I'm just now watching the body cam video. And now my opinions are changing. Yes, it's often the husband/fiance/boyriend in these cases. BUT I now feel much more inclined to give him some grace. My gut says he didn't hurt her, certainly not deliberately. But I also feel he may have left her/they separated by agreement and she ended up in a bad situation (self harm, other people, nature, I don't know). And since he knows how she is, he should have notified her family at the very least. And he needs to talk to the police. Sure have his lawyer there, but talk to them dangit!
Of course, I could be way off. She does seem very high strung and well, young. If he's also a very anxious person and neither take medication, that's just not a good combo.

Agree that she sounds like the erratic one - and I’m leaning toward thinking she ran off, or hurt herself or even a real life Gone Girl situation - but I could also see him reacting in anger and shoving her back or something.

I think it’s unlikely she is still alive BUT it does seem like she was going through something and it also sounds like she was being physically abusive to him. Playing devil’s advocate here— If I was on a road trip with some guy who was putting his hands on me, l can’t say it would be out of the realm of the possibility that I would be like WTAF and ditch him. Yeah, not a nice thing to do but if someone is trying to smack me in the face while I am driving, I’m not really going to feel especially obliging to the person, you know? However, I do think it is very likely he did something to her. It is possible abuse went both ways in that situation. If she was having some kind of mental health crisis, why wouldn’t he reach out to her family or friends? I don’t know what to think with this case. Yeah, if he laid his hands in me there would definitely be issues; but if I knew it was due to his mental health struggles, I’d still call his mom to make sure he was taken care of. I dunno, I’m sure my view is colored by the fact that I’ve lost the plot myself and afterwards he just hugged me and made sure I got the help I needed. There is no way either of us would abandon the other in the middle of a mental health crisis, no matter the circumstances. If it got to the point where one of us was in jail…we’d still make sure there was a parent to take over their care. But again, I know my experience doesn’t equal someone else’s…I just can’t fathom it (abandoning them alone across the country) myself. And even if he did purposefully abandon her and not check on her it could just be that he’s an asshole, not a murderer. But it sure looks bad, and since history shows it’s the usually the lover, that’s where my mind takes me. I’m not on top of the case just reading a little here and there, had no idea they were no longer engaged. I’d say that makes the Instagram comments really weird but we know how performative those can be… *************************************** I know I read something about her having anxiety but maybe she was having a first time mental health issue like mania on the trip. I know some mental illnesses start when people are in their teens or twenties. If he doesn't have a family member or close friend with mental health issues, he might not have had any clue what was going on. And at age 22, I don't know if he'd have the insight to handle the situation correctly. I know I said and did plenty of dumb stuff at that age and even when I was older than that! I definitely think at the age I am at now, I would be able to handle said situation with more maturity and grace than I would have at that age. I hope her family gets some answers on what happened. |

He is living with his parents not terribly far from me in Florida and it's all over the news. He refused to come to the door this morning when the Police were there. His parents said he was "Unavailable". If you're innocent, why aren't you out looking for her? Assisting her parents or the police? Why do you already have a lawyer. He's apparently had the lawyer for a few days now. Exactly.  Its all way too fishy. I also come from LI and I saw that many people shared her father's plea for any info. I'd suspect that bf pretty strongly. Nothing is adding up. The bf's parents don't live that far from me. Ugh |

Posted by the North Port Police Department:
The national search into the disappearance of Gabrielle Petito of North Port continues. Due to the parties in this case residing in North Port, Florida, the North Port Police Department will be the primary investigating agency, in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigations. We will also continue to work with the Suffolk County Police Department, and we are thankful for their assistance.
Several detectives are working around the clock to piece this complex and far-reaching situation together. Gabrielle’s vehicle was recovered here in North Port at her home on September 11th. A home shared with her boyfriend Brian Laundrie and his parents. That vehicle was fully processed for evidence along with FBI agents Tuesday evening. As of now, Brian has not made himself available to be interviewed by investigators or has provided any helpful details. We know Brian returned here to North Port on September 1st — ten days before her family reported her missing on September 11th. We have no information that a crime occurred here in North Port. Brian Laundrie is a person of interest in this case.
“As a father, I can imagine the pain and suffering Gabby’s family is going through. We are pleading with anyone, including Brian, to share information with us on her whereabouts in the past few weeks. The lack of information from Brian is hindering this investigation. The answers will eventually come out. We will help find Gabby and we will help find anyone who may be involved in her disappearance," says North Port Police Chief Todd Garrison.
The FBI has set up a national hotline to receive tips. 1-800-CALLFBI (225-5324). That is now our primary tip line. So far, we have received hundreds of tips which are being vetted through multiple agencies. If anyone has seen the van photographed and information which might be helpful, please let us know.
According to family, they were last in contact with Gabrielle during the last week of August. Prior to the last communication, Gabrielle is believed to have been in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Petito and Brian were traveling in a white 2012 Ford Transit van with Florida license plate QFTG03. Gabrielle, 22, is white, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and 110 pounds. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and several tattoos, including one on her finger and one on her forearm that reads “let it be.”
The North Port Police Department continues to work with the media to spread the word. We have conducted interviews with all major television networks and roughly 60 media outlets in the past 48 hours.
The first place we will post all info will be on our social media platforms. @northportpd on Facebook and at @northportpolice on Twitter. You may also want to follow Chief Garrison on Twitter @nppdpolicechief

Just thought of something. In the footage he said they were on their way to get water as they had run out. He refused a bottled water because he doesn't drink out of plastic. Gabby happily took the water. They are in the desert, it's August and super hot. I wonder how long they were out of water? Was she dehydrated? I assume the van had A/C but what if he didn't like to use it? Being hot and dehydrated may have made her anxiety etc even worse and perhaps contributed to the stress.

