Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #51

Re: some of those Google reviews (MOO):

Written by someone who thinks he's clever, but he's quite the opposite. He reviewed a Carter's store (children's clothing store) and complained they didn't have his size. Very childish.

 

[moonlessnight]

plus the guy is way too short with a very small nose compared to BL.

I do not think that’s him in the video. If you watch the way he sits on the truck near the girl sitting down and when he sat down on the curb, in the sept 911 body cam video, he approached sitting much differently. Hands in the pockets he never does in any of his pictures with GP as they are always clasped out front or dangling at his side. And no I don’t believe he does that to hide tattoos.

 

[Skigirl]

Interesting read. The picture sure looks like him, but...

One review mentions his wife.
Another review mentions his kids.
Another one says something like, "he was born in mexico and never feels as good as he does in the arms of pedro." Is this a saying that just means being in mexico, or something?

I guess people can write anything they want to on those reviews.

JMO

I enlarged the photo (I'm reading the board on my laptop). It sure looks like him, right down to the tooth (or whatever that is) necklace.

I'm almost positive it's him. The places in NY range from 2-11 miles from his home town. Two of the places in FL are 10 miles from North Port. I think the South of the Border review that mentions Pedro is supposed to be funny, same for the mentions of the wife/kids. It's his name, it's his photo, and the account has existed for 4+ years. I'd chalk the name/picture up to a hoax, but given how close the places are to places he's associated with, I'm pretty sure it's his account. And he sounds like a pretty unpleasant guy.

I'm not disputing whether charges would have stuck or not had they found something to hold him with. I don't know what methods a DA would have had to keep him in jail or on a short lease while on bail. I just don't know and it doesn't seem they even tried as Sheriff Judd would have.

When did the NPPD have Brian, interview Brian, or even talk to Brian? ergo you can't hold something you never had to begin with.

Just a heads up. If YOU happen to spy BL, PLEASE use your phone to snap a pic. It will save 30 threads of discussion.

And don’t zoom! Unless you’re using a good 35mm camera! The phone images are poor quality when zoomed. Someone earlier said all supposed sightings look like they were photographed with a potato… I’m still chuckling but it’s so true.

California is a ghost town in northern Wirt County, West Virginia. It lies along the Hughes River, between the river and West Virginia Route 47 (the Parkersburg and Staunton Turnpike), about half a mile below the Ritchie County line, and just above the intersection of Route 47 with California House Road, or County Route 47–1.[1][2][3]

He told them he wanted to go to California too apparently. California, West Virginia. If this is him why would he be so brazen - in broad daylight? MOO The guy in video was driving White Tacoma.

LOL!

Sorry if this has already been posted but looks like two maintenance workers at a hotel in Cambridge, Ohio said they saw BL Saturday morning.

Two Maintenance Workers Say They Spotted Brian Laundrie at Ohio Motel: Reports

Per Google Maps, that’s roughly a 7-hour drive from the DD sighting. If the DD interaction happened at ~12:30am, and these two saw him at ~10:30am, the timeline fits.

 

[Sassafrass]

Why would dad have thought Gabby was at the Laundrie home, if he didn't know that BL had arrived there?

Naturally, the parents are thinking at first that both Gabby and BL might be missing. Gabby's mom in particular knew something of their schedule and was thinking by now, they were outside the Black Hole of Yellowstone's "no service." Gabby was in regular contact, but then Mom got the suspicious email (she might even have thought Brian wrote it - but. didn't think a thing about that. at the time).

Gabby's mom doesn't try to report her missing until Sept 10. She doesn't know the van is back at the Laundrie house - who. would immediately jump. to "Brian killed our daughter"?!?

The fact that the Laundries didn't respond to text or message was explained, at least short term, by their camping - it must have been known that the family. had made several camping trips to the same place, might be off grid once in a while. Everyone gets to go off grid once in a while.

Then...it becomes known that the van is at the house.

But you're saying that after Sept 10, you would have personally driven to the Laundrie's house? Why wouldn't you have driven to Wyoming to search in the last known place? That would have been my first thought.

