Gabby Petito found dead in Wyoming

[ISUTex]

Even compared to 3-4 years ago they are displacing and outnumbering RVs really fast, and they all look identical. 80% of them are white.

I mean I was there at this campground on 28th, 29th and Sept 5 and I'd have told the police I saw many 100s of vehicles matching this vehicle at that site. Pretty much worthless.

Yeah, but the vloggers video had the actual van in it. Same stickers on the back. Same hat in the dash.

I've been following this pretty closely and there are a few things that aren't being addressed:

A text was sent to her parents saying, "no service in Yosemite." This was no accident and if it was then why the text?

A married couple were found dead recently in the Moab area and one of the women worked at the motel that Petito had her police altercation in front of. The murdered couple were seasoned outdoors women and they were texting friends complaining of a guy that was creeping them out.

Be weird if that pinged off a tower close to home.

When I lived in Chicago around '02-'15 this phenomenon could not have been more glaring.

If a white woman got mugged or raped in northside neighborhoods or rich north suburbs it was news for a month. For a murder on the southside to be news it had to be a little girl walking to school and even those sometimes would pretty much get ignored in compared to a white victim crime in Lincoln Park or Glencoe or somewhere like that.

Some are saying it's because they had social media presence, that's just not true from what I saw those years in that city.

Hopefully this case also shines a light on the reality that even if she had threatened him, harassed him or assaulted him as some say there is video evidence of, he can still be a murderer. In 'certain' cases our society is really fine with murder if someone just throws out an unsubstantiated claim they feel threatened.

Reading the book Hate, Inc right now and he talks about this news phenomenon. It’s called “worthy victims” and “unworthy victims”. The”worthy victims” are people that the news media feels we should feel sorry for and things shouldn’t happen to. “Unworthy victims” are those that the news media feels like is okay. It perpetuates stereotypes and creates consent on what is acceptable/ unacceptable.

Video slowed down shows that the back door was actually open when the car first approached and closed before they made it out. Also a single flip flop of hers is seen on the ground behind the door that was open when they pass by in the original video

Can't imagine that will go over well.

Isn't he missing/possibly dead as well? I thought I heard that but might be wrong.

Just entering this thread and read the timeline. But I think the fact that the Boyfriends family already had retained an attorney when the police showed up to talk is very telling. It almost seems like that family knows what happened and know where the Boyfriend is at.

Im with you here, I usually don't get caught up in these stories but the morning show I always listen to has brought it up daily so I've paid more attention. IMO it's almost a certainty that he killed her, whether premeditated or accidental is the question. He had to have called his parents on his way home or immediately spilled all the beans once he got home and they allowed him to hole up while they got their attorney and their story straight.
The whole "missing" "in hiding" story just screams more guilty, but I think his Parents are going to have a lot of explaining to do.

Yeah, and it was the first visit. Up to that point, they had only been called. But still, very suspicious.

It'll be the Attorney laying the ground work for a mental illness defense.

Yep...beat me to it

I think we can all agree that the last known person with her, and her fiance on top of it, refusing to speak with the police about her whereabouts is about as suspicious as it gets.

 

[Saul_T]

Authorities have placed no value in the claim. The Petito family also said the don't believe it is accurate.

The double edged sword of the internet. What and who do you believe in these ever evolving stories. Thanks for the update and clarification.

One of Gabbey's friends talked about hearing stories of Brian hearing voices that made Gabbey go and stay out of the house when he had his "episodes".

 

[Candide]

Have you read anything that he was carrying a gun before?

No, not that I recall.

 

[SCNCY]

I didn't know this. Sounds like these two have known each other for a while and the two families may have some relationship too. Just makes what I said early far more suspicious.

FBI searches Florida home of Gabby Petito's boyfriend

The FBI gave no details on the search by at least a dozen law enforcement officers, but agents removed several boxes and towed away a car that neighbors said was typically used by 23-year-old Brian Laundrie’s mother. Local media said Laundrie's parents were seen getting into a police vehicle...

Petito and Laundrie were childhood sweethearts who met while growing up on New York's Long Island. His parents later moved to North Port, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) south of Sarasota.

I don’t know. Is it suspicious? Sure, but even if he didn’t kill her it probably shouldn’t talk to the police without his attorney/doing it for him.

Let’s say what actually happened was that they were both fighting and thought it would be miserable driving back together so he dropped her off in a nearby town so she could rent a car and they could drive back separately (I don’t think this happened, but just as an example). In that case, would talking to the police even be helpful at this point?

I completely agree. I don't think he's innocent but the 1 thing I don't fault him for is hiring an attorney. The investigation is always centered around the spouse/boyfriend so innocent or guilty it's a good idea to hire representation.

Yeah, there's a lot suspicious otherwise, but refusing to speak to police is just smart even if he's innocent.

I haven't followed this closely, but I'm curious if there was the suggestion of written questions submitted through the lawyer. It wouldn't help the police as much but in the case he actually was innocent it'd be a lot smarter way to engage with police to help get answers
