John Walsh thinks Brian isn't in that swamp, was never in that swamp-that it's a red herring given by the parents to the police to give Brain more time to escape and hide. I thought that right away. I think the police are wasting their time searching there. I believe he left the country while he was still able to do so and his parents helped him escape. I am sure he has changed his looks by now as well.
Plus how were Gabby and Brian financing this months long cross country trip? They were young and not working. Even if you are sleeping in the van you have expenses such as food and gas which adds up over such a long trip. I wondered about that as well...but they may have saved up for the trip or perhaps they have income from their Instagram accounts?

What a let down! The show never aired on "In Pursuit with John Walsh". It was really strange. I caught part of a interview on CNN at 8:00 pm with John Walsh talking about this case and his theories and he mentioned that he'd have further information tonight (last night) on his show at 10:00 pm. He said his show. After I couldn't find it I thought maybe it was on a special show on CNN or something like that and I missed it, but I clearly remember him saying "his show". Each Wednesday a new episode airs and last night's episode had nothing to do with this case. I looked everywhere on his show and nothing resembling this case was on it. I'm disappointed because I really want to watch this show. What I heard him say during that CNN short interview sounds like what I've been thinking. John Walsh thinks Brian isn't in that swamp, was never in that swamp-that it's a red herring given by the parents to the police to give Brain more time to escape and hide. He says he knew Gabby was an being abused by Brain from the minute he saw the cop video and he got chills from that video. He also said it'll be the public that helps to locate Brian. I'm going to do some searching on Google to see if I can find this show. Did any other Peas find it and watch it? PS. Just checked Google again and it says the show was on "In Pursuit with John Walsh". How very odd. I saw the CNN clip and he was really pissed. He was saying some stuff I though might get him in some legal trouble. I understand his anger. In his mind the police have botched this from the very beginning. The following are my thoughts: From the time the cops pulled them over (the police are supposed to separate the couple so they aren't within sight of each other) and at first they tried to with Brian but he talked them into sitting on the curb instead while he still was within visual sight of Gabby, and more importantly she could see him-and be reminded of his power and control over her during the entire questioning. Not to mention the 3 male cops swallowing hook, line and sinker all of Brain's lies to the point that they believed he was the victim and they came close to charging Gabby with domestic violence! In the end Brian got an air conditioned hotel room for the night and Gabby was made to spend the night in the van. What should have happened was that the police were better trained in recognizing domestic violence, seen through Brian's postering and lying and a female police officer should have offered Gabby some clear advice and a safe place to stay that night that would have included some domestic violence counseling-just the very beginning like Does your partner ever do this? Does he make you feel like this? Some yes or no questions that might have opened her eyes to the fact that the relationship she was in was dangerous, and if she didn't leave him very soon it might be too late. Then let her make up her mind that night. The female ranger did try but just telling someone they are in a toxic relationship when they are in that deep doesn't work. They aren't ready to hear it. And the entire time Brian was looking at her reminding her "watch what you say". I don't think CNN was worried about John Walsh getting into legal trouble. I think CNN was worried they were going to get sued. Over and over again the host on CNN interrupted John to say," CNN is not saying this, these are John Walsh's thoughts" or something like that. John Walsh also said he thought the reserve where the parent's said they'd dropped Brain off to do some hiking was a red herring. I think he's frustrated that the police have wasted so much time searching that reserve (my thoughts) just on the words of the parents who he says he believes have lied and abetted Brain from the beginning. He said Brain will be found by the help of the public, not by the police. That the public have helped find many criminals in the past and they will again in this case. Then he quoted how many criminals have been found and charged through the efforts of his shows through the years-I forget the amount but it was in the thousands. I very much admire John Walsh. |

I agree too-I never thought Brian was in that swamp. As to the funding I read on websleuths.com that both Brian and Gabby had jobs at Publix and they saved their money for the trip. |

Just remembered something else John Walsh said last night on CNN. He said that Gabby was killed in a death penalty state. That means if Brian is ever found, charged and goes to trial for Gabby's death hopefully he'll be facing the death penalty.
Maybe that's why (my theory) his parents have aided and abetted him to escape and stay hidden and he has made the choices he has to escape and hide instead of turning himself in.

