It is a mountain range, thats why the trail is called the Appalachian Trail. There are plenty of places to backpack and camp in the Appalachian Mountains that aren't the AT.

Eric Rudolph, the Atlanta Olympic bomber, hid in the Appalachian mountains for 5 years, it is suspected he had some help, he also stole and likely did some nightime dumpster diving too.

Phew this thread is moving lightning fast!

After their attorney meeting, i bet they needed to talk privately. If they think the car and their house is bugged, it would explain a bizarre library pitstop.

That's true. Love your pic btw. Gives me the giggles!

No. All I do is push my credit card into the chip reader. That's it. I don't need a pin or anything else. When I buy things online, it does ask for the three-digit code on the back, but in person, no sir. Just like I said. I use it every single day like this , so I very well know how I use it. Stick it in, pull it out, get a receipt. That's it.

Same here. I can't remember the last time I had to sign in person.

Yep. IMO, the Feds are treating the parents as suspects.

As they should!

John Walsh on Hannity on Fox right now.

ETA-- I hope this makes it on a recording somewhere. Interesting info.

When did picking up hitchhikers become safe and acceptable? Maybe I’m old at 53, but we grew up with the teaching that not all were bad but some may be, so best to ignore them for your own safety. I know; unrelated to the case at hand but now we have two women who have picked up a male. Curious if the younger generation is oblivious to danger!

Idk, I'm 33 and that's always been a big ole heck naw from me.

His looks seem so changeable. Clean-shaven, he looks very different to me. I think he will be difficult to recognize.

Yes. Clean shaven with a hat, he looks like a different person. And we're used to seeing him in T-shirt and shorts. Add a jacket and long pants for the cooler weather which will be coming, he may be difficult to notice.

 

[AlwaysReading]

I wonder if he hitchhiked up to the showers/dam area earlier in the day? Or would he have walked?
Now that we have two witnesses saying he hitchhiked back to Spread Creek - it has me wondering if he hitchhiked both ways?

 

[borndem]

Capital One debit card and PIN number to access 2 accounts.

Damm. Two accounts. SMH. Her hard earned money, and he was just slammin' through it.

I feel sure those accounts are locked now, and the banks (at least mine & surely all of them) show the date, amount, and location of the transaction. Road map anyone?!

Looking forward to the reward being upped to $50K.

A second woman has come forward with her tale of picking up a hitchhiking BL, later in the evening of the 29th, after he abruptly got out of the other car he'd hitched a ride in (when he found they were going to Jackson Hole.) she drove him back to Spread Creek as it was getting dark, but he refused to have her drive down the road, and jumped out of her moving car... Brian Laundrie manhunt: Woman in Wyoming says she picked him up hitchhiking

 

[Caring4Many]

You guys will correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Brian's lawyer the one person with whom he could be staying? imo.

You just made me wonder if maybe he is coming down now for the winter. Maybe he has a second home in Orlando where BL has been. But can lawyers legally do that?

It looks like the have wifi for visitors. I found this on the Orange county library wifi rules.

"Yes. Wireless access is available to all visitors during the Library's normal hours of operation. Select "OCLS-Guest" as your wireless network to gain access."

Why would they need wi-fi? I'm assuming they have internet at home. If they're emailing him, the message would be on their account and their phone/device in either scenario. Same if they were calling him. The only benefit to the library would be using a computer that wasn't theirs, but having it public knowledge they were there and most libraries would require your library card to log into a computer, so they would be able to find out everything they did. Then again, they may not have realized this.

Brian Laundrie manhunt: Woman in Wyoming says she picked him up hitchhiking

EXCLUSIVE: A second woman has come forward to say she gave a hitchhiking Brian Laundrie a ride in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on Aug. 29, two days after Gabby Petito was last seen.

Norma Jean Jalovec, a seasonal Wyoming resident from Florida, told Fox News Digital on Friday that after seeing Baker's TikTok video, she realized she had also picked up Laundrie on Aug. 29 and dropped him off around 6:30 or 6:40 MST at the Spread Creek dispersed camping area, where Petito's remains were discovered weeks later.

Jalovec said she spontaneously decided to visit a Catholic church called Chapel of the Sacred Heart in Grand Teton National Park that Sunday for its 5 p.m. MST service. The church is about 1.2 miles from Jackson Lake Dam, where Baker said she dropped Laundrie off after he "freaked out" and asked to get out of the couple's Jeep.

