Gabby Petito Case

Shouldn't the parents be arrested for aiding an abetting? They helped him get away. I guess there's no proof that they knew anything, but refusing to talk at first to authorities is a huge clue.

Refusing to talk to the authorities is probably not illegal. But helping him escape might have been...

You know their son will stay in touch with his parents since he went home to mommy and daddy, right? So I hope the phones are bugged.
It's probably obvious I don't watch crime movies.

He wasn't guilty of anything and still isn't except unauthorized use of a debit card which only means they have a pretty exact date of death but there is really nothing else to connect him, physically, to this homicide. If they had physical evidence connecting him to Gabby's slaying the arrest warrant would have been for murder.

It's not going to help their case that the coroner who performed the autopsy is not a forensic pathologist. In WY the coroner is appointed. He is a GP. That's all. And they can't transfer the case to another state with the experts they need because the crime was committed in WY.

Also there were two tarps at the crime scene which would indicate scatter. Not to be indelicate, she was not all in one piece. and was found behind a log which is something predatory felines like bobcats and mountain lions will do when they cannot drag a body all the way to their lair, so there was most likely animal activity as well. Who knows what really happened here? We're conjecturing which is not good in a capitol crime.
 
Today there were two people with bullhorns parading back and forth in front of the Laundrie home. One was a lady and one was a man.

They were demanding that the Laundries come forth with information about their son, over and over and over. I didn't think this was right. There are other neighbors there and they were really loud and obnoxious.

I agree here ..... Plus, even though I'm not a parent ...... I fully understand a parent protecting their child. Turning them in, knowing what they are going to face , would be {IMO} very hard to do.

I agree, Rose. This is very disrespectful of others in that neighborhood, besides being annoying and obnoxious.

With all the media coverage it's not surprising, but I agree. This is in very poor taste. There are other innocent people suffering for it through no fault of their own. :(
 
The parents of Brian Laundrie have released a furious statement regarding the whereabouts of their son, just hours after the FBI visited their home to request personal items they could test and match for DNA.

In a statement released by the family’s lawyer, Steven Bertolino, Roberta and Christopher Laundrie said “speculation” they assisted their son in any way to leave the family home or avoid arrest was “just wrong”.

“Chris and Roberta Laundrie do not know where Brian is,” the statement read.

I don't think the credit card thing is what they care about, just using it to charge him with something now.

Correct. A person can't be arrested on "Suspicion". If the credit card charge/warrant was not active, it's my bet they could have arrested him under the Federal Material Witness statute.

From what I understand, according to a legal analyst I saw on the news...it's not considered a crime to harbor a fugitive who hasn't been charged with a crime. Laundrie was (likely) long gone before they finally issued an arrest warrant. If he's smart, he won't try to contact his parents or at least won't let them know where he is. @Alligatorob

I think this case is going to go cold. I may be the only one who thinks so. It will be like the Delphi murders, so promising at first, but never solved. I think he's out of the country and is being assisted by someone, not his parents.

Of course LE could find him in the next 10 minutes just to make me look ridiculous but I don't think so.

I wondered about this also, so I checked with a friend of mine working at DHS and she told me that when a U.S. citizen leaves the country or enters another country, their passport is electronically scanned and put into a selective database.

It is possible that this piece of human waste was able to receive another set of felonious personal documents, which sells on the black market for around $100,000, but if detected by immigration or CBP agents, he would be immediately arrested. It may be a chance he was willing to take.
 
The reason this is on national news according to the FBI here is they want to "find" the boyfriend. So they are asking if anyone has seen him in their area.

Our local news shows & talks about all the shootings in Indianapolis every weekend. Usually around 10. All by "kids" ages around 12 to 16 shooting a person that they don't like.

Also, there have been around 18 young girls abducted here in Indiana this year. So the FBI is putting their info on all TV & papers to see if they can be found. So far 10 have been found in a sex ring in Calafornia.

Yes, I know about crossing the border legally but being an outdoorsman, he could have crossed illegally. It would be difficult, but not impossible. Of course he would never use a passport to cross.

Satellites, although not yet able to detect faces, can be used to detect if there is a possibility of a human in the areas like mountains, swamps and the like. Outlines of humans can be detected through satellite imagery. The military has been using satellites for years now to follow troop movements and other reconnaissance. Drones are also used to save manpower and are a good tool for surveillance. Drones can go wear men prefer not to. Like most things today, in some situations, I am not sure, but I would venture to say that the police may need a warrant to search using satellite technology.
There are well over 5000 satellites orbiting the earth. Not all of these satellites have this ability.

I found your comment about Drones could be used to find this guy, so I did some research. I read an article that there are "thermal" drones which can be used to detect heat and take pictures of human images. I think this is really cool that we have this type of technology. I have to wonder if anything like that was used to find Laundrie?
