BREAKING: Gabby Petito case, "body found," per CNN

Of course the fiancé did it

Can't help but wonder how his family came to be named Laundrie. Is it a place in France, or what?

Yes Laundries is an elegant neighborhood in Nantes.

Grand Teton National Park is to die for!

R6, it is. I can’t wait to go back there.

We’re the other threads deleted?

Here’s the best thread, rp

I feel badly for her and her family, but the incessant coverage of this story just proves the Pretty Middle-Class White Victim critique of the news media. It has been obvious for days that she’s dead and he did it - no need for a new report at the top of every hour.

That other thread is a mess. Trolls posting the same shit over and over. No thanks.

[quote] I feel badly for her and her family,

Don’t feel them then.

R11, I think the non-stop coverage is due to Gabby being from the NYC area which is a media center. The Murdaugh murders are much more interesting as is the murder of the missing wife in Salida , Co.

That's no way to end this/I know how I, want you to say goodbye...

Tell me on a Sunday please.

NY Post headline when he turns himself in: "Laundrie Comes Clean, Family Name Suffers Permanent Stain"

FBI press conference live now

That's almost as good as "Headless Body in Topless Bar," r16, though I'd edit the second part to make it sound snappier.

The body is Gabby Petito's. RIP.

Cause of death not yet determined.

[quote] Cause of death not yet determined.

Gee, I wonder what could have caused her death... Eating a bad clam?

Very sad. His refusal to speak to law enforcement made it clear that he had done something terrible. His family should be charged for covering for him.

Obviously this is now a murder investigation. I hope an alligator eats the bald motherfucker.

I can't say I am shocked but it is sad.

I think they did drugs and she ODed. He was scared and covered it up.

The boyfriend is at the top of our Laundrie list.

Well, she's so far decayed now that they couldn't possibly determine if it was manual strangulation, choking with rope or a sheet, blunt force trauma, or a GSW.

Wouldn't it be freaky if a slug is pulled from her remains that matches the lesbian couple in Moab?

They both reached for the gun!

CNN: FBI Director Christopher Wray to Speak on Status of Gabby Petito Investigation at 8:00pm EST

Nice throwback, r30!

😂

Gabby's dad

[quote] Well, she's so far decayed now that they couldn't possibly determine if it was manual strangulation, choking with rope or a sheet, blunt force trauma, or a GSW.

You don’t know much about forensic pathology, do you?

Where exactly in the park did they find her, did they say?

Heat exhaustion.

Maybe it's Naya Rivera.

sorry but I haven't been following this, how old was she? what did she do for a living?

The boyfriend couldn't have done it! He's too hawt!

Radio report said she may have been eight-weeks pregnant.

my gut tells me they did drugs. manslaughter at most, no intent.

OMG

[quote]but the incessant coverage of this story just proves the Pretty Middle-Class White Victim critique of the news media. It has been obvious for days that she’s dead and he did it

There was endless coverage of that non-white Naya Rivera woman too. People clamoring for law enforcement to drain that lake.

She's 22 years old, she was a van life vlogger (or something like that).

Omg I have that same shirt in R32! I’m tied to the case!

R11, tell that to all the people who defended him and said she must have just died by accident

Yeah, and instead of reporting the "accidental" death he just drove off in the van and never reported it....Sure, Jan!

and the boyfriend, he is a vlogger too?

[QUOTE] sorry but I haven't been following this, how old was she? what did she do for a living?

R37 as he groggily emerges from a week-long Golden Girls binge.

Maybe she fell off the ladder?

Was it…natural causes?

How does flip flops on the ground lead to MURDER? (The putative cell phone could be anything.)

What's so sad about tweets like the one at R32 from her dad: "She touched the world" is the fact she obviously didn't - not in life, anyway. Which is the case for the vast, vast majority of 22 year olds. And now she will never get the chance to do so. All those possibilities and future timelines snuffed out with her. Yes, it's the same when anyone dies. It's always sad.

He's probably overwhelmed by the interest that has been shown in Gabby in the past few days, r51.

She has been dead and buried for about a month. She was soup when found. They must've identified her by the clothes she was wearing?

Decomposition was a problem in the Caylie Anthony case (Casey the mother). I think the jurors felt like "what was the cause of death?" Doctor G (expert witness) wasn't helpful, IMO, during the Casey Anthony trial.

[quote] Well, she's so far decayed now that they couldn't possibly determine if it was manual strangulation, choking with rope or a sheet, blunt force trauma, or a GSW.

I've watched an autopsy being done of a man who died by suicide, hanging. The examiner showed me the hyoid bone and the area. You can detect a strangulation by the bones.

It takes longer than a month for a body to decay, R53. There’s plenty left. And if she was buried, that actually helps preserve the corpse. I predict that they will have no problem determining the cause of death.

Reddit is saying the boyfriend likely suicided. He is missing/ran off

Shuishided.

SHE’S BLOND, YOUNG AND WHITE!

This case needs some GRACE!

[quote] but the incessant coverage of this story just proves the Pretty Middle-Class White Victim critique of the news media.

It’s the Age of Instagram. There are 1,000 photos of her and she looks great in every one of them. She was very photogenic. And the backgrounds are great - mountains, deserts, beaches, boats, hip little health food stores zoomers visit to sip cayenne soy avocado smoothies.

BlondE, Grace. Blonde.

r60 Her being white definitely plays into the amount of media coverage this is getting. It's sad but true.

[quote] What's so sad about tweets like the one at R32 from her dad: "She touched the world" is the fact she obviously didn't - not in life, anyway.

Would have preferred he said

“She ain’t did shit. But I’m gonna miss her”?

r42,

"People clamoring for law enforcement to drain that lake."

It's stunning how stupid people are. Water is gold in the West. They don't simply drain reservoirs. Ugh.

Who are all the other pretty, young white blondes whose disappearance and murder became a news hit?

The reason poor Gabby's story made the news in such a way is because what happened to her was a mystery and her boyfriend and probable murderer came back and then disappeared. There is a "true crime" aspect to this story, especially with all the state line crossings and their weird road trip, not to mention the horrific policy body cam video where she's crying with fear.

All that's true, r65, but you know how we do it in the USA. She's young, pretty, blonde and missing - 24/7 coverage.

Natalee Holloway, lost in Aruba, comes to mind.

This just in: Body of Topo Gigio found at Grand Old Opry. RIP, little fella. He's with Cheesus, now.

I wonder why people are surprised the boyfriend's family wasn't more helpful. More often than not, psycopathic pieces of shit come from families that nurture their behavior. They've always known who he is, and now they have blood on their hands. I hope the true crime crazies in Florida make their life a living hell.

[quote] not to mention the horrific policy body cam video where she's crying with fear.

Um, the boyfriend called the police because she was attacking him. They noted scratches all over his arms and HE declined to press charges and was put up overnight at a domestic violence shelter.

She was crying because she thought she was going to be arrested.

r67, doesn't the coverage/interest of this dwarf Holloway by a factor of 100? I mean, this is unreal. I am not a Redditor, but I did click a Reddit link posted in one of the other threads. There were many thousands of posts in various threads.

Can we stop bitching that the news only covers crimes against pretty blonde women? We KNOW.

And in the true crime subreddits and true crime television, there has been a very obvious effort to correct this. We are working on it. There has been more attention paid to women and girls of color all over the place. The disappearance of Asha Degree is a perennial favorite discussion.

Maybe I’m just older and more disconnected, but the Natalie Holloway murder coverage was much more intense, involving international intrigue and whatnot. Plus, it dragged on forever.

"We" are working on it? I take it you're a heavy participant in this shit or you're just over-identifying with it.

What’s an Asha Degree?

Natalee Holloway disappeared 16 years ago, r67, so the pretty blonde white girl phenomenon is hardly that common. Again, the reason the Holloway case got so much attention was because of the "mystery" aspect to it.

Around 2000 women are killed by men every year in the US and no doubt some of them are pretty young blonde women, yet they don't get any media coverage. The only reason we hear maybe once a decade about the disappearance and murder of a young pretty blonde white woman is because she's missing in strange circumstances and there is a "mystery" element to the case.

[Quote]Well, she's so far decayed now that they couldn't possibly determine if it was manual strangulation, choking with rope or a sheet, blunt force trauma, or a GSW.

When I made this comment, I meant by visual inspection of the remains. Chances are there wasn't an actual autopsy by the time of the news conference and she was IDed by clothing, jewelry, or items on her remains.

You're talking shit, r70. Laundrie did not call the police. A passer by who saw them having a fight called the police. Laundrie didn't decline to press charges - there were no charges to be pressed.

Are you sure he was put up overnight in a domestic violence shelter? Because that's the first I've heard of that.

Since Laundrie on the good side of the police and has no hesitation in calling them, why did he disappear and why hasn't he come forth to explain to the police what happened?

She was crying because she was distraught. And now she's been murdered by that piece of shit that you support.

R70 is indeed full of shit.

R65, Lauren Spierer is another one in the "Missing Blonde Girl" club

And what do you find objectionable about the coverage of the Lauren Spierer case, r80?

Brian himself said that the scratches on his arms weren't from her. He told the cops this. Why do we always have posters like r70 who show up on these threads to derail the discussion?

As far as the “only blonde white girls” who disappear are covered by the media…. Does nobody remember dark-haired, obviously Jewish Chandra Levy’s case?? It was covered incessantly. Yes, she was fucking a Congressman who was a person-of-interest, but still…

This is very sad.

Asha Degree was a sweet looking little Black girl who disappeared from her home in NC around or over 20 years ago. She was seen walking in the pouring rain on a road near her home at 4am on a school day. This was uncharacteristic of her as she was a studious, well-behaved young lady.

The case has never been solved. It’s very sad.

I find that the people who complain about the coverage of pretty white girl murders are the most fascinated by them. Maybe they're secretly happy to see a charmed life ended and especially by a lover.

She's not even pretty ffs.

R83, that was because she was involved with a Congressman, she was also from a well-off family

BTW, most people who go missing are poor and a disproportionately large number are minorities

Adena Watson

R70 UM, stop making up stuff.

I think she was pretty…and had a nice body. Kind of had a Gigi Hadid thing going on.

How long have they known each other?

Only 22 and engaged already! That's the problem right there

They went to high school together.

R81, she was a skanky drug ho who was treated like a saint because she was white and from a rich family. People wouldn't have cared if she was from the ghetto

Did they ever find Holloway's body?

Regarding Asha Degree, I personally think she may have been snatched from her house by an intruder (like Polly Klaase) and the people who claim they saw her walking in the rain were mistaken.

No, R95, they never found her

[quote]she was a skanky drug ho

Receipts, R94?

Gabby projected a wholesome, happy, healthy image.

Now we know she had mental illness and dated someone far beneath her in every way.

And he killed her.

R78 Laundrie was put up in a hotel paid for a DV charity. The police organised it. They were going to arrest Gabby but said they wouldn’t if they agreed to spend the night apart to cool down.

Not saying that was right or fair, but it’s what happened.

[quote]Gabby projected a wholesome, happy, healthy image.

She screamed Borderline.

If this had been a black couple they would have found a reason to hold onto the man instead of allowing him to skip away. That seemed so stupid not too keep him under custody.

R101, if that’s what you’re looking for I guess. Or going by the body cam video. But her social media image came across as happy and upbeat. And she was pretty in an unthreatening way.

