Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #60

Parents basement as stated!

They don't have a basement. Do they? It's Florida.

I can't help but wonder if the hitchhiking was him attempting to run, but then he circled back, realizing that leaving behind the van and any evidence it contained was far riskier than just driving it home and concocting some story about them having a fight and him driving the van home while she met up with friends, etc. I could see him killing her, panicking/hitchhiking, and then feeling like he needed to return to the van to stay in control of the situation. He strikes me as someone who needs to be in control. JMO.

Is it possible that BL let after a fight, so he could punish Gabby, who was terrified of being abandoned by him? Then he hitch-hiked back, a fight ensued when he arrived back at the campsite, and then Gabby was murdered? Instead of burying her, he just hoped in the van and fled. Surely if he had killed her before hiking off, he would have had to consider someone may have found her body, while we was gone. Such a sad story. It teaches us all to watch for much more subtle signs of DV.

I dont believe homes in FL have basements.

I guess it doesn't matter how many times it is explained why there are no basements (generally) in Florida. That fact just doesn't accommodate wild theories that go viral, because for many, conspiracies are just more exciting than factual evidence. What a world...jmo

Florida is very unstable when it comes to building below the ground due to the whole swamp situation; hence basements are not common at all.

Google Earth history of backyard seems to show the beds are recent - since 2019. Seems the neighbors would know if they installed a bunker, though.

Wouldn't a bunker leak water in Fla.? I didn't think people could have basements there, for that reason.

Yes, that's what I thought. They don't have a basement. I think we all knew this lol

If that would be the case (hypothetically speaking), he would be (hypothetically) guilty for leaving her stranded in the middle of nowhere with no food/water/shelter all by herself.

Info fits the person that is my guess, as well. But I’m not seeing a name in this link. Did I miss it?

I'm not seeing anything here, other than business info - am I supposed to be seeing more?

 

[jjonez]

My guess is this one.
FORENSIC MEDICINE & PATHOLOGY PLLC · 6 Canyon View Dr, Sheridan, WY 82801-9008

Me too. i see it now. Must not have been fully loaded on my first view. Would love to find confirmation

 

[Kristin Esq.]

Who will be in charge of a murder investigation, if a charge of murder is made?

I believe the FBI would be in charge.

 

[CLGM]

I've added this link to the media thread - I'm wondering about the reasoning behind the presser - and believe they believe BL is in hiding and this will call attention to Gabby - perhaps even try to communicate with him in some small way? Otherwise, just release a statement?
JMO

Yes, am wondering if there's something strategic about this. Also, could it be that the FBI think that BL's parents hearing the manner of G's death (if that's announced today) might prompt to understand the brutal reality of what their son (allegedly) did to GP (as if the circumstantial evidence isn't already enough...), to know that everybody in the world knows what their son (allegedly did), and so, they finally decide to cooperate? JMOO I have no idea about LE strategy, but it's interesting to think about

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Finally! Some history… and an actual friend. Somebody had to know BL growing up!

Doesn’t sound like an actual friend to me....

Maybe it’s connected to the bunker under the raised flower beds.

are there crawl spaces?

Ted Williams: There is something 'very smelly' about Laundrie's parents' actions

 

[putnam6]

What makes you an outcast? Dirty? Smelly? Pick your nose? You must be wierd that others don’t accept you? Trying to figure this out.

Some kids are so insecure about their own hangups, they have to expound on other kids' hangups. It's always been around but it has become worse with social media.
Mostly though it depends on how proactive the school and its teachers are if they aren't on top of it.

There are, but he's not in a crawl space lol

 

[nocommoncents]

I agree. I don’t think who we are in middle school should be held against any of us.

I could see it factoring in if it carried on but the big change in high school reeks of puberty. I don't see anything that points to the school shooter type either but I was wanting to know his stance on guns so that was interesting.

The most intriguing things in this case are all the little things we can't grasp about GP & BL, and their families by extension. Is he the guy in the bar spitting contempt at the Republican gun owners or is he the outcast that's into guns? Is he the quiet guy in the background just trying to save the planet or is he the ragaholic screaming at hostesses and beating his gf? Is she the DV victim that you just want to save or is she the girl that takes off across the country going wherever the day takes her? It's so easy to forget that we can be all these things at the same time.

Absolutely. It's possible, if he killed her before hitchhiking, that the hitchhiking was a spontaneous idea to establish an alibi somehow (if someone found her body sooner, he could claim he hadn't been with her for days), but then he had time to clear his head a bit and develop a different plan involving driving the van back. Regardless, those hitchhiking sightings clearly happened at a time when the tension was high. JMO.

I find it interesting that Brian’s friend says he was into guns and had no interest in social media.

Brian Laundrie was a ‘chubby social outcast’ at school, says friend
Brian Laundrie was a ‘chubby social outcast’ at school, says friend

A "friend" does not publicly call someone a chubby social outcast. I'm skeptical of this relationship.
