Found Deceased WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito, 22, Grand Teton National Park, 25 Aug 2021 #72

For anyone who wants photos of the bag, etc here it is EXCLUSIVE: Brian Laundrie's parents inside Florida park as police suggest 'we might have found something' | Fox News

I see what looks like mud and mold on the bag - but no significant hole. I do hope the notebook is readable and I do hope the two families can both have access to what, if anything, is legible from it.

And the post about the hole must be on a prior thread.

This is such a very sad story.

 

[SandSage]

Agreed. Maybe he used some sort of permanent ink, that still may not hold up well if being submerged under water for a month, but who knows - maybe it was floating in his backpack. He could have perhaps only been under 6" of water. Still so many unknowns!

I saw Sakura Pigma pens in a photo on his IG. Those are indelible so maybe *crosses fingers* MOO

I really wish they'd go home now and get a life. They keep hollering "Justice for Gabby."

If Brian is dead, and it sure looks as though he is at this point, then Brian already paid the ultimate price for her death. His parents will now have a much tougher path moving forward than Gabby's parents do. While both lost a child, the Laundries have also lost all the good memories of their son. No matter what good Brian might have done in his life, it's all overshadowed now by his killing of Gabby. Gabby's family can move forward with respect and purpose.

In the end, there are only losers here. No winners.

Sometimes I am embarrassed to be part of the human race. Laundries lost a child, too. The venom and hate this case has stirred is amazing, and not in a good way.

Dogs dont always find bodies easily. I know this from experience.

I hope that notebook is readable and contains something that helps Gabby's family get closure on what happened to her. Otherwise, what a heartbreaking end for them not to get their questions answered.

I agree, I hope there are readable answers in the notebook.

However, they may be painful for both families to read.

I am not sure if the general public will ever know what, if any, comments are in the notebook.

My opinion.

@Alkali13

FBI will provide update after possible human remains found in manhunt for Brian Laundrie

Okay, I can see where the thing I was referring to is in that picture, but I'm still not convinced the lower corner is a hole and not a part of the bag, the photos are awful.

I know people were looking for the exact bag online - any luck?

ETA - I should clarify that I'm wondering if the lower right corner is a hook for a strap to attach to. I never knew how hard it was to describe things on bags until now!

If it isn't BL then who else could it be??

Are the found items 100% confirmed to belong to BL?

I think it was confirmed by the parents or something. There must have been something that was really identifiable in there like an ID or his handwriting

 

[CaffienatedOwl]

Isn't death the ultimate justice?

I think its the easy way out - MOO. GPs father said it best on the Dr Phil show... lock him up in a jail cell and not let him enjoy the outdoors.

 

[Alethea]

Comparing the loss GP’s parents are experiencing to what the Laundries might be experiencing now…gross. Those families are not the same.

There’s enough compassion in the world for many families to mourn their children without it being a competition.

 

[Shellinaya]

I wanted him held accountable to justice....
:0(

If he's dead, whatever happened to him, it is a form of "justice" and it might be all the Petito family gets. Remember that a long prolonged trial that became a media circus might have not even found him guilty. In a way him being dead is more justice than that, and better than a taxpayer-funded life in prison or even an execution. But I'm sad for everyone involved today. I'm not looking for revenge. This has torn 3 families apart.

I wish we knew what had been found. It might have just been some bones along with his personal things.

 

[sunshineray]

Can someone please post evidence of the dry bag having a hole in it? I know it's been debated, but I haven't seen concrete proof.

It's possible that's actually his backpack in that bag?

 

[Deleted member 121463]

The backpack and the notebook are just too obvious for me. imo.
Look forward to DNA confirmation.

 

[cady]

How.tragic.all.around!
Sad!

No gloves???? jmo

Yeah, he probably knew his art supplies well, so if he ever intended to leave something for posterity he'd be able to do that.

Edit to add that the notebook might be the very reason he had the dry bag in the first place IMO.

 

[SouthAussie]

someone asked in previous thread for image of the bag found today during L family and LE search. The bag has been speculated in teh last thread to be a "dry" bag used to keep possessions dry. It appears to have a hole in it as something is poking out the bottom corner.

Laundrie's 'belongings found near trail' as medical examiner called

If it was Brian's dry bag, wouldn't it have been placed into an evidence bag?

Perhaps the dry bag is the police evidence bag.


(I imagine this has probably been discussed in the two previous threads that I haven't read. Sorry.)

 

[woods]

My question is why did he dispose of his old phone and purchased a new phone on September 4?

 

[Bertha96]

I don't think that is confirmed. I've read two versions of this story.

That is what WFLA reported. The parents called LE last night to inform them that they were going to search that spot today. Then LE met them there.

 

[tlcya]

for those who missed the presser and want to hear word for word. It is linked here.

Brian Laundrie’s notebook, backpack located in Carlton Reserve where partial human remains found, FBI says | WFLA

 

[Ur728]

BL's Mom is in video holding the plastic bag and just showing it to an officer, she doesnt give it to him. If that was evidence LE had found she'd not be in possession of it, hanging onto it....unless she's the one who found it and the video is of BL's parents reporting to LE what they found.

Do you have a link of the video showing RL holding the bag?

 

[Gemmie]

It was their idea. They had opened up the reserve and the parents told them last night they were going to search where his car was found.

What timing on the parents part. Of all days to go out for a search. Today. When human remains and a few of BLs things were found.

 

[skyedaze]

do I want to know what is in the notebook? frankly I'm sick of him and all of the energy he has sucked out of this Earth. bye
<modsnip> more positive activities can be brought forth from Gabby's life. I feel badly for his parents on a human level but they did zero for her and her family so...bye.
onward and upward for her lil rainbow angel wings.
MOO

 

[whitelilac]

no mention of a firearm found. If he had one <modsnip - no link>, it could still be there, sunk into the silt when the area was underwater.... maybe.
Obviously a skull wasn't found...

BL's Mom is in video holding the plastic bag and just showing it to an officer, she doesnt give it to him. If that was evidence LE had found she'd not be in possession of it, hanging onto it....unless she's the one who found it and the video is of BL's parents reporting to LE what they found.

Thank you. Whatever is poking out (the solar charger?) is blocking the hole some. Hopefully microscopic examination of the remaining ink will be possible.

Someone asked why FBI Denver is the main agency when Gabby was found in Wyoming. It's because WY isn't all that populated and we don't have an FBI field office. The closest one is Denver even though it's 8 hours away. That's just how life is here, one big town with long roads.

There are satellite offices in Wyoming, but no supervisory special agents. The field office in Denver oversees the smaller offices in that state, which is why Denver is the lead on this case.
