Ya know, there is a lot of back and forth about this case. I'm reminded of Pres. Trump's Russia hoax problem. A lot was said there as well. From the beginning I said to those who wanted Pres. Trump's head on a platter that everyone deserves their day in court. Anyone can say anything. But is it true? THAT is the question. Does this look bad for the guy? No, it looks disastrous. But is it true? Lets see the evidence and then decide.

Didn't he fly back to Florida for a couple of days to help his parents move stuff from a storage building? She stayed in a motel. I wonder if something happened while he was gone.

If this is true and fiance is guilty, parents may be charged as accessories after the fact if they helped with any shenanigans.
Well a news report just stated that there are no laws in Florida preventing parents from being accessories after the fact. Wow. There may be federal laws. Wait and see.

they’ll have to prove BL did the crime first and if all they can charge him for is using $1000 that might be pretty easy to prove was a co-savings account since they were cohabitating the feds have bupkis at the moment.

John Walsh discusses the Gabby case and the Laundrie's parents behavior.

JOHN WALSH isn’t Happy!! “From the beginning Gabby Petito’s case has been a tragedy of errors.”

View: https://youtu.be/DGfVCJP-Teo

What has been a tragedy is that first, Petito's parents have been making a huge media splash which created enough pressure on the prime suspect that he disappeared, whether by his own hand or not.

Second, the media absolutely has not helped the investigation at all by posseting a bunch of assumption and every bit of hearsay out there. I've heard so many different versions of the original 911 call that it needs a transcript just determine how many people are lying about what they saw. Same for the supposed incident at the restaurant in Jackson. It was so bad yet the waitress and restaurant can't remember it at all.

That Scmidt woman and those like her are using the crime as a vehicle to their own 15 minutes of fame. Several of them have their own monetized youtube channels so you can be altruism isn't the only thing on the table.

The cops were following procedure unless you want them to be the thought police. Minority Report here we come and everyone will just love it to pieces apparently, even supposedly freedom-loving conservatives.

Misrepresenting the two main characters in this tragedy hasn't helped either. They aren't two little kids. They were both adults. Messed up? Maybe. A little different? Sure, probably. But as of yet we don't know beyond a shadow of a doubt if that played any part in what happened.

Up to this point it appears that the only thing they might be able to get BL on is using cash that may have belonged to both of them as they were co-habitating for some time. It will be very easy for a defense attorney versed in Florida cohabitation laws to create enough doubt that BL could have those charges dropped quite easily. If they really had anything they would arrest him on suspicion of murder and that's not the charges being brought against him.

The lawyer is being sued by Petito's parents for something he didn't do which is just going to make even more stupid roll forth in the media. Petito's parents are trying to sue the Laundrie's when the FBI can't even prove that BL committed the crime to start with ... more stupid that screws up the case.

And the list goes on and on and on and on and on ...

Well, plenty of people have been arrested on less evidence. Based on just his behavoir when he and Gabby stopped to eat, the guy is a shit bag. Nevertheless, in a situation where both people look like borderline personality disorder cases, and both could probably have used some meds.... was her death an accident?

Maybe they were fighting (as usual), he shoved her off him, she stumbled and hit her head...that kind of thing. It would in part, explain his parents' actions, if they believed him.

IF he was honest when he got home and told them the truth. He could have told his parents that they met her friend in yellowstone (which was an actual plan) and Gabby decided to hang with her cause they weren't getting along, so he got mad and came home. That would explain the camping they did after he returned...everything is hunky dory but Gabby is a turd for shining on Brian or some such story. He's mad that she did that, cleans her stuff out of the storage etc cause they're done. A week later the cops finally show up and clue the parents in on the truth....who knows??? Everyone is assuming they knew the truth from the get-go.

He could have killed her on purpose and lied and said he found her dead and got scared and ran. There is no information about the friend yet. Did the friend come? She stayed in a motel while he went and moved the storage stuff and then came back. I wonder what she did during that time and also when he got back it was then the 2 women were saying a creepy guy was watching them. We need a timeline and fill in empty spots. I think the video of the police pullover was on 12th and then he left day or so later and not sure when he came back.

hmmm I didn't know she was in a hotel when that occured.....where did you hear that? I thought that was after he returned (and she was no longer with us). hmmm why would she be okay with getting her stuff out of storage and him returning to florida and then back to her in hotel. very strange!!

