Dirty Laundry — The Death of Gabby Petito and the Hunt for Brian Laundrie

Pray continue, my dear detectives.

by Anonymousreply 193October 4, 2021 7:23 PM

Continue what?

by Anonymousreply 1September 20, 2021 11:05 AM

What we know as of today:

1) Remains of Gabrielle "Gabby" Petito were found in Wyoming (near an RV camp site at the Grand Tetons Park)

2) Her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, is missing and has been designated a Person Of Interest (POI)

3) The van has been confiscated by authorities in Florida

4) The Laundrie family never commented on the search for Gabby, Brian is not willing to talk

I'd add to point 4 - Brian has escaped with the help of his family.

by Anonymousreply 4September 20, 2021 11:14 AM

Absolutely, R4.

They're looking at an arrest warrant for abetting a suspect.

by Anonymousreply 5September 20, 2021 11:17 AM

Was he actually confirmed as a suspect at the time? Or only a person of interest? I'm genuinely asking because I'm wondering if there are big legal differences between aiding just a person of interest vs. a named suspect, etc. I'm purely just wondering if it would be so big as obstruction of justice charges, etc. Quite a circus.

by Anonymousreply 6September 20, 2021 11:22 AM

If I understand correctly, POI precedes Suspect. It's basically detectives having a strong hunch that you committed the deed, but they don't have enough evidence / testimonials to designate you as a suspect. But: A POI can also be someone who the police believe to know more about a case. This would have been the case for Brian Laundrie, for he was arguably the last to have seen Gabby alive.

Maybe a DL'er with a better grasp of US law can explain better, but this is how I understand the different definitions.

by Anonymousreply 7September 20, 2021 11:25 AM

R6 I see your point: Enabling a POI to evade the police is probably not/less of an offence than helping a Suspect flee, even if that POI got later upgraded to Suspect.

by Anonymousreply 8September 20, 2021 11:28 AM

There's no such charge as aiding/abetting a suspect or POI.

It's the aiding & abetting of a CRIMINAL. So the timeline of WHEN the parents helped him doesn't matter.

by Anonymousreply 9September 20, 2021 11:29 AM

Only a person of interest. The cops kept saying there was no criminal investigation, just one (and later two) missing persons investigations.

He most likely offed her, but maybe (as Dutchie speculated on the previous thread) more a case of a fight that escalated and she fell rather than him intentionally murdering her.

Utterly retarded. His artwork was nothing special in terms of skill or idea, but it was not Satanic. “Pedo behavior,” don’t make me laugh. He loves Chuck Palahniuk and Fight Club. Perfectly common, basic bro. I’m not saying he didn’t kill her, but there is nothing about his Instagram that looks Satanic or pedophilic or that would be an indication he’s a murderous psychopath. Sounds like the Redditors you’re quoting have too much time on their hands and lead exceedingly sheltered, clueless lives.

The lesbian couple were shot multiple times while sleeping. They complained at the bar on Fri night, payday, that there was an OLDER man creeping them out who was staying nearby. Went so far as to state that they would be soon changing their campground location as they were worried about being attacked.

Neither Brian nor Gabby were at the bar that Fri night. No evidence that they were camping in the same place as the married women.

Another traveler said he reported to LE that a creeper in his 40's had been harassing his 9-year-old daughter and talking to her about trafficking (drugs, women, "illegals?") Police ignored his calls so he posted a strong warning on the internet. This is just a claim, don't know if his story of reporting to LE was ever verified.

Others on the internet have claimed it was a drug deal gone bad as pot, drug paraphernalia (to weigh the pot) and etc were found near the 2 women. Again repeating what I remember from reading on Reddit which admittedly isn't always accurate. Yes some of the posters are likely homophobic and anti-drugs.

Numerous legitimate media have repeated LE statements that the murders are not connected and are just coincidental.

Gabby's BFF Rose was quoted in the Daily Fail as saying Brian was unreasonably controlling and didn't want his then fiancee going out to bars or elsewhere. At one point he temporarily took away her ID and the keys to her vehicle.

Gabby was supposed to meet up with Rose on 8/29 on her birthday in the mountains. When she didn't even contact Rose thru Social Media as was her norm Rose became alarmed. Gabby was known to be extremely reliable and predictable.

When their arguments got too bad Gabby stayed at Rose's home, a total of 10 times over the past year. Rose lived about 30 - 45 minutes away from Brian's parents.

Gabby originally met Rose on the BFF side of Bumble an internet matching site. There's also a side for those of the same sex to meet for romantic friendships. Since Gabby had recently moved to FL she hadn't yet made girlfriends.

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.

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

This guy is your young male basic bitch 100%. This is exactly the type of faux-profound unearned cynicism that sweet, aimless, not too bright, slightly insecure and slightly lost young girls like Gabby go for. Men like that, unaccomplished and deeply insecure about their own masculinity, go for girls like that like fat kids go for candy. The only thing that makes them feel like men is pretty girls who mistake their insipid ramblings for intelligence and seriousness. These guys never respect any girl willing to fuck them, and usually resent them for their "clinginess" and easily impressed natures at the same time as they need both very badly.