[quote] Around 2000 women are killed by men every year in the US

Surely it’s more than that?

[quote] There is a "true crime" aspect to this story, especially with all the state line crossings and their weird road trip, not to mention the horrific policy body cam video where she's crying with fear.

Yes, it has a “stay tuned….situation unfolding…more coming up tomorrow” aspect to it.

It’s not like she was murdered in her home town by her no-good baby daddy, who was father to one of her 3 children who lived with their grandmother in a depressed town in the Ozarks.

This case has sunshine, smiling faces, an on-the-road-again vibe. Yeah, she’s pretty. She has all of her teeth and they’re white & straight and visible in every photo. She wasn’t 190 lbs or wearing frizzled, outdated bangs and a muffin top. She wasn’t fucking her husband’s best friend. Everything was clean, manicured and looked like an SUV commercial, overlooking picturesque southwest Americana. [italic] And there’s stunning video to being released sometime tomorrow [/italic] according to police.

And stunning it was. The happy, tidy young people on a lark devolved into the pretty girl all weepy & jittery, admitting to domestic violence because of her OCD.

Ohhh God, they’ve all got something, don’t they, to explain their bad behavior and to get themselves prescriptions for meth and a benzo, dont they? They’re all a mess on their meds including their anti depressant and their weed and their Vicodin

Oh. And she’s disappeared. And he’s came home, said nothing about her then went out & hasn’t come back.

Come on. That’s interesting.

She fell in love with the wrong guy who kept her off balance. It happens and half the time she probably wanted to kill him. Despite being follicle challenged he was supposed to have been charismatic. She probably loved him deeply.

I wasn't criticizing her father, R63. He's shocked and grieving, he and the rest of this poor girl's family only have my sympathy. My comment was simply regarding the sadness of someone dying so young. She was so unhappy in that video, and now we all know - as does her family - that there will be no redemption, no chance to experience a happy, loving relationship, motherhood, growing older and living her life. It's very sad. That's all.

So she mental?

Did she graduate college? Any job?

Learn English, R108.

R100, Laundrie was put up in a hotel so they would stay apart for the night, not because he was a victim of domestic violence. In the words of the police officer:

[quote]"I want you guys to stay away from each other for both of you guys’ sanity. From what you told me and what he told me, you guys have a lot of little things that are building up, building up that finally the little string you guys were tight-walking on broke."

If only the police officer didn't have such stereotypes about young pretty white blonde girls and didn't think they were all just hysterics who need to be put on medication to shut them up, Gabby might be alive today. if only he'd paid attention to he real signs of distress and not dismissed her as just a silly woman like his wife. As he said to Gabby:

[quote]"My wife has really really bad anxiety and she takes medication for it daily. Sometimes, it’s not enough. Sometimes it just builds up," the officer says. "I will say this, when my wife got put on the medication, within a week, I saw a complete turnaround in her attitude. Her demeanor. She wasn’t nearly aggressive, or angry. It was a considerable difference in her day-to-day life. It made her quality of life better. It’s made my quality of life a lot better too because I don’t have her being as stressed. I know, five and half years of marriage, isn’t very long but at the same time you learn a lot."

What about the guy? What did he do for a living?

He lived off of his girlfriend and his parents. I have yet to hear of him having a job.

On the news, they said it was a 4 month long trip. To be living in that small space with someone is not a great idea.

Definitely fought over something really stupid and got out of hand

R114 " Definitely fought over something really stupid and got out of hand"

Glad you could give us direct insight

Christ, I bet that cop quoted at R111 had/has no idea how biased he is, or how fucked up it was of him to totally project his own personal issues onto two strangers (one of whom was obviously distressed and later turned up dead).

[quote] It's stunning how stupid people are. Water is gold in the West. They don't simply drain reservoirs. Ugh.

Even when there's a dead body decomposing in the reservoir? That's tacky and gross!

R104 It’s low but that statistic is from 2020. Men are more likely to be victims of homicide than women. Men are more likely to die in any situation except childbirth.

R98, do a Google search. She was a heavy drug user and was seriously drunk when she went missing. You're ghetto rats comments probably mean you're a fat, racist redneck and a Trump voter

[quote] Men are more likely to die in any situation except childbirth.

Take that transphobic shit and get the fuck out of here with your literal violence!

I can’t go on Twitter right now.

This is an opportunity for women to attack men. Women are angelic mysterious innocent creatures and men are demons from hell.

R121 You sound equally unhinged. Way to make this about you!

r119, unless you bring receipts--we know you're a lying piece of shit. And I'm no Dump voter. You might be though.

R116, it was the cop trying to be "relatable" to this Gabby and her OCD issues (which she told him about). They are trained to do that, bring in personal things to help calm people down..

Not everything has to be an affront.

[quote] Laundrie was put up in a hotel so they would stay apart for the night, not because he was a victim of domestic violence. In the words of the police officer:

Who do you think paid for the hotel? The cops? It was paid for by Seekhaven, a “family crisis charity”.

And fuckoff with your pointless rants, please.

Gabby admitted hitting and punching him. Brian had scratches on him he said came from Gabby. On this basis it was determined that he was the victim and she the aggressor which is why the charity paid for him and not her. Those are simply the facts.

You weren’t there, the police were. They are there to deal with crimes not psychoanalyse everyone. Brian is to blame for this, no one else.

R124, we're not talking about it being an "affront" but about how this cop missed all the fucking signs about what was going on.

I'm not sure how "relatable" it was or how it would have calmed Gabby down for the cop to tell her that his wife is also crazy but she's a little better now she's on meds.

And also, R111, if you bothered listening to the police cam all the way through you will get to the part where the police officer tells Gabby he will have to arrest her unless they spend the night apart & Brian asks to go to jail instead of her.

That was what was going on whether you like it or not.

I am aware that you enjoy performing these tedious “feminst, diatribes but stick to the fucking facts because it’s deeply annoying having to correct you.

The police officer explicitly said that the only reason they were taking Laundrie to a hotel for one night was to separate him and Gabby for a bit so the situation between them could calm down, r125. As a man, and a very misogynist one at that, you obviously have no idea what actually happens in shelters for victims of domestic abuse - they don't get sent back to their abusive partner after just one night.

The fact is that Laundrie appears to have murdered Gabby, r127. Gabby is dead. If anyone was a victim of violence in that relationship, it was her not him. It's not a "feminist diatribe" to be outraged at a violent, abusive man killing a woman.

So why did Brian ask to go to jail insteagpd of Gabby?

The situation was basically, “I won’t arrest you if you stay apart tonight to calm down”.

It’s all there in the tape.

And I’m not a misogynist but with annoying cunts like you around it”s becoming very hard not to be.

It's possible that Gabby didn't tell the cop: "He (Laundrie) attacked me and I scratched his face in self-defense." I think the cop was doing the best he could under the situation. They have to make judgment calls all day long. He was trying to use his personal experience to understand the situation. Who would have known the final outcome.

I wonder if those cops just didn't want to be bothered. "Talk down to the chick to diffuse the situation" kind of crap?

Sorry to get you angry r130. Why not go punch a woman so you can get all your aggro out of your system?

They both were van vloggers and engaged. They went on this trip to vlog van life. Apparently, life cooped up in a van is not for everyone. Not sure how you come home with no fiance in tow, refuse to talk to police and hire a lawyer right when you get home makes you look innocent?

It doesn't matter who was asked to go to jail. The cops were wrong. In the end, Brian was the violent one.

No, R129, you are trying to blame the police, not just Brian who is the ONLY person responsible for Gabby’s death.

That is what I am objecting to, you cretin. You weren’t fucking there.

How were the cops wrong? What, they didn’t look into their crystal ball and see that Gabby would be dead a few weeks later?

R137, preventing crime and protecting members of the public is, in fact, what the police are supposed to do.

What the fuck is a van vlogger? How about getting a fucking job?

Fuck, I wanna know what the cop’s wife is taking.

I bet the cop’s wife loves being put on blast like that and now we are all talking about it.

I feel for Gabby’s family and she didnt deserve this. But I did roll my eyes when she told the cops “my OCD made me attack him” or whatever she said. Oh, Gen Z

Where was she staying after he took the van?

She was staying dead, R142.

To whatever "r" says women don't get sent back to their abusive partners after one night. True, they usually go back voluntarily within a day or two and the DV shelter personnel are trying to talk them out of it.

Sad but true. If I remember rightly an abused partner who gets out leaves quite a few times before it "takes" and they stay away.

Yes blame the woman r144, who may have little other choice. A friend of mine works in a shelter and it is not at all like the stereotype you are claiming. Probably none of the women in her shelter go back to the man.

That's still an entirely different situation from Laundrie being sent to a hotel for just for one night so things could cool down.

[quote]BREAKING: Gabby Petito case, "body found," per CNN

DIBS!

They're standing on her GRAAAAAAAAAAAAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is so reprehensible to me that his parents were getting frantic texts from her parents, Gabby lived in Florida with the boyfriend’s family, and the boyfriend’s parents just went radio silent. I cant even imagine that level of sociopathy

No dice, R145, but nice try.

I worked in a DV shelter for three years. I know what I'm talking about. Most of the women go back within a day or two. Some last a week, some stick it out longer and break off the relationship but most don't. It's an extremely complex set of relationships, including those with both parents and their children.

I don't know where this magic shelter is where everybody stays and successfully gets out of their relationship immediately. Sounds like a fantasy.

[quote]If only the police officer didn't have such stereotypes about young pretty white blonde girls

I don't think it had anything to do with stereotypes of pretty white girls. In college in about 1996 a friend of mine was hit several times by her boyfriend, he got arrested, she came to my apartment to make the call and then left to make a statement at the station, where she was arrested because the boyfriend claimed she threw an ice cube at him. They had her take off her top in front of a two-way mirror to show the marks and bruises on her but he didn't have to show any evidence of the ice cube "injury." Her parents had to get an attorney who told them that this was really common, and the only reason charges against her were dropped is because the cop forgot to show up to the arraignment.

She wasn't a pretty blonde white girl. She was more like the imaginary fat lady from the Ozarks that some verbose troll earlier in the thread described (for reasons that aren't particularly clear). From what she told me the lawyer said, it sounded like all the women got this kind of treatment regardless of how they looked.

Just look at these threads, all these guys saying Gabby was a psychopath and killed for good reason, she's an abuser, she's evil, Brian's the real victim. There are a lot of people who honestly believe that. It's just their instinctual, knee-jerk reaction to everything, it's never the man, it's always the crazy lady.

[quote]What the fuck is a van vlogger? How about getting a fucking job?

How about you shut up, grandpa? Go find one of the 4000 "back in my day" threads on DL and self-soothe like you always do instead of wandering into a thread like this with ideas and concepts that terrify and enrage you.

R149 Weaving intricate stories of your past doesn't make it factual. The truth likely lies between.

[quote]It's possible that Gabby didn't tell the cop: "He (Laundrie) attacked me and I scratched his face in self-defense."

I still think she scratched his face when she was scrambling to get into the van when he'd locked her out of it, I think that's what she meant by "My OCD made me scratch him." Or maybe when she was trying to get her phone back (he apparently didn't have his own phone with him).

He didn't have his own phone and was constantly using hers? For four months?

He should have ended up dead in the Grand Tetons, not her.

Stories like this give you guys something to be laughably bitchy about, so at least Gabby didn't die in vain.

Chandra Levy wasn't blonde.

