Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #10

He has to be a suspect then. No way can they access his phone without that. They must have way more than we know.

His parents may have done him in. ISPs and hosts (like Google, Facebook) accept subpoenas related to criminal investigations OR missing persons cases. So LE may now have access to all of his records because he is technically a missing person lol no criminal warrants needed

 

[Coach]

I wonder if he knew that it was only a matter of time before they were granted permission to access the phones

 

[MsBetsy]

Both of their phones??? Physically I assume. I presume they didn’t acquire it from her. That’s interesting.

I'm not sure. It says they have "accesss" so it might mean they finally have the data. Imo

NPPD is drinking from a fire hose on this. I understand they are the lead agency, but they need help communicating IMO. I wish we'd hear from an FBI spokesperson. MOO not faulting NPPD, they are a very small dept, and need help.

 

[diggndeeperstill]

What do we think they mean? iCloud? Google?

If you subpoena Google they can give you GPS records down to what room in a house a phone is located if the phone is logged into any Google service. It's insane.

It takes months for that info- recent cases we were told 18 months.

Possibly the case. However, access to hers would show where it last pinged before going dead. That could be extremely valuable in her search.

But we KNOW he had the phone, as he sent the last text on the 30th. imo.

Petito, 22, last spoke to her mom over FaceTime around Aug. 25 while on a tour of national parks out west in a converted van with her beau, Brian Laundrie.
Gabby Petito's mom says texts might not be from her daughter

The mom, however, declined to provide the rest of the text from Aug. 30 (corrected). According to NBC, she sent a text to mom on Aug. 25th saying they were in the Tetons, and a snapchat to a friend on Aug. 27 saying they were heading to Yellowstone. For further context, a store owner said the couple was in her store in Victor, WY on Aug. 25 or 26. A couple said they saw the van at Jenny Lake in WY on Aug. 25. And Amanda Baker said she picked BL up in Coulter Bay hitchhiking. These areas are all fairly close together. Aug. 30th she was due to meet friend in Yellowstone.

I think that as a missing person, the police will be able to gain access to his phone via the telecomms provider.

In the same manner that they can gain access to Gabby's phone because she is a missing person.


(Don't you love it, this thread moves so fast that by the time I reply there are 5 exact same replies before this one. )

Sorry if this is a repeat. The forum is a bit wonky right now.

I edited my original post to include: "I think" that is the search aircraft for Gabby. I cannot confirm this search is 100% for Gabby.

Thanks, I'll correct mine also.

 

[CrimeDawg123]

Exactly. "Gained tracking access" is not the same as being physically in possession.

 

[Skigirl]

I think maybe the fact that he's been declared a missing person allows them to get a warrant for the phone records.

 

[bluwaters]

Josh Taylor just said a few minutes ago that LE does not have Gabby's phone.
They have tracking access, but not the physical phone.
It seems that the provider is cooperating with LE.

FOX31 reached out to the Fairfield Inn and Suites after FOX13 in Salt Lake City confirmed that was where she was last seen. All the hotel staff could say was, “Unfortunately, we’re not allowed to comment”.

We also reached out to the FBI in Denver to independently confirm where Petito was last seen and are waiting to hear back.

The hotel is located down the street from the FBI Salt Lake City office, which is less than 700 feet away.
Hotel where missing YouTuber was last seen is less than 700 feet from the FBI | CBS 17

That is the mother's opinion, but remember that she declined to provide the rest of the text.

I hate how this is worded!
They have their physical phones or access to the information contained in their phones?!

 

[vanlifelady]

I wondered that too but could they get access to his phone if he was classified as endangered missing? I know there is a big grey line getting access to cell records

Yes they can get access if he has made a credible threat. But again- that too is largely up to the discretion of the provider. I’ve had to call providers as a dispatcher for somebody threatening suicide and they would say “we’ll see what we can do but I can’t make any guarantees”. Trust me: your location is totally safe with your cell provider. They are difficult to get information from.