It's basic misogyny. So common most of us don't even recognize it for what it is.

Regardless of who the abuser is, once the police are involved in a relationship, nothing good can come of staying together. Police shouldn’t encourage couples involved in violent altercations to reconcile and certainly not a young unmarried without children who had no strings to untie.

in theory, the cops could arrest the girl and that might have saved her, but in reality if the involved parties stopped fighting and were not belligerent after the police arrived, they would received a citation at most if there is an injury etc, an arrest is very unlikely especially if she showed remorse, so I don't know how different the outcome would be, even if they did issue a citation, she would be still in the van with him.

So, according to the mother, on 27/8, a text was sent from Gabby's phone to her about her grandfather leaving voice-mails and missed calls and asking the mother to sort him out. In the text, the grandfather was referred to as "Stan," which isn't a way Gabby talks about her grandfather.

We also know that Gabby's body was found across the river bed from where the Bethune's spotted the van on 27/8 6 PM. I can't imagine someone--even someone who wasn't bright--would drag as body in broad daylight across what looks to be an open river bed.

Does it sound feasible that it was done in the dark, the van had been there the whole day, and Gabby was killed the night of 26/8 (or that day)?

So Kylen Schulte WAS working at Moonflower the day Brian and Gabby were seen in an altercation in front of the store, but she'd gotten off work 1 1/2 hours prior to the 911 call.

Still, Brian tells the cops he was there until 3:00PM, meaning they were in the area during her work shift.

My only real concern about whether he was the creep at the campgrounds is how he got there, since Gabby was the one who took the van. But maybe they didn't stay apart that night at all, I'm not sure we know for certain that they did separate, they may have said they would and then a few hours later met back up again.

But then maybe called his parents and they told him to get home and he went back to the van and hightailed it home. I think no matter what Brians parents are going to get arrested for obstruction (at the least).

On the other hand, the murdered women could have seem him from afar, and he might have projected an older image to them.

Yeah, r146, it’s difficult to reconcile the “old, creepy guy” description with Brian. Maybe the woman who reported it was the younger one. Sometimes to young women, anyone over 30 is old. But again, if the deaths were some bizarre coincidence, it would be bizarre indeed. I mean, some creep killed these girls out of nowhere, for no reason, seemingly, and we have Brian in the exact vicinity, who also killed a girl. I don’t know—I would have be be dissuaded that there was no connection. It’s just too coincidental. Brian may not be the next Zodiac killer, but he might be a killer who killed these girls, and found it made it easier to kill his girlfriend.

The double-murder perpetrator supposedly using the gun of the victims—if they even had one—seems extremely unlikely. It would certainly have been mentioned by LEO. Something like that is no petty detail.

What homicidal psychopath is going to take the risk of attacking someone knowing they have a gun without having one of their own? The theory that he took their supposed weapon and then shot them instead of using his own is absurd. Secondly, the police have stated very clearly that they've left no stone unturned into their investigation of any possible connection with the two events. Surely with the sloppy, guilty behavior of Brian he would've left evidence behind.

[quote]The lesbians mentioned an "old, creepy guy" lurking around their camp, not at the cafe.

Where was his age mentioned? The early reporting used only “creeper dude.” That wording came from the friend who found their bodies, Cindy Sue Hunter, and she was quoting Kylen Schulte’s father.

Before anyone else was covering the Schulte-Turner murders, she spoke to the Moab Times Independent:

[quote]While she was on the mountain, Hunter said that Sean-Paul Schulte called her to say he had just learned that the couple had talked at the bars on Saturday about a “creeper dude,” as Hunter put it, being near their campsite before they left.

Later, the Daily Beast interviewed Kayla Borza, a friend who was at the bar with them:

[quote]“We were just having a great time, having a couple drinks, and all they said was there was a creep [staying] next to them,” said Kayla Borza, who was one of the last people to see Kylen Schulte, 24, and Crystal Beck, 38, alive. “And that was it.”

[quote]Neither of them shared further details about the strange man, Borza told The Daily Beast, adding, “I don’t know why the creep wanted to kill them.”

And this is how it was described in the affidavit for a search warrant:

[quote]Investigators were informed that Kylen had mentioned to her friends that if something happened to them, that they were murdered. Kylen had continued by saying there was a “creepy man” around their camp and they had been intimidated by him. Kylen and Crystal were reported to be last seen at Woody’s Tavern. Bar security footage shows them at the bar on the night of August 13, 2021 leaving at approximately 20:30 hours.

Brian murdered all three. A young woman might have described him as "old." Moreover, he had to have seen her earlier, and wouldn't have known when her shift ended.

All Laundries knew was that there was a probable witness to his altercation with Gabby. He tracked her, found her together with her wife, and eliminated them both (in for a penny,.....) to secure his freedom.

Davis, who spoke to a number of news outlets on Saturday, claims he saw Brian Laundrie driving in a white pickup truck around 12:30 a.m. ET on Saturday in Tennessee near the North Carolina border.

"He was talking wild. He said that his girlfriend loved him and he had to go out to California to see her, and he was asking me how to get to California," Davis can he heard telling a 911 operator in the audio. He added later that he was "99.99% sure that was him."