I thought it was something to do with his parents stuff in storage. They were not breaking up.

I honestly thought they'd find his body by now, with either death by hanging or self-inflicted gunshot wound. If they don't find him soon, he might well make his way up into the Blue Ridge Mountains. People can and have disappeared up there before...big mountain chain, very dense. We've hiked it in VA, very dense, very large...and then there's the entire Appalacian range.

Brian Laundrie search: Woman in Canada snaps photo of ‘flustered’ look-alike

A flight attendant has posted a photo she snapped of a “flustered” man she said looked strikingly similar to Gabby Petito’s missing boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, outside a hotel in Canada, according to a report.


The woman said on TikTok that she spotted the man on Monday as he walked out of the hotel in Toronto where she was staying, the Sun reported.


The man — who appeared “flustered” — then got into a car and drove off with another man, the woman said on TikTok using the handle @cwlynn, according to the news outlet.


She shared a photo she snapped of the balding man with prominent facial hair who wore a face mask around his chin — and then notified hotel staff about his likeness to Laundrie, who has been named a person of interest in Petito’s death.


The Long Island native’s death has been ruled a homicide and the FBI has announced that it is seeking Laundrie on an

Brian Laundrie manhunt: Second woman claims she picked up Gabby Petito’s boyfriend hitchhiking
A second woman has emerged to claim she picked up Brian Laundrie while he was hitchhiking in Wyoming last month — and left him at the campground where his girlfriend Gabby Petito’s body was eventually found.


Norma Jean Jalovec told Fox News that she came across Laundrie, 23, on Aug. 29 near Pacific Creek Landing — the same day TikToker Miranda Baker said she also picked him up in Grand Teton National Park.


Jalovec said the now-wanted man got into the front seat of her Toyota 4Runner at about 6:15 p.m. — roughly 5 minutes after Baker said he abruptly got out of her Jeep after becoming agitated in the nearby area of Jackson Dam.


In Baker’s SUV, Laundrie’s mood changed when she mentioned she and her boyfriend were heading to Jackson Hole. According to Jalovec, Laundrie asked her if she was heading to the same destination.

Looks like they issued the arrest warrant on a technicality because they got zip, nada, nothing of real import to arrest him on.
I too think it is for show, for the masses. As in Ooooo look what the FBI did. They got him now. (for Fraud)

However, it puts Brian in an uptick situation in that NOW when he is found/arrested he is no longer a person of interest, and will need to be Mirandized, given a lawyer, can only be held for a certain period, a phone call, etc....

Instead of playing their cards close to the chest, and keeping him in the person of interest clause, to keep all that from happening.

this gabby case is a bit different. she went on a vacation in a vehicle with her boyfriend.
boyfriend got home, gabby did not and boyfriend dissapeared.
And don't forget she was putting all this on twitter, swatter, fly paper, gnat killer, whatever the stupid thing is.

I must be living in the last century, because this appears to be a thing now days, Maybe like Hippies, and flower children of the 1960's. Let's all move to CA, and love another.

Because yesterday...........

We were sitting in McD's in Fulton staring at the Shell station on the other side of the parking lot when....... (what else do you do in a small town?)

this mid size school bus pulls in over there, and is painted blue and white, with a Dream Catcher dohickey hanging over the folding door. I was like .....What???? When it pulled around back where the diesel pumps where and on the back emergency door it had. Along with a couple of bicycle's.

It looks like Aug. 17th to 23rd he was in Florida. Somebody should have seen her during that time. She was at the Fairfield Inn in Salt Lake City. Aug. 12th the 2 women were murdered in Moab, Utah the same day they were pulled over for the traffic thing. Aug. 18th they found the bodies of the 2 women shot.

So that makes that part of the timeline look like this. I'm thinking the two got in a fight, Brian left, and then they reconciled on the phone and he went back. Flying home to help move things into or out of storage (depending on the news report) doesn't make sense. At all. It would probably be cheaper to pay a moving company than to buy the plane tickets.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be that hard to fly a drone down sections of the AT if they knew he's out there.

