Underwater dive team joins Florida manhunt for Gabby Petito’s boyfriend
NY Post ^ | 09/22/2021 | Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

An “underwater recovery team” has joined the search for Gabby Petito’s boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, in a 25,000-acre Florida reserve, according to reports.

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office dive crew arrived at the Carlton Reserve on Wednesday to look for Laundrie, a person of interest in Petito’s death in Wyoming.

The Sheriff’s Underwater Recovery Force, or SURF, is a team of “highly trained underwater specialists,” the sheriff’s website says.

“Area resources are looking at large bodies of water, including dive teams, boats, and sonar equipment,” North Port police spokesman Josh Taylor said. “At this time, this does not mean anything has been found. It’s part of the overall search process.”

How did this get to be such a big deal? Does the media need to distract the public so much that they make this a major story?

I used to do this kind of diving. It’s an absolute waste of time unless you have defined target areas. Divers cannot sweep large areas, but they can do intensive searches of small areas.

That's why I'm wondering if a search dog didn't pick up on a scent or they spotted some evidence that points to Brian. And the police just aren't saying anything about it for now.

Exactly.

How much would be spent if the victim was old, brown, and fat?

So is this the kind of guy that would eat things that’d make a billy goat puke?

It’s a lot of effort just to commit suicide. The car at the preserve could be a diversion.

If not, my guess is he’s heading to Miami to lose himself in a crowded spanish speaking neighborhood. Not as much populated area to cross heading south.

He can wind his way down to big cypress as long as a gator or python doesn’t suck him up. Can be just west of Miami. I’d check to see if he can speak spanish.

It would be a big, wet, hike though. Probably about 250 miles.

I'm surprised we're focusing on a 25,000 acre swamp which will more than likely prove .... if he IS there ... that he too is dead.

So THEN the focus of the sheeple will be arguing about the how's and why's and STILL have a faction that'll argue he did it and iced himself.

If this is in Florida, maybe the Sheriff should also have a Python Hunting Contest. One of those hunters is likely to come across the suspect, if he’s even in that area.

My thoughts exactly. The parents are the key. They’ll lead leos to the perp.

If he’s in the water he’ll float. If he’s in a gator he’ll stink.

It’s just like that dumb blonde in Aruba, years ago. It grabs headlines and titillates the same people who watch reality shows. The fact that inspector Clouseau is apparently in charge, is a plus.

He’s long gone from there by now. He got snapped on a game camera up in N Fl.

At first I thought of “suicide by swamp” but now I don’t know…

Yeah. I'm not making any guesses either. I simply don't know what to think.

OK lets see, we pissed away enough on ATV’s, Swapbuggies, Dogs and overtime in the preserve so now lets drain another budget, the dive team.

These boys may want to contact this moron from a few weeks ago.

It's racist for anyone else to be a victim./s
