Boyfriend of missing van-life woman wrote mysterious post a year ago
Daily Mail ^ | 9/14/2021 | Rachel Sharp and Peter Belfiore and Brian Stieglitz

Posted on 09/15/2021 6:41:58 AM PDT by sodpoodle

Utah police have revealed they responded to an 'incident' involving 22-year-old 'van-life woman' Gabby Petito and her boyfriend (pictured together, centre), just two weeks before she was last seen in Wyoming. Moab Chief of Police Bret Edge said: 'Our officers did respond to an incident involving Brian Laundrie and Gabrielle Petito on 12 August 2021 however, neither Brian or Gabrielle were the reporting party. Officers conducted an investigation and determined that insufficient evidence existed to justify criminal charges.' It not clear what the incident was about. Petito was reported missing by her mother, Nichole Schmidt, on September 11, two weeks after they had last spoken to her on the phone. Laundrie, who went to Florida in the van (bottom left) he shared with Petito, has since hired a lawyer and refused to tell Petito's family where she was last seen. The couple had been travelling together in their van and she was last seen on Grand Teton National Park (top left).

There was a time not very long ago when the male members of this girl’s family would meet alone with her boyfriend and within twenty minutes her precise location would be determined. Today very much doubt this girl has any family with real men of honor and purpose.

I was in that exact area in June.

There are a million places to hide a body it’s so sparsely populated.

Have to excerpt Daily Mail articles and couldn’t reach the same page. The first article was really long with many photos.

Here’s another clip:

Utah police have revealed they responded to an ‘incident’ involving 22-year-old ‘van-life woman’ Gabby Petito and her boyfriend (pictured together, centre), just two weeks before she was last seen in Wyoming. Moab Chief of Police Bret Edge said: ‘Our officers did respond to an incident involving Brian Laundrie and Gabrielle Petito on 12 August 2021 however, neither Brian or Gabrielle were the reporting party. Officers conducted an investigation and determined that insufficient evidence existed to justify criminal charges.’ It not clear what the incident was about. Petito was reported missing by her mother, Nichole Schmidt, on September 11, two weeks after they had last spoken to her on the phone. Laundrie, who went to Florida in the van he shared with Petito, has since hired a lawyer and refused to tell Petito’s family where she was last seen. The couple had been travelling together in their van and she was last seen on Grand Teton National Park.

While the hunt for the missing 22-year-old continues, it was revealed that Laundrie posted a mysterious 'til death do us part' message on Instagram about Petito around a year before she disappeared.

'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,' Laundrie wrote in a July 2020 post.

The post included a photo of the couple and appeared to be celebrating their engagement.

'Till death do us part or until I wake up, I'm so happy the answer was yes, Love you hunny,' the post continues.

Bread and circuses And squirrels

I tune in for the news and get her repetitive photos over and over......
....the media wants to distract us with this story ( however sad it may be)
...so we won’t dwell or ask too many questions why our country is sliding down the drain

This doesn’t seem mysterious to me. I don’t think till death fo us part is a clue to murder.

I assume they will get phone data and use it to track movements. And then cadaver dogs will be used to search those areas. A mix of technology and good old fashioned searching will find her.

Yes, people disappear all the time. And mostly it's easy for cops to determine if the disappearance was voluntary or not. That isn't the case here.

This being a young white attractive girl makes it more newsworthy as well.