A websleuth Youtuber named Popcorned Planet showed a screenshot of a map app of Gabby's - and apparently Brian is in Puerto Rico.

Chandra Levy was a rich white girl from a very privileged family.

During their fight, he was trying to leave her behind to cool off, saying they needed space from each other.

That makes sense, except stranding a young woman in a strange town when she's in distress is manipulative and likely worsened her emotional state.

I'm sure I would have freaked the fuck out if my boyfriend tried driving away without me. Who knows how manipulative he had been with her. Narcissists know how to push buttons until the other person loses their shit.

Here's a thought-perhaps the person who drove back to Florida alone and refused to help her distraught loved ones find her, or even notify them that she didn't come back, is not a great guy. Maybe he is adept at charming police officers and whoever else he needs to do he can be "the good guy."

Jonbenet Ramsey had blonde hair.

He did have a chance to reach out to authorities in Wyoming and explain what happened if it was an accident.

He sent a text to her mother as Gabby after she had died. He refused to give helpful info, even just "we parted ways in Wyoming because it was getting too intense and she didn't want to drive the van, so I did, but I haven't heard from her since then."

He has not done anything to give the impression that he isn't a shitty human.

The suffering her family endured for weeks, now the trauma of her death being confirmed, the likelihood that his family helped him escape, the torment they'll live with until they die-it all rests on the shoulders of Brian and his family.

There needs to be consequences and closure for her family, to whatever extent possible.

It's hard to believe the boyfriend was able to just disappear .

R162, it's hard to believe on his own, seeing as how he doesn't seem to have been employed and the van was in her name. Yet somehow he has the money to have retained an attorney shortly after visiting his parents.

That photograph taken in Brian's neighborhood in the past few days, was that guy who looked exactly like Brian actually Brian or another local slacker?

another COVID death

I’ve seen people speculate that some of the texts Gabby’s mother received might have been from Brian pretending she was still alive…is that the case? On their Instagram accounts people are saying he wrote her most recent posts…

We don't know if it's true, r166. One of the last photos posted was weirdly captioned "Happy Halloween" which seemed really off, it wasn't the kind of boring caption she would write AND it was posted in August.

Should add to my post at r167 that the emojis that went with the post included a fly, which doesn't make sense, and apparently she or Brian mentioned at some point that their van excursion was supposed to end on Halloween. People are speculating that the "Happy Halloween" post on her IG was something she saved in her drafts for when the trip was over, and Brian just posted it to make it look like she was still alive.

We don't have any actual evidence that this happened, it's just speculation.

I suppose it's too much to hope that he fed himself to the alligators.

Maybe they got him anyway, they're fast as lightning when they're after some food.

The last IG post, August 25

[quote] Happy Halloween 🪰🎃

Brian included the fly because he knew she was dead and rotting in her grave. The smiling jack-o'-lantern symbolizes himself. Ghoulish fuck.

He's not the type who commits suicide. But she is. Maybe she offed herself, and he thought he'd get accused of murder and he panicked and ran.

Brian went a lot of trouble to avoid calling attention to himself, sneaking home and not talking to anyone and hiding out until he finally ran off. I find it hard to believe he included a fly emoji on purpose to leave as some kind of taunting clue that he had murdered someone.

If you want a non-white missing girl to worry about, consider Lauren Cho.

They sound like a family of psychos and on advice of counsel not saying anything because counsel knows they are guilty as shit for aiding and abetting his hiding. And the police sound very very stupid in letting him get away and now they have a huge manhunt going on.

I’m coming late to this, but how can she be a noted Youtuber when she only has one video on her channel? And when the cops spectated her, she got the van and he got the hotel room. Why didn’t she just drive away if things were so bad, I think the van was in her name?

An Instagram vlogger, I think. Some of us eldergays get it confused.

R176 His IG was more lengthy and curated then hers. If they were living off their social media earnings they must have been starving and stealing gas.

Daddy wouldn't send them off without his credit card, come on.

This is the link to "her" last post (or more likely Brian Laundrie posting as Gabby Petito).

Brian Laundrie's IG. Last post was August 13

[quote]My biggest fear is that one day I’ll wake up and it will have all been a dream, because that is what every second has felt like since the moment we found each other. Till death do us part or until I wake up, I’m so happy the answer was yes, Love you hunny.

—Brian Laundrie, IG, 07-03-2020

I’m sick of reading about these jobless breeders.

[quote] Well, she's so far decayed now that they couldn't possibly determine if it was manual strangulation, choking with rope or a sheet, blunt force trauma, or a GSW.

She was killed by a Golden State Warrior?! Which one? Oh, was it a Graduate of Social Work?

My guess is gunshot wound

If she got a proper job even just a retail job...she would still be alive.

where do they go to shower and shit etc? disgusting.

Am I the only one here who read she was a pharmacy technician? Not sure if she quit or had taken a leave for their big adventure.

Seems strange the media hasn't talked to her employer or their former classmates, teachers, principles, etc.

You worked in a DV shelter for three years and you still blame the women, r149?

I agree with you that it's an extremely complex set of relationships, especially for those women with parents and children. As I said at r145, the women who do go back have very little choice in that.

My friend works in a women's refuge in London, where women and their children with abusive male partners are temporarily settled until the local council can find permanent housing for them. They also receive welfare benefits and the kids go to nearby schools. I guess that's the difference between what might happen in the US - when an abused woman has provision of housing, some financial independence, her child's education secured and she is no longer dependent on an abusive man, she rarely goes back

Again, this still has nothing to do with the situation between Laundrie and Petito.

The cops weren’t wrong, they came across a skirmish that happens all the time. If they took both parties in and charged them, these young people would have a mark on their record that could haunt their employment, living or relationship potential for the rest of their lives. Cops are trained to deescalate these situations and it’s dangerous to try to read them another way, accuse law enforcement of fault or take this decision out of their hands- especially if the couple seems to want to stay together or make it work out once they’ve calmed down.

To R86,

R87 proves your point.

R170 I feel your observation is spot on and is chilling.

well, maybe he thought the "fly" was a "spider"? Probably a dumb cunt

I read a report where they said she worked as a pharmacy technician to save money for a road trip . in 2019, she worked in NOLE Café juice bar in Patchogue, NY.

She had a proper job r185. Stop trolling, you're no good at it.

To the previous posters, Gabby told LE when stopped (Brian was speeding and also hit a curb) that she wasn't really capable of driving the van. Yet she bought it and the van was in her name.

The couple had been living for some time with Brian's parents since all relocated from NY. Brian's parents owed a "juice business." Don't know if that's where Gabby worked in NY.

When asked what they thought of their son's ex-fiancee and current GF all Brian's parents reportedly said was that she'd bring attractive genes into the family. Were they hoping for beautiful looking grandchildren as their daughter isn't "model material?" Can't find the quote again (there are a lot on Reddit) but that's a totally bizarre statement.

Since Brian knew Gabby from at least high school his parents' callousness and coldness to her parents explain why their FL neighbors have aggressively turned against them. At the very least expect them to move away.

She didn't go to college. only high school. the guy still lives with his parents. no job that we know of. lazy cunt. esp now there are so many companies hiring. Now I hope he rots in jail, won't have to pay rent or food there either, he will love it!

I don't know if this has been discussed...but the police fucked up big time and allowed the boyfriend to escape.

He should have been under surveillance.

we will never know the truth because they were the only two there but it was an accident.

I think both were equally abusive and it was just a matter of time of who was going to accidently kill who.

R198 " we will never know the truth because they were the only two there but it was an accident."

We will never know the truth, but it was an accident? How stupid. You don't know if it was an accident because, as you said, you weren't there.

The police officer who was doing the check ins with the press was never in a uniform, wore sunglasses when addressing cameras, and had a shrugged shoulders annoyed demeanor. Why. It’s like he was pals with Brian’s family. No police watching the house. No hurry about anything. All very maga. Why.

Stop upvoting yourself R199, and quote properly.

['quote] My friend works in a women's refuge in London, where women and their children with abusive male partners are temporarily settled until the local council can find permanent housing for them.

What is the name of your friend?

Lol, I'm not telling you that. Why though r202? Think you might know her?

[quote] He sent a text to her mother as Gabby after she had died.

Link please.

Yes, R203. Is it Katherine?

R204 Apologies, it’s the trashy NY Post, but this is where I’ve been following the story.

If true, that is extremely disturbing.

R206 Gruesome

There have been recent cases about black and Latina women on Dateline/20/20/48 Hours, etc.

Of course, if they are killed by men of color, that’s problematic, too. Why is the media trying to make black men look bad? White men are killers, too!

[quote] it was just a matter of time of who was going to accidently kill who.

Yes, I’m sure that tiny little woman was mere days away from killing her boyfriend with her bare hands.

Yes, I remember R83. It was all over the news, constantly. Then....911 happened and the coverage was buried. 911 took over all the news.

Crazy bitch was clearly asking for it.

A swarm of police and FBI just descended on his family home. I can't believe these stupid Florida rubes thought they were going to save his ass.

The remains found in the search for Gabby Petito were discovered near where YouTubers filmed her van before she went missing. The video was shared on social media by Jenn and Kyle Bethune, who are known on YouTube as "Red White & Bethune."

They posted the video over the weekend after reviewing their footage in light of the news coverage of Petito's disappearance. Shortly afterwards, officials announced that a body had been found. It was captured on August 27 at around 6 p.m. in Grand Teton National Park's Spread Creek Dispersed camping area, Jenn Bethune told Insider's Connor Perrett.

The FBI said on Sunday that human remains had been found in that camping area which matched Petito's description. The identity has not been confirmed, and the county coroner told CNN that an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

Bethune told Insider that she was watching the video back weeks after it was filmed when she saw that her husband had accidentally filmed a white van. It looked like the one Petito and her finacé had been travelling in, and which police had publicized after Petito was reported missing.

She said her husband had accidentally left the camera recording. When they realized the information could prove useful, she said, they gave the footage to the FBI. Petito and finacé Brian Laundrie were travelling in a van before her parents reported her missing on September 11.

Breaking: No one cares

There's apparently crime scene tape up at the Laundrie house. There's a live feed here but it's not interesting yet.

ty, R215

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Cute, uneducated, unambitious, untalented, reckless dumb cunts. They both look like the types to tumble over a cliff posing for Intagram, or get killed by a wild animal they approach because it's so adorable. Murder has ruined their lives but it was only a matter of time before Darwin would have done the deed.

The parents have been arrested.

Hopefully the agents arresting Laundrie’s parents accidentally kicked them in their genitals repeatedly.

Someone on Brian Entin's Twitter said Brian Laundrie's mom is in an FBI van, have they been arrested?

This case is so fucking boring. I can’t believe you fraus are foaming at the mouth over it.

You start threads about your keto diet, r222. I wouldn't be calling others boring if I were you.

R111, if that is real commentary it is enraging. A young white couple reminds him of his own marriage but if he'd encountered a Black, Indigenous or Latinx couple in the same level of distress he would have jailed one or both of them.

If he'd done that with these two, Gabby might still be alive.

Mom's definitely in an FBI van, dad I guess is still in the house. News is saying it's a search warrant.

I just don’t know why women don’t stay away from men. Men are useless, expect to be catered to, moody, unstable, violent cunts.

Somebody's paying for Brian's lawyer, and it ain't jobless Brian.

The search for the large swampy area near to Brian's parents home looks like a "red herring." Can these lawyered up idiots be sued for the cost of the LE investigation?