I would not immediately suspect the Laundries and can't wrap my head around the fact that the Laundries turned out to be people who didn't answer texts or phone calls after Sept 1. But Gabby's family didn't know the van had been there that long...

Re the bolded - they weren't camping 9/10.

Its unclear to me when GP's parents first reached out to the Ls. It's been suggested or inferred or interpreted here and elsewhere that that occurred 9/10, though that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but whatever. In any case, by 9/10 the Laundries were home from any camping.

It goes without saying that you can't hold something you don't have.

We've been discussing on this board whether LE had seen BL or not. If they did see him and they did have something to arrest him on, they should have. I'm sorry, I thought these were the premises of the discussion all along.

To be clear, LE said they saw him but didn't talk to him. If they saw him, that means they could have arrested him on stealing the van -- PER Sheriff Judd, not me.

If they never saw him, then I guess they would have just had a warrant for his arrest based upon whatever it was they wanted to detain him for. That's how it works, I suppose.

(To be further clear, LE said they didn't see him when they took the van and I don't know when it is they claimed they did see him.)

Wonder how long it will be before somebody interviews the ex mentioned in bodycam.

I want to see the female officers body cam! She had a heart to heart with Gabby while she sat in the police car!

I agree but there is certainly a resemblance, it definitely needs to be followed up on and dare I say see if a dog hits on the he was standing and if they can find the person he was talking to? MOO IMHO

"Gabby's mother Nicole Schmidt told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that on September 10 she reached out to Brian and his mother Roberta Laundrie trying to reach her daughter after she had not heard from Gabby since August 25.

'I texted Brian's mom that I was trying to get in touch with Gabby. I also texted Brian. I got no replies,' Schmidt said."

" Another one says something like, "he was born in mexico and never feels as good as he does in the arms of pedro." Is this a saying that just means being in mexico."

Oh dear.
Urban Dictionary: Pedro

The review was for a Mexico-themed tourist attraction called "South of the Border," whose mascot is Pedro.

[A2FMNST]

If the entire bodycam video has been made public, and it has, why is the transcribed account full of redacted terms like “anxiety” when we’ve all watched and listened to their actual words? Just curious the point of blacking out certain words if it’s all been publicized anyway.

NOT HIPAA, but FOIA personal identification.

 

[annpats]

As much as I believe these are his, I don’t know how we can truly prove they are.
And actually someone shared that link here a few days ago. I tend to believe this is him as well, and yea, very strange.

One of the reviews (about South of the Border Motor Inn) mentions he was born in Mexico, then goes on to mention his children.

I don't think these Google place reviews are BL's reviews. Unless he's majorly BS-ing and writing any old trash, they don't seem to fit him.

I noticed that review too, just a second ago, and it also mentions his children.

[10ofRods]

plus the guy is way too short with a very small nose compared to BL.

Even if I show 15 minutes of video of a person wandering around, when I then (5 minutes after it's over) ask students to identify the "guy in the blue sweater" by his face, they mostly can't do it.

Which is why it's really hard to find missing people who don't want to be found. If BL is smart, he'll stay out of National Parks and stick to less scrutinized places - and he now knows quite a few of those places.

When did the NPPD have Brian, interview Brian, or even talk to Brian? ergo you can't hold something you never had to begin with.

Sheriff Judd would have had no reason to talk to or hold or arrest Brian before the missing persons report was filed - and even then, no real cause.

Brian is gone before her body is found - at which points the Feds hurry to give nationwide LE a reason to detain him.

That Sheriff is puffing himself up, IMO.

 

[JerseyWasHome2]

My guess would be HIPAA. That is medical information. Anxiety is a diagnosed medical condition.

Absolutely. But the video was made public and nothing was blocked out of the audio.

Per Google Maps, that’s roughly a 7-hour drive from the DD sighting. If the DD interaction happened at ~12:30am, and these two saw him at ~10:30am, the timeline fits. And again with the white truck.

I didn't see mention of a white truck with this sighting. I did see mention of it (in this article) in relation to the other sighting at the NC/TN border.
