Hey guys, good morning, so I've been thinking of the speeding/DV video. Putting aside LE needing more training in DV, I wonder how anyone could not spend more time with a young, extremely upset person. The one police officer kept asking Gabbie if BL hit her, then asking did he slap you. The whole time Gabbie, while crying, out of control tells the officer, as well as showing him where and how BL abused her. I do believe there was some physical abuse, but I believe the majority abuse from BL towards Gabbie was verbal.
 
That would make the most sense. The parents bought a one-way ticket to a European country with no extradition.
THen point to the reserves of Florida to keep LE/FBI busy wasting their time. (Just a theory.)

Most European countries only refuse to extradite their own citizens and/or when the crime that is alleged to have occurred in the United States is not actually a crime in the European country. It comes up in financial crimes a lot. But most places will extradite for murder since it is a crime in Europe, too.
 
The only official statement is in the search warrant where it states Gabby's phone had been "turned off" for approximately 15 days and the date of the warrant was 9/15. And BL came back to town 9/1 so math and behavior suggest 9/1 as the date of last ping.

I haven't been able to find anything official about the last ping from Gabby's phone. I have looked.
 
I am not 100% convinced of anything at this point, but I am leaning heavily in the opposite direction. I think BL may have gone to the Reserve initially, left some clues there, and then went somewhere else to hide. You make a good point about the tech and manpower heavy searches. But the swampy Reserve is pretty inhospitable and you have to ask yourself why BL's parents waited 3 days to report him missing, and why they took the car if they believed he was in there and alive. The car would have provided shelter at night. And I just don't get why the Reserve would be the place he'd commit suicide. If I knew what the dogs had picked up or what the searches have yielded so far, I might be inclined to change my opinion, but for right now, I am 80/20 that he's not there. MOO
I see all your points, definitely. But why do the FBI persist in the heavy searches there?

I agree. When you consider that they had earlier stated they felt they had exhausted the search there and then re-opened it, I'm sure there's a good reason why the search was re-opened in that area.
…and all of this money and manpower that has been thrown at this search that seems to be increasing daily.

I have to admit though, that there are times that I believe he is elsewhere.
 

has this been verified more than just the restaurant saying they’d been there? I mean the type of blowup by BL described it’s unlikely the restaurant workers would forget and seems even more unlikely they wouldn’t have already recognized and reported what occurred before influencers came out with the story. Although admittedly I suppose they could’ve reported before and just not known. Anyway, initially the restaurant manager said she didn’t recall any type of blowup by anyone and I just feel like it’s something that would’ve been remembered given how it was described.
 
Gators have territory. Males generally have territory as big as two square miles and are solitary animals. Chances are if one were going to take on a human (dead or alive) it would be a large male or large female within that group. It limits the number of possible "offenders".

Alligators are generally afraid of humans and aren't going to attack a grown male for no reason. There have been 23 fatalities from 1948 to current (73 years) in FL linked to alligators. And most of those have sadly been children or elderly.

In order to eat a human they either death roll them so chunks fly off (gross) or leave them to rot. In both cases bones are left behind. So they can usually "find" the nearest large gator and have a good idea he's the one that committed the crime. Offending gators are also often found with parts still in their possession (literally the shoelace hanging from it's teeth isn't invalid - but it's a whole leg) or being aggressively protective of their bounty.

Thank you! All answers to questions I had too! Great post! I couldn’t help but laugh though when you called the gator(s) offenders lmao! Great wording on that!
 
Something feels like it is going on at preserve. Helicopter was live ... sound cut and then they immediately left the area. This is last screenshot we captured before they cut off
Is that the shadow of one of those search vehicles with the big wheels on right hand side? I think that's a searcher in white with backpack, has his head covered in white too? Maybe they found something, evidence of a campsite or BL himself?

I've been all over the United states since my first experience (self employed). I fell in love after the first time 14 years ago after a traumatic experience spent 94 days alone in a wildlife refuge. I haven't been to the exact spot he is in but I've been to that general area and it's more difficult than most places in the states. The only place I've been too that was extremely difficult almost unbearable was South Carolina in an area the locals call the PEE DEE. Obviously difficulty is subjective but that area of the country is extremely difficult to me because of the weather, they have the extremely hot humidity like every other place in the south but then the next day it can be freezing cold with ice and then back to extremely hot. Very weird area
if you are talking about here in Florida, what ice?

Roman Polanski for example. Convicted of rape, fled to France who refuses to send him back for prison.
