You may not be wrong. Ultimately, the family might have pulled a fast one. Maybe they knew someone who died from Covid, stuck the body out there, and then paid to have the dental records swapped. There may also be someone on the inside helping them, for $ of course.
Yes, I read too many spy novels.
They also didn't find the backpack or notebook. The FBI said the LEO/FBI found those items along with the remains. Fairly decent time line at this article with quotes from officials as to what, when, and who. They had a reporter trailing them the entire time, that's why there are so many pictures of what was going on.
People need to stop making stupid stuff up. There are enough verifiable facts out there to prove the parents didn't help the son escape, that the son never left the area, and that all of the sightings and theories, including those proffered by Judge Jeanine, were and are over emotional need for people to "prove" their theories.

Hard as heck to beat Snoopy…He's dead, FBI confirmed via dental records.
Annie was faster than I :-)
I know what the parents DID do.
They refused to answer repeated phone calls from Gabby's mother when HE came home in HER car, WITHOUT her.
They refused to talk to either Gabby's mother OR the police about anything to do with their son coming home w/o his 'fiance', and did NOTHING AT ALL to assist in the SEARCH for her.
They refused to assist at all in the police investigation of Gabby's disappearance.
They immediately hired a lawyer for their son as soon as Gabby's mom reported her being missing to the police.
They refused to allow the police to speak to their son.
They refused to allow the police to search their son's room, possessions, or Gabby's van (which they illegally had possession of--it was not their son's van, it was hers---no matter WHO was paying for it.)
They did not notify the police of their son leaving home until two weeks after he was GONE (if memory serves).
In short, they did all they could to impede this investigation---and the ONLY logical reason for them doing that was to protect their son.
(if this IS him---and yes I guess I am too cynical as well) then he's dead in part BECAUSE they tried SO HARD to suppress and hide whatever information Brian could have given Gabby's parents and the police.
That is why there are No Elks left in Florida. Someone had to take the Laundry out!!Sleeping with gators is never advised. And snakes? Same.
IF he killed that girl I hope he screamed and screamed.
Whole situation is so terribly messed up.
Any journals/notebooks, if not in waterproof bags, may not be of any help. It would be nice if there was a written journal by him that detailed the what, why, etc. I don't know if it would help the families find any closure, but at least everyone knows now he's not out there on the run. That part is over.
Despite watching this story all day I still have one question.
Who actually found Brian Laundrie's backpack and notebook?
The parents, the Feds, or someone else?
I agree with you Meemur. I really think these parents are very crooked and have done what you said with the dental records. So funny that after they searched the area for a month and with Cadaver dogs but nobody could find him until the parents come out to search. And they are the ones who find him and the bag. Yeah right!! I smell a stinking fish! I hope they don't get away with this.
Unless the notebook was well up a tree, after a month underwater you can forget most of the content. Not even sharpie is going to survive that. The notebook, maybe, but not the contents. The paper inside it was probably little more than pulp ... as in paper mache.
The parents insisted that's where he was known to go. The investigators admited the first time the father tried to get in that area that the water was too deep to search which was why he went home so quickly that time. Day after the park was reopened the parents wanted to go back and check the area again and were accompanied by law enforcement.
Their son is dead. They are not guilty of the crime he was not convicted of. Had there been evidence that Laundrie killed Petito that is what the arrest warrant would have been. And even if he did kill her? Guess what? No one gets to be judge and jury. That's way above the paygrade of the people left here on earth.
...or had to wade in the putrid grease slick a body leaves on the surface of a pond after a few days in order to float the body back to land.It's clear here that very few here have hooked a floater in summer OR winter. decomp is VERY fast in FL in the late summer/fall. Smell the smell ONE TIME and you NEVER forget it. I mean FRESH stiffs aren't bad. fresh as in this morning or this afternoon, and depending on temp even last night. Get a 4-5-6 day old stiff and you won't ever forget it.
If the weather is VERY warm, you have to be REALLY careful picking up these bodies. Parts fall off.
My only other comment here is that they had to find an intact (more or less) head so they could do dental records because this was WAY too fast for DNA comparisons.
I am troubled by the information in this excerpt from CNN. Bold emphasis mine.

Laundrie's family had declined to talk publicly following legal advice, but they had directed authorities to where they believed Laundrie may be staying in the reserve, Bertolino said.
The parents joined in the search Wednesday morning and found a bag belonging to their son at the park, which their attorney described as "happenstance."
According to Bertolino, Laundrie's parents informed the FBI and the North Port Police Department on Tuesday night that they wanted to visit the park Wednesday morning to search for their son.
Law enforcement met them there and closely accompanied them as they entered the park, Bertolino said.
"As they went further in, Chris ventured off the trail into the woods. He was zigzagging in different areas, law enforcement was doing the same thing. And Roberta Laundrie was walking down the trail," Bertolino said. "At some point, Chris locates what's called a dry bag. The dry bag is a white bag, laying in the woods, say 20 feet or so off the trail."
The dry bag was in some brambles and he didn't want to move it because he wanted his law enforcement to see it, Bertolino said. However, Chris Laundrie couldn't find law enforcement and didn't want to leave the bag there with a news reporter standing nearby, so he picked it up, Bertolino explained.
"He did meet up shortly with law enforcement, they looked at the contents of the bag. At that time, law enforcement officers showed him a picture on the phone of a backpack that law enforcement had located also nearby and also some distance off the trail," Bertolino told CNN.

