to know. The parents too. I can't believe they're covering for him.

Not plausible

 

[bambibones]

a local hike? get outta town with that goose story, couldnt they come up with a better story then that?

We might be lucky here. Maybe he really is in the area - hiding in someone's boat? (MOO)

 

[Momma2cam]

Or maybe that's where they thought he was but found out he checked himself out.... That is just out of my butt though....no real reason to believe that

Ah, that's a possibility!

Gabby Petito missing: Protest erupts at Brian Laundrie's home; fiancé goes missing himself

Law enforcement officials have received hundreds of tips since her disappearance went viral but most have been false leads.

…

The North Port Police Department released a statement late Friday night expressing frustrations with the case.

“We understand the community’s frustration, we are frustrated too," the agency's statement said. “For six days, the North Port Police Department and the FBI have been pleading with the family to contact investigators regarding Brian’s fiancé Gabby Petito. Friday is the first time they have spoken with investigators in detail.

It is important to note that while Brian is a person of interest in Gabby’s disappearance, he is not wanted for a crime. We are not currently working a crime investigation. We are now working a multiple missing person investigations.”

5'5. No, I don't have a link. But I'm the same height, so I remembered it.

Here's your link: the missing person announcement from NPPD

They are probably all using burner phones IMO

Good point!

Brought over from the media thread...

BL's leaving the home scares me a bit. Hoping he is okay.
I can see where he just might want to get away from all that for a while. He's got to have a lot on his mind.
Hoping, too, that he will return and help the FBI find Gabby.

"Curiouser and curiouser," cried Alice...

Hi Borndem, please join us here in the discussion thread.

In the pics of them standing he looked a lot taller than her, I think.

 

[Jurisprudence]

will there be a separate thread on here for Brian; please do one

I think too much info will be lost that way. Do you not think the info and tips are best kept together? She is missing. He is not. He fled.

Ugh bad memories of the Boston Bombers….and I wasn’t even there.

no, not with covid. Many sa and ca countries have literally closed their borders to foreigners, and even to residents unless travelers want to quarantine for 10 days in a hotel with state sponsored health checks every single day. Id like to know which latin american country is easy to get into now? Covid is raging in peru, ecuador, brazil, colombia, argentina, venezuela is a mess. A guy on the lam would have to be very very savvy to cross border in unauthorized spots often dotted with land mines. Documents must be shown to even stay in a hotel or hostal or get on a bus. I dont think you realize how hard it is to move around with vaxx requirements, and required proof of neg pcrs within 3 days of travel.

I lived in Colombia earlier this year. It's super easy to come and go with an American passport. They dropped COVID testing requirements earlier this year. Security there is also super easy- if you saran wrap your bag before checking it, they won't open it. A lot of Colombians saran wrap their bags because security is known to "lose" things of value from bags. There are no health checks, no tracing, nothing...once you're in, it's pretty easy to move around. Also, flights out of MIA are under $200. There are so many places where it's easy to come and go with just a vaccine card and a passport.

4 songs were added to the playlist "Mtn tops," on an account Gabby Petito appears to share with her boyfriend Brian Laundrie: Many of the songs, collected on an account she appeared to share with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, focus on love and heartache.
"Your woman is your angel, is your left side, is your whole life; easily the most beautiful thing in the world," one song, Matt Berry’s "Woman," begins. "She'll soothe you; she'll accuse you; she'll confuse you; she'll lose you but always be the best friend you have in the world."

Another song, "Take My Hand," is about picking up a stranger at a bar. "The Badger’s Wake" is about a badger decomposing underground.

WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 8/25/21 *MEDIA MAPS TIMELINE No discussion*
ETA discovery of the van by Gabbys dad on person is questionable- he may have driven by and called LE (need to research this)

So nobody that we have confirmed has seen either of them in person since August 25.

As far as tracking POIs goes, North Port is easily missed if you blink while driving on the interstate. I doubt they've ever had a case of this magnitude. I'm more surprised that the FBI let him slip.

Quite a day legally speaking. Karma gives us a Durst guilty verdict and takes BL away to parts unknown.

Just wanted to bring this over.from previous thread to address NPPD, which dealt with a very important, high pressure case a little over a decade ago.

In 2008 there was an awful crime in North Port - a young mother was kidnapped from her home while her two little boys were inside -- her father was a detective with a local Sheriff's department.
Very quickly the area was flooded with helicopters and LE from multiple agencies.
She called 911 from the back seat of her abductor's car and a witness called 911 too, as she was driving she heard screaming from another car and thought it might've been a child in distress. At the time she was unaware of the kidnapping ,but the next day when she heard about it she called North Port PD to follow up- they hadn't received her 911 call /tip. It was mishandled in the 911 dispatch center. two days after the abduction she was found murdered.

Granted she was missing for two days from abduction to being found and everything that happened was very local as opposed to Gabby's case but this was a huge case for NPPD. It was incredibly personal and emotional as she was a fellow law enforcement's child.

 

[distracted]

I think he’s in the woods nearby.

 

[IzzyBlanche]

A question.

When is the last documented sighting of BL?

Not the statements of his family or lawyers. Where is the last place he was absolutely known to be seen?

A comment.

BL looks to me like a million guys of his age. If I saw him on the street I wouldn't recognize him because I see men of his age that look like him all the time. He doesn't have any distinguishing features as far as I can tell, and if he were wearing a mask because covid, well, unlikely to recognize goes to impossible to recognize.

For these reasons, I think he could hide in plain sight for a long time.

 

[Lillymac]

He is only 5'8"? He looked taller than that next to Gabby. How tall is she?

Does he have tattoos on both arms??

 

[feralwriter]

In the pics of them standing he looked a lot taller than her, I think.

Yeah, I agree. He looks so lean, thin.

Brian Laundrie was controlling, had 'episodes': Gabby Petito pal (nypost.com)
[...]

She said the two friends would share locations on their iPhones to keep each other safe “in case we got lost,” but Laundrie made Petito stop sharing once he found out.

“He had this composure as a sweet, nice, caring guy. But you could tell he’s a little off, a little weird. Like, he’d set up our hammocks when we’d go to the beach, but wouldn’t sit with us, which I found bizarre,” she told the Daily Mail.

“Brian has a jealousy issue,” Rose said. “I’m her only friend in Florida to my knowledge and that’s not because she can’t make friends, he just didn’t want her to have friends.”

“He was always worried she was going to leave him,” she said. “It was a constant thing to try to get us to stop hanging out.”

[...]

She said that the couple never fought in front of her, however she believed that she could tell when they had just had an argument. She said that within the first year of knowing her, Petito spent between seven and 10 nights at her house after they had fought.

“I do believe that their relationship as they kept going on was getting more problematic. It just seemed like there was more and more arguments,” she told the Daily Mail, adding that they had still planned on getting married despite Petito telling her mother it was called off.
