Missing woman disappears after road trip with boyfriend as mom reveals message to authorities

Gabby Petito, 22, set out on a road trip with her boyfriend in a converted camper van in early July to tour National Parks, but she disappeared in late August and her family hasn't heard from her in more than two weeks. Now, her mother is pleading for help finding her daughter.

Nicole Schmidt, Petito's mother, said that the last verbal conversation she had with her daughter was on Aug. 25.

"I don't know if she left Grand Teton or not," Schmidt said. "I did receive a text from her on the 27th and the 30th, but I don't know if it was technically her or not, because it was just a text. I didn't verbally speak to her."

[...]

The couple stopped in Grand Teton National Park on Aug. 25, Petito's last known location, before a planned trip to Yellowstone. They were traveling in a 2012 Ford white van that was converted into a camper.

[...]

A spokesperson for the Jackson Police Department said that an "attempt to locate" call was recently filed for Petito. The Suffolk County Police Department is also investigating the case. Suffolk County PD declined to comment on Sunday.

Petito is 5’5" and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a triangle tattoo with flowers on her left arm and a "Let it be" tattoo on her right arm.

Anyone who has seen Gabby or has any information on the case should contact the Suffolk County Police Department at 1-800-220-8477.

Thanks for understanding and wishing each of you the best today.

According to police, the message read: "Can you help Stan, I just keep getting his voicemails and missed calls."
Schmidt told investigators that Stan is Petito's grandfather, but that she doesn't usually refer to him by his first name, the warrant, which was obtained by PEOPLE, states.

I just read this morning that a second person picked up BL hitchhiking and drove him to the campground.
Brian Laundrie manhunt: Woman in Wyoming says she picked him up hitchhiking


What if he was telling the truth to the people he hitchhiked with between Coulter Bay and the campground entrance?


Let’s say they set up camp at Spread Creek on Aug. 25th or 26th, maybe somewhere in the area where her body was eventually found, but not necessarily visible from the road. On the 27th, they decide to go to Jackson for lunch or whatever, eat at Merry Piglets, where BL gets angry. They go back to the campground, fighting, so he decides to take off and hike for a couple days, leaving GP at the campground with the van.


Several reviews online talk about poor cell coverage near the campsites they were at, but who knows if BL left her with her phone, or even the keys to the van (for driving...the doors could have been open). She didn’t contact anyone during that time simply because she didn’t have access.


Then, he hitchikes his way back to the campground by 6:30ish pm on the 29th, where she is upset (justifiably) that he left her alone that long. Maybe this argument turns violent and that’s when she is killed. This means he has to pick up camp, decide what he’s going to do, and leave during the night, which puts him driving out of WY and using her debit card to fill up with gas on the 30th, heading for FL.


Lots of holes, I know, but it kind of makes more sense to me that he would leave soon after killing her rather than hike for two days leaving the van sitting near her dead body. I don’t know...

Possibly...However, and this is strictly my opinion, I don't think he is in the Reserve. I think he is long gone. Smart tactic at this point (again, just my opinion) would be to find something to arrest one or both of his parents...get them into custody and interrogate/break them. They know a LOT more than they are saying at this point.
 
Good Morning all,
Thanks to the mods for all their hard work.

I have 4 questions.
1. Does anyone have recall that very early in the WS thread there was mention that the parents of BL went to his car to take it so it would make BL have to call for ride? This was before there was any info about the citation on his car. I am just wondering whether I read a hypothesis or it was factual.

2. The lawyer was first hired for BL.. .. not the family is that correct? Because i did come across a statement that BL made via his lawyer about "Ms. Petitio" but as far as i can see that is all the talking he did.

3. I noticed when searchers are in the big swamp buggy/plower they look to me to be not armed, look very chill.. does this discourage anyone from thinking he is actually in there alive or armed? In fact no one on scene looks very much like they feel there is danger present.

4. Regarding the deer cam, I use a deer cam to track feral cats, have they placed cameras in the reserve or is there another means to track night movement?

Again, thanks for the hard work. Hoping today there will be answers..

Good morning. I sure hope so.

I saw some threads about the parents meeting in a safe place to talk in case house was bugged. I was taught early on to learn ASL/SEE. It comes in handy. It drives people crazy when my youngest son and I do it because people can't 'overhear' us. I don't think the parents seem the type to be bothered with learning ASL though. They probably write on notepads in the home. JMO.

Gabby Petito: New details emerge about Brian Laundrie's behavior in the days after his fiance went missing - CNN

Talks about parents contacting FBI due to concerns he BL may harm himself

"Laundrie left his parents' home without his cell phone and wallet on the last day they reported seeing him. Laundrie's parents were concerned that he might hurt himself, the source said."
Click to expand...
wait..now they are worried? it's weird there has been no pleading "BL if you are out there please contact us " sort of communication from family.
 
Gabby Petito case: Where could Brian Laundrie be 10 days after slipping away?

"Diaz said he believes that Laundrie may have returned to the West because the swampy preserve is too inhospitable and because he likely doesn’t have enough money to bribe authorities abroad."

"He also said that he doesn't believe the FBI expects to find Laundrie in the swamp and noted that the bureau likely recovered location data from the Laundries’ Ford Mustang and is probably monitoring friends and relatives who could potentially aid him on the run."

"Who's in charge of the scene? Why not have the bureau out there in charge of the scene?" he said. "Because the bureau doesn't believe he's in the swamp."

Sounds like even the FBI doesn't believe Brian is in the swamp. The rest of the article has some interesting reads on why Brian may be in southern FL and why he wouldn't go to Mexico or out of the country.

I saw that this morning too. I'm more and more thinking that (and I know I have to be careful here) he wasn't the one who brought the van back to North Port on the morning of 9/1. I know it's technically possible for him to have really hauled fast between the 29th and the 1st, accounting for stopping to sleep and eat and rest, but...I dunno. He wasn't the one who moved the Mustang, he might not've been the one who moved the van.