Dental records show remains found at Carlton Reserve are those of Brian Laundrie, FBI says | CNN
The FBI's Denver office said Thursday that remains found in a Florida nature reserve are those of Brian Laundrie, who went missing last month. The FBI said dental records confirmed the identification.www.cnn.com
None of which they are required by law to do. And since we don't know if Gabby's mother isn't just as crazy as she is ... and yes there are stories out there that the apple didn't fall far from the tree ... and we don't know what Gabby requested or didn't request of the Laundries ... then a lot of the stuff you just wrote doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
None of it would be admissible or could have screwed things up worse than they were.
And no, they did not impede the investigation. Just because you want something to be true doesn't mean it is. People did the same thing with the Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin stupidity.
Both Petito and Laundrie were adults with constitutional rights. Guess you are willing to throw the constitution out when it suits you just so you can demand information that frankly you, nor anyone else, has a right to.
Learn the law, not just the feelz.
Huh? I have not really cared for Kathy's scolding tone in this thread, but she is basically correct.I don't need MAN's law to tell me what is RIGHT and what is WRONG
WHY are you defending these people?
I believe you said in another thread you had no children? ( I may have misunderstood you re that)
Whether that is correct or not---You need to TRY to put yourself in the place of Gabby Petito's MOTHER (something Brian Laundrie's parents certainly never gave a damn about) and maybe then you can see beyond the "letter" of the law to the SPIRIT of the law--which is JUSTICE---not cleverly getting "off" on a technicality.
WAY too many guilty people walk every day due to such "technicalities"
I'm still curious about the case.
Reports stated they BOTH were nuts. I'm not convinced he killed her. I can also understand his parents not wanting to have ANYTHING to do with Gabby's hysterical accusing parents. We've probably just heard the end of it, but I wonder if she died by and odd accident, or if someone else was involved. Additionally, we may never know how he died.
If I were going to write the movie script, I would twist that plot a little. Gabby would be the one to commit suicide by hanging herself infront of Brian. Brian, traumatized and realizing that he will be blamed, runs away. He runs home, and his parents believe him. Gabby's parents end up harassing his parents, and the killer in this story is one of the parents persuing Brian into the swamp and murdering him out of vengence.The cool thing about TB2K is we can start out own conspiracy theories right here over a simple criminal case. We have parents stealing covid killed people, planting evidence, altering dental records, and doing a superb job of hiding the countries most wanted man with the most known face in the western world with zero confirmed sightings. Maybe he had tied to Russia or Epstien.
Or they told the truth about where he went from the beginning and it is a simple murder suicide. But that would be boring.
Report clearance type "Exception" closed due to death of offender. Done.
We still don't have proof that Brian killed her.You may be over thinking this case?
Gabby was strangled. No mystery, no accident involved.
Gabby was strangled only a few hundred feet away from the van that she and Brian shared as their home in an isolated location.

Plus, it's Florida. A body doesn't last long outdoors.Are you serious? The body was submerged in approx waist deep warm water for weeks. The ew factor is going to be high and so will any animal depredation. What would happen to a piece of raw chicken left in soup outside for a couple of weeks. Like I said, very high ew factor.
We still don't have proof that Brian killed her.
It's the most likely scenario, but we don't KNOW.
I agree with you! the facts presented are sketchy....guess we'll have to see what dna tests show.....or are deep pockets paying for the truth to be hidden????Am I the only one that finds this very suspicious? After over a month of searching, the parents go to search and viola! They happen to find some items! Now either the parents didn't tell the searchers that this was old Brian's favorite trail, or they brought/planted these items or the search crew is the most incompetent group ever in the history of searches.
DNA is easier to fake than dental records. You can place blood or flesh at a scene but it is hard to fake a head.I agree with you! the facts presented are sketchy....guess we'll have to see what dna tests show.....or are deep pockets paying for the truth to be hidden????
Learn the law, not just the feelz.
All I know is, I woke up one day in 2020, and every thing I've heard or seen since then, has been a lie, a corruption or a threat!!! I have resigned myself to the fact that whatever I'm told is the truth right now, is a lie. I wasn't born a skeptic, but I have certainly turned in to one.DNA is easier to fake than dental records. You can place blood or flesh at a scene but it is hard to fake a head.
Who would the "deep pockets" have to pay off? How many FBI agents, crime scene techs, local cops and lab workers would have to go along with it to make it all work?
Brian was NOT a cool cucumber, even in the best of times. He could have panicked. With that POS personality of his, of course fingers have been pointing in his direction.IMO, it's kind of like OJ. If he didn't do anything wrong, why did he run?

Perhaps the two had another fight that fateful day, and she stormed off, pissed, and some homeless guy tries to pick her up. She tells him to F off, and the guy gets offended, and strangles her.
How much do we really know about this case? That girl in Italy was convicted for murdering her dorm roommate (and somehow her boyfriend was thought to be involved), and IIRC, that killing involved a sketchy homeless guy on the scene, but that didn't seem to come out until later(?) Looking back at the Italian conviction, it seems likely that the wrong person was sent to jail.
Oh, the law is there. It’s just not enforced anymore.There IS NO law. There are rooms full lawyers and judges and shelves full of books full of words, but NO LAW. Not any more.
