When LE were at the house and looked over the Mustang, an officer opened the trunk of the Mustang and took out what appeared to be an empty gun case. IMO.

After that, we saw LE wearing bullet proof vests in the swamp.

It's entirely possible that BL is dangerous, but there has been no alert from authorities. There's been no alert from authorities in many cases where known gun violence has resulted in murder (Kylen and Crystal's case is an example) and the perp is still at large.

I do not know why this is. I guess no one wants the public to panic?
Last night as I was sitting here posting a comment, several police cars were tucked all along a nearby road, looking for a guy on the run. He had a gun and just did something violent.

As the crow flies this happened maybe half a mile from our home, which is nothing. The people out here walk the power line easements and he easily could have ended up on our road. The guy had warrants and was an armed fugitive who just did something violent, and no alerts.

We're all signed up for Code Red and other alerts, and nothing. It's hard to understand.

Regardless of what the media thinks or even what we ourselves might think - this hunt for Brian is basically to save his life, hear his story and decide whether he's innocent of Gabby's murder or not. Though that might strain at credulity, its the truth. Although it might not seem so all the time, legitimately sworn officers of the law try to preserve, protect and maintain the life force whenever a human being finds themself in straits, a courtesy shown even avowed criminals thousands of times.

So, Brian's in bad straits, not because he's hidden so well by family, friends, associates, but because cracks form in even the best of plans and loose cannons are smacking their lips at the thought of spending that reward money. Consider the family's post murder activities. Circling the familial wagons. Buying time. I am sure, they never imagined the media camped on their doorstep, their neighbors allowing reporters to use their property for the purpose of spying on their every move, and stirring up vicious, unanticipated behavior from the public. Nobody plans for that. And now, a reward for their boy's return. There are cowboys out there, so dead or alive is on the table.

Brian's preservation as a living human being is job one. Capture is job two. And the Laundries should be ever grateful LE sees it that way. NOT turning Brian lawyered up and over to LE has opened him up to a very dangerous and at the very least insecure, paranoiac life unlike the one they expect. There are loners and then, there are REAL loners. Human beings completely off their chains and with allegiance to nobody. They're armed, legally or otherwise, and they want money or glory, or simply a good target shoot in the woods or a Walmart parking lot ten years from now.

That's the choice the Laundries made. A choice between the law with its myriad possibilities and outcomes or run, rabbit, run. If he is truly missing, they owe every soul searching for their boy a debt of heartfelt gratitude and a thank you they all can hear and believe. If they're facilitating his escape, hiding him, they're doing him AND those searching for him a grave disservice. MOO

IMO BL is currently armed and dangerous. I do not believe he acts alone and he has resources and is extremely dangerous. He needs to be caught.

The guy that saw BL on the AT was lucky. I think his goofball nature saved him.

If DD report was deemed a distinct possibility by FBI, then they are investigating, imo, if they know that it couldn't have been BL, they are not. If the person DD saw was BL, he is likely WAY out west by now. If it was a jokester, he may be in a local bar. jmo

Which leads me to believe if they were fighting before actually going outside it was not obvious to people inside.

On another issue, the fight at the mexican restaurant seemed odd to me. Witness said they were sitting right next to Gabby and Brian, heard Gabby apologize and heard Brian complaining to servers but could not hear why he was upset? If you heard one, wouldnt you hear both, especially if one was upset.

I wouldn't be tremendously surprised if Brian were either talking over the waitstaff, or if the waitstaff found themselves trying to talk over Brian, both of which could make the conversation into an inaudible muddle.

As for the breaks in between Brian coming back in to lecture them, it's most likely that even if Brian was yelling anything vaguely coherent (by no means does this seem a certainty), the staff was instead whispering about the problems, because I should think that for anyone remotely trained in customer service, the last thing the staff would want is for non-Laundrie, non-Petito customers to hear them talking badly about workplace disputes/other customers, even if said customer appears to be a few nuts short of an Almond Joy. I mean, who does?

And the fact that he didn't recognize BL saved him.