I could be wrong but I believe they were stopped after leaving a coffee shop where he states they had been from like 9:00-3:00. It seems they had been at the coffee shop for several hours. |

I somehow fell onto this side of TikTok last night with several armchair detectives posting their thoughts. Just in case you want to search over there.
I hope her family gets answers one way or another.

Or they could have had a fight and he lost it (doesn’t mean she wasn’t also violent). But I agree with everyone else—why isn’t he at least giving some kind of story? |

Laundrie told the police that both HE and Petito suffered from severe anxiety, but didn’t take medication for it. It sounds like he did know, to some degree, what was going on and admitted to being aware of his own mental illness. I did my fair share of traveling around the country at that age in a Volkswagen bus. There is no way I would have left a friend/boyfriend/fiancé/any-of-the-above thousands of miles from home and not talked to anyone about it. And that was long before cell phones existed. Nowadays, I simply have a hard time imagine just driving off and leaving someone without contacting someone - even a friend of hers, if not her parents - to let them know where she was. And that she hasn’t contacted her parents via cell phone or text is what is most concerning to me regarding whether she is alive or not. Whether or not he actually harmed her with his own hands, he is now complicit in her disappearance by driving off with her van, leaving her somewhere, and not speaking with the police. |

ETA I did read this morning his sister broke the family's silence, but it wasn't anything Earth-shattering. She just said she wants her to come home. "Obviously me and my family want Gabby to be found safe," Laundrie said. "She's like a sister and my children love her, and all I want is for her to come home safe and found and this to be just a big misunderstanding." |

@gina : Just found out this morning that she IS a relative of a high school friend of mine. No wonder he's been posting the info daily on his FB page.
Did I hear Brian say (on the cop footage) that he came from Queens and knew Gabby from high school? I wonder when they both moved down to FL in with his parents.

Just listened to a girl on tiktok claiming that she and her boyfriend picked up Brian Laundrie, wearing a backpack, long sleeves, hiking pants, asking for a ride 10 miles down the road and offered to pay them $200 for the ride. She claims they picked him up at Coulter Bay in Grand Tetons National Park on August 29 at 5:30pm. He wanted a ride to "Jackson" and as they talked awhile, mentioning that he had been camping multiple days without his fiance while she was working on her social media at her van. She claims he suddenly asked to be let out before they reached Jackson at 6:09pm. she says she has given the tip to authorities and has several videos with maps, more details. Her name on tiktok is @mirandabaker_
So weird to live in time where there are so many tips and theories are appearing through social media, like when CNN first became a thing with round the clock news, only way more so these days.

Maybe he is saying “hey, we broke up and I drove home and she said she’d find another way” and the cops just don’t believe him, because, statistically, it’s always the boyfriend. |

The problem with this is that it wasn't his van to drive back to Florida. And we know he has exercised his 5th amendment right, so he's not saying anything. This subreddit is full of information. Sounds like he was trying to establish an alibi by hitchhiking, and offering $200 for a 10 mile ride. The woman who has posted her account of this cleared it with the police before posting her story, and has been cooperating with the FBI. Looks worse and worse for Brian. Gabby Petito subreddit

He just needs to man up and tell what happened. I don’t care if she was a volatile one or not. He knows where she is or at least knows where the last place was he saw her.

Police have entered the Laundrie house: This makes it sound like a stand off and forced entry.  They were expected, knocked on the door and were let in by the his parents who agreed to be interviewed. ETA The Grand County Sheriff put out a statement that there is no connection between Gabby/Brian and the two murdered women. |

It does? I think you're reading a bit much into my tone. I simply stated they had entered the home which is what happened, and provided a link. Please don't add drama to an already terrible situation. Thank you. In other thoughts, I hope they locate Brian alive. |

I don't understand how he can simply not talk to the police when a young women is missing and he was the last one with her. That’s what I think too. If it was something innocent - they had a fight and she took off, throwing the keys at him and telling him to F off or similar- why wouldn’t he tell the police his story. His not speaking speaks volumes to me. I’m not defending him in the slightest because I don’t know anything about this case, but not talking to the police is smart thing for someone in a situation like this. Innocent people get charged and sometimes convicted because they tell their side of the story and it’s twisted and used against them. If I were in a situation like this, I wouldn’t talk to the police worth, to protect myself. |

I can see the scenario you’re saying Gennifer, save for 2 things. Her mental illness/breakdown and the fact that they were across the country from her home. Would her ex have left her, with her transportation, and not checked to make sure she made it home? Wouldn’t she want the vehicle when she got home? I try and remind myself that everyone’s life experience is different, I’m just having a hard time and can not fathom a partner leaving the other without transportation, across the country from their home, in a state of emergency with their mental health. Has there been anything stating if her mom left voicemail messages for him? They’re not married. They’re dating and in their 20s. Ugly breaks ups can and do happen and people are just DONE. Mental health issues or not, they can’t spend another minute together and literally just don’t care anymore. |

Maybe this guy is a murderer, maybe just a careless asshole. But what I do know is there is NOTHING he can do that’s “right.” He’s guilty because he’s not talking to the police or searching for her. If he were making public statements or searching for her, his words or body language or actions wouldn’t be “right” and he’d be guilty. So please don’t fool yourself into thinking that if he weren’t hiding out, you might not think he’d guilty.

Its all way too fishy.
