Except the van belonged to her. Why would she leave it? And : Laundrie told police he and Petito both suffered from a mental condition and that neither take medication,
maybe they got into a fight, she stormed off, waiting for him to come get her. 22 year old girl, that could happen.
Maybe he did look, could not find her, and took off.
and as for her being medicated and NOT taking the meds, that feeds right into my “dippy” description.
Altho that comes from her beau, not her parents, so who knows if she is on meds?
I read too much true crime. Sorry.
