said i can't leave her again fold over

MOO - he DID leave her AGAIN.
Alive or not, I'm not sure. Just haven't seen anyone pick this out of Brian's statement on the body cam. He has admitted he has done it before to her.

I heard “ she said I can’t believe you’re getting pulled over“

A lot of articles I’ve read say the police said he came back to Florida on September 1 with the van. Also his sister says the last time she talked to him was September 1, which is weird.

I could be getting things mixed up, but didn't his sister say she hadn't heard from him at all?

As to the other question, no, there has been nothing (publically) released that verifies he returned on the 1st.

Where is Gabby? This is such a crazy case and I'm so sad for her and her family.

 

[MsBetsy]

I see it!

I was doubting myself, thinking it's a reflection, but I've looked at it from multiple screenshots and it looks like a head/face to me, leaning on the window. It's not a reflection, it's clearly behind the glass. And then there's someone (BL) sitting behind the wheel in a white T shirt.

I also see 2 flipflops behind the van, not one. I see 3 bands - 2 bands from 1 sandal and then a third band which seems to be from the second sandal, as seen from the side.

MOO

I thought the couple said they didn't see anyone in the van?

That's also the hat she was wearing in the last picture of the Ogden visit.

There is a credible sighting to add to the timeline. The sighting of the van on Aug 27th at 6-6:30 pm, at Grand Teton.

Victor is in Idaho not Utah. Gotta love Media's lack of fact checking.

This is driving me nuts right now! I mean, I get that it's complicated but it's not THAT complicated. Just give it a goog!

Just a suggestion regarding BL’s parents bringing the car back. I know a bunch of people with Fords who have door access to their cars via a code and are able and do routinely lock their keys hidden in their cars. All they need to get into the car is that code. I assumed that’s how they got the car back vs just driving around with spare keys. I just keep seeing that mentioned and thought I’d speak up. I don’t think it’s important, I just didn’t think it’s strange they’d be able to access the vehicle and drive it when they found it.

Now I do think it’s strange they’d take off in it and leave him stranded but that’s a whole different thing.

 

[Waddles]

Lots of people seeing figures inside the van and yet the couple filming said it was dark inside and looked like no one there, and they apparently drove back the other way and it was still there. Surely they’d have seen if someone or two people were sitting in the front? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Cardinal47]

If BL went to hike Tuesday, why would his parents move the car Tuesday night? This is a self-proclaimed wilderness guy. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume maybe he wanted to camp overnight Tuesday in the preserve to clear his head and come back Wednesday? It seems awfully soon to move the car. Wouldn't they be worried that they were stranding him there?

I’m really curious if there are cameras on that parking lot where the car was picked up by the parents.
A camera would have picked up everything.
Into the woods. Into another vehicle. Parents dropping him off rather than him leaving it there fir them to find.
I’m thinking somebody knows a whole lot more than we do to go out and organize this expensive search on these parents word only!

 

[dtowndetective411]

Yeah I’ll bet her mom has more info than we do. Maybe they have pings or footage of him far away from the site, on the way to FL, on the timeline she mentions?

The video from the couple was from the 27th, so it hypothetically COULD have left that night. That being said, I'm personally leaning towards something happened on the night of the 27th or on the 28th. LE likely has video of BL on the way back at this point and can make some assumptions based on that.

 

[Harvath]

If he's not an idiot, it'll be off.

But he drove the van back to Florida, sooooo.....

Id add he’d be a straight fool to bring any electronic device with him(phone). Credit card/debit card. Anything that can be tracked has to go. Even a car or family car, or rental equipped with GPS. Nothing electronic.

And yes I know about the mustang. I’m just saying/ranting.

 

[Alkali13]

I thought the couple said they didn't see anyone in the van?

They did. They saw the Florida plates and, because they were originally from Florida, wanted to stop and say hi, but they didn't see anyone. Lights were off and it appeared empty.

Brian Entin's twitter has some good video ie this topic.

I thought I saw that the keys were left in the car.

So Brian left the keys in the car unlocked? If so,it could only mean Brian had no intention of comming back to the car.

Could someone reassure me that LE wouldn’t be out on a wild goose chase at this point? They would verify information they get from BL’s parents, right? I’m sure they don’t want to be on a National stage looking incompetent but BL’s parents seem to have made this really hard for them. If they don’t look and something happens to BL, they get blamed. If they do look and BL isn’t there, they’ll get blamed.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Haha I understand. It took me a minute. It seems to be easier to spot on the video linked in this comment. Not sure why. Pay attention to the black space indicated by the arrow. (It’s a crude one, I know )

ETA: Of course it didn’t include the link. And I can’t find it now. Sorry!

I played it for my son, first at the .25 speed on full screen, then at normal speed. He immediately spotted the white bumper uninterrupted by the black space where the gap would be, if the door was open. If it was a tree or a shadow, it was levitating above the white bumper

I'm not even sure it matters but I do think someone was in that van, and closed the back door as they heard another vehicle approaching.

I'm not seeing how people go "camping with just a tarp" in that region (cold at night, other reasons - such as predators). I guess one could fold it and use it like a bivvy (roll up in it). I've never seen anyone do that. 2 tarps (one strung over a string between trees and another to lie on), I've seen as part of beach camping.

Snipped for focus.
I wrote a post about using a tarp in lieu of a tent on Thread #13. In case not everyone saw it, I'm piggy-backing a piece of it on this paragraph of @10ofRods:

You CAN use one of those blue things for sleeping under, and some people do, but they get bulky after you’ve used them once: they’re impossible to get back into a nice tidy package.
There are a few things blue tarp users tend to forget when they’re going out imagining they’re going to use a blue tarp for a roof.
1. They need a second blue tarp under them if they’re going to sleep
2. They might need as much as 100 feet of rope.
3. In order to stay dry, they need a COLOSSAL tarp over them. Picture rain coming down. Some of it goes a little bit on the diagonal. Boom! You’re wet if you have a small tarp.
4. There’s no bug protection
5. Unless you have standing trees (i.e. not merely sticks lying around) a tarp-roof is the most hellish thing to erect if you’re by yourself.
6. A tarp sags. This gets really bad when it rains. It can sag right on top of you.
7. If the trees are too far apart, you either have to climb high to tie the rope, or you have to know how to jury-rig a pole to prop the rope up. This takes experience.
8. You usually need stakes as well.
9. All this makes a blue tarp a horrible backpacking/camping sleeping solution unless you have multiple people.

I could be getting things mixed up, but didn't his sister say she hadn't heard from him at all?

As to the other question, no, there has been nothing (publically) released that verifies he returned on the 1st.

This is sort of my recollection too (without going back). She stated she had not spoken to him - I had guessed this was on advice of counsel to protect her from any involvement, but I thought LE should have flat out asked her if she had even seen him to know he was present in the state. Still cannot believe LE let this (not seeing him with their own eyes) slide, even if he said nothing.
