I don’t think she was attacked by a bear. That wasn’t my premise.
It’s not really known if that’s where he went, it’s what his parents said and they waited four days to report him “missing”. They know exactly where he has gone, probably helped him, so they are complicit along with his sister who gave the ridiculous interviews. Under these circumstances how many parents would let their son even leave the house, let alone roam into a swamp, and when he doesn’t come home the next day, they pick up the car.
How do they stop him from leaving the house? He’s not an 8-year-old kid.
Sry. After posting I realized I combined two posts in my thought process.
However, if I found my woman murdered I’d call authorities for that too. Most normal people would. Wouldn’t they?
I’d fiat clear the scene of potential future danger though.
OODA loop and all...
We would but he’s immature. And they’d already had the police called on them for fighting. I would expect he’d run as he has done again.
Have you seen his artwork on Instagram? Looks like budding schizophrenia. @bizarre_design_
I saw some of it in an article. Very bizarre and scary.
I only commented because I recognized the name Matthew Shepherd as a murder victim in another case. He wasn’t one of the killers in the murder of James Byrd. So, I found their names (Berry, Brewer, and King) and found out King was the one whose father connected with the Byrd family.
Hard to imagine the Petito and Laundrie families ever connecting in the same way...
“I suspect what we have here is a multi murderer who probably plied his craft with young women.”
Wrong. He and Gabby lived with his parents for I believe it was 2 years, and were engaged to be married. Both are young.
“Any news on the other couple’s murder in that area.”
Police say it was totally unrelated.
How do they know that it was unrelated?
I’m so sorry for your loss! My prayers are with you.
‘How do they know that it was unrelated?”
Ask them.
They were looking at the cell phone pings. What nailed down the area where they found Gabby's body was a video someone was taking to document their travel. I think it was a woman taking the video. When she heard about the story she remembered doing the video of a white van parked off the road. That brought searchers to that location where Gabby was found.
Not sure where people are getting the idea that the two Moab area cases are unrelated, a news story that I linked to (see page three) says that police are looking into any possible links. They are simply not sure whether there could be links or not.
If you read that link you would see that the now well-publicized video argument between the couple was at just about the same time as the lesbian couple were complaining to friends in Moab about being camped beside “a creepy guy” and other than that we know nothing about the further movements of either of the video blog couple (who briefly separated, she stayed with the van and he was given an overnight hospice by the police). At some point between that incident and the discovery by a friend of the body of one of the lesbian couple, presumably they were murdered by the creepy campsite guy, but there’s no sure way to know if that was on any of the four days or nights between these known incidents.
I happen to know the area a bit, and the lesbian couple were camped about 20 miles southeast of Moab in the La Sal Mountains; the video blog couple were tracked down by Moab police (Grand county police) driving north out of town after their reported altercation in town (which seems to have been at a location connected to the workplace of one of the eventually murdered lesbians).
That of course proves nothing but does it not seem a bit odd that this couple and the dead couple were camping around Moab at the same time and doing things in town at very similar locations? Anyway, the police would not be in a position to drop this line of investigation nor would it be an obvious primary lead. Who knows?
As it’s fairly clear that the video blog couple had further arguments and that she probably died within a week to ten days of the Moab visit, you have to wonder what issue was causing such tension, if she suspected him of being the killer and said so, you have an obvious motive for him to add her to the list. I wasn’t too certain what the Grand Teton national forest camping area witness sightings indicated, but it seemed to be more about the vehicle than seeing her alive, so that does not establish she had remained alive to that point in time.
That’s a dispersed “camp where you can find a good spot” national forest area along a creek valley, fairly remote, and possibly the campsite they used (or he used) was not visited again for several days or weeks, so this would explain why dogs might find a body this long afterwards (you might think in a national park campground full of campers, surely a dead body even partially buried would attract attention, but this national forest camping area is a long way out from the national park campgrounds.
Some of the cheaper and less maintained national forest camping areas are little more than a clearing with a parking spot. There are of course much better ones with supervision and an overnight fee, tables and washrooms, but they do have these very sketchy middle of nowhere campsites that I would avoid in this day and age.
Also this just occurred to me, notice the connection between remote national forest campgrounds in Moab and near Grand Teton (or equivalent Bureau of Land Management camping possibly, which is basically totally unregulated on public lands).
Thanks for sharing details that only someone familiar with the area might know.
The idea that the two cases are unrelated came from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office.
On Sept. 17, the sheriff’s office put out a statement:
“It has been determined that the Gabby Petito missing person case is not related to the double-homicide involving Crystal Turner and Kylen Schulte.”
Here’s the statement on the sheriff’s Facebook page:
It’s quite the coincidence, though, isn’t it? Maybe the police put out that statement to mislead the suspect into thinking he wasn’t being investigated for that crime.
On the other hand, maybe he really had nothing to do with the two women’s murder. Maybe he snapped and accidentally killed his girlfriend. That is, he might not be a serial killer.
. . . Laundrie left the home on Tuesday morning with a backpack, telling them that he was going on a hike. On Wednesday, the family went out to look for Laundrie and found his vehicle near the Carlton Reserve. The car had a note from the North Port Police Department saying that it needed to be removed.
Local weather does not appear to be the reason for search suspension.
"As authorities continue searching for Brian Laundrie in Florida and work to confirm that a body found Sunday in Wyoming is that of Gabby Petito, internet sleuths have pointed out footage of Laundrie reading a book about women who go missing.In a video called "VAN LIFE | Beginning Our van Life Journey," posted to Petito's YouTube channel Nomadic Statik on August 19, Laundrie is briefly seen reading the book Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. In the novel, four women travel into an uninhabited area. Three of women die, and the fourth stays in the area permanently."
