Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #20

I am beginning to wonder if he drove off with the van for the days when she was in the hotel in SLC, and the story about flying home was something she told her parents to cover for him so her parents wouldn't think less of him.

This is plausible. More plausible than the storage unit story.

Very interesting. Any news on a LE presser instead?

Can't help but laugh.

A lot of agencies just don't take MP reports unless there's a lot of evidence that the person is missing because of a combination of the philosophy that the person could be out of touch on purpose, and the fact that opening yet another case adds to their workload.

Thanks for the reply, Skigirl. I need to find the original post. If it's true, the date of Mom's request to NPPD matters to me. No doubt that NPPD had no idea of the chaos that was about to fall on them.

What in the world were they planning to say?

Using the word "passion" has overtones of a sexual, romantic nature, even if that's not what the speaker officially means. And historically we have been more lenient with this because, well, "that's just how things are between men and women. Can't really blame them."

definition of crime of passion.. hope it helps…

Crime of Passion

All of that is typical of an investigation these days.

And if you’re talking about BL’s attorney, he’s from NY, right?

yes, BL’s attorney is from NY but the family is in FL so that is a bit confusing why they are using a NY attorney if BL was supposed to be in FL… for LE questioning and so forth. Just strange to me.

 

[10ofRods]

A few things are sticking out like a red thumb to me… anyone else see this? FACTS ONLY HERE.. I’m not attaching opinions to guilt or innocence, just trying to see the facts out….

- LE refers to BL as POI not a suspect even after Gabby is found

- Media and LE have NOT referred to this as a murder investigation… yet. Strange to anyone else???

- DV incident on 8/12, LE gave her the van so she could free herself from the relationship at that time and drive away a single woman, as BL was safely in a hotel room with access to get back home to FL from there. Arguing over the rest is a mute point…

- Attorney is giving news conference in NY, not FL… why? Is BL in NY with his attorney possibly?

thoughts??

Most crimes aren't termed "murder" until the Coroner rules on manner of death and, usually, cause of death.

Not strange to me at all - wait until tomorrow. I do believe that LE are treating this as a homicide investigation, but they can't call it that - just yet.

I doubt BL is in NY. But his attorney is.

This is plausible. More plausible than the storage unit story.

I still say the most plausible story and the one that makes the most sense is he left her because they broke up, he came home, told his parents they were through, they moved all her stuff into a storage unit and out of the house so she could pick it all up when she got back to town.

Cowards!

 

[lab.tx]

I am just so appalled that the 911 caller said Brian was slapping and hitting Gabby and yet the police report lists him as the victim.

It literally makes my stomach hurt, and not much can do that.

As a crisis counselor seeing that video sent me over the edge. They way that Gabby was handled not supported or given an opportunity to safely speak was unacceptable. Believe Women Believe the Witness. She was failed by so many including The Laundrie's who guaranteed have seen the abuse first hand since they all lived together.

 

[zucchinibread]

What in the world were they planning to say?

IMO I think they were going to plead with Brian to come home. All signs pointed to it, I think, and his lawyer’s response to the media this evening could indicate it as well.

Maybe they cancelled it because he made contact with someone.

 

[priyaya]

I certainly think on Tuesday, he could have gotten on a plane. Was he even named a "person of interest" at that point? Certainly not a crime suspect.

yes but if he got on a plane they would know where... all of that is on record and they wouldn't be looking in FL right now

They're from NY originally, and this attorney may also be able to practice in FL. When I was in college, I was a legal secretary and most of the lawyers had FL licenses because their clients were snowbirds that went to FL for the winter.

Could be someone that's always been their attorney or someone they know.

 

[RabidDogISC]

Generally, they want a cause of death before it is declared a homicide. The autopsy is tomorrow.

I’m sure when they found Gabby they had an initial clue if it was homicide, accidental, animal or natural causes. Even with the decomp there are things that give that away on scene.

 

[10ofRods]

umm, are we having the same conversation? Did you watch the hour long video? Are you saying she didn't say she was slapping him at the initial incident by the moonflower?

The two 911 calls seem to indicate they were both being physical toward the other outside Moonflower.

He killed his wife's lover, a US attorney and Francis Scott Key's son, she wrote the Star Spangled

Gnats: Francis Scott Key was a man, I believe.

 

[Puzzles8]

Sure, but, despite all the media attention on Gabby (and, by extension, Brian), he is really not at all distinctive or interesting looking. If he threw on a baseball cap and some shades on him, got enough cash for a burner phone and went to a Walmart, Target, wherever to buy a phone, nobody would think twice about it imo. Especially if he bought it before Gabby's media attention started picking up speed.

Agree, but I think the phone numbers called from a burner phone would be telling.

I believe all incoming calls/texts on the Laundrie's phones' have been thoroughly researched. If there are ones from a burner phone, believe me, LE has tracked it down.

Possible. And then he flew back because they considered reconciliation (as many relationships do after a breakup) and things went south.