Someone taught me this in my beginning time here too. On the quote, if you hit the arrow on the left by the poster's name it will take you to the quoted post and you can then see what it is in reference to.

that won't work as poster copy & pasted from a previous thread

“And then he said, ‘My girlfriend and I got into a fight, but she called me and told me that she loved me — and I’ve got to get to California to see her.'”

“When defendants start talking, they always weave a little bit of truth into their lie. That much is true: They had a fight, he did have a girlfriend and she was out west. And that is very coincidental, so, that’s the kind of thing that would add some value to this tip.”

Goofball because he didn't recognize him, he gets his name wrong, he gets the name of road he is on wrong, etc. etc. and it just wasn't Dennis Davis' time.

IMHO, Gabby's mom wanted to keep the focus on the search for her, not on what, at the time, was a distraction from the search.

Gosh, I thought the mom had said this in just the past 72 hours. If anyone knows when she actually said that (and has a link), I'd sure appreciate it.

We discussed her statement all day yesterday, and most of us thought it was a new story. So if we're wrong, we need to get that into the media thread.

Exactly (MOO) and let's assume this is what occurred (that it is legit). 5 days to move boxes from a storage unit? (I say 5 giving benefit of doubt as 2 of those days being travel on the front and back end). People move entire homes in a day. Nothing about this adds up unless he was being vindictive, left and initially had no plan to return or; his parents or sister or he himself forced the break for a cool-down period. This in MOO. We know none of these facts. We may eventually though. MOO.

Length of stay could have been entirely decided by cheap last minute airfare arrangements.

Did you catch what date they'd need to return? This could be part of their ongoing fight.

The incident was resolved without an arrest - suggest reading the police report. They did not have a court date. They would have had a court date if both of them were charged - no telling when, but certainly not at their convenience.

If they were out of money, Whose Capitol One Debit Card was stolen? Dads?

Gabby had two Capitol One cards of her own. It's been discussed here several times and is in the media thread.

Gabby had been working at Taco Bell, 50 or more hours per week to save money for this trip.

My last post was aborted in the thread closure. The gist of it was to say that many keep posting that Gabby planned to meet Rose at Yellowstone on the 29th of august..........NO!!!!! Gabby was to call Rose on Rose's birthday, the 29th and they would make plans to meet at some later date depending upon their respective travel plans, possibly at Yellowstone. Rose never received the birthday call so no plans were made because Gabby was likely deceased by the 29th. IMO Gabby was deceased late in the day on the 27th. jmo

Thank. you. Those of us who have followed this case very closely would agree with you. I think a lot of us think Gabby's demise was on the 27th, after the Merry Piglet debacle.

Also, you are correct about what Rose said and I believe Rose confirmed it again recently. And Rose doesn't live near Yellowstone - she would have had to book flights to W. Yellowstone to get there on the 29th. Expensive. I believe it was more likely that Rose may have planned to meet up with them when they were closer to Portland, their trip end-point.

What Gabby and Brian planned to do after Portland is unclear to me.

Sell the van? Fly home? Drive back to FL by the quickest route?

Some FBI/former FBI on the Banfield show or some other news show I was watching the other day said that Brian is unarmed and not dangerous. I don't know if that was a leak of information by mistake.

It was former FBI. I don't know how he would know that.

Each call was checked out thoroughly and areas of concern, including parts of the Appalachian Trail, according to media reports, were extensively searched, but nothing was found, the Haywood County Sheriff's Office said in a Twitter post.

"We will continue to respond and fully investigate all calls for service related to the nationwide search for Mr. Laundrie within our jurisdiction," it continued on Facebook (that post is currently inaccessible because of the global outage

Yes, that is what she was trying to emphasize, she wanted people to move on from this news story and focus on the search, they would deal with this later. She was adamant about it, about moving on and finding Gabby.

I wish I could find the link to this MSM news article.

On another show this morning Dog appeared to be referring to another tip he had gotten and it checked out as someone who knew BL, he made it seem there were two different tips.

who knows though...
I thought Davis seemed very believable and if he had a prior connection that was in any way meaningful it seems Davis would have recognized him.
