Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #49

Why didn’t the guy follow him? Did he call the police and give a license plate?

If that was Brian he may have already killed one person (jmo) I wouldn’t follow him!

Maybe this was a new plan for BL, not thought of until very recently.

I guess I just can't imagine a person on the run telling anyone that they were on the way to California (or any specific location).

I would more imagine them asking the way to Interstate 40 (or whatever route he needed), if lost.

Did the truck have plates? What color was it? Did the guy call LE right away? Every time I take a nap, something exciting happens, lol. jmo

Why didn’t the Davis guy follow him? Did he call the police and give a license plate?

I think he said it wasn’t till later that he made the connection, after he looked at some photographs of BL online.

I still feel his family is helping him. Some families will do this, regardless of the consequences.
All of this is JMO

Equusearch is probably still up there with their drones. May be up there this weekend in that area looking.

Let's all pray...

If it happens, I called it here first!!!

I'll be glad to give you a big Ya-Hoo and an Atta-Wiz!
Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate. Fingers crossed!

I think he was on foot if I understand article correctly.

I missed the TN. I've been dipping in and out. I have to go google this.

@Jurisprudence
The engineer said Waterville Rd in Western NC close to the Appalachian Trail. If you Goggle what I just wrote, you will have a good map.

More speculation...

Has he come up with a story about having amnesia all this time? If it comes out that HE texted Gabby's mom about Yosemite (in CA) from her phone, is he forming an "out of my mind for weeks" scenario? Kind of like Tony Perkins with his dead mother? As in, in his mind, Gabby is still alive and has made it to California.

Rambling but MOO and just had to put it in writing.

I'm curious if he knows anyone in CA, I don't think I've seen anything about family out there. Unless his ultimate destination is Mexico.

IIRC, the text about Yosemite was written : "No service , in Yosemite" with the comma being significant, no? Obviously GP was not in Yosemite but to me, the comma indicates a pause or break. Maybe it's not significant.

How hard would it be for BL to link up with some of his fellow barefoot off-grid friends who might have no clue they're harboring a fugitive? He seems to like his hammock, going shoeless, eating raw etc. BL could probably very easily wander back into the woods and be among friends who would help him to subsist in the bush.

This is going from Chris Watts to Israel Keys vibes.

I don’t know but I would be so excited I’d have to find a way to stay on his trail. Having protection on board would eliminate some of the fear.

 

[Lillymac]

I can’t shake the feeling that family and friends may be helping him avoid arrest. I believe the death penalty is on the table in Wyoming? Don’t know if I’m allowed to say this but I recall reading somewhere here that a grandparent lives in North Carolina, and something about Brian in a Camry there. Could people be helping him?

Is this the grand named Stan?

He said he pulled over to look up photos of Brian Laundrie. When he saw them, he called 911 and later FBI.

Stan is Gabby's grandfather.

Please take more naps!

I'm thinking of the old and perhaps sexist adage about men never wanting to ask for directions. Then I'm thinking about this early AM sighting. I can't imagine why someone would want to make up such a thing and put their real name out there (Mr. Davis) if it wasn't true. And I cannot imagine someone in their right mind doing this (this being pulling someone over to ask for directions to California - sounds like the beginnings of a sad country song).

So, that leaves me with four options (my MOO idle speculation only):

1. Mr. Davis made it up

2. Someone who lives in that area was trying to behave like Brian Laundrie (after all, the story is everywhere) for ***** and giggles.

3. It was actually Brian Laundrie and he's actually gone over the deep end.

4. It was actually Brian Laundrie and he was executing a carefully (rolling eyes) move in the same way that he hitchhiked in the Tetons. As someone else said, setting up an insanity plea of some sort.

I think a few recent articles and/or tips bear re-reading/re-visiting in light of the FL Engineer's sighting.

First, GP's friend Nikki's account of GP and BL's relationship and the episodes in which he hears voices... relevant due to the FL Engineer's account of BL having heard from his girlfriend. Brian Laundrie was controlling, had 'episodes': Gabby Petito pal

Now recall the 8/12 stop and discussions of their issues, her anxiety, his anxiety, etc.

Next, the increasingly aggravated BL, e.g. at Merry Piglets.

Next, the Tik-toker Welcometomeltalk who posted about the girls in the parking lot who saw someone looking like BL come out of the bushes saying he had lost his dog, and asking them to take his number. You'll have to search for her on Tik-tok, as I don't know how to link that here. She seemed to indicate that this person was "off." This was a little over a week ago in the Boone, NC area...

Finally, the CL Cassie interview in which she said "I assumed he was home, because that’s what he did when he was – actually, I don’t mean that." I'm not sure what she stopped herself from saying, but it gave me pause.

I think this article is interesting, as educational background that may or may not be relevant. https://www.health.gov.bc.ca/library/publications/year/misc/Psychosis_Identification.pdf

That's all I have. This is my first post. I hope it is within the rules. Please let me know if not.

Did not know this. Thank you.

Pretty sure it’s been ruled out as a credible sighting. JMO
North Carolina Police Respond To Claims That Brian Laundrie Is Hiding At His Grandfather's Home

“New Bern police officers collaborated with the Raleigh branch office of the FBI and four FBI agents who arrived in New Bern to further the investigation,” reads the email received by the reporter. “At the conclusion of our efforts, we do not believe he was, or is, in New Bern.”

The video posted by SKYline News reporter Chad Nesbitt was taken off Facebook as the claims appear to have been disproven, but the police in North Carolina remain vigilant despite that.

Well, , go back to sleep then and maybe they'll catch him!

From the article. If it really happened, the man in the bandana seemed to want to avoid main interestates:

The man believed to be Laundrie pulled his car up alongside Davis to ask for directions to California using only back roads and refused Davis’ suggestion to take nearby Interstate 40.