Other internet users claim Brian's in Cuba. Would anyone housing him in the US or providing food/aid be subject to arrest?

What the help is Dispersed camping? Is that where he got the idea to disperse her body from?

"Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping."

So, from the NY Post article picture of her dad, he too was bald. Did Gabby have a Daddy complex and gravitated towards men like her daddy and expected to be treated like a princess?

R231 Nope

R230, Dispersed camping offers more space between campsites, and is much cheaper. There's fewer amenities ie no bathrooms or running water. Usually no fire rings or barbecue pits. It's favored by those with campers or trailers who don't need the "extras" Also there aren't as many rules like "quiet time with no music after 9 pm and until 7 am."

Some camp on BLM land which is free and open space too.

[quote]She was killed by a Golden State Warrior?! Which one? Oh, was it a Graduate of Social Work?

A *Garrote for the *Sassy little *Witch. One does what one has to in those situations.

The stupidity of the posters claiming it was an accident. Let's say she ODed. Or fell of a cliff. He's her fiance. He would call for help. And even if you were short on brain cells and "panicked" ...well you're going break her parents hearts, and everyone who loved her, just so you don't have to face the facts of the "accident"? The FBI knocking on your door, everyone thinks you're a murderer, but you're in panic mode and just won't talk about it and if you don't talk about it for long enough, it will magically go away. Sure.

R234 Black Lives Matter land, when the hell did that start? And they weren’t Black, so why would they have camped there?

He has his fingers in his ears going...."la la la la la".... it'll go away.. ha!

They didn't camp at the BLM dispersed camping site r237 and I'm pretty sure you know that already.

Bureau of Land Management.... BLM..

r240 is right, I have the person R237 was talking to on ignore because of their Remote Viewing and Satanic nonsense and didn't realize she was referring to the Bureau of Land Management. Listen to r240, ignore me at r239.

Brian Laundrie's parents have been escorted by the FBI back into their home

I don’t know why, but I have very little sympathy for this girl, all these people with curated IG lives who are hiding dark secrets, but covering them up and trying to get us to buy into their perfect lives are so disingenuous and fake. It sounds like she had many opportunities to walk away from this man and didn’t take them because that didn’t fit the narrative she wanted to sell. On some level she was complicit in her own fate.

These people going on endlessly about white privilege need to get a life. Shouldn’t you be on Twitter railing about #EmmysSoWhite?

I don’t get the impression she stayed with him because she was trying to sell a narrative on social media. They were a couple, one or both of them had mental health issues, they were probably just trying to make it work. Also, they were practically children. An older and wiser person might have said “This is NOT worth it!” and walked away.

R243 Get help. Just because some young lost girl gets lost in social media hardly means she is complicit in her own death. What a stretch.

"I don’t know why, but I have very little sympathy for this girl"

You know why, as we all do.

Where is the mystery here? Everybody knows he killed her. Two spoiled, jobless, aimless, priviledged, suburban, mentally ill borderline/bipolar kids that were instagram-ready. Media is still forcing this shit on everybody, flyovers and fraus are gobbling it up. Can the reddit fraus here just go back to reddit? Theres the 2x chromosomes sub, they will welcome you! No one cares about how you are projecting your victim-hood on everybody and how nobody listens to you! Nobody listens to you because you are annoying as fuck so go take your meds!

There were many threads on that PA shooting..."Jimmmmaaaay!"....in which not all were interested, myself included. How many threads were on that one? This one captured me and many others. Chill....

The same person in this thread is talking to himself trying to turn this into a fake feminist/anti feminist thread.

Just so you know…..

Yeah, as usual, when they noticed there was a lot of movement on these threads someone showed up because they were lonely and wanted attention. They think DLers are their babysitters and we need to make them feel better when they have a temper tantrum.

FBI take the fucking parents down.

Families should never help their sons hide from the law!

R215 Thank you for the live feed.

Posted on the other thread as well: Fox has the 911 call from Moab about Brian and Gabby, and apparently the caller said he was hitting her, not the other way around.

R 243, she loved him. She wasn’t ready to walk away. She wouldn’t be the first person to make that error.

she did break off the engagement though

Maybe she did...that would probably set him off.

they broke it off before they left for the trip.

r248 you fucker, you.

Thanks, r254. That call makes the cops' actions when they eventually interviewed them look even more idiotic and misogynistic. He hit her, and she covered for him when the cops got there.

And then he killed her.

I hope when we die we can see all the real answers to all the things that happened in our lifetime.

The call from the eye witness to the police - "the gentleman was slapping her", "he proceeded to hit her".

How did Laundrie slapping and hitting Gabby turn into "she slapped him, he had scratches, she's unstable"?

Puts her crying in the van with the cop telling her to calm down and then abandoning her in a whole new perspective.

R261 I used to think that for years we would. Then one day I thought, hey, I don't get to do that in this life, why should I expect to be elevated to privy info in the next? That depressed me. Too realistic, lol.

And the cops in Utah were treating HIM as the victim while being patronizing to her when she was clearly showing signs of distress. Fuck them and fuck all the posters in here insinuating the same

So… he was actually the one hitting her, and then he killed her. Sounds pretty straightforward to me. All of the posts putting some or all of the blame on her… and they’re all wrong.

They broke off their engagement before the trip? I dunno...if I broke up with someone, it's usually for something not good between us. I wouldn't want to spend four or five months cramped in a small vehicle with that person after breaking up..or take any trip.

Re: R254 - this guy is fucked if the dumbass cops ever manage to find him.

r266 they said it was by mutual agreement and that they felt they were too young to make the commitment.

This could be nothing. Or something.

R255 Love. It's so strong it can hold you in a spot you should run from, make you think things can get better, change, are not as bad as they seem. She was a young girl who could not recognize the danger the problems of such a relationship could go to to murder. It's not like she would have experience or knowledge of this. Really I don't think a lot of people without some education would recognize it. Even just reading stories like this educates a person. Law enforcers, lawyers, judges, psychologists, nurses, teachers, so many professions must take classes to recognize the signs. Why would she? The poor innocent thing.

They called off the engagement but referred to themselves in a store while on their trip as engaged, happily waving goodbye as the store owner congratulated them on their engagement. They felt they were together, or at least she did. Him...was it unchecked rage, anger problem? Or was he going to do it and knew it.

R269 / R270 I hope it's not his body. I want him to be found alive so he can answer to his crimes, and his parents can be put through the ringer for helping him.

Agreed.

[quote]MPD: Dead body found near Walmart dumpster

This story really has everything, now that a Walmart dumpster is involved.

The FBI is bringing out evidence from the Laundrie residence

Except he hasn't been charged with any crime yet, R273, R272 etc. You know his lawyer told him not to talk. You do NOT have to incriminate yourself before, during or after arrest or trial.

Live feed at Alabama Walmart

[quote] Latinx couple

JFC, I don’t know how many times you have to be told that’s considered offensive to Latinos, like me. We don’t need you virtue signaling by changing our fucking language, puta.

Watching live on youtube....really pouring there.

Not being familiar with the area, what’s the connection between the Walmart and this guy? Why is everyone thinking this has to do with this case?

(Genuine curiosity.)

If the link at R278 doesn't work, try this

So what about the body cam footage?

I've only read the headlines and getting info from this thread. So what is the truth bitches? He beat her or she beat him or both?

You know EVERYBODY is unvaxxed inside that Alabama Walmart.

R85 I only heard of Asha Degree because my sister is one of those weirdos who's obsessed about true crime. What a sad and baffling case.

[quote]puta

Then you call the poster a gay slur in Spanish.

[quote]Mobile County Sheriff's Office says body found in Tillman's Corner was a homeless person

I loved her on AHS: Coven. Gone too soon.

R274 you are a gem and I hope you have the best day. Your comment made me cackle

Thanks for the updates..the body is a.homeless person. This is freaking crazy.

Agreed R272. I hate it when these fucking losers take the easy way out.

False alarm. Good. The fuckwad is still alive.

Her dad is on Dr Phil. Comes off like a macho asshole. Admitted he referred to the bf as BRIANNA because he liked to intimidate her boyfriends by calling them by feminine version of their names. What a guy.

Dr. Phil....ugh....yuck...

R293 Her dad being like that fits this story 100%.

At least she's not shark poop like Natalee Holloway.

So, r213 et al, do I understand correctly that her body was found in a location where the police/ FBI hadn't been looking at all, and they searched there and found the body only because a different random vanlifer happened to realize they'd seen and filmed the van there on Aug. 27th (i.e., two days after Gabby last Facetimed with her mother)?

That's Nemesis at work.

And it also settles the question of who sent the text to Gabby's mother on Aug. 30th.

R293, yeah, that’s not cool. And with a dad with that maturity level (Dr. Phil? really?), no wonder she picked a loser like Brian.

But still, I condole him.

[quote]Boxes and boxes of evidence now going into the FBI van at the Brian Laundrie house. It’s pouring rain.

I thought “puta” meant “whore”, not “gay”.

why would anyone think it was him in Alabama? I don't get the connection

WFLA Has been live all day

the body in Alabama has NOTHING to do with this case, it was a homeless person who died.

so what does her father do for a living? I read that he moved to FL to be closer to her.

Puta/puto is a gay slur - f-ggot.

[quote] Some information from Walt & JB on the WFLA Live Stream on YouTube right now (9/20 at 2:20PM CT)

[quote]On 9/14 a search warrant was executed to search Gabby's van and inside they found an external hard drive.

[quote]On Wednesday 9/15, they requested a search warrant of the hard drive citing "probable cause relative to a missing/endangered person statute"

[quote]⁠As of 9/15, Gabby's phone had been off for 15 days.

[quote]⁠On 8/27, Gabby's mom received the following text from her phone: "can you help Stan? I just keep getting his voicemails and missed calls" - her mom doesn't believe this was her because Stan is GP's grandpa and she doesn't typically call him by his first name.

The dad has reminded Dr Phil that his daughter owned the van at least ten times. It’s her van. Not Brian’s. This seems to be very important to him.

Video interview of woman who spotted the van that lead to discovery of the body.

I would hazard a guess, based on r293’s post, that Dad is a homophobe.

I'd honestly love to get the honest truth from him as to how he expected to get away with this. She vanishes after they go traveling, he goes home with her vehicle, refuses to talk to police. Did he think people would just forget about her? Her family, her friends?

Live feed of the house

Did she have her lips done at R308?

Video of Gabby's asshole father's Dr. Creepy Phil interview.

What the hell is wrong with that man?

All the live feed, etc. is boring. I want to see with Brian is apprehended.

[quote] I'd honestly love to get the honest truth from him as to how he expected to get away with this.

This isn’t a carefully crafted scheme. It’s Run Home to Mommy.

R248 makes me wonder, what would Jimmmmmaayyy! have done had he came across these two? He would’ve saved Gabby, that’s what!

[quote]The dad has reminded Dr Phil that his daughter owned the van at least ten times. It’s her van. Not Brian’s. This seems to be very important to him.

Because if she owns the van, Brian had no right to drive off in it without her.

Gabby's messed up family on the Shit Hannity show. The last place I'd be if my daughter was murdered would be on right wing TV.

Let’s add Grand Theft Auto on top of a possible murder change.

This whole thing is a big maga mess. Everyone in it are magas!

