Long Island dad begs for return of daughter who vanished on road trip
NY Post ^ | 09/13/2021 | Jackie Salo

The desperate dad of a Long Island woman who went missing during a cross-country trip with her boyfriend told The Post on Monday that he is only focused on bringing her home — adding, “All of the crap afterward will sort itself out.”

Gabby Petito, 22, was last known to be in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park in late August after heading out on a road trip a month earlier with her boyfriend, identified on social media as Brian Laundrie.

Laundrie, who has since returned to Florida, has reportedly hired a lawyer and refused to cooperate with authorities.

“I want to keep the focus on finding [Gabby],” Joe Petito told The Post amid questions about what happened to his daughter. “[Laundrie] doesn’t matter. The van [they were in] doesn’t matter.

“Don’t focus on the crap, focus on finding her. I can’t implore that enough. All of the crap afterward will sort itself out. Please find her. I beg you,” the dad said, addressing authorities and the public.

“Of course, he’s a suspect.”

Really. The significant other is always the #1 suspect — until he’s not. That’s just protocol.

Either an OD or he killed her. This one will get a lot of coverage with the youtube angle to the story.

My understanding is he drove the van home alone and has no explanation to what happened to her.

The van “has been recovered” implies it had been missing.

It wasn't missing, it was seized by the cops after he returned to Florida and the parents filed the missing persons report.......

Can they track the footsteps of her cell phone without having the actual phone?

Yes; it’s done all the time. It’s probably already been done. But that’s just the phone; it doesn’t show who has the phone.

“… It means nothing, but the guy just doesn’t look like a criminal.…”
*********************************************************
I guess I have more exposure to criminals but if I saw him with the beautiful young girls in my family, I’d immediately peg him as a dirtbag to them.

I think thats a solid theory. Lots of seemingly “safe” drugs (i.e. cocaine) are laced with Fentanyl these days. They do a little blow, she dies, he panics.

She’s 22. He’s much older, at least 28 but probably 35 or older. Dirtbag.

No it doesn't but if the technology is there, then they can begin tracing her route from when her last legitimate contact with any family member was made........

You jump to a lot of conclusions on FR.

My guess is fentanyl cut into recreational drugs.

I'm not sure of anything - it's actually too soon in the news cycle.

You appear to have already convicted him. When is sentence carried out?*

*Not defending him - I believe she's dirt-napping, and he knows all about it.
