missing Gabby Petito from Wyoming, traveled in van with bf

I heard something on Tik Tok (so take that with a grain of salt) that Brian was being followed before he left. Does anyone know if this is true? Im too lazy to google. If they had him under surveillance, how the heck did he get away?

I don't think they'd spend so much money and resources looking if they had any idea. But who knows.

I read it somewhere last week that he was under surveillance but I can’t remember where I read it at. I usually only read news from CNN but occasionally open up an interesting headline I see on yahoo which comes from multiple different websites.

The coroner’s report (up on Reddit r/GabbyPetito) says “death by manual strangulation/throttling,” which means no ligature. I didn’t know that “throttling” meant manual strangulation- had to look it up.

I’m not surprised, but I am so sad about this. I hope they find him soon. Azz.

I agree. They have to live with their decision for the rest of their lives (assuming they did help him disappear) and that may become harder as time goes on I would think.

Yes if you have a conscious. And a heart like most people. But I'm still convinced that the parents are malignant narcissists themselves. 

Yes accessory is specifically if you help after the fact while aiding and abetting requires you to provide assistance before the crime and typically the punishment for accessory is less than aiding and abetting where you can actually receive the same sentence as for committing the crime. 

I don't know why they haven't been charged - I'm actually not sure which jurisdiction it would be - Wyoming I guess as that's where the actual crime was committed.  Accessory for a felony where the individual is a relative is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months and/or $750.  Maybe they believe it's better to have their cooperation?!?  FYI Wyoming's statute on accessory after the fact:




 

Justice rarely works as quickly as we'd like it to. It's very possible his parents eventually WILL be charged. This case really is only a month(ish) old.

Thank you!

I posted this earlier in the thread....
I still think his Parents need to be watched and followed into current and long term future.
They helped him go into hiding.
They likely made a rendezvous plan for the future. Meet somewhere, probably deeper in the woods, by a specific rock or tree, off a hiking trail, so they can give him or bury >> money, throw away type phone to call their throw away phone, supplies, etc...

I think he is currently deep in the mountains-woods hiding, living off the grid. Growing his hair, growing a bushy beard, changing his appearance so he can eventually go into a store undetected for supplies, with the cash that his Parents likely gave him.

I've watched movies and read books, with this type of scenario happening.

Have you seen the video of the dad weed eating around her memorial in their yard and appears that he is maintaining it and keeping it up. A lot of people speculating that he will be the one to crack and that the mom is the mastermind keeping Brian in hiding.

I am starting to forget everything I have read but I believe someone that was camping at the campground where his parents stayed at in the beginning of September have pictures where he (and his parents) are in them.

People have disputes; it appears none of the couple's violatility was recorded or confirmed (just like the parents' neighbors, eyewitnesses aren't reliable). None of us know the couple or the dynamics of their relationship. The UT police assessed the situation after spending an hour with them. While seated in the back of the police car, she spoke with her mom on the phone & was subsequently given possession of the van for the night (which she told them she didn't like to drive). It appears the only known person to express concern about their relationship during this incident was the female Arches National Park Ranger.

The fiance used accounts (the federal warrant doesn't specify the owner(s), but her family claimed in an interview they were in her name) & drove the van (registered in her name) home like always since they lived together & supposedly shared assets. Authorities quickly established that he returned to FL alone in the van on 9/1 due to traffic cameras & GPS from the van impounded on 9/11. Given a federal warrant for his arrest was issued on 9/22 (five days after he was reported missing on 9/17 & nine days after he was allegedly last seen on 9/13) for "use of unauthorized access devices...which affected interstate commerce," evidence must exist that he accessed a Capital One debit card & two Capital One bank accounts to obtain $1K+ on 8/30 & 9/1 in several states (e.g. ATM cameras) which confirms he made that cross country trip. 

According to the police spokesperson, he's never been questioned by the authorities regarding her disappearance; rather, local police were referred to the family's attorney. It's my understanding that it wasn't until a "public service incident" involving her dad at his parents' address (details are unknown since the report is heavily redacted) on 9/10 (the day before her mom reported her missing, two days after his family returned from camping, & nine days after he came home solo in the van) that his family hired an attorney, who not surprisingly advised his clients to remain silent. If it was planned that he return home for his family's Labor Day camping trip, since she reportedly scheduled to meet & spend a few days with a friend on 8/29 to celebrate the friend's birthday in Yellowstone which is notorious for poor cell service, it likely didn't seem odd to his family (especially since he'd come home solo earlier in the trip) & he may not have realized she was missing until now. Likewise, it's possible he's actually missing. How far & long can even an experienced recreational hiker, used to sleeping in a van or hotel & eating in restaurants, last as a survivalist living completely off the land & fugitive being hunted by the FBI & other agencies? 

Why do you assume his parents are so heavily involved in her murder &/or have the means & connections for him to escape or navigate a foreign country as a fugitive OR suspect that he may be a serial killer!?! 

I don't assume that "he's not (yet) guilty." People in this country are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Given about half of homicides with a female victim are committed by partners, & manual strangulation is considered personal, the likely suspect is the fiance. The police report of a "public service incident" involving her dad at his parents' house on 9/10 is heavily redacted, so we have no idea what transpired & allegedly prompted the family to hire an attorney (or the dynamics of the various relationships - between his & her parents, the fiance & each of her parents, etc. - prior to this date). Him/his family exercising their right to have an attorney &/or follow his advice to remain silent does not equate to guilt.

IMHO LE & ME have not merely report facts. For example, the ME stated in the official press conference that her death was "involved with domestic violence," which the FBI has not officially concluded, then later admitted in an interview that it was speculation. These things will only help the defense, should he be found alive, charged, & tried for her murder. It seems any case brought against him without a confession would be challenging as is, considering the time of death could not be pinpointed, his DNA would be expected on her body since they lived together, etc.

Also, I don't assume his parents did or "didn't help him" since the public has no idea if he's actually on the run. Authorities incurring millions to search the preserve/park for a month suggests they believe he's there & appear to be targeting areas previously uninhabitable for recovery (perhaps since experts opine he likely wouldn't survive this long). Unlike others, I recognize the possibility he both told his parents that he was going to the preserve & actually went on a hike, but got injured, killed due to a fall/wildlife/etc, or a community watchman, like Zimmerman, decided to be judge, jury, & executioner. Given the public only knows basics about his parents, I wonder what makes @bergdorfblonde  & others assume they are criminal masterminds whose 23 yo son is a serial killer!

I hope the person responsible for her death is found & convicted as well as the other ~20K active missing person cases are solved.