[quote]The warrant said that there was probable cause for issuance as a result of the item potentially containing evidence that a felony had been committed. In the affidavit submitted by North Port detectives, a timeline of Petito and Laundrie’s trip and the video journey they had taken together across social media platforms were detailed.

[quote]The timeline written by detectives for the search warrant covers a series of messages between Petito and her family, including “odd” messages to her mother received on Aug. 27, and a report that the van was detected by a license plate reader on the Sumter Boulevard exit of I-75. The timeline states that “a white Ford Transit, bearing Florida tag QFTG03…entered the City of North Port” on Sept. 1 at 10:26 a.m.

[…]

[quote]The timeline also stated that due to the circumstances related to Petito’s mental health, North Port Police believe there is probable cause that she is not able to care for herself due to “her increased anxiety” and concerns for her welfare had increased to an “exigent level.”

[quote]Petito’s cellphone was turned off for about 15 days, and was last on around Aug. 31 or Sept. 1. Petito had not been seen since Aug. 27. On Sept. 14, police executed a search warrant for the van that she and Laundrie had traveled in.

[quote]Inside the vehicle, crime scene technicians found the external hard drive at the center of the Sept. 15 search warrant. Police believe the storage device might have “viable digital forensic data” on it that could help them in their investigation.

Gabby Petito, Brian Laundrie fight in Utah described in 911 call

The 911 caller who reported a domestic incident between Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito in Utah last month claimed he’d seen a man “slapping” a woman, new audio revealed Monday.

The caller told dispatchers that he had encountered a man and woman in Moab on Aug. 12 engaged in a “domestic dispute,” according to audio obtained by Fox News.

“We drove by and the gentleman was slapping the girl,” the caller said.

The dispatcher responded, “He was slapping her?”

“Yes, and then we stopped. They ran up and down the sidewalk, he proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car and they drove off,” the man replied.

The caller told authorities the pair had been driving in a white van with Florida plates.

The disturbing audio seemingly contradicted a police report in which Petito was depicted as the aggressor.

“The male tried to create distance by telling Gabbie [sic] to go take a walk to calm down, she didn’t want to be separated from the male, and began slapping him,” the report said.

“He grabbed her face and pushed her back as she pressed upon him and the van, he tried to lock her out and succeeded except for his driver’s door, she opened that and forced her way over him and into the vehicle before it drove off,” the report continued.

An officer wrote “it was reported the male had been observed to have assaulted the female,” but later determined that “no one reported that the male struck the female.”

Petito, 22, was reported missing by her family on Sept. 11 after Laundrie, 23, returned home to Florida 10 days earlier.

The FBI said Sunday that remains “consistent with the description” of Petito had been uncovered in Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming.

Laundrie speaking on police video, Aug 12. He seems like a lying control freak.

Not surprised both families are MAGA considering they all seem like unstable white trash.

Hope they catch that snealy rat and the family pays too. No way, no how, could I cover up my kid killing someone.

R323 he's for sure a little lying fuck. Hope he rots.

[quote]Appears FBI is done at the Laundrie house. Agents just left.

[quote]Her dad is on Dr Phil. Comes off like a macho asshole. Admitted he referred to the bf as BRIANNA because he liked to intimidate her boyfriends by calling them by feminine version of their names. What a guy.

I’m starting to care less about this story the more I read about the families….

Her dad (I'm watching the video) is a classic "I hate every human male who dares to look at my princess." What a predictable result that his daughter ends up lacking self-respect and prone to hooking up with insecure, fragile-masculinity losers like Brian. That kind of posturing from dads is never really about the daughters so much as it is about the father's own...insecurity and fragile masculinity.

her parents work? they poor or rich? they look like white trash

R313 Balding MAGA dad probably wanted his daughter. Everyone in this story is a worthless asshole.

Her phone being off for 15 minutes was clear she's dead.

Gabby's father is a sales supervisor for Time Warner cable.

R332, thank you for the info.

Daddy's Instagram page.

Oh lord - her best friend looks…interesting….

Skip ahead to the 1:45 mark in the video.

[quote] Puta/puto is a gay slur - f-ggot.

Bullshit. Now do we see why we get upset when you change letters in our language? You would’ve said putX or some such shit.

PutA is a whore. PutO is a gay slur.

THIS is why we don’t appreciate people changing the language to fit their notions of perceived slights.

Her best friend....meth head. The spots on her face.

Yeah, the best friend looks off, also.

Holy shit. With that that dad, that best friend, and that boyfriend...poor Gabby never had a chance.

speaking of mysterious deaths, wtf happened with the couple + baby + dog who died in Cali?

[quote]Her dad (I'm watching the video) is a classic "I hate every human male who dares to look at my princess."

He’s an Italian from Long Island. That tells you all you need to know.

R340, they are still waiting for the tox screen results to come back.

R342 Still?? Why the hell does it take that long?

I’m sure her friend is upset and could be on medication. Her friend did nothing wrong. It was Gabby’s only friend.

[quote]Holy shit. With that that dad, that best friend, and that boyfriend...poor Gabby never had a chance.

Nope. The poor thing.

Well, Dad, if Gabby were ensconced in college or grad school or had recently graduated and started her first job, she wouldn’t have been roaming around for months on end in a van with a loser.

Why was Gabby so aimless? Parents likely never took much interest in her life or education.

The best friend was the first to say Brian was a creep and that Gabby stayed at her house when the boyfriend was too much.

While a 22-year-old isn’t a child, I’ve been thinking a lot lately how some kids are so much more vulnerable to tragedy just because of how their lives are structured.

Middle class kids with helicopter parents are so much less likely to be in harm’s way at any given time. Less likely to have “bad influence” friends, less likely to be attracted to losers, the list goes on.

I was struck by the fact Gabby was very pretty and yet she was living with an ugly, prematurely bald loser like him? something off there.

[quote]The best friend was the first to say Brian was a creep and that Gabby stayed at her house when the boyfriend was too much.

Yet she also she said she considered him a friend. So why would you be friends with a creep?

For those asking, this is why they were suspecting Laundrie might've been in Tillman's Corner, Alabama

He’s dead.

[quote]Yet she also she said she considered him a friend. So why would you be friends with a creep?

No, R350, she USED TO consider him a friend until she found out what he was really like.

*****

[quote]Rose Davis, 21, of Sarasota, described Laundrie as a controlling and manipulative boyfriend, in one incident stealing Petitio’s ID so she wouldn’t be able to go out to bars with her.

[quote]Petito had described the strange episodes to Davis, which at times forced Petito to sleep at her house.

[quote]“He’s got these jealousy issues and he struggles from what Gabby called these “episodes,” where he would hear things and hear voices and wouldn’t sleep,” she told the outlet.

[quote]“Gabby had to stay at my house a bunch of times because she just needed a breather and didn’t want to go home to him.”

[quote][bold]Davis said she “used to consider [Laundrie] a friend,” after spending time with the couple.[/bold]

[quote]She said the two friends would share locations on their iPhones to keep each other safe “in case we got lost,” but Laundrie made Petito stop sharing once he found out.

[quote]“He had this composure as a sweet, nice, caring guy. But you could tell he’s a little off, a little weird. Like, he’d set up our hammocks when we’d go to the beach, but wouldn’t sit with us, which I found bizarre,” she told the Daily Mail.

[quote]“Brian has a jealousy issue,” Rose said. “I’m her only friend in Florida to my knowledge and that’s not because she can’t make friends, he just didn’t want her to have friends.”

[quote]Rose Davis says Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie progressively got into “more and more arguments.”

[quote]“He was always worried she was going to leave him,” she said. “It was a constant thing to try to get us to stop hanging out.”

[quote]Davis told the Daily Mail that she’d last spoken to Petito in early August, where they discussed meeting up in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming for Davis’ birthday on Aug. 29. Davis said that she had requested off work for the days, but never went after never hearing back from Petito.

[quote]She said that the couple never fought in front of her, however she believed that she could tell when they had just had an argument. She said that within the first year of knowing her, Petito spent between seven and 10 nights at her house after they had fought.

[quote]“I do believe that their relationship as they kept going on was getting more problematic. It just seemed like there was more and more arguments,” she told the Daily Mail, adding that they had still planned on getting married despite Petito telling her mother it was called off.

[quote]“Everything she did, I feel like he thought was wrong.”

[quote]Rose Davis said Brian Laundrie has a “composure as a sweet, nice, caring guy. But you could tell he’s a little off, a little weird.”

[quote]“For her anxiety to act up like that, there has to be a decent thing to trigger it,” Davis said, adding that she was aware Petito suffered from anxiety.

[quote]She said she wished that Petito had decided to call her after that incident.

[quote]“I’m a little upset she didn’t just call me after that fight, because she would have before,” Davis said.

Timeline of the Petito case

[quote]He’s got these jealousy issues and he struggles from what Gabby called these “episodes,” where he would hear things and hear voices and wouldn’t sleep,” she told the outlet

So possibly schizophrenic or schizo-affective

R352 The body found there earlier was confirmed to NOT be him

R356, correct. But the reported sighting was the reason so much focus was placed on the body found on the premises of that particular Walmart.

Oh god. Oh god, don't make me wake up one morning dead on the premises of some particular Walmart.

Lookit. ya don't go to 'Bama from Florida. Ya go to the swamp or ya go to South Car'lina. Ya could go to South Georgia. They's swamps there too. Now there's lots of 'gators in them swamps no matter which way ya wint. An' a 'gator'll eat anythin. Sometime if we go out ta git food, an' my friends'll say, "hey they got gator on this minu, let's git some, " and I always say no, 'cause as I sid. Gator'll eat anythin. Now if I was to do somethin like this, killing this girl, I'd have for sure put her in a swamp.

The best friend looks fine to me. She's going through a horrible, shitty time, she's not going to look glamorous or make sure her hair's looking good for the TV.

Don’t worry, r358, if that ever happens to you, we’ll move your body.

Maybe put it somewhere swankier.

Gabby Petito disappearance: Who are Brian Laundrie’s parents?

Christopher, 62, and Roberta Laundrie, 55, bought their 1,448-square-foot home in North Port for $120,000 in August, 2015, according to property records.

Two years later, they tried selling the modest three bedroom, two bath home at $215,000 with no luck.

The couple runs a business called “Juice Services Inc.” out of their home that specializes in the sale and repair of wheatgrass, orange and vegetable juicers, according to company records.

Before their ill-fated road trip, Laundrie worked at an organic juice bar and Petito told cops in Moab, Utah that she was a “nutritionist.”

Up until 2008, the Laundries lived in Bayport, Long Island, where they ran another beverage vending machine business.

[quote]A pair of apparent law enforcement officers visited the Lakewood Ranch home of Brian Laundrie’s sister, Cassie Laundrie, hours after FBI agents raided her parent’s North Port home

The friend seems to genuinely care. The family is loving the spotlight a little too much.

That guy was a text book abuser. Controlling, isolating her from friends, he even took away her drivers license so she couldn’t meet up with friends in a bar. He and the douchebro cops did a nice job gaslighting during the domestic violence call/video.

[quote] Lookit. ya don't go to 'Bama from Florida.