Stan was the name of Gabby's grandfather. Her mom said Gabby never called him Stan, she had some nickname for him that she always used.
That was the first text that made her mom think maybe the text wasn't from her.

No. Gabby and Brian were pulled over on the 12th.

The two murdered women were alive and in a bar at 9:30 PM on the 13th.

This bugs me, because Kylen Schulte, worked at Moonflower.

Supposedly, there are no coincidences in a murder investigation, and this is a big honking coincidence. No murders in this town for years, and suddenly there are murders, and they aren't related? And I know Gabby wasn't likely murdered IN Moab, but it's still too much to just be waved away as a coincidence.

Same with the media's boring story of "who's-gonna-replace-Alex" on Jeopardy. ZZZZZzzzzz

20 miles? I wonder what he was doing. The 27th he is at the restaurant, 29th he is on his way back hitchhiking.

It wouldn't have been as far if the hiking trail went mostly straight across. Even at that, ten miles a day for two days, and then hitchhike back to the van? I haven't looked to see what kind of hiking trails are in that area. He could've hitchhiked to a different trailhead, hiked a shorter trail, and then planned to hitchhike back to the van. Or, Gabby could've driven him to a trailhead and then gone back to the campsite. Lots of possibilities.

This bugs me, because Kylen Schulte, worked at Moonflower.

Supposedly, there are no coincidences in a murder investigation, and this is a big honking coincidence. No murders in this town for years, and suddenly there are murders, and they aren't related? And I know Gabby wasn't likely murdered IN Moab, but it's still too much to just be waved away as a coincidence.

I agree. I just had a wild thought. On the 12th after a police stop he was sent to a motel and she had the van. On the 13th the 2 women spotted a creepy man and were killed. Did Gabby park the van somewhere in the same area and he did not stay in the motel, but went to spy on Gabby and either knew the 2 women were going camping or came across them while looking for Gabby?? He is just all over the place walking and camping alone. If he was as jealous as her friend said, I do not see him calmly staying in that motel all night and apparently the police did not check to see if he was there.

After all this time I suspect that Brian is dead. Disappearing off the face of the Earth is very difficult these days unless you have a lot of preps, cash and skills.

Does he have a history of homosexual behavior? One method young(ish) guys have used in the past is to disappear into the gay underground. This was illustrated in the novel Day of the Jackal, decades ago. The only problem with this is, I would think, that the 'gay underground' isn't really very much underground anymore, as that behavior has essentially become acceptable and normalized in the larger culture.

Other possibilities would be for him to hide within a political or religious cult. This was fairly common decades ago within the radical left. The problem with this is that political radicals usually don't trust outsiders or newcomers and have their own vetting processes.

So, how does a young man with little cash, no transportation, no equipment and (probably) no wilderness survival skills disappear and go to ground? I don't think he does.

All of the above strikes me as very unlikely. Like I said earlier, I think he's dead, probably by his own hand.

He's spent months on the AT, and he's apparently used to camping in the swamps near his house. I doubt he's still in the swamp, but if he made it north into, say, the N.Ga mountains, he could easily lay low in that area. Grow his hair, shave, dress differently. People were talking about him headed towards Alabama for a while, and there are plenty of forests in lower Alabama he could go into and stay for a while as well.

He once lived in New York, so it's even possible he put a mask on and found a way up there. Do you need ID for a bus ticket? Or maybe he caught a ride with someone.

Or maybe his parents put him on a boat headed to Mexico. I'm not prepared to call him dead just yet.

Okay, this seems a bit odd....generally these aren't docketed unless the person is in custody, I think...at least based on our knowledge from a different state.

An "unknown" telephone was used to make this false report to local police yesterday.

OK, sure. Maybe an idiot trying to stir things up?

Or, how about the FBI made the call in order to haze the Laundrie's? Especially with their poor reputation as of late?

This is a -very- high profile case and I can see all sorts of "methods" being used by the alphabet agencies.

Done a lot of camping, in groups, and solo. Easy when you have transportation at the trail head, and a bank card to get cash and food at little towns. This guy doesn't have those things. He is going to need a LOT self-discipline (something else he is rather short on), to just disappear indefinately into a mountain range somewhere (that's a lot of crackers to carry). With his people skills, I don't think the gay underground is viable either.

No clue how he is managing. I too, think he might be dead.
