Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #33

<modsnip> I’m trying to figure out if BL and GP made a fire to cook some dinner and planned to sleep in the camper that night since it was down to about 60 degrees in the evening and 40 at night.

If he killed her the evening of the 27th, which I doubt, because in the van video where the door closes, it looks like her shoes are there, I think she was alone and that’s why she hid. Smart girl to not let strangers know you’re by yourself. She might have also been worried about talking to any one since he was so possessive.

Also, since BL drops off the map on the 28th, maybe he was psyching her out by staying away on the 27th evening but watching her from afar and he made the fire. Then he returns later that night, she’s furious, he kills her and takes off hiking/hitching rides before coming back for the van.

This is all speculation on my part. Thanks for reading.

GP's shoes might have been by the van because GP ran barefoot to escape from BL. Then he ran after her, caught up, and killed her. On the spot where she was found. It will be interesting what the autopsy says in regard to whether she had shoes on.

IMO It's unlikely they had a fire. They weren't in a legal camping spot, and they'd attract attention.

If the couple was relying on a fire for cooking (I have no idea), this would likely cause conflict (because it's so much work, and you might have to wait around) and entice them to rely on restaurants for meals.

Pro tip: use a gas stove for camping.

Ford started installing their GPS system (Sync) in vehicles in 2008. IMO that Mustang looks significantly newer.

Jus speculatin', but I venture to guess that when BL is apprehended (and he *will* be...*soon*), those matching bracelets are going to be a mighty tight fit. Just special like, for him.

Amateur opinion and speculation

False alarm.

I wonder if someone called in a false sighting of him at the house.

I haven’t seen a retraction - has anyone? I’m aware that her stepdad also left a cross apparently.

I’m glad to see our members checking out page 1 of each thread !

“Gary Rider, a friend of Gabby’s stepfather Jim Schmidt, said the pair had visited the site on Wednesday and that they had left some flowers next to the other cross.

“We did go – the small cross with flowers was made by Jim and myself,” Mr Rider told The Independent.

“That larger cross was not done by anyone connected with the search or recovery of Gabby.”

Mr Rider, who organised a GoFundMe campaign to help in the search, added: “It was just a coincidence, we confirmed that.””

They just rolled up, surrounded the house fairly causally (imo), two knocked on the front door, then left within minutes.

Any opinions on why they would've surrounded the house? In case someone runs?

Okay I'm confused. Are they saying there was another camper there and not the van nor the camper shell? I guess I'm totally lost then.

There was a camper and Gabby's van. I was a bit confusing. Sorry about that.

Awww they gave JB a bracelet!

Anyone else feels like JB is family from how much we’ve seen him in the past weeks? No? Just me? Ok, then.

Scanners were apparently saying a call had been made that he was in the house, my heart can't take much more

If that was the call, I would hope they would do more than show up and go, "He's not here? Darn, got us again!"

6:45pm NPPD received a report of gunshots in the area of Brian Landries' home from unknown. No injuries are reported. Right now, no evidence any shots were actually fired in the area. No reports from the large contingency of media who were standing outside the home, either.

There's a document called a "Motion for Detention Hearing" on the docket asking for it to happen after a three day continuance. Dated 9-22-2021.

What does this mean? Is this hearing just a formality? Thanks.

Yes but it’s kind of putting the cart before the horse because he has not been arrested yet. It’s basically saying he will be detained, no bond, bail or OR because of the crime committed and because he is a flight risk. He will never see the light of day again.