You go to Bermuda

[quote] Up until 2008, the Laundries lived in Bayport, Long Island,

I had that stupid, stupid Steve Martin/Martin Short disaster of a “mystery” series on last night. Actually wasn’t so much watching it as using as background noise before I shut it down for good. The characters go on this diatribe about how disgusting Long Island is, completely getting the character of every town wrong (there’s no way the Steve Martin character would have a sister in Patchogue). Anyway, these 2 black guys are driving a car & Martin Short asked where they are and they say “Bayport. Something always pops off in this town.” They go on to describe it as a crime ridden, dangerous ghetto full of guns. Meanwhile, it’s an almost all-white working class town with a middle class that is peppered with large turn-of-the-20th century homes from when it was a seaside resort for the rich. I turned that show off because it sucked so bad.

But looks like something might’ve popped off from Bayport.

R367 but the ‘Bayport’ in this story is in Florida.

Well, isn’t that interesting. I wanted to see this thing but I don’’t have Netflix. Sounds awful

Well, you certainly dodged a bullet then r368.

[quote] Her dad is on Dr Phil. Comes off like a macho asshole. Admitted he referred to the bf as BRIANNA because he liked to intimidate her boyfriends by calling them by feminine version of their names. What a guy.

No doubt a Joe Rogan fan.

Long Island produces horrible amoral people.

Is Dr. Phil actually still on TV or is this some weird special he’s doing it?

[quote] [R367] but the ‘Bayport’ in this story is in Florida.

No it’s not. Both Gabby & Brian are from Bayport NY. Brian’s parents live in North Port, FL

Any port in a storm.

Someone driving by had seen him hitting her and they stopped but Laundrie drove off taking Gabby with him.

What r131 said. this wasn’t a Jeffrey Dahmer situation where a naked, bleeding crying, boy was returned to his abuser.

Holy shit, that chick at R350 is 21? She looks closer to 42.

Maybe Brian killed that homeless person and dumped his body behind the Wal-Mart.

Has heat stroke been ruled … ooops. Wrong case.

Her dad is already hitting the airwaves. How soon before they quit their jobs, set-up a foundation and start speaking tour$?

How the hell do these people get sudden composure to go on tv?

Joy Reid was just ranting about how the media makes such a stink when white women go missing, what with their blonde hair and blue eyes... she's jealous of a corpse.

Cue the inevitable Go Fund Me from both families.

[quote]Joy Reid was just ranting about how the media makes such a stink when white women go missing, what with their blonde hair and blue eyes... she's jealous of a corpse.

She spent the first half of her show making excuses for Nicki Minaj. She's a one-trick race-baiting pony.

One family won't talk...the other family is making up for it.

It's horrible that she was murdered, but she was kind of basic.

Missing white woman syndrome, the wokesters call it. Because they are deadset on alienating every moderate person from liberalism. And they’re doing a great job.

Should missing women of color get as much attention as white women? OF COURSE. Is it right to all buy belittle the missing white woman just because she’s getting more media attention than a woman of color? OF COURSE IT’S NOT. She’s still a person who matters and has family that are worried sick over her. I mean get a fucking clue.

all but belittle ^^^

Missing White Woman Syndrome IS a thing. If a woman goes missing and she's white, pretty and preferably blonde, the media and the public will eat it up.

If Gabby were even a chubby white brunette, do you think anyone besides the local news would care?

Well. I for one would not, R389.

It's not just about being white. It's specifically young, thin, attractive white women that the media pounces on and gives 24/7 coverage to. Older women, young men, the disabled, and unattractive victims need not apply, whether they're white or not.

Well, she was no Mallory Beach.

Somebody make Lizzo disappear, and we'll test out the thin young white woman media coverage theory.

"It's not just about being white. It's specifically young, thin, attractive white women that the media pounces on."

And this thread has 393 replies because...?

[quote]Missing White Woman Syndrome IS a thing.

Who said it wasn’t? Is bringing it up when a woman is missing appropriate, all but chastising a probably-murdered person because she had the nerve to be blonde? I would say that’s a highly inappropriate way to earn your woke cred.

R395 probably? Gurl, she dead.

In this case, as in a number of others, it’s not that “the victim was pretty”, it’s that there is an obvious suspect, and obvious psychological drama to analyze.

I don't see anyone bashing Gabby for getting attention, just calling out the media.

I’m not following this one on tv news but there was a major backlash about that blonde college (or high school?) girl who disappeared on Aruba some years ago, forget her name.

I definitely heard and agreed with the arguments that she was getting so much more coverage than girls of color who were missing at the same time, but the tone of the criticism was “everybody’s so obsessed with this blonde ditz, it’s ridiculous.” No, it’s not ridiculous when someone is murdered and their body disposed of.

We covered her back at R67.

[quote]girl who disappeared on Aruba some years ago, forget her name.

Natalee Holloway

We'll know when times are progressing if they give this much coverage to twinks who get murdered by rough trade

Where is Brian? Alabama?

[Quote]Somebody make Lizzo disappear, and we'll test out the thin young white woman media coverage theory.

Everyone, please say hi to Captain America!

We know a hell of a lot more about who Natalie Holloway was than the brunette, 21 year old Stephany Flores Ramírez, who Joran van der Sloot killed in Lima. Peru.

Sadly, we know the gory details of Ramirez's death.

Holloway was prettier than this one.

RIP to both.

yes, I thought those flip flops were hers, they included a pic of her wearing very similar pair.

Press conference cancelled.

That “family attorney” better watch his ass.

R218, never leave us. I'm serious.

R389, please list these regular occurrences of when pretty young blonde white women go missing/are murdered and the media won't stop going on about it. Many more pretty young blonde white women are murdered than you ever get to hear about. The reason people are fascinated by this case - aside from the fact that it's truly horrific - is that it has a strong crime story narrative to it and people think they're sleuths. The missing vlogger, the camper van, the fugitive boyfriend, the police body cam video, the discovery of the body, the crazy families.

This is the caption from the fugitive's last IG post, dated 13 August. He is sick in the head.

[quote]Humans are primates, great apes in fact but I don’t know all how great we are as a species. Chimpanzees share 98.8% of there DNA with humans, our closest living relative, but as I see it every living creature is in some way our relative even trees. Only 800 million years ago animal cells started appearing on earth comprised of mainly the same parts and following the same functions as plant cells. Requiring oxygen, solar energy, minerals, nutrients and water. This tree(Juniperus osteosperma)was surviving in only inches of soil, in an area of extreme heat and drought. I think our culture, our society has put itself above all living creatures, creating needs purely to support destructive economic practices. This tree doesn’t require an Apple Watch, it doesn’t stream its favorite shows, or have a microwave oven, pay health insurance or drink grande iced caramel macchiatos. It is just a tree but you rarely see geese riding jet skis or wearing designer clothing either. I think if we all want breathable air and drinkable water we all need to learn how to live with less🌏

Oh brother. That seems to me like typical 20 yr old gibber-jabber. I've read worse.

As he drives aimlessly in a van spewing fumes across the country

I still don't know why he couldn't be held under surveillance 24/7 before they found her body. He returned home in HER van with her missing. His behavior of saying nothing and immediately retaining a lawyer was ok so he could go anywhere he wanted including into hiding and the police thought it was fine and dandy? This is fucked up police work. He could have simply and openly gone to the airport and flown to a country which doesn't extradite to countries which have the death penalty and nobody could say anything because it was perfectly legal.

[quote]Her dad is on Dr Phil. Comes off like a macho asshole. Admitted he referred to the bf as BRIANNA because he liked to intimidate her boyfriends by calling them by feminine version of their names. What a guy.

If she was exposed to that kind of behavior when growing up then she got a skewed version of "normal" that probably made her believe a certain amount of abuse was acceptable. That's incredibly common.

With apologies in advance for internalizing this, I was well into my 30s before I realized a lot of stuff my parents did weren't just asshole-y but fully abusive. Gabby went from living with her jerk dad to living with Brian's obviously screwed-up family and probably never realized how messed-up a lot of things in her life were. She likely made a lot of excuses for Brian's behavior because she didn't know better.

Plus all the internet "evidence," r397. I don't think this is a case of people caring more about pretty blonde girls than anyone else, I think it's a situation where footage and eyewitness accounts and Instagram posts were giving anyone who was curious new information in real time, allowing them to try to figure out where she was and what had happened to her.

The problem is you get too many people who see a reflection and go "That's a grimacing evil spirit in the van, I psychically feel that a murder has taken place there" or some troll changing their name to "Official FBI Account" claiming Brian was spotted in Pago Pago.

[quote]With apologies in advance for internalizing this

Didn't you just externalize that?

If they written the Gabby Petito case for tv, it would not have ended this way. Can you imagine. This is a cliff-hanger boy.

I heard that when they started dating, Laundrie made Petitio get an examination from a gynecologist.

I’ve know plenty of couples (both gay and straight) where both parties got STD tested before having sex, or before having condom free sex, but one person having another get an exam like that seems weird.

Is this something straight people do? Because it sounds really creepy to me.

It hasn't ended yet, r418.

Heard where, r419?

R414. Exactly. The police dropped the ball big time. This guy is probably far far away right now leaving his parents holding the bag.

Back to the Carlton Reserve. Where the search there for Brian Laundrie was all but abandoned just yesterday. 🙄

Autopsy day for Gabby Petito

Being back in Carlton Reserve is awfully interesting. There must have been something in the house that convinced them it was worth another look.

Guess they've already done some flyovers this morning.

It's crazy! They're sending a small army into the Reserve to look for this punk.

Comments like this on Twitter are giving me a migraine. I'm sure she believes she has ESP and analytical skills, which kind of makes it worse.

The whole nature preserve good chase, was a misdirection, engineered by the parents. He isn't there. They will receive a huge bill from LE, possibly even jail time.

That's why I'd love to know why they're back out there now, there has to be some actual reason for it. Maybe they think Brian killed himself out there so they're basically looking for a body. Or a chubby, well-nourished gator.

I’m cracking up at the “sightings” of this dude everywhere. He is so generic-looking.

Also, is anyone shocked that he doesn’t have a bunch of tattoos?

R432, If I were a skinny, bald-headed White man under 40 I'd be wearing a t-shirt saying "I'm not a murderer."

Have they checked the cabins on the shore of the swamp?

How long before the Petito dad is on Dancing With The Stars?

More like Shark Tank.

R429. Wow, that person's stupidity.

While being interviewed, you know she said, "Like, literally, I'm like 90% sure he is either like missing, like dead, or like worse. Literally. My ESP like gives me like great analytical skills."

The van was as white as she was. White van crime syndrome.

R438 is a gay white woke.

[quote] Her dad is already hitting the airwaves.

I can’t blame him for being angry and wanting the world to know about it.

I'm not saying I'm the amazing Kreskin but you don't need esp to figure this guy could be dead. If he's out in that nature preserve I would think there is not a lot of food out there to survive on. Can you drink swamp water and be safely hydrated? He'd have to kill and eat a gator to get some meat. But on the other hand if he's not out there then maybe he's not dead. More no need of esp powers to figure on that one. I guess Kreskin still has a job.

As for getting to a foreign country by now the bank accounts of everyone probably have been looked into. To get a plane ticket these days don't you have to have proof of id? Wouldn't an airline say, 'hey, this guy is THAT guy' and report it before he ever got off the ground?

It’s completely messed up, especially that he came home alone on 9/1, and didn’t bother to tell her family. They didn’t report her missing until 9/11.

[quote] I still don't know why he couldn't be held under surveillance 24/7 before they found her body. He returned home in HER van with her missing. His behavior of saying nothing and immediately retaining a lawyer was ok so he could go anywhere he wanted including into hiding and the police thought it was fine and dandy? This is fucked up police work. He could have simply and openly gone to the airport and flown to a country which doesn't extradite to countries which have the death penalty and nobody could say anything because it was perfectly legal.

