Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #61

[Bree1950]

The Coroner did mention that many others died during this time from domestic violence and didn’t get media attention which he said may be due to her having a blog. So…. to say this he must feel it was BL or something like DNA makes him believe this but he can’t give any specifics. Strangulation is a close contact death! Now, it makes me shiver thinking about the Moab cop asking if he hit her and after talking about the cheeks being squeezed, in the first released video she put one hand across her neck and said like this and then tears came!

Oh wow. Gross.

Yes, why doesn’t he just say the first part, a statement of condolence about Gabby.

Someone hacked my name on the coroner's chat and asked horrible things I'm told. That wasn't me.

OMG! Probably someone related to BL...

Now I’m waiting for the FBI to upgrade charges for murder.. especially since the lawyer wants to come out with that comment.

 

[justaparent]

Did they say if it was by his hands or did he use something?

He could not answer that question. Not allowed.

It was in the chat section where questions were typed.

If he is "only" wanted for charging $1K+ on somebody's charge card, why not have your client come forward and pay his $1K debt owed, and face that punishment?

Because he, like his BL's parents, likely have no idea where he is, despite the persistence of speculation here.

Legal eagles, @Alethea and friends, and LE among us—-
I’m looking at the WY statutes on coroner’s reports, and it reads to me (ETA: I am not in a legal profession) as though coroner’s reports are public by request. Am I missing something?
2020 Wyoming Statutes :: Title 7 - Criminal Procedure :: Chapter 4 - County Coroners :: Article 1 - In General :: Section 7-4-105 - Confidentiality of Reports, Photos and Recordings; Exceptions; Penalties.

To whomever asked.....my computer is belching here BUT the hyoid bone is a U shaped bone the fractures. TO MY KNOWLEDGE both sides do not have to be broken in order to have a conclusion of strangulation. MOO,MOO!

3 days in August...

So 28th or 29th. That narrows it down. When was the video of the van shot??

8/27

Strangulation. It's undoubtable. Just horrible. RIP Gabby.

My heart skipped a beat when it was confirmed she was not pregnant.

First, I felt deep sadness that Gabby was not and never will be a mother. This is something she clearly hoped for.

Second, I was relieved that a second soul was not murdered and that Gabby’s boyfriend was not a father for her child.

Third, I was a bit surprised that this information could be revealed when so many other things weren’t. Perhaps because a fetal demise would be considered a second life/autopsy to be performed.

With strangulation as cause, I'm now thinking charges may include premeditation. No wonder BL took off. Just MOO.

Some people just have too much time on their hands. Shameful.

I’ve stopped posting for a while and took a break from these threads… but omg finally, as we all now know, we have the details of Gabbys death. She was strangled.

This makes me so angry when I think of everyone that victim-blamed her, after we have her on video showing Brian grabbed her by the neck. And in the end killed her.

I need them to find <modsnip> And charge the parents too.

Laundrie attorney making another feeble attempt at reputation management.

Right about now, Laundrie parents probably frantically looking for an actual competent criminal attorney

 

[SuperTmo]

I wonder if he left her body in the van while he was hitchhiking around, thinking she would be found. He created his alibi by telling the people he left her at the van. But when her body wasn’t found, he then tried to hide her and took off in the van. I hope there is plenty of evidence her body was dead in that van.

 

[LRinCA]

Her "demise"...he couldn't...wouldn't call it what it is, her homicide...her murder.

The word demise makes it sound like it's somehow her fault...or perhaps more accurately, no one's fault, which is exactly what he's aiming for with that text (IMO/MOO).

I feel a bit disappointed that the TOD couldn't be narrowed down a bit more than as three to four weeks as stated.

When/if this goes to trial we will know a more precise time of death. For now I would bet my life on them sitting on that for tying BL/whoever to the crime.
