Ftlog, I am up to the point where she is being told in the car that she will not be charged with domestic violence and you can see her completely unravel - not knowing that this discussion of her being the aggressor was happening outside of her presence this whole time. A conclusion which was wrongfully based because it was formed on incomplete FACTS. How I wish she would have stated right there that he had 1) Locked her out of the car 2) Got into the driver's seat and 3) Had her phone and how she had to claw her way into that vehicle to not be left. But we have all had those "shoulda, coulda, woulda" moments in the clarity of 20/20 hindsight and she was likely thinking of only 1 thing "My god, they're considering arresting 'me' for this!"
She had been protecting him throughout the entirety of this "stop" and they were protecting him. They should have looked at the registration - at least then they might have "thought" to press her for more details and learn the fuller picture of facts.
So common for the true victim to protect the abuser out of both fear and hope he'll change. Abuse and reactive abuse are both wrong but the motives are very different. MOO
 
Perhaps though, Brian was a little menace, and attorney was always on standby.

Ha.

Or, if he is truly that innocently paranoid, believing that police are going to frame him for murder just because his gf isn't with him, then wouldn't he also be afraid of being framed for all the other crimes that happen around him? Arsons, robberies, assaults, terrorist attacks: better have an attorney on speed dial cause you're going to be the scapegoat, for sure.

I literally was on an hour ago and a new thread has already started, I’ve been listening to Nancy grace podcasts and she brings up an excellent point, first of all no he doesn’t have to talk…JMO if my person was missing and I loved them so much and I was innocent I’d be BEGGING and another thing Gabbys mom got that text wrong location and within the next day he was in Florida?? Something is fishy
I get this idea, but just because he's innocent of murder doesn't mean he's "innocent" per se. My guess is he did something that he thinks makes him responsible for the current situation and a lawyer has advised him to keep his mouth shut, even if it IS as simple as "she wanted to stay somewhere and told me to leave and bring the van home."

That, or there was an accident and he panicked and now he's screwed because of the way he's behaved.

ETA: MOO MOO MOO
 
I was just thinking of this scenario ( which by the way it’s great)
But even if they were in an argument and she fell off a cliff wouldn’t he call the cops in panic because she fell down a cliff? You hear of stories of people going out w friends and someone falls off the cliff the people call for help….they don’t just leave come home and pretend nothing happened. Oh the whole thing is so odd.

Judging from the bodycam video, it appears that anything is possible with her mental state. If the simplest answer (he killed her) isn’t what happened, then maybe these scenarios: After dealing with cops and being told she is an “abuser” and he is “abused”, that may have drastically changed their relationship. She may have had another mental episode and gone AWOL (and been victim to someone else) and he panicked and just drove straight home believing that no one would accept his side of things.

Or he may have had a mental break itself and simply abandoned her. And went home due to panic for the consequence/shame of leaving her behind. I have heard Attys and cops say his ‘lawyering up’ and not speaking is actually expected and normal in these kinds of cases.
 
Considering other then Gabby Petitos parents claiming something sinister happened, is there actually any actionable evidence that her boyfriend did anything other then what he says?

Considering if you watch the police body cam footage in its entirety from when they were stopped and spent a night apart, both Gabby and the boyfriend say separately that he told her he was putting her out of the van and leaving her then.

I would say its safe to assume that would likely have been his same reaction again if another row had developed. Its probable that if that is what happened then while it was a foolish decision to abandon her, he likely did what he had originally tried to do and surely the police should be looking for other ways she could have come to harm.

Have animal attacks been looked at as a possibility in the national park?
 
Here's an article that quotes Gabby's mother with saying Brian, what happened in Wyoming happened in Wyoming.

Thanks for the link !

I think it was BL's mother who said that.
His parents need to encourage him to speak up.
Their silence is unacceptable.
Gabby's family is suffering.

Someone in the last thread posited that BL's parents may know nothing and/or that BL has lied to them.
Fair enough, but they need to be supportive of Gabby's family.
She is the only victim.
Anything else is insulting to Gabby's family.
The Laundry family may be feeling a little heat from the public and certainly pressure from LE in their recent statements... but they're not suffering.
A far cry from a young life that's missing without even a state to start with in their search for her.