That’s what I was saying over the weekend here when I first heard about this case and I couldn’t understand why he just returned home in her van without her, supposedly said nothing to anyone about her whereabouts, and the police couldn’t even interview him? A couple Dataloungers—one of them exasperatedly—were like, “YES, it’s been explained 50 times! There’s no evidence of a crime, so they can’t ask him anything. He’s allowed to hire a lawyer and never say a word. Yes of course he killed her, but our criminal justice system is exquisite, and without a body they cannot ask him a single thing. Yes, he can now skip the country after killing her, without ever having to answer a single question, but that’s the glory of the 5th Amendment, the crown jewel of our Constitution. It’s quite beautiful, actually.”

That’s seriously how certain DLers reacted to this bizarre case.

No one’s seen this guy for weeks—he could have flown out of the country before the time the case got massive publicity. No one knew who he was until a few weeks ago, so I think no airline would know who he was. On the other hand, I would think LE could obtain warrants to see if he flew anywhere.

Is it true Gabby wasn’t able to physically drive the van?

R443, if the laws of our country were applied equally, our criminal justice system would indeed be exquisite.

Yeah, I don’t know, R446. I really think police should have been able to ask him a question or two about her disappearance before he clammed up and disappeared himself. Doesn’t seem so exquisite.

R447, nothing was stopping them from asking. But they could not have compelled him to answer.

[quote]I hope when we die we can see all the real answers to all the things that happened in our lifetime.

Over my dead body.

R444 But they would have a record now and the bank account would see the transaction or the withdrawal of enough money for a transaction.

Is there even proof he was in Florida for more than a day or so? Maybe he returned the van, then immediately took off based on guidance from his parents? He could have easily gotten away before anyone suspected anything at all - before people knew Gabby was missing.

Also, sounds like the parents business takes a lot of cash? Who knows how much they already easily had on hand to give to him - potentially.

Is there even proof he was in Florida AT ALL? One of the parents could have flown out west and driven the van back to Florida.

The North Port Police said they saw Brian on the weekend when they got the van, a neighbor said it was taken late at night on the 12th.

Well, I don't know that I even believe them about that at this point, R453.

Thanks, r453. With all of the confusing info, at least we know he was actually around at some point.

I don't understand the fascination with this case, unless a lot of posters are young women in abusive relationships who found this DL thread.

The Murdaugh murders are more intriguing.

^Exactly. There is nothing to this, this kind of stuff happens every day. Let's find the asshole lying face down in the swamp someplace, being eaten by alligators, and get on with it. There is nothing here.

It’s stupid that he didn’t just drive on to Canada and cross the border while he had the chance.

Not to be morbid, but was she discovered buried or laying on the ground?

R459 Unknown at this point

I don't think he's in that swamp...his parents sent the FBI on a wild goose chase.

[quote]They didn’t report her missing until 9/11.

9/11!!!

I've thought the same thing myself, r454.

he could be in hiding but he won't last long. he doesn't have any money and i doubt his parents gave him much.

I'm on a bunch of threads about different murders and crimes r456, so are several others on here, what on earth makes you think we only care about this to the exclusion of other topics?

You obviously wouldn't even bother to post here if this didn't upset you, which is kind of weird, too.

We’re on standby if candle in the wind needs to be reworked

Isn’t he a forager eating off the land only things nature provides naturally or something?

R464 "he doesn't have any money and i doubt his parents gave him much."

How would you know?

"If he's out in that nature preserve I would think there is not a lot of food out there to survive on. Can you drink swamp water and be safely hydrated? He'd have to kill and eat a gator to get some meat."

Somebody's never heard of fishing!!

But if he's trying to hide in the wilderness he won't last long, he'll get bored, anxious, or hungry, and get caught stealing food or lurking around a source of free wifi. He won't off himself, instead, he'll spend the rest of his life demanding that his parents get him out of all the trouble he put himself into. And they'll bankrupt themselves trying, because so many people will do anything for an only son, even if he's a total loser or rotter. They keep telling themselves that if they can just get him out of *this* jam, he'll get a clue and change... but of course he'll never change as long as they keep enabling him.

I wonder if these kids were into crypto and if he invested, I could see him using that to fund his escape to another country. I didn't check out his social media.

R468, He doesn't have a job, where the fuck does he get money? He was mooching off his parents and the gf!

I mean, what a stupid girl, the guy doesn't even have a job and you agreed to marry him? Yes, i know they called it off later.

R471 Doesn't have a job? It's not like he's a 40 year old that never worked q day in his life. They were in their early twenties, just started to live. USA is so weird with the whole job obsession.

R472, I don't know where you are from but in USA, most kids go to college and get a job right out of school, in fact, many work while in college like internships to help them land a job after graduation. So a lot of kids are already working even at age 22.

I thought his parents sold juicing crap out of their house, which he could have helped with, and he also worked at a juice bar somewhere. Does anybody recall there's been a pandemic lately and jobs like that only recently started opening up?

Anyway, I read the Laundrie house was about 1400 square feet. With four adults living in it. Not exactly luxury so I doubt they could support him on the run - at least not in lavish style. But maybe enough to get him to Latin America or something, a la Joran Van der Sloot (sp)

Oh I forgot he had a chubby sister - she may have been in that house too. Oy.

Not only does Florida have gators, but boa constrictors, too. Maybe a big snake got him.

R472

He's a 23 year old who shows no ambition other than to live parasitically off his gf, her parents, his parents, he's a leech. No plans to go to college? No inclination to learn a trade. Just living as he wants day to day. But he has a girlfriend. Thinking of a future for a young woman she knows she likely will have a child or children. Will need an income to provide for them. This leeching off people shows want of character. He's nasty to her , there are people who have seen him hitting her, he's abusive in manner and speech. What sort of man at the age of 23 is this? Has a young girl in love with him and possibly could pregnant at any moment. Does not feel the least bit of guilt over enjoying her sexually but not providing for any offspring he may create.

I’d be very surprised if he’s left the country. He doesn’t seem self sufficient/mature enough to make it on his own in a new place. Even if his parents were sending him money, I don’t think he’d last long.

He probably is still in FL, or somewhere in the South. Hiding in the woods or some shit.

He’ll be found. Soon.

I think he’s out of state, and the parents gave him at least 3 days to get away. We know he is a liar and a hider.

But has he had a chance to shower yet?

She worked at a juice bar/cafe. I'm not sure if he worked at all.

R463, posters on social media keep saying, "The police saw him when they took the van! The neighbors saw him riding bikes with his mom and mowing the grass!", but they never provide a link to actual quotes. I remain skeptical.

Didn’t he go to art school? Or am I mixing up killers?

Brian Laundrie potential spotted on deer cam in Florida, cops ‘actively’ investigating

Authorities in Florida said Tuesday that they are “actively” investigating deer camera footage that captured a hiker resembling Gabby Petito’s missing boyfriend Brian Laundrie trekking through the wilderness.

Sam Bass said that he spotted the man toting a backpack at 6:17 a.m. Monday in the town of Baker, Fla., about 500 miles away from Laundrie’s home in North Port.

“I’m not saying this is the guy but whoever was on my trail camera this morning in Baker, Fl strongly fits the description of Brian Laundrie,” Bass wrote on Facebook. “Authorities have been contacted but people in the North West Florida area be on the look out.”

Laundrie, who is a person of interest in Petito’s disappearance, was reported missing by his parents on Friday.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, which has jurisdiction over Baker, confirmed that they were looking into the possible sighting.

“We are aware and are actively checking it out,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Michele Nicholson told The Post Tuesday, adding, “At this point, there is no confirmation.”

Social media sleuths, however, have pointed out that the man’s backpack was similar to one pictured in Laundrie’s Instagram stories.

“Looks like the guy from Sam Bass’ video in Baker, Florida has the same backpack as Brian Laundrie. Could it actually be him?” wrote one Twitter user.

Laundrie’s parents told authorities that he had left home with a backpack to go on a hike in the area and never returned.

Search crews on Tuesday were hunting for him in Carlton Reserve in Sarasota County, where he allegedly abandoned his Ford Mustang.

The hunt for Laundrie comes after authorities found a body believed to be Petito’s in Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming on Sunday.

He only went to high school.

R482, there is a news article that confirms the police SAY they saw him when they took the van. It's in a previous thread, you'll have to look for yourself, sorry.

It kind of looks like him, I guess, but also looks like an older guy.

It kind of looks like him but kind of doesn’t. The backpack does look like the backpack as seen in the Instagram story (screencap on Twitter, linked to in the NYP article).

Doesn’t look like him from that angle. The nose and ear are off.

I’d like to see the deer cam footage in motion.

He should’ve gone south and hired a boat to Cuba.

Yeah, why did that guy release just a still image?

If the guy on the trailcam wasn't wearing such a loose shirt, the Datalounge VPL experts could have told whether it's the same guy!

This is his new fake ID pic

It's so lucky for us that deer are insatiable selfie-takers!

[quote]I have no official knowledge of it , but just based on esp and analytic skills he is either hiding, he killed himself, or he fled the country, imo

What amazing ESP skills!

He seems like a deer in headlights already so it’s fitting.

He worked at a Publix, I read.

To the poster up thread who asked if Gabby ever drove the van. The intro to the Dr Phil interview with her father had a lot of short clips (taken from Instagram?) and in one of them, it looked like she was driving. Couldn’t tell if it was a car or the van but I wasn’t looking very closely.

Maybe Brian just drove so he could feel manlier, and also to claim it as "his", which gave him the power to abandon her in the middle of nowhere.

That's the thing, nobody's ever said for sure whose van it was. Did she own it, yet he treated it like his own? Or was it, as someone said on an earlier thread, the property of his parents?

If he got her high on meth at times, she’d be unable to drive.

Her Guido dad made a HUGE point of saying it was her van, not Brian's, in that war-of-the-narcissists interview with HRM Dr Phil - posted on here yesterday.

He father worked for Time Warner Cable in media sales. Which means he very likely had access to people at the local cable company who in some fashion or even the local TV stations, where maybe he told someone who told someone that his daughter was missing and they suggested maybe they could help at the local level and he agreed. I think once the local news hyped it it didn't take long to go viral. Especially since Gabby herself gave the media so much of herself to draw from with her videos etc. I have seen several stories throughout the summer of little kids lost in the wilderness or campers or WTF, and most of them had happy endings, and it was just summer filler for the media. So while I absolutely agree that people of color are largely ignored, I can see how this particular story evolved and grew. Remember. It stats at the local level. Now would the local media have done as much for him if this involved people of color? We can only speculate, but I doubt it. (Oh, and sometimes the cops can urge the media to help them. But it begins as a local story, and it had a lot of assistance form Gabby. The local media and the national for that matter really didn't have to do much real work on it.

"There are multiple reasons why the murder of Gabby Petito is triggering so many people — one is because we all saw her being successfully gaslit by Brian Laundrie on camera. Any time one person is crying while the other person is laughing — it's a profound red flag. Listen!"

This one caught fire because the millions of unemployed people in America thought they were solving it.

