Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #14

Doesn't the stuff in the van fly around when you drive?

Bungee cords!

 

[Skigirl]

So, does this mean they know the van's whereabouts on Aug 25 , 26 and / or Aug 31 and Sept 1?

I think it means they think that the critical 72 hours when Gabby died or was lost is between the 27th and 30th.

They seem confident that she's fine on the 25th and 26th. They know where he was on Sept 1, since that's when he arrived in FL. For sure he would have been in transit on the way to FL on the 31st.

I know what you mean. But in other cases with organized searches, you usually don't hear anything until they find a body. Times when LE and Equusearch have searched large areas it's usually silent until the search is complete and they announce they did not find anything of interest. In cases where they find a body, the media usually picks up evidence tents going up or the ME van arriving.

I would guess we won't hear anything until the end of the day when they say they stopped for the night and will continue tomorrow. I don't think the media will be able to get close to the western search areas because they closed the campground.

If the media uses helicopters or drones and we see a canopy go up - I think we will have answers. Sigh. JMO

 

[NuttMegg]

They know he isn't there?

He ain't in the swamp. Dead or alive. And the folks know it.

 

[Okiruy]

...Mind. Blown. GREAT question.

Because they know where he is. Speculation again, but their goal is take the focus off GP.

Like GP’s parents said, BL is hiding, GP is missing.

 

[blindone]

Do we know for absolute certain that he returned alone? What if he still has her as part of his jealous and possessive nature..?

 

[ToddIanuzzi]

i've been following these threads pretty closely (as well as possible) so forgive me if this has been cleared up but can we confirm brian was actually back in florida in september? is it possible he never was, and a family member or friend grabbed the van and drove it to FL from another state?

has anyone but the parents had confirmed eyes on him in FL in september?

 

[Deleted member 222031]

Didn't the tropical storm pass through around this time? Maybe the storage unit flooded and only Brian had access and needed to get his stuff out.

He could FedEx the key home.

 

[ShadyLady]

Speculation:

I think Gabby is gone. But, whatever happened between them, I don't think Brian was strong enough to carry her anywhere. So I think she will be found very close to where she died. And if Brian really is hiking in the wilds of Florida, he might not be found.

Somehow he might have gotten help to leave the area. Since he is running, for sure knows he is libel for her death.

I think she died the evening of the 26th.

Regarding couple dash cam ( at the 1:52 mark....I see a sandal on the ground - right below the ladder. Apologies if mentioned before....just catching up now.

I don't think a lot of details have been revealed about this or what LE knows about the journey home.

We've been told he returned on the 1st (or was back by the 1st)... not told if it was specifically at 1am or 11pm.

 

[Hyway]

This focus on a completely reasonable speed of 45mph is kind of annoying. That's not fast. 15mph is slow as heck, may not have been as clearly posted as it should have been (like one sign that they missed from wherever they got on the road). Or just distracted and he gradually got up to speed without noticing. I have wondered speed on roads many times and it seemed to take forever before I finally got to a speed limit sign to verify what speed I should be driving.

The place where they were pulled over looked like a modern, wide 4 lane highway where I would feel safe driving 60 mph

He could FedEx the key home.

agree the flight home was unnecessary

 

[Mike in WNY]

Maybe the sofa has a pull out extension to create a bed? I think it's quite a livable situation with a tent for additional space to relax & sleep as desired/needed. These are fit, slender young people on an outdoor adventure where the sunshine days average 280+. To me, for their purposes it is more than doable. If they planned to live in it in a rainy climate....no. Do we know if they wanted it to be more than a temporary home? A try it and see if you like it? Everyone who contemplates van living has a different dream and needs. I thought about it as freedom from renting but am middle aged and not as fit as them. Any Instagram fame for me would have been a miracle (or nightmare)....lol
MOO

Interior width of a transit is about 6 feet +/-. Their bed looks to be, say, two-thirds(?) of that... so, maybe just shy of 4 feet +/-. Cozy, I suppose.

 

[Cardinal47]

Surely someone in the families neighborhood has a Ring video camera on their door.
Seems everybody has them these days.
I wonder if Brian was ever spotted on one of those the ten days he was supposedly home!

 

[oviedo]

[hey-Debbie]

Totally agree. He wasn't a big guy. She was tiny though. But hey that's what tarps are for...to drag things on if too heavy. That and other things.

Welcome!
Here you go. @Timestamp .40.

 

[Veronica Sawyer]

I think she died the evening of the 26th.

If true, I’d be curious to know if her flip flops or maybe the sunglasses are in that spot still.