They have their son and he is safe and presumably being hidden by them; as he hasn't been seen out shopping or at work ?
I'd disagree regarding their first statement from their lawyer , both families aren't suffering.
MOO.

Here is my take on what could have happened:-



You have two young people who are in love and have decided to take a trip around the country, Initially BL is happy to be travelling around with his girlfriend taking in the sights etc. GP has a slightly different view of the trip, hoping that this will be an ideal way to spend time with her boyfriend and to also get into social media vlogs etc.

After a while cracks start to appear in the relationship, there are tensions resulting from cramped living conditions, BL being ‘not clean’, GP trying to get her social media stuff done. I believe that BL had probably driven off before after an argument and that is why the police cam incident occurred. GP did admit on police cam that she did hit BL and she was scared he was going to drive off. I wonder if this is the way BL dealt with their arguments etc.

I think maybe after this incident tempers flared again and BL decided he’d had enough and they decided to split up, resulting in him flying home and getting rid of her things. If he told his parents that she had physically hurt him during arguments they may have been more inclined to say “well let’s get her stuff out of here” etc. Maybe they talked on phone and decided they still loved each other and were going to try again so he returns to GP.

Then unfortunately nothing changes and another big argument happens. This time maybe BL has definitely had enough and angrily decided to drive off once and for all to spite her, not thinking of the consequences. They may have been in an area where he thought it was quite safe leaving her there, people around, with provisions etc and she would make her own way home . Then after returning home and not hearing from her maybe he tries calling but gets no answer and thinks she is ignoring him. This maybe why he hadn’t said anything to anyone and why he’s locked himself away. Then it all changes when her mums calls/texts and wants to know where GP is - he panics knowing he’s left her alone and keeps quiet.

I really don’t think he would have killed her because, if he had, surely he would return with a ‘prepared story’ about how she met someone else and decided to go travelling with them instead, etc.

This is just one theory - MOO. I just hope that she is found soon.

I think this is the most likely scenario. They have one last blow-up fight and he leaves her by herself, blinded by his emotion of what that could ultimately entail.
 
I'm a little tired of the media painting Brian as a kid when he's almost 24 years old. At 24 I was an actual attorney responsible for litigating cases myself. To be hiding behind your parents at 24...yikes.

Hey, where did you see that this quote is attributed to BL’s mother? I’ve only seen it attributed to Gabby’s mother in MSM, but that’s much more incriminating if it’s his mom’s words.

See I will be in the minority here but I don't think this is at all appropriate. It is most likely disruptive to innocent neighbors, let alone interfering in an ongoing investigation. Let LE do their jobs!

No, I think it was NS (GP's mother) who said that, I will try and find a link. It was a way of her saying, "What happened/what you may have done isn't important. What's important is bringing Gabby home."

ETA: It was in a statement from GP's family.
Gabby Petito’s family says her boyfriend left her ‘in the wilderness with grizzly bears and wolves’
 
I'm not convinced she made it to Wyoming. Last posted photo is said to be from The Monarch, posted on 8/25. Metadata should be checked to confirm it was also taken that day, not merely posted. I wonder if LE is checking out Waterfall Canyon which is right next to The Monarch.

Something else very suspect: according to one report a family friend said “After August 30, Gabby’s parents could not get in touch with Gabby or her fiancé. Her fiancé’s mother also did not respond to phone calls.Gabby Petito's mother says texts may not be from her daughter - J99news
This leads me to believe that by August 30th, his parents knew. Possible timeline now is between 8/25 (possibly sooner if that picture was taken sooner) and probably 8/29 the latest.
 
Wednesday Aug 25- Gabby and her mother talk on FaceTime. Those adorable pictures of GP taken at that mural in Moab, almost two weeks prior, are posted on Instagram.
Friday, Aug 27- texts sent from Gabby’s phone

probably not important but the mural is in Ogden not Moab so is north of SLC and en route to GTNP

Yess!!! Florida doesn’t play! Remember the Anthony’s house??

it could’ve been a terrible accident maybe they did argue and she fell or he did leave her and now can’t find her and he panicked it absolutely doesn’t make him guilty of murder but it looks so bad on him