Jalovec said she picked him up around 6:15 or 6:20 past the dam on a stretch of road toward Spread Creek. He was walking backward and holding out his thumb, like so many do in that area of the National Park, she told Fox News.

"I picked him up…" Jelovec said. "… Something just said, 'Hey, ask him where he’s going.'"

Laundrie, who sat in the passenger seat of Jalovec's 4Runner, asked if she was going to Jackson. When she told him no because she lives in the opposite direction, he asked her if she'd drop him off at the Spread Creek dispersed camping area, which she agreed to, Jalovec said.

Spread Creek is about a 20-minute drive from the dam.

"Everything's legitimate. Everything's corroborated. I already talked to the FBI," Jalovec said, adding that she didn't realize she had given a ride to Laundrie until after she saw Baker's TikTok video and emphasized the important role social media has played in helping to solve this case.

Jalovec described having the same small talk with Laundrie that Baker reported in her TikTok. He told her that he spent time hiking near Snake River and that he had a fiancé. He told her he had seen elk and moose but no bison, and when she asked him if he needed any gas money, he said no.

On the ride to Spread Creek, Jalovec said she took a sharp right turn, causing a Bible on her dashboard to fall onto Laundrie's lap. He picked up the book and put it back on the dashboard.

The 23-year-old asked Jalovec to drop him off at the gate of the remote campground, which has a single dirt road that extends miles to various camping sites in the area; at 6:30 p.m. MST in August, there would have still been some daylight to see into the camping area. Jalovec responded saying she could drive him inside, which is when he tried to "get out of the moving car," she said.

Jalovec said she joked with Laundrie about wanting to impress his fiancé by hiking into the campground rather than hitching a ride, but he only responded by insisting that he be let out of the vehicle.

Maybe I’m just tired but a lot of this made no sense to me. It’s like the dollar tree version of Baker’s story. /JMO

All libraries have free public wifi. Using public wifi isn't the same as checking out materials or scheduling computer usage.

Yea don't most libraries require you to sign up and get a library card before you can even get on a computer. Or at least it has been in the libraries I've been in

 

[Chrissy1958]

No, there's nothing odd or suspicious about their behavior. Nothing at all.

MOO.

 

[Jessthinkin]

Exactly. How do we know what types of cards got used? It is in the indictment?


Right. That's what I've been trying to say.

Here's the info on the bank cards. PINs are generally required for cash withdrawals, is my understanding

[wasnt_me]

It was a Capital One bank debit card. Pretty sure those require a PIN to withdraw cash. It's different from purchases. https://twitter.com/mostwiselatina/status/1441183116182253579?s=20

That sounds like he used her Pin on a debit card, but "obtain things of value" could be cash or it could be, for instance, gas. I believe do have to use a pin to get cash at an ATM or maybe even for cash back. I don't really know because I haven't done that for years. I don't deal in cash ever. It could also be that he didn't need to use a pin to get gas, but he did need to use it to get cash from an ATM. IDK.

She says her bible fell in his lap and he picked it up and put it back on the dash... im sure they can confirm or debunk her story with fingerprints off of the bible or DNA from the seat? IMO, of course

I believe that the police took all their computers.

 

[annpats]

I’m shocked by how many people are willing to give a stranger a ride. MOO

I think maybe out west in these well worn tourist routes, with a lot of people in camper vans and RVs and tents, there is probably more of a hippy, laid-back helpful kind of vibe.

A kind of 'kin-ship' with your fellow traveller, who is doing the same routes and you.

Plus, people are on vacation, they are happy, their guard is down, they are in small, safe little tourist towns.
They don't feel the danger as they would back home or in a big city.

After their attorney meeting, i bet they needed to talk privately. If they think the car and their house is bugged, it would explain a bizarre library pitstop.

Maybe it was exactly that: a pitstop. In most libraries IME you can't speak loudly. If you were having a powwow with an attorney about your son being wanted by the FBI, the whole library would be all ears! Nope, no privacy!
I actually think they might have gone in there to email BL. They might have assumed an email from a library would be hard to trace, but if you recall from the gruesome murder of Cornell-Duranleau a library contributed to catching the perp and his co-criminal.
Professor killed boyfriend as part of sexual fantasy, prosecutors say

The professor-perp wants to go to trial. This will be one of the grossest murders to follow on WS IMO, maybe ever.
