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

Well, they believe SOMETHING is there... 'cuz I don't believe they just thought to take a casual hour of circling to build up a dinner appetite...

Skateboard was given to Brian by a couple on August 10. They chatted with Gabby and Brian for 40 mins.

I was responding to someone asking the question of why he would have one on a trip to where they were.

What are your opinions why his parents haven't gone on TV asking for him to come home? It seems LE often uses family members to make emotional pleas in situations like this.

MOO it is because they have not been cooperative from the start.

Until this post, I hadn’t seen the postcards. As you say, it truly brought it home for me, that this lovely young woman was murdered, after she put the effort in to include Brian’s nephews in her travels.

Her personality really shines through, the way she wrote to the kids on their level, sketched some huge rocks and inscribed their names on them, and told them she missed them. Obviously no one deserves to be murdered but she seems like a loving family person. What a loss.

If he is alive and arrested I would like to know how he’d explain himself to these children.

she reminds me of my children’s elementary school teacher. Just full of energy and possessing a big heart!

According to Gabby's girlfriend (article posted backthread) Brian was a loner who had no friends. I felt at the time this might be a somewhat harsh judgement, but now...with no one coming forward or no one researched out by the media--I believe it is probably true.

I remember seeing a picture on his Instagram of plants and the words “some of my best friends” across the photo. I don’t think he was much of a people person, moo.

I guess rock or hyoid? I can't think of other causes right now? Edit: knife marks on bone...

100,000 percent. Why??? Seems like a lame excuse to deal with a storage shed. Either parents foot the bill, move the stuff to someplace else, pay someone to move it. . . another weird thing.

In the end, IMO this will be an important link in the story.

The cost of the trip would probably pay for a storage unit for a year.

What did GP do during this week? It doesn't look like there were posts on social media. I would think that if they were really producing a social media story of the trip, this would be part of it. A setback in schedule, that was made into the story.

Was this a cool off time for BL? Did he come back to Utah with anger? What did he do, other than the storage this week?

If I had to come back to clean a storage, and my wife or spouse was stranded in a hotel. I can't see it being a week. The cell phone records would tell a lot. Where they talking, etc?

 

[Jeging]

I got a question. When the North Port police held their first press conference (around the 15th), they said they knew where BL was, but they wouldn't identify the location. With all those people and news media standing outside the house, were there any confirmed sightings of him at or near the house from the 1st (when the van was first sighted back at the house) until the 14th (which is the day the parents said they last saw him). Might it be that the police did not really know where he was but were saying they did for strategic purposes? If so, what would be a strategic advantage of saying they know where he if they don't?

 

[Keyedin]

my guess is he would be able to hear the helicopters and figure it out but i could be wrong

I guess assuming he's in the area, surely he would hear it. I guess if he's not and is staying off the "grid," he might not hear them. I mean, I really think the chances of him NOT knowing what's going on, given he's alive, are slim to none.

 

[Ray_of_hope]

I don’t know how I feel about that statement.. possibility it’s NOT her???

I'm guessing that the attorney means once Gabby's body is returned home to her family.

 

[indycindy]

My Local news here in Indianapolis said that preliminary results show that it definitely is Gabby

They sure are hunting him like a murder suspect and not a "person of interest" as MSM says he is.

Can't remember a manhunt this huge for a "person of interest".

 

[milkshakedonkey]

So they said this morning this is a criminal investigation. Now we have homicide determination. He's still a Person of Interest, but is he still considered just Missing? I'm just curious if finding him means dropping him off at his house like they said before. Surely not?!

 

[PetDetective]

I believe it has been transcribed.

Thank you! Alright then, anyone have a link to it?

 

[CrimeC243]

Would it not just be easier for him to hand himself in?

Well, they believe SOMETHING is there... 'cuz I don't believe they just thought to take a casual hour of circling to build up a dinner appetite...

Maybe they've determined someone WAS there, but no longer is, or they're making sure the someone is not concealing themselves.

 

[zucchinibread]

Um… I’m going to guess they have PLENTY of evidence at this point. Definitely enough for charges of some sort.

There's no evidence to file charges against him right now.

 

[zoomom2]

I


absolutely second this. My interest is hopes of helping not harming.

Yes. And remember the Caylee Anthony case? We were even googling the Body Farm to figure out how long she could have been there (since her mother was lying about everything.)

 

[diggndeeperstill]

There's no evidence to file charges against him right now.

I don't think we know that for sure. There may be reasons they are holding that back.
