The internet is unbelievable, man. YouTube vlogger spotted Gabby Petito & Brian Laundrie’s van while editing footage, reported it, police searched the area & sadly (but fortunately for the investigation) found her body. That was truly a needle in a haystack found by the internet

The needle was found because of the massive media attention & publicity.

So many other unsolved cases would be solved if they had the same attention.

Maybe, just maybe, cops aren’t the right people to be handling domestic violence calls…. my latest for @TheCut on the Gabby Petito case

But when police pulled over the couple in the now-infamous white van to investigate further, they came to a very different conclusion about what had transpired. After separating and talking with both parties — one of whom was hyperventilating, and one of whom was calm and jovial — they made the determination that it was Petito who was the abuser and Laundrie the victim. Laundrie got a fist-bump from a police officer and was told he did nothing wrong before being driven to a hotel for a free night’s stay. Petito was left with the van and made to spend a night alone in an unfamiliar place while experiencing an apparent mental-health crisis.

Thank you! If the vehicle was still there the 28th then IMO that was the day that Gabby died. I do NOT see him keeping the vehicle only 200 yards from her body for very long at all.
Yes the timeline is really becoming focused due to the eyewitness reports. It seems she may have died sometime on the 28th (MOO). :(

Something was up for sure. I can’t believe they would need it moved so badly that he would fly home . They were traveling across county it seems . And then oh I got to fly home to move stuff to storage. Very strange imo.

Was it ever said where they went camping at?
I haven't seen any proof that they ever camped away from the van (Not knocking that, I wouldn't either if decent hiking was right out the door).

While I get the frustration, I don't see how this is helpful for him to do this.

Right? I think he’s just being all extra to promote his show tonite about the case. To me, that’s just disgusting.

I do not believe it is 4-5 hours.

Merry Piglets, a Tex-Mex restaurant, between 1 and 2 p.m. on Aug. 27
Bethunes saw them around 6:30 on Aug 27.
I had the restaurant sighting time slightly off. So it's 4.5 - 5.5 hours
That better?

LOL. I'm in Western New York State... but, I'll say that those, y'know, 'downstaters' have a "directness" not generally associated with the balance of the state. Many times, it's refreshing.

Haha, yes I am probably closer to you. Where I live isn't quite WNY or CNY or Upstate, but everyone wants to have their wording. I just say "FingerLakes Region"

Not this New Yorker…or any of the New Yorkers I know (here, in New York)

WNYer here, too. I think people in our area are more likely to shut down this type of behavior than participate in it.

I also went to college on Long Island. I didn't notice it there, either.

I wonder how many of these experts on these panel discussions who are saying how LE should handle this stop also has expert training in how to handle an encounter with a special needs individual, or a wired crackhead, or a potentially violent person with an outstanding warrant, or a mentally disturbed person, or a potential drug dealer, or any other of the widely varying interactions they have with the public. I don't normally defend the police, but with what they are expected to be perfect at handling they should be the highest paid workers in the country.
I agree with that, though I still feel the police were far too chummy with BL, and can't understand how the 911 complaint that BL was slapping GP didn't seem to mean much to the police who stopped them (if they somehow hadn't heard a description of the complaint, of course, then that's different).

Neighbors saw him mowing the lawn and riding a bike “like nothing was wrong”
At this point, given the wild speculations around, maybe he/they didn't yet realize setting was THIS wrong. There are many gaps, dynamics, and possible variables. We know and have been told very little, so far.

If the neighbors account is accurate, this spontaneous camper shell camping trip the Laundries took would have probably been on Sept. 10th, 11th, and 12th. Gabby was reported missing on the 11th. According to the timeline (on page 1 of this thread), the van was seized from their home on the 11th also. So they weren’t home when this happened??? Is that right?

* The dates I’m using are based on the neighbors estimate of when the trip occurred. These are not confirmed dates.
And didn't, or wasn't there something about GP's dad having an altercation or incident on the 10th? I wonder if their dates are off a bit.

There's this!

"Schultz, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, told the Chronicle she saw the van parked in the same area the next day, on Aug. 27—when she found it odd that the vehicle was there but not in a designated parking spot, and with no indications of anyone camping. The van was there for “several days and nights,” she said, but there were no “signs of actual life.”

The vehicle was still sitting there on Aug. 28, she said, but was gone by Aug. 29."

I think that
the Bethunes noticed the van parked there on the 27th later in the day, so perhaps BL and GP had lunch at that restaurant and then drove to the Spread Creek area and parked the van?
I am thinking this too, but wasn't the other girl that spotted them on the same day said that he was driving very slow and it irritated her. Like he didn't know where he was going. He pulled over to the right finally and then she saw him move into the spot where the van was parked in the Bethune video. The girl said that he was alone or that there was no one in the front seat.

OMG I watched the entire loop with the volume turned up, and now I need to go bang my head against a wall.
Indeed, someone walking. Just don't turn on the volume!

But why not just throw the “provisions” into the flatbed? Why get a camper if it’s not for lodging of the absconder?

Campers are enclosed. They hide all manner of goods.

I sent it to JB Biunno on Facebook. I’ll see if he answers me back!

Amazing! I have been watching all of his live streams! Love that interactive format….hope it continues even after this case.

One of the last times Gabby Petito was seen alive involved an explosive argument between Brian Laundrie and wait staff at a Jackson Holerestaurant, according to a New Orleans couple who said they witnessed the spat.

"I have chills right now," Nina Celie Angelo told Fox News Digital Wednesday. "It's crazy because it wasn't just like we passed them on the street — it was a full blown incident."

Angelo said she and her boyfriend, Matthew England, were in town for a wedding in late August. They were out to lunch at Merry Piglets, a Tex-Mex restaurant, between 1 and 2 p.m. on Aug. 27, when they said an agitated Laundrie began arguing with a waitress. Four and a half hours later, a travel-blogging couple passed Petito's van at a campsite north of town.

If this is legit, the restaurant will probably have to give all security footage to the FBI. The staff will be more than likely be questioned.

Is there a source for that? Or is that your opinion based on her profile?

She put up a front page for a Van Life vlog very recently (probably when they were in Moab). A lot of work went into the front page design and future navigation - very up-to-date and modern. None of the videos she put up on Insta are linked to it, but I think that was the plan. She was working on it for 5-6 hours while at the Co-op in Moab (it has a kind of coffee area with wifi).

Sorry but IMO - these parents smell to high heaven.
