Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #24

Personally, I don't think that they are marking bulletholes at all, the logs are covered in natural holes, as they are rotting wood. I think it's more likely that the spray paint is marking where individual pieces of evidence were found - clothing, hair, etc. JMO

Is PNN not “satire”?

I think the pictures from the scene clearly show a knife was the weapon. If you look close at the markings on evidence 16 there are two stab areas that that seem obvious that puncture the log. The big tree also is a horizontal line inside of the hole. Pretty clear to me. And also the Blood drop below 16 also.

Regarding bloodstains on the trees - wouldn't the police cut those places out and take them in for testing? I suppose they could have just swabbed, but I would think they would want the actual piece of wood for future testing and to make it available to the defense team (if it comes to that) to do their own independent testing?

Yes. Yes.

Yep.

IMO there's nothing under the tent, at least not in the footage. I can't see anything of note, just dirt. They found evidence there and then saw her body near some trees by the tent. The Salt Lake news helicopter saw her. They found her body around noon, according to the station, and only released the footage later that day, so they had time to edit it also. If they could see her from the air, imo, that means she likely wasn't buried or at least not buried deep.

Agreed. Also, in that video that shows them setting up the tent, they clearly walk over the ground directly under it, which they would not do if it was evidence. They set the tent up and move it if I remember correctly.

I would say fake news!
Here is some excellent art work by my that shows similar holes highlighted by the blue ‘arrow’. Hand is from the original pic.

Yeah, I don’t see the difference in holes. If the one that’s marked is a bullet hole then the tree appears to have a ton of them so why would only one be marked?

So I'm probably going to get dragged for this but I just had some thoughts that I wanted to get out there. This is going to sound nuts but I don't get a bad feeling from him. I haven't since day one. I know he killed her. Without a doubt. But I don't think it was premeditated. I don't get a Chris Watts feeling at all.b I think it was a fight that got WAY out of hand and it was an accident. My guess is it's probably going to be blunt Force trauma. I'm sure they spent just way too much time together one-on-one with no breaks. My guess is all of the sightings of him and the van from that point on was him either trying to set an alibi or him just trying to figure out what the hell to do next. In all reality he's still just a kid. And no offense to this generation but they definitely are not as self-reliant as older generations are. I'm wondering if he debated not going back when he flew to Florida for the storage unit but he didn't want to leave her out there all by herself? Just the thought that if he had sent one of her family members or one of his out there instead things would have been totally different. And I sure that his parents are helping cover it up which is not the right thing but can any of us honestly say that if our child was in that situation we wouldn't help also? I'm one of the most honest people you'd probably ever meet and I can't say for sure that I wouldn't. I'm willing to bet he's probably committed suicide and they just haven't found him yet. And I'm willing to bet that the reason the family all of a sudden is willing to help is because they suspect this too and their panicking. It's just a sad situation all around.

What I will say also about the police video is it is so chilling to me to see things like that because all I could think the whole time was this poor girl only had a few days or weeks left to live. It was just haunting me to watch. To watch him who seemed like such a nice guy on the video and her who just seemed like this young sweet kid. And just to wonder what happened next.

It's all just so sad for everybody. It just makes my heart hurt.

I do hope that he is out there alive still. If he made a mistake and killed her, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, then I would hope a second mom doesn't have to bury their child. Even if he did kill her no mom should have to do that.

JMO but the holes in the trees look natural, like they're weevil holes or from a bird or something. Aren't they small for bullet holes?

I can say with ABSOLUTE certainty that I would never help my child cover up a murder and evade federal law enforcement.

Edited to add: ESPECIALLY if the victim was a vibrant young woman who lived under my roof for two years. A woman I was expecting to be my daughter in law. No way.

Chopper is in the air. Search resumes

 

[I wonder]

Gabby should be alive and happy, with her whole life ahead of her. It's devastating that she isn't.

But I really hope that Gabby's legacy is to improve the training of police officers, park rangers and dispatchers to help them deal with similar circumstances better in future, not just in tourist areas, but across the US.

More information needs to be made available at National Parks and campsites, providing ways to access help and support if required. This information needs to be inside toilet facilities too, as this may be the only time vulnerable people are alone and able to safely access help.

Abusive relationships occur in every walk of life, but whilst travelling can be a wonderful experience, we've learned that it can also be extremely stressful and significantly increase the vulnerability of people who may be hundreds of miles away from their usual support system.

It would be a fitting tribute if she could be remembered for her spirit of adventure and how she brought about change that could save lives.

Good Morning!

Do we know if the search has resumed yet? If so, can someone put the flight tracker link up? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

Looking at previous pics of the van, they had a large black cargo bag on top at the start of the trip. In the video where they are putting up the tent, there is a black object to the left of the tree seen before a search member stands in front of it. I suspect she was found in the black bag? IMO.

Ok fair enough

IMO the only marking that looks like it could be evidence is #13. Looks like the perimeter of the spray paint marking itself resembles blood as it’s a bit darker.

But it’s a moot point if the rest of the images don’t look like evidence.

I saw on here last Friday night the police had a gun case from the mustang? It was taken out of the trunk.? Can't find the comments and thread. Has it been confirmed anywhere that Brian had a concealed weapon permit in fla. Why have a permit and not a gun? Thank you. Could someone who saw the threads and comments please advise.

In Florida a person can own a gun (pending background check) and keep a loaded gun in their car or home without a carry permit. The carry permit is only required to conceal carry the gun on body. Open carry of a pistol is not permitted in Florida except for hunting, fishing, etc.

A Florida carry permit is accepted in reciprocity in many, but not all, states. It would be a fair assumption that most mid-west states would accept a Florida carry permit. California and New York would not. National parks, federal land, may have their own laws regarding firearms.

How do I delete this? I'm so old

Don't worry .. you can't delete it. All you can do is what you have done.
We often replace the text in one post with DBM (deleted by me) when a double post happens.

I hadn't seen Brian's art before, fwiw. Maybe im not the only one...

I also wasn’t aware that BL owned a gun. Taurus 380 handgun which has been said there are matching bullet holes at the site where gabby s body was found

I was just coming to post this! His gun, painted as an American flag, is pictured in this NY Post article:
Inside Brian Laundrie's bedroom as Gabby Petito's homicide confirmed

What I find chilling is that on the Nomadic Statik TikTok, there is a photo of Gabby posing with the same gun in 2020. It’s about 3/4 of the way through, immediately after a photo of BL in a brown shirt. It’s dark, but visible. I have a zoomed SS, but gather I am not allowed to post here. (Correct me if I’m wrong! I’m still learning.)
