Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #68

[Allabouttrial]

what if it's accurate that she had no friends left other than Rose? Maybe it's a good example?

maybe he was controlling enough to want Gabby to limit contact with her only friend?
( only link I have again is Rose Davis saying that GP contacted her on BumbleBF to say she had no friends - since she moved to Florida)
Gabby Petito's best friend claims Brian Laundrie was jealous and controlling | Daily Mail Online

I see that it could be a very good example, if that is indeed the case that Gabby didn't have any other friends in Florida.

I would have to read the article again, but I'd be interested to see when Gabby said this. Could it have been when she initially reached out on BumbleBF? Maybe since that time she'd made more friends or was it still only Rose, I wonder.

I'm going to throw this out there and it may have been discussed, if so, forgive me please. We are all basing the idea that Brian flew from SLC to FL on three things: A note scribbled at the top of a sheet of paper (by uncle allegedly), CaL's admission (which is now in question for some), SB's tweet (which is also questionable, by some). So what are the chances BL drove the van to FL on the 17th? He could definitely do it and drive back in 7 days. Maybe they used the van to move contents of the storage "locker"? That would explain where the van was and why Gabby was in a hotel room for a week. MOO

EDITED to add: That could be when the "Venice" bumper sticker became relevant enough to place on the back of the van.

Oh my gosh, you’re giving me more to think about. I’ve not even begun to delve into those stickers yet. I couldn’t understand why Abby was in the hotel either.

“Brian flew home to Tampa from SLC on 08/17 and returned to SLC on 08/23 to rejoin Gabby. To my knowledge, Brian and Gabby paid for the flights as they were sharing expenses,” the statement said. “Brian flew home to obtain some items and empty and close the storage unit to save money as they contemplated extending the road trip.”

August 25th: Petito called her family and told them she was in Grand Teton National Park.

*eta: so does mean that attorney was aware on 9/17 that Brian was using Gabby’s credit card (a felony?)to pay for those flights?

Yours is a very important post. *No one* should be harassing BL's parents, and LE should disperse that crowd. If for no other reason, they are disturbing the peace for the other residents in the neighborhood. The L family should board that home up, hire a security guard to watch it, and leave. Perhaps at some time they can move back in, but who knows when, if ever. The mere fact that they are staying there is seemingly a nose-thumbing act, and just fanning the flames.
Even CL mowing the lawn seemed nose thumbing. He could have had someone else do that. What's wrong with these people? My opinion only.

Amateur opinion and speculation

I agree with that too. Makes no sense to me why they're still there.

Rose is an interesting character, for sure...but if we look through Gabby's social media accounts, it is clear she had other friends in her life. (Takes some poking around)

Most have made their accounts private now, maybe the FBI has requested that or maybe it was chosen for other reasons. And heck, maybe social media isn't a good reflection of having friends, at all, and it just appears that way to me. MOO.

Thanks. Are they the NY irl friends of old or online only friends do you know?

( I just edited my post before I saw your reply, to add this quote:
'Her friends from New York were bullying her when she got with Brian,' Rose said. 'It was something about Brian that they didn't like her being with. She was upset about it once. I went through it with her and was like, screw them.' )

What about Amazon? Would there be any way to track his purchases? IMO all sites are tightening the reigns with sign up, log ins ,and accounts.
Hell, I'm literally in a frenzy with mine since my husband died.
I know, boo- hoo, but my sleep # bed won't adjust, my shark robot vacuum won't get online, Hulu and Netflix are sketchy and I am at a loss! I'm not techy!
However, I'm sure he and his purchases c a n be traced, if he is shacked up somewhere !
MOO

Amazon is actually a good option. For instance, if I were the one helping BL I could open an Amazon account using the name and address of anyone in my general IP address area. I could then load that account with pre-paid cards, not traceable to me. I could then order anything and have it sent to BL under a false name but real address where he is. My name is not involved. His name is not involved. Easy peasy.

Thank you for sharing the 60 minutes article. Reading it makes this situation all the more sad. It reinforces my speculation that BP has some sort of condition (he admitted to not taking his meds to Moab LE) that caused him to spiral out of control. Sad, very sad situation all around.

Amateur opinion and speculation

YW! I also posted a link to the 60 minutes interview on you tube. Worth watching.

