** THURSDAY UPDATE **
#GabbyPetito
#BrianLaundrie

* 75 personnel searching for Laundrie
* 16 different agencies
* FBI leads investigation
* Will search Friday too
* Using swamp buggies -- gives them height to look down + get into deeper marsh

I expect that at some point SETI will be joining the search, because , you know , ...

The parents have convinced the FBI that he is in the reserve. They are privy to traffic cams, their phone messages, internet searches etc, phone tower pings. Including records of residents connected to them. They are searching this area because the are confident he is or was there. I doubt they are going just off the word of the parents. I imagine they have more to go on. I also imagine they have verified where they went camping, when they went, when they returned and who returned. For all we know, they camped in the reserve they are currently searching

I surely do hope so. I don't think there's been enough time since the parents' electronics were collected to have gotten all that data yet. And there's no crime yet (no charges against Brian) so I don't think there's a tracker on their vehicles.

Phone tower pings from specific towers might work - but I don't think they're using a phone to communicate with Brian and I'd be very surprised if he actually has his phone on him as he's moving around. What they need is the cellular data from the phone provider - which I assume will be produced any day. now.

I am guessing they took the parents in for questioning (with their lawyer present?) so I'm not sure if they have "verified" where they went camping in those three days. They don't look as if they're cooperating, to me, but who knows what one of them might have said if separated from the other?

I seriously doubt they went camping in that preserve, as there are only those utility line areas and dirt roads - explained to us a week ago by local LE - that can be used to reliably traverse the reserve; there's no camping allowed; there are barriers to all vehicles except people on foot and on bikes. Take a look at the footage of where the car was parked. It's a swamp. There are those easements/trails we see the searchers using - they went in first with lightweight vehicles and are now using specialized vehicles that won't sink into the muck.

Why would they go camping together in that swamp? They'd be seen and likely. reported and they would not, IMO, want an encounter with LE.

I do hope they find Brian today (in the swamp) but I'm not holding my breath after learning of the 3 day camper trip.

Maybe they found some article of Brian's in the swamp (but that isn't proof he was ever there, it's just the lead they have).

Quick question. I am guessing that there are no restrictions on BLs parents' travel since they are not charged with any crimes at this point? So if they wanted to, they could stop by MCO airport and jump on an international flight out of the US with no problems?

Like right...can you imagine if they are seen at the airport in O-Town.

Do you think Brian could be doing this? Wwooffing? He told the Moab policeman about it. I don't think he is there in reserve. I hope LE is keeping on eye on them. Jmo

Makes me wonder if he would’ve come to a small town thinking he wouldn’t be noticed. I’m in mid Florida about 2ish hours south east from north port (smack dab between Tampa and Orlando but south). There’s a lot of empty places out here to hide.. infact I mentioned to some friends the other night while we were trail riding that there were a lot of places to hide a body where we were.

It seems they have spent BL’s lifetime trying to coddle and protect him. The desire to not see their son go to federal prison for life probably had something to do with them not responding. They haven’t held him accountable and don’t want anyone else holding him accountable.

I agree with you. But in the meantime, they have subjected themselves to possible criminal activity by hiding things/lying. (MOO) Additionally, the public won’t receive them well. I think they could have handled things much better by at least pretending to care about Gabby. Their lives will never be the same.

Personally, I'm surprised there are as many involved as there are. That's an awful lot of man- and machine-power for one person who (at this point in time) has every legal right to go and do as he pleases since there is not a warrant out for his arrest.

We're talking about a person of interest in a domestic violence death. I'm starting to wonder if LE isn't feeling the heat from being accused of dropping the ball earlier, so they're pulling out all the stops. Brian is probably only a danger to the female companions in his life, but not to society at large.

I can see that level of investigating if we were talking about a serial killer or a mass shooter who was likely to keep killing. But Brian? Am I the only one who thinks it's overkill?

Plus, a big part of me doesn't even think he's there, given his parents' activities and behavior over the past couple of weeks.

Is it someones election year? This is a make or break career case. As gross as that sounds

 

[merrymary]

Are there any particular LE offices located in Orlando?

Alot of banks in that area and the courthouse is 3 blocks away

 

[AC's Grandma]

One possibility is visit with an attorney on Orange Ave., there are multiple firm offices in that location.

Hopefully it's one who is qualified to handle federal death penalty cases.

Do we know exactly when the parents started texting and asking for her whereabouts. Because all I can find is that it was on the 10th. Any indications it was earlier? Apologies if already covered

I haven't found a date yet - her mom gave a few interviews and then stopped. I tend to think she may have attempted contact periodically and didn't panic until a number of days went by with no response prompting her to call LE on the 10th.

FACT CHECK: Gabby Petito Sonogram: Was She Pregnant?

That's a pretty big stretch, IMHO. Honestly, the thought never crossed my mind, and I am usually one of the first to think of that because the first websleuthing I did was in the Laci Peterson case.

 

[Alethea]

I want to say I do not fault them at all if they are meeting with a serious Florida-based criminal defense attorney. They are in a serious situation and they need advice from someone who has been involved in similar situations. They need to understand what they can and cannot do and how they can legally help their son.

Unless they know where he is right now (like in hiding somewhere), there's a real chance their son is dead or in serious danger. If they can help resolve this without anyone else dying, I think that's a good end for everyone.

Where is Jose Baez's office?

Ohhhhh lordt. Please no.

 

[gngr~snap]

On the map it looks like one can go from the Carlton reserve into Myakka park and onwards for a very long time without ever running into residential areas right?

He probably took her credit/debit card too. Hence her having to call to get food.
Just a hunch.
MOO

There's a really awesome timeline on page one of each thread where one of the posters, @oviedo, has made a great timeline. It was updated today too! Here's a copy of the section of the timeline that answers your question:

thank you, that’s what I’m saying! More to the story? This is a TON of resources. More on a “very dangerous individual” level. My opinion.

I have been reading that public interest and pressure on this case is a record high. I believe that it has pushed LE to perform in ways they would not have 99% of the time.

 

[orchidaceaes]

Where is Jose Baez's office?

website says his Orlando office is at 23 South Osceola Avenue Orlando, FL 32801. Google maps says roughly 5 minutes away from where the Laundrie's were.

Edit to remove some stuff I forgot to delete before posting

I see a LYNX bus pass them which do run in Orlando

the distinctive blue tile looks like that address which is HHCP architects

Insomnia cookies and the "wine market" are the two businesses across the street to the left

 

[Alethea]

Ohhhhh lordt. Please no.

I clicked on the WS tab and saw "Spotted in Orlando" and said things I can't post lol

 

[Katerz]

They seem very.. methodical in what they’re doing…
