Update: Eagle 8 HD is over search crews in airboats. We’re also seeing at least one K-9 unit. Water has receded a bit too. Search appears to be progressing deeper into Carlton Reserve, perhaps into Myakka River State Park. The search for #BrianLaundrie presses on in Florida.

I agree with you. After the first body cam footage was released I had posted several times that he appeared to me to be calculated. MOO. But, since that time I now think the entire family is gifted in that dept. MOO. IMO.

Yes, i think if many of us look at our posts from a month ago after the Moab incident, which was all the info we had to go on, lots of comments that some of the outcome of that moab stop , was 'by design' and there was manipulation JMO. (but that's been discussed forever, just wanted to say i gotcha)

The talk about Gabby wanting to leave Brian I think is incorrect, imo. She was the one that was afraid of abandonment most. And when officers wanted them to separate it was Gabby that got most upset.
Per the second video, Brian was ok with it..... in fact after LE told them to separate is when I saw her the most upset:

35:00 She begs not to be separated.

So now I am agreeing with some of the comments here that his trip to Florida after Moab incident, might have been because he told his parents that it was beginning to get physical between them (both of them) and they needed a cool down period that they were unable to do on their own.

Brian ended up with scratches on his neck, nose, two missing pieces of skin above his right eye and scratches on his right arm. That is not nothing. And can't be denied. A little lower hit and his eye could have been damaged. And if he told his parents they would have been concerned. Gabby told LE that had never happened before, and that might have been the truth. Maybe Brian's parents also knew it might be out of character for both of them, but the escalation was entering a dangerous phase for both of them. I think Brian's trip to Florida was a time out.....but tragically and obviously it did not work. imo.

Respectfully disagree. You are likely a normal parent with normal kids. The parents of children like BL know what they have produced. They just don't want to admit it. I could give personal examples as well as examples of other cases but we're not supposed to do that. As far as the parents being charged: It's not what you know, it's what you can prove. They ran to a lawyer because they didn't want BL to be held accountable. Seen this over and over, everywhere. Yes, I know all about the Constitution and their rights. They have the right to exercise those rights legally but they are a huge moral failure. Not feeling sorry for them at all.

You could be right. No doubt there are some sick people out there. This forum is proof.
What drove me to this care was that these people all seemed to. We so Danged typical. Their not so bright, lost control son did a horrible thing and they don’t know what to do because never confronted with this sort of thing. Not like they have rap sheets a mile long like some who end up in this sort of predicament. Partly why his case has garnered so much attention

She stated to the officer in the Moab stop that she was trying to start a travel blog. The assumption is she was attempting to start a monetized YouTube and/or Instagram account and therefore the editing and uploading of the videos of her van travels was the work she was doing.

Thanks. I didn't know that. Also: there is no such thing as a monetized Instagram account.

Edit: I still think of this as a hobby. It's OK for us to disagree.

Soon after Schmidt created an account, so did Gabby Petito’s stepfather, Jim Schmidt, and stepmother, Tara Petito.
Gabby Petito's mother joins Twitter to call for justice: 'Mama bear is getting angry' | FOX31 Denver

In an interview with NewsNationNow, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg opined that prosecutors in Sarasota County are likely "not rushing" to file additional, more serious charges because of the various procedural rules imposed upon them.

For instance, Aronberg notes that all defendants in Florida are entitled to a speedy trial — meaning that once formal criminal charges are filed against an individual, the state has just 180 days to present their case at trial.

With Laundrie still at large, and the search for him ongoing, prosecutors are probably just waiting for him to be captured, Aronberg posited.

When asked if Laundrie would face additional, more serious charges, Aaronberg said, "I think it's coming," saying such a scenario was "extremely likely."

While speaking to NewsNationNow, Aronberg said that it was unlikely officials would release Petito's cause of death before Laundrie was in custody. He also speculated on the possibility Laundrie's parents may face arrest.

"They have done everything possible to incriminate themselves in the court of public opinion," Aronberg said. "But in the court of the law, that is different, because under the law, to be charged as an accessory after the fact, you need to know that Brian committed a crime and then, you have to do something to prevent his punishment or his arrest."

Just curious where she seems to "freak out" in the video relating to the separation? I have watched the footage multiple times and I see someone who is frightened/sad/scared - unless I missed it and its totally possible, but IMO I didnt necessarily see someone who "Freaked out."

She was , as you say, and embarrassed, too. I would have been crying, too. That is normal...not hysterical. Geez. jmo

it’s also possible that neither one told their family about Moab?

I think GP’s mother knew. She made a remark but pretty much dismissed the incident if I remember properly.

I’m not sure why LE would contact the ATC. I went into their office once. They were snooty. That’s my ENTIRE connection to the ATC. Word easily gets around on the AT . While current events might not be popular topics, fugitives certainly are, along with weather.

The National Park Service would be notified, they have jurisdiction, AT is a National Park.
Most "sections" of the AT are maintained by regional/local groups. They maintain with volunteers, raise funds for shelters, purchase property, clean up storm damage, etc.

This is my local group. Virginia has the largest section of the trail per state. Some sections of AT in Virginia was rerouted to avoid private land. There are many spots on private land with the original AT signs, trees with AT and arrow pointing the way carved many years ago, in the 1930s.

The NPS does post missing person, wanted persons and lost pets; at camping grounds, shelters and attractions. There is a bulletin board at Mabry Mill on the BRP, I've seen posts.

Moo...

Or not the whole story. Moo. GP was unable to hold BL accountable to LE. She was terrified. IMO Terrified of him derailing her plans for her life. Terrified of him ruining the trip, the postings, the potential. Her potential.
I do not think though she was terrified that he might also take her life.

I know, The embarrassment as I see it was in not following him before they charged him….it is not uncommon for detectives to follow potential suspects, not charged perpetrators, , put them under surveillance before they are charged, often stumbling upon evidence enough to get warrants and phone taps, and after all of that detective work, charge them.

THAT still gets to me. Here they are now following the Laundries everywhere when it was pretty danged clear BL was highly likely to have caused GP’s disappearance and no one was serving him at all!!!

I'm with you on the storage, @TheGardener. Makes zero sense to me too. MOO

Yup, that was where my mind was yesterday. IMO. I feel like it's the most under reported and least understood part of this whole gig. As you said, traveling for a family death, legit. traveling to pay 2 months storage fees (which i'm guessing you can do over the phone with a credit card), or even asking the owner for another month's use. But needing to fly home, leaving your somewhat fragile (IMO) girlfriend in an area that recently has had murders. To me this makes zero sense. I believe he was gone the 17th to the 23rd, very curious.

... As far as the parents being charged: It's not what you know, it's what you can prove...

I so agree with this. Spot on. MOO

No sign of search activity at the reserve this morning. Chopper going up soon and I'll post video from the sky -- but all appears quiet from the ground. I'll be back at the Laundrie house soon and go live here.

noticed an airboat with a dog on board in a swampy area of the reserve. So the search continues, just scaled back. #BrianLaundrie #GabbyPetito

"serving" ? did you mean, surveilling?

 

[x_files]

She almost got their Brian arrested. With her stuff back in the house, they save storage bucks and have the pleasure of kicking her AND her stuff out to the curb upon her return.
MOO

It feels like the parents liked holding power and control over others as well unless it was all BL's idea.
You'd think his parents would insist once there's a breakup it's how you behave that really counts. Have dignity and return her belongings. Treat her as you would like to be treated.