 

[gngr~snap]

Quite, quite. In the numerous interviews with other friends and co-workers the common theme of the relationship being up/down with low lows and high highs, no one but Rose ever mentions BL being controlling. It could very well be that BL simply had a personal dislike of Rose specifically as opposed to being controlling in general. imo

Naw, if he is what I believe is he destroyed her friendships months to years ago.
He can't control her if she has people that care about her in the circle.
They will open her eyes to what a (fill in the blank) he is. She has to be isolated. She wouldn't have EVER gone on the road with him of she had ANY kind of friend network.
Brian types build walls. They use triangulation and spiltting. They pit everyone against each other so that NO ONE will talk and share stories.
He makes sure that none of the people in his circle have an ounce of respect or belief that anything GP says is even remotely true.
Been there, did that! From age 16 to 54! All of it!
MOO

Wait, Gabby and Brian lived in a condo? I thought they lived in the parent's home.

 

[crumbcleaner]

I agree with that too. Makes no sense to me why they're still there.

Realistically though, where would they go? And if they did go somewhere I feel like it might look worse leaving when their son is missing and supposedly last seen in that area. IMO.

See??? Add COVID no contact and boom. He's good for what another 18- 24 months?

I didn't dig quite deep enough, honestly, to figure out where the friends are from. My guess only is that my impression is that they are scattered around from where Gabby lived and spent time over the past 4 years, like NY, NC, CA, FL, etc. She did a lot of exploring of the country during that time, so it makes some sense to me.

Thank you for sharing the quote, I hadn't seen that before (or forgot if I had, also, interesting to me). MOO.

 

[Fascinated1]

While I think it may be connected to BL, I am also beginning to wonder if there isn't something much bigger going on that we are not at all privy to. Very strange indeed. MOO.

I’ve always wondered why he had to hike if he had the car. Why not just take it and get as far away as possible-especially if he left before she was reported missing.

Amateur opinion and speculation

Same here. Have thought this for a while now. Not just the comments on the MOAB tapes about his doctor but also Cassie's comments on what he 'usually did' ( upthread), his flying home, Rose's use of the word 'after one of his episodes' & the references to ' voices' & ' not sleeping.'
Again pure speculation and feel free to jump on it as over-reach but I also wondered if that was why the Laundries/Roberta might be keen to see him married & settled down

In all honesty - those who are vilifying them will find any of their actions, absent falling on their knees and sharing what they MIGHT know, with anger. "They HIRED someone to take care of their lawn? How dare they care about their lawn at a time like this?? They left the home that Gabby LIVED in? How could they ever just tear themselves from those memories?"

Just saying - I doubt other than some sort of 'confession' there's unfortunately nothing the L's can do to satisfy the appetite of the protestors.

MOO

Something could be traced or monitored if LE had an address or a name being used. If they are clueless about both /either they wouldn’t know where to start looking. I assume they need warrants to look at actual accounts.

For me, I'm having a hard time thinking kindly and offering the benefit of the doubt to both of BL's parents. In fairness, there is nothing particularly outstanding or offensive about their appearances, their possessions, etc., but in context to the situation, I'm finding all sorts of things to be judgy about. It's our human nature, I guess. Here's what I simply can not get past as a woman.

As a woman and a mother, RL should have called GP's mom *immediately* and told her GP didn't come back with BP; is she with you, is she ok? Or, if she knew GP was deceased, she should have told GP's mom..."Gabby didn't come back with Brian; something is wrong. I don't have all the details, but I wanted to call you immediately"

If she wanted to lawyer up after that, so be it. But a real woman would have called Gabby's mom. Gabby lived in her home! She was part of their family (or was she?). Not calling Gabby's mom is unforgivable. But no, she didn't call GP's mom, and Gabby was left outdoors to be desecrated by wild animals. Evil, pure evil, imo. What type of a woman, a mother, can allow such a thing? (Allegedly)

So it's easy for me to look at them with disdain and contempt and find all sorts of things to be disgusted with. I'm human.

Amateur opinion and speculation

I totally understand and agree and I meant to add that her taste in decor is the least of her problems ;0)

 

[LeeJay55]

This relationship disintegrated on this trip!
What changed?
What the hell happened?
Maybe she grew her wings and wanted to.fly!
Maybe a new life that did not include him!
Ppl.change!

 

[gngr~snap]

Let's define "friends".
Not virtual FB, IG Vlog "add friend" folks.
Physical real humans who you can physically touch and sit with for hours.
There is a huge difference if you are in a DV relationship.
MOO

I get that. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