I’m not defending Brian; I figure he killed Gabby by accident when in a fight or on purpose when in a rage. |

I'll have to go back and rewatch that video again. I could be completely wrong. Went back and watched the video-you are right and I was wrong. The police did ask Brian to sit on that curb. That was a mistake on their part and another reason they need more domestic abuse training. Having one partner in a relationship within sight of the other partner is a big no-no in these situations for the reasons I stated above. |

Couldn’t agree more, Debbie.
And ultimately it doesn’t matter who suggested it. I’d just read an article about on-line sleuthing that made me think about facts and that reminded me of it. It’s really not similar at all, so kind of silly my mind went there. It was about a couple whose little boy died. His grandmother was taking care of him that day, apparently looked away momentarily and he likely fell into a treacherous river.
There were search parties of course, and on line facts became opinions and theories, and so-called seers weighed in with what they knew (though they didn’t) and years’ old comments the couple posted dredged up, and to make a long story short the couple was blamed for witchcraft, evil, his death. Like I said, no resemblance other than sad and depressing.

I took a break from the board and realize I'm focusing too much on this case today. I'm going to take a break and go watch Naked and Afraid XL on Discovery+ channel I just subscribed to, and
give all of this a break from my mind for tonight.
Will be back for more discussion tomorrow. Have a great night everyone.

I don't usually read these type of threads, because they trigger my post traumtic stress related to my own marriage abuse.
I've just read a few of the pages, just to get the pea consensus.
My thoughts are.....
He has never been in the swamp area.
His Parents have assisted in his hiding.
I think they likely drove him in the opposite direction, and he is likely deep in the mountain wilderness/woods, perhaps north in a southern state mountain areas.
I read a lot (as well as watch movies), based on a somewhat recent read "28 summers" based on the "same time, next year", if he is not found in the forseeable future, then I think his Parents need to watched/undr surveillance in the long term future. My guess is they made an untraceable verbal pact, every 3? 6? 12? months rendevous at a specific location (waterfall, tree alongside mountain tree, underneath a bridge by the river, etc...) so his Parents could give him money, supplies, check in, etc...
Since everything (calls, internet, bank accounts, credit cards, etc...) can be traced. His Parents could have given him any petty cash they had on hand as well as a duffle bag full of food and a pan, utensils, plate, etc....he could easily hide out for a few months while his appearance slowly alters (longer hair, unkempt beard) with a mask, sunglasses, hat, he could easily slip into a smaller type store to replenish his supplies.
I hope that he is found. I hope that if his Parents are involved in his hiding, that they are prosecuted for that.
I know from experience, that it is so hard to detach from a menacing abuser. The verbal abuse, and the emotional and mental mind games, are damaging and detrimental to the victims psyche. Especially when the abuser makes the victim believe that everything is the victims fault.
May Miss Petito rest in peace, and her Family find comfort in their memories of her.
May her abuser and those who have assisted in his hiding rot in eternal hell.

There is no way Brian is in that swamp. None. His family most likely took him in the other direction, as fast as they could. If he is close to home, he is on some island that he took a boat to. There are many Caribbean islands that dont look at your passport when coming in. The US will look when you are trying to come back, but getting into another island country is very easy and with a mask, no one would know who you are.

