Just regarding the Instagram stuff, I'll answer it here so we don't have any speculation.


Gabby's Instagram has limited the comments, this is likely to be Instagrams doing to stop the profile from being flooded.


The people who Brian follows has also been decreasing over the past few days, this is also likely to be folks blocking him and not him unfollowing people.

I was watching a stream when it started.

About a dozen FBI went in with lots of equipment.
The parents I believe were removed from the house and are in the SUV/minvan(?) in the front yard.
FBI telling people to remove themselves from the yard as it is a crime scene.

    Is Brian still on the lam or has he been tracked down?
    Last I heard he was still "missing"

    edit: Ah, I see the edit. He's still out there. This whole situation is just fucked.

    I'm just mad that some cops weren't told to monitor this dude 24/7 for the next week or 2. I mean if he wasn't guilty, they could call it off and after nothing was found. But mere days later the body is found and the parents had the audacity to say "he is missing". Like Jesus man. How could they live with Gabby for more than a year and act like she wasn't a human‽

    Anyways cops dropped the ball hard on BL. I can't believe anyone could turn the other cheeck and pretend he was innocent. How about wait until all search is exhausted to come to that conclusion? Being under surveillance is not that he is guilty but his actions could lead to finding Gabby.

    Is the only reason the authorities have finally got a warrant to enter that house, because a body was found (thus a confirmed victim of a crime), or is it likely FBI have obtained more compelling evidence aside from the body, allowing them to proceed as they have today?

    That lawyer can do very little at this point. They are going to need to hire a criminal defense attorney that can defend a case against the federal courts.

    I'm assuming it is just that the body was found yesterday. So there is officially a crime and the FBI went to a judge for a warrant to search the last known location of Brian. It was granted. And the FBI went in to search today.

    The expected next step in what is essentially a homicide investigation, just like expect authorities to find evidence Brian's shit heel parents have been complicit in his slip from the cops.

    Trash family save for the sister deserves every worst thing imaginable thrown their way.

    repost from the previous thread, now with news media picks up :
    on August 27 6~6:30 p.m, YouTubers Jenn And Kyle Bethune Spot And Record The Van Parked At The Side Of The Road
    This maybe the video help authority locate the Gabby


    Some uneasy details were uncovered from the videos:

    1    .Close-ups of footage said to show Gabby Petito's van near where a body was found appear to show the rear door closing
    www.insider.com

    Close-ups of footage said to show Gabby Petito's van near where a body was found appear to show the rear door closing

    A YouTubing family said it caught footage of Petito's van unoccupied. Zoomed in, the footage suggests the rear door closed as the family approached.
    www.insider.com www.insider.com


    On 1:35 mark you could clearly see the van's back door is open
    Someone was closing the back door as the car approaches


    2. you could see her flip-flops and cell-phone on the back side of van. Yesterday, Gabby's body was found in nearby location by FBI.


    8:00 - you see the van as they've driving pass the vehicle, Brian's hat is on the driver seat(the dash cam is facing the drivers face).

    I'm not up to date, but if Brian's laywer knows where he is, I wonder if confidentiality still comes in play or not if it aids in something criminal

    On 1:35 mark you could clearly see the van's back door is open

    They need to get their phone records. I'm sure they've been in contact with him since he went "missing."

    How clueless are these cops down there
    On Wednesday, the family went out to look for Laundrie and found his vehicle near the Carlton Reserve. The car had a note from the North Port Police Department saying that it needed to be removed.

    Bertolino said the family left the car there so Laundrie would be able to drive back when he returned. When he still didn't come home on Thursday, the family went back to retrieve the car themselves.

    Because the threads keep getting locked because people keep de-railing them. Mods keep saying don't make another thread until more news breaks and news keeps breaking.

    i wish mods could just thread ban everyone derailing so it can just be one thread but I get it. It's a lot of work.

    as far as missing white girl syndrome. It's part of it but she is also a YouTube person as well as the circumstance that the person of interest just….vanished. So that's always going to raise interest.

    Lots of white women go missing every single day that you know nothing about. This story has far more factors contributing to the interest. Past threads will clue you in.

    As someone out of the loop, why is this getting so much attention? Because the victim and perpetrator are young, white, and attractive? Any murder is a tragedy, but few get this amount of attention.

    edit: I missed Thorn asked same question. Nevermind then.

    Partially but also because the nature of the case. Even before this people had gone missing or were found dead after hikes.

    not to mention these people were documenting their trip.

    There is some truth absolutely to her being white, young, attractive. However, she was also a vlogger with a decent amount of followers and the odd circumstances and the boyfriend's return definitely made this case a lot more prominent. I think there's also a lot of cultural crossover with the location and people imagining that being a possibility when you visit those places. It's kind of a spooky story that validates a lot of feelings of remote places when you go to those locations.
