And what sort of “supplies” for van life could he bring back on a commercial flight that he couldn’t obtain near the camp site? Maybe the question should be what .did he bring back to Fla.

Now wondering if the parents hid that info from the lawyer if he just now put it out there. It’s so easy to check flight manifest, TSA, Airlines, etc. once a flight was mentioned.

Meanwhile they’re still searching in Florida....for a fat Burmese python lazing in the sun sleeping off a really big pile of laundrie. Burp...

I don’t think he’s in - or has been in - that swamp - unless he went there to die.

It seems like a dead end, and he would know that.

He got demoted for not being part of the Heinz (Kerry) family of products. He might not even be a "Mr." anymore...

This is starting to look like a Friday - or even Sunday - night thread :-)

Hey, my recipe suggestions are usually far more substantive - if not as interesting...

My thought is, there was something in the storage unit he desperately needed to get rid of, maybe something Gabby knew about and had threatened to report. He went back to Florida one day before the bodies of the dead women were found and four days after the search began for them which would have been August 13, one day after the police encounter with Petito and Laundrie, which put Laundrie on the police radar. He returned to Utah on the 23rd and Gabby’s last conversation with her mother was the 25th.

It seems there was a lot of desperation on his part leading up to the death of Petito.

What could that be?

No idea, and just speculation on my part. But it seems like the trip to Florida and getting out of the Moab area was desperation. Who leaves a vacation for six days to empty out a storage unit and get camping items? Did he really take a flight or did he drive back to Florida and was Gabby with him?

Well, if you have no idea, perhaps he came back for exactly the reason communicated.

Storage spaces have become very expensive - two people could eat for a month on what some of them cost in my area, and I would think that they’re even more expensive in Florida.

I wonder where all Gabby’s items are now.

It's a shame that he had time to dispose of evidence and probably some of her things before the police even found out she was missing.

When the police finally entered the house and removed things, maybe they found some things that belonged to her.

And you can’t ask your parents to clean out your storage bin for you. Gotta do it yourself. What rubbish. Parents are looking more and more like colluders all the time.

As everyone knows, much of a storage shelter is just that - rubbish. Parents wouldn’t be comfortable throwing out the child’s stuff.I’m not defending the parents but this isn’t as much of a factor as you suggest.

Jen Psaki spins less than the Laundrie lawyer.

"The average cost of a 1 month self storage unit rental in North Port is $142.19 with prices starting at $26.00."

Even months of storage is cheaper than a return flight to Florida, especially when one has family so willing to tidy up after him.

Likely minimalist storage and, even if not, I suspect his parents wouldn’t have any problem disposing of “stuff” on/at his behalf/bequest. Putting that aside, it’s the timing and cost that make this seem odd and not as described.

I also suspect something other than media’s narrative.
So if Gabby was OCD as she told police and since they left for the roadtrip from NY, seems plausible that Gabby wouldn’t want to take her meds to NY fearing that her parents may find out. If so, then maybe Brian had to go Fla to pick up Gabby’s prescription meds for her?

That isn’t what I’m seeing, and it depends on the size; but I’ll admit that it’s a lot cheaper than here - at least, it is to START. Every year they increase the price, and ours has gone up over $150 in the years we’ve had it.

That makes no sense. Why wouldn’t she want to take her meds? Why would she hide the fact that she was on prescriptions?

And her parents knew all about her trip. Her father said yesterday that maybe he should have done more to warn her about this trip - but she was an adult.

(What ‘meds’ do they give you for ‘OCD’, anyway?)