He changed countless lives with his work to bring justice for victims to the forefront. He is a hero. |

Several years ago my husband was playing in his basketball league and he got elbowed on the cheekbone. He had a black eye and his face was really swollen. I took him to the ER. They asked him a series of questions right in front of me. One of the questions was whether I hit him and if he was afraid of me. They kind of laughed when asking that. They should have asked me to leave the room and not laughed about it. What if someone was being abused by their husband or wife, how can they answer truthfully when the spouse is right there and if they think they are not going to be taken seriously? What you said about domestic abuse training reminded me of this situation in the ER. |

I tripped in my office/craft room and slammed my face into a drawer unit - though I didn’t know that’s what happened since I apparently blacked out for a moment. I was on the floor bleeding badly around my eye, and my leg hurt like crazy. My husband took me to the ER and with him standing next to me a nurse asked how it happened. I looked at my husband for the answer. He’d seen blood on the corner of the furniture so explained what he thought happened. The questions shifted after he responded instead of me, and I realized she was getting out whether he had hit me. But he was standing next to me when she asked. Absurd. |

I'll have to go back and rewatch that video again. I could be completely wrong. I’ve watched the body cam video (on NBC YouTube is the best, IMO) a couple of times. The cop tells Brian to sit on the curb, then Brian tries to get him to let him move "to the shade, because I’m bald" and the cop tells him to stay put, he’ll give him shade, and stands in front of him.
Edit: ugh, just saw your update but I won’t dirty delete. The rest of my list may interest you or others,too Websleuths is great. They have good YT videos. Reddit also has a really active r/GabbyPetito subreddit. If you’re interested, some good YT channels covering the case are Michelle after Dark, Chasing Truth, Duty Ron, and Tiffany Marie. There are other good ones, too, but I tend to keep up with these. IMO, Brian is on the run, probably with the help of his parents.I also think he’ll make a mistake and get caught. |

Thank you for the suggestions of other channels covering the case. After yesterday I think I'm going to take a step away from it ( websleuths) and take a break from it for awhile. I was getting in too deep. It wasn't triggering anything for me and it was causing any stress, but I was spending hours and hours reading about it on websleuths day after day and I need to get back to my life. At this point I think it's better for me. I don't want it to get to the point where it starts causing stress and triggering migraines. I still want to discuss it with all of you of course though-I just don't want to be on websleuths for hours every day like I was. But I do want to thank you for the suggestions. |

Has anyone seen the TT videos saying Brian accidentally did a 'live' video insta that showed large amounts of water? I think his parents are 1000% involved. If they withdrew large amounts of cash, they Feds already know it. I think his parents are lying about what they know, where he is, and most likely about when he *actaully* left. Also? Did you see where Gabbys family threatened to sue Brians attorney for using her photo on his Yelp page for advertisement? How low of a scum bag are you to do that? He IS a scumbag. He's a lousy LI attorney that is right across the street from my sister's lawfirm. I dealt with him while working at my (now ex)husband's lawfirm, and I THINK I might have worked for him years ago for a few days (I usually quit right away if I got a weirdo feeling from them). Ick. |

I don't usually read these type of threads, because they trigger my post traumtic stress related to my own marriage abuse. I've just read a few of the pages, just to get the pea consensus. My thoughts are..... He has never been in the swamp area. His Parents have assisted in his hiding. I think they likely drove him in the opposite direction, and he is likely deep in the mountain wilderness/woods, perhaps north in a southern state mountain areas. I read a lot (as well as watch movies), based on a somewhat recent read "28 summers" based on the "same time, next year", if he is not found in the forseeable future, then I think his Parents need to watched/undr surveillance in the long term future. My guess is they made an untraceable verbal pact, every 3? 6? 12? months rendevous at a specific location (waterfall, tree alongside mountain tree, underneath a bridge by the river, etc...) so his Parents could give him money, supplies, check in, etc... Since everything (calls, internet, bank accounts, credit cards, etc...) can be traced. His Parents could have given him any petty cash they had on hand as well as a duffle bag full of food and a pan, utensils, plate, etc....he could easily hide out for a few months while his appearance slowly alters (longer hair, unkempt beard) with a mask, sunglasses, hat, he could easily slip into a smaller type store to replenish his supplies. I hope that he is found. I hope that if his Parents are involved in his hiding, that they are prosecuted for that. I know from experience, that it is so hard to detach from a menacing abuser. The verbal abuse, and the emotional and mental mind games, are damaging and detrimental to the victims psyche. Especially when the abuser makes the victim believe that everything is the victims fault. May Miss Petito rest in peace, and her Family find comfort in their memories of her. May her abuser and those who have assisted in his hiding rot in eternal hell. First of all I'm very sorry that you had to go through that abuse. My heart goes out to you. I love your insight and theories. They make a lot of sense. You are so correct. It is extremely hard to seperate from an abuser. This is something that the outside world finds so very difficult to understand. Before it happened to me I too couldn't understand, "Why don't these women just leave?" When you are inside that cycle of abuse it is like you are being brainwashed. It is like being in a cult. For years you are told you are nothing. No one loves you but the abuser. You can't do anything right. You said it so much better than I could. Gabby was trying to make a success of her blog. On the video during the police stop I could hear Brian demeaning her work to the police and I could hear Gabby apologizing over and over to the police for every little thing-it's very telling. I think Brian wanted her attention on him (which is typical) and he resented the time the blog took away from him and the fact that it might be a success-again typical. I love your last two sentences. |