Here's Brian Laundrie's Pinterest account

What r472 said. When I was his age, I took off for for a few months to be a ski bum/ hitchhiker before I went to college and I was an outlier (this was the 80s.) These days, it’s quite common for the young (and millennials) to do this. #vanlife is everywhere on social media and accepted, I’d kill—no pun intended—to do what they were doing. Isn’t it most people’s goal to work and save money so they can retire and travel? They’re were able to do it now so why not? No kids, no mortgage, no pets…

It wasn't him in that deer cam footage

I don't understand the police comment, they found nobody but at the same time the person they found isn't from the area?

Honestly, I don't think that looks like Brian, but I also don't understand that post.

Have you not been following this thread?! THAT VAN BELONGED TO THE DEAD GIRL. Her dad said so on TV a million times according to this thread. I didn't watch the program but it's been mentioned a few times that her dad said THE VAN BELONGED TO THE DEAD GIRL.

"But has he had a chance to shower yet?"

We don't bathe anymore. Just Babywipes and go.

I think I would get tired of 'van life' in about 4 days.

I guess I might be ok with “van life” if I were traveling in a totally luxurious RV. Maybe.

That van is too small even for just 1 person, I can't imagine sharing it with someone else.

Also many couples have broken up on road trips. You are confined for hours on end with another human...

Footage shows Gabby Petito’s van in disarray after Utah police stop

On every trip we have ever taken, my husband and I have "fought." I can't imagine that being my daily life.

I wonder if Brian will become a day laborer somewhere and never be found. And if you have the money you can buy a fake ID and create a new identity, even stealing a social security number.

Van Life people are gross. They shit in buckets and shower once a week. They post their venmos on the back of their vans and e-beg on instagram so naive losers can fund their layabout hedonistic lifestyles. Just because they're mostly attractive white people doesn't mean they're not useless bums.

R484

It looks like him to me.

New lifestyle, not so good.

You can buy a new identity and passport for around $2,000. It’s best to shop around.

What rich men want...and it's not Bea or Huge.

I'm glad the Twitter psychics are on the case!

[Quote]I wonder if Brian will become a day laborer somewhere and never be found.

I mentioned this in the other thread but I wonder how easily he can disappear into the homeless population. All he needs is the willingness to be homeless. He was almost living that way on the road. Most homeless are off the grid, don't watch media, don't want to be bothered and generally leave others alone. He also suffers from psychosis so once he gets dirty and scruffs up he'll blend in. The homeless also don't like the police. Hard to imagine he'd get turned in if he's recognized.

The toxicology report is going to be interesting.

HOLY SHIT. If true, this is nothing short of mind-boggling!

R523, that will probably take awhile.

R524 Yeah...it's Naya Rivera all over again

R500 What? She would drive better on meth. Ur trippin.

On the shore! In the cabins! Why aren’t they looking there!

The back/living space area looked demolished when the cops pulled them over. It's really unlikely GP truly had "OCD" ... And this was almost two weeks before she vanished. Looks like they werent sleeping in the van by mid-August.

R524 But couldn't that be someone else? A hacker? How do you know it was him?

I don’t know how they could even tell, r530.

Wow. Wonder how they were able to determine it was a homicide so fast?

Bullet or strangulation marks? So sad.

[quote]#GabbyPetito cause of death is strangulation by ligature, according to very reliable sources. The fractured hyoid bone leaves no room for doubt, in my view. This is what I reported days ago.

His next post says the following:

[quote]One of the primary parties in the #GabbyPetito #BrianLaundrie case has hired me as a media consultant. For that and reasons of journalistic integrity, I will maintain confidentiality of my sources and continue to report factually and objectively as this case further evolves.

This is obviously unconfirmed, I've never heard of this guy.

WaPo just confirmed coroner reported it's a homicide.

Guy at R536 is highly questionable. One of his Twitter followers is (was) John McAfee.

[quote]The FBI is seeking information from anyone who utilized the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area between the dates of August 27-30, 2021, who may have had contact with Ms. Petito or Mr. Laundrie, or who may have seen their vehicle.

[quote]“At the request of @NorthPortPolice, @MyFWC law enforcement has been assisting in the search for Brian Laundrie,” Gov. DeSantis tweeted. “I have directed all state agencies under my purview to continue to assist federal & local law enforcement as they continue to search.”

I guess DeSantis is good for something.

I have the same birthday as her. Fuck you Brian!

No estimation of time of death, that would be important.

Strangulation by ligature and broken hyoid bone. Like Jeffrey Epstein.

R543, we have no idea if the report about strangulation is true. However, the conclusion that her death was a homicide is official. That means that it wasn’t “accidental,” as some posters had been hopefully asserting.

Brian was considered a person of interest because there was no evidence of a crime previously. But now that the autopsy has indicated a homicide, why isn't Brian considered a suspect yet?

Wrapped up for the night

Has Dr Phil commented yet?

Who cares? Just another dumb, white girl with an abusive boyfriend who murdered her. Why is this one special? Happens every fucking day.

Well, her boyfriend has really big, sexy feet. There’s that, R548.

Hey. My cousin's daughter was a recovering addict with mental health issues who had an abusive ex. They had two kids together so even though he had a girlfriend he was still in and out of her house to see his sons. So one day, the ex con was loaded on steroids, and when he and his girlfriend came to pick up the kids for the weekend, he and my cousin's daughter had a fight and he stabbed her to death while his girlfriend waited in the car. The girlfriend thought they were "just fighting."

Is he hot, R550?

I don't know that you can infer much from the Spotify situation, I have two-factor authentication on and change my password regularly and I still get notifications every few months that someone else has logged into my account. They have terrible security.

R515 I can. That was my parents daily life. And not in a van in a house. Unfortunately no one was killed. They were Catholics so they believed in destroying each other emotionally. And their kids.

People don't care about young white men or old white people either so it isn't just a matter of color. It's the whole young white damsel in distress routine. It's not supposed to happen to them. Men, oldsters and POC? It's a big yawn. They're a dime a dozen.

Because people were commenting on Gabby's dad, the Facebook page of Kylen Schulte, one of the two women from Moab who were murdered in August, almost brought me to tears. He calls himself KYCRYDAD, because for him not just Kylen but and her wife Crystal too are his daughters.

I'd cut Gabby's dad some slack, this media stuff might just be his way of dealing with the situation, stopping his mind from going to some dark places.

By the way, Kylen's dad says both she and Crystal were raped. This is very possible as according to the police warrant they were both found “undressed from the waist down,” and one of the two “had on a bra that was raised to expose her breasts”.

This could therefore also be a homophobic hate crime, a man who specifically wanted to rape a lesbian couple.

R509, The van is 9 years old(2012) so Gabby probably purchased it used.

But, Brian owns a pretty new looking Ford Mustang at his parents' house in FL. How could he afford to buy that?

So, was Brian's the only cock Gabby ever had?

R557 His and his parents drug dealing?

r555, what were the comments about Gabby's dad? I'm out of the loop.

In this instance I can't argue with the 'white girl gone missing' imbalance. Who cares? The only significance about this run of the mill domestic is it took place in the great outdoors. It's unfortunate, but it says more about cable than it does about crime.

R554, it’s also used as a cautionary tale to young women—don’t go on adventures! Don’t leave the house! Stay here and be a happy housewife! You won’t be killed!

I love how everything including the murder of a young woman turns into a race issue. But what about all the black trans Mormon amputees who have gone missing? Where’s the love and attention for them? Bottom line: a young woman’s life was cut short after being in what looks like an abusive relationship. Don’t turn it into a competition. I’m a gay white male in my late 60s and, trust me, no one would care if I went missing. But it doesn’t make me whine WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEE?

[quote] trust me, no one would care if I went missing.

Well, we would.

[quote]I’m a gay white male in my late 60s and, trust me, no one would care if I went missing. But it doesn’t make me whine WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEE?

Which sounds suspiciously like a WHINE ABOUT YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!

So is it true Brian Laundrymat went live on Instagram by accident yesterday for a few seconds? I saw footage of water

[quote]In this instance I can't argue with the 'white girl gone missing' imbalance. Who cares? The only significance about this run of the mill domestic is it took place in the great outdoors. It's unfortunate, but it says more about cable than it does about crime.

There's also her social media presence in documenting what proved to be her final journey. Don't forget we're living in the age of "influencers."

It doesn't seem to be true, r566. The video came from some random account claiming they got it off IG but it doesn't have the tags an IG live would have.

[quote]Crucially, the video being circulated is missing an overlay that is typical of Instagram Live videos: a "Live" logo and a numeric count of how many viewers are watching.

R560, that he was a macho creep on Dr Phil, called Laundrie Brianna and her other boyfriends by feminised version of their names, that's he's trashy.

This morning on CNN, they interviewed a psychologist who said when so much attention is paid to missing white women, it sends a message to prospective abductors that they should prey upon a female of color because the search for her will be much less intense.

R569, The father's rather hot, bet he throws a good fuck.

R571. Give him a shout. He may need some consoling right about now.

I've fallen behind in my reading especially with 3 threads on this, but he's most likely alligator excrement (who knew SOMETHING was capable of making him look better). I still think Gabby had yet-to-be dropped crotchfruit (unless more autopsy details indicate otherwise), or she was threatening to turn him in for the lesbian murders, and he toed up loose ends.

Even if he didn't do it, she may have had herself convinced her did, and was threatening him with that, given the paranoia that accompanies bi-polar , truth makes little difference.

I hope this is a parody post.

She kinda has one of those Johnny Carson names, doesn't she? Can't you imagine Carson saying in that Reggie Van Gleason voice "Hmmmm Gabby PETITOOOO"

I couldn’t give a shit if I tried. I see stories like this on ID Channel and Oxygen 24 hrs a day.

You've posted that on multiple threads r576 which kinda says you do give a shit.

Also, since you're leaving your TV on ID and Oxygen all day while they run shows about stories like this, it seems like you do indeed give a shit.

Um , r577 only one other thread. And you need to go get a life.

Just a suggestion, since we're getting near 600 posts, can we not start a new thread and instead go to the already active thread that has fewer than 200 replies right now?

^^ I don’t agree to that

[quote] I couldn’t give a shit if I tried.

So take a pill or something. Dafuq we care?

You can’t make me care about anything named Gabby. I do not know her or her boyfriend.

R574, She was on with Brianna this morning. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and even played it back.

R574, Here's the clip, go to 1:50. She's a journalist, not a psychologist, my bad.

The related thread on Brian Laundrie will continue (and be updated regularly) here:

Watching ID and Oxygen 24 hours a day and other people need to get a life?

It's time for a new thread any minute.

What is this bullshit about going back to abandoned threads? Just move on. It's not as if we're "saving" something or gaining anything by recycling dead threads. Start a new one with the date so we know where the latest is to be found.

Or I'll start a new one if people are busy having a meeting about it, whatever.

I’m ok going to one of the other threads, tbh r587. They actually aren’t dead, and there are so many that I prefer consolidating a bit.

It's not as if we're saving shelf space, dear.

R584 - So, over 34,000 white women went missing and we know the names of... 4. That means the other 33,996+ white women are also underrepresented in media attention. The next largest group was AA at around 15,000. That's 15,000 unrepresented missing AA women and almost 34,000 unrepresented missing white women.

White privilege at work. (eyeroll)

R587 is just bitching at my suggestion we not create yet another thread, because they said something stupid elsewhere and I made fun of them for it. There is no emotion on DL other than spite.

Of course those other threads we could have used aren't abandoned, they were (and still are) active, he's just lying.