Thank you for this. I was so invested in seeing this. I'm sure I'll catch it eventually. In the meantime by subscribing to the channel I found out I can watch all of the Naked and Afraid XL seasons (I'm a big fan of Naked and Afraid) so I've been binging on rewatching these to get my mind off this case. Finished up season 4 already and am halfway through season 1 now. |

As far as Brian's appearance, something rang out to me. Remember when he showed the cops his driver's license and he said, "This doesn't look like me, but it's me, I swear" (or something akin to that gyst)  Weird to say that ahead of time.
Another thing is that during the same episode, he insisted that only Gabby has a cellphone and he uses hers. Then she asks the cops to tell him to remember to bring his charger to his phone. Hmm.......
I saw the camper in the parent's driveway. Did the cops thoroughly look through it??? The parents seem slimy. I have a feeling that they helped with Brian's disappearance and/or he never did come back to FL. We're going just on 1 neighbor's verification of seeing Brian mow the lawn, post 9/1??

"The boyfriend of Gabby Petito, whose body was found at a national park in Wyoming after a cross-country trip with him, was charged with unauthorized use of a debit card as searchers continued looking for him Thursday in Florida swampland. A federal grand jury indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Wyoming alleges Brian Laundrie used a Capital One Bank card and someone's personal identification number to make unauthorized withdrawals or charges worth more than $1,000 during the period in which Petito went missing. It does not say who the card belonged to. FBI spokeswoman Courtney Bernal declined to reveal the nature of the charges made to the debit card." news.yahoo.com/slain-woman-gabby-petitos-boyfriend-221914765.htmlSo I'm guessing it was her bank card he was using. Disgusting. Could be --- or it could be her parents card that she was a signer on. Either way, he didn't have permission and he's a scumbag. |

Regarding the officer-that's not how I remember it. I remember them starting to direct Brian to another area and Brian asking, "do you mind it I just sit right here?" or something like that as he proceeded to sit on the curb. I'll have to go back and rewatch that video again. I could be completely wrong. Went back and watched the video-you are right and I was wrong. The police did ask Brian to sit on that curb. That was a mistake on their part and another reason they need more domestic abuse training. Having one partner in a relationship within sight of the other partner is a big no-no in these situations for the reasons I stated above. Several years ago my husband was playing in his basketball league and he got elbowed on the cheekbone. He had a black eye and his face was really swollen. I took him to the ER. They asked him a series of questions right in front of me. One of the questions was whether I hit him and if he was afraid of me. They kind of laughed when asking that. They should have asked me to leave the room and not laughed about it. What if someone was being abused by their husband or wife, how can they answer truthfully when the spouse is right there and if they think they are not going to be taken seriously? What you said about domestic abuse training reminded me of this situation in the ER. DH had quite a few incidents where he'd be bleeding profusely or injured, and I'd take him to the ER. They did ask him those questions, but made me step out of the room. (Same thing when I was ever injured). At least they are trained to ask about abuse here, but hey, it's FL, so............. |
