Gabby Petito Case

Both me and my friend are somewhat following this media circus with curiosity.

Last night at dinner, the 11-year old kiddo pipped up, 'don't know why their continuing to search in the nature preserve. he's probably already north of the Georgia border, riding that bicycle he had stashed in the backseat on Tuesday, and not leaving any footprints to follow.'

I wonder if the feebies ever considered something like that that as a possibility...?

I heard that the parents waited a few days to inform the police, so with that time frame in mind, I don't think he is anywhere near where they said he is. I am not following the story - it's the same old, same old. Dead woman, significant other on the run. He may not have even killed her - he could be on the run because he's afraid he'll get railroaded. Not probable, but possible.

Your child is smart.

A long time ago, a man killed his pregnant wife as they were parked across the street from a local hospital, at night. The man said that a guy had opened the car door and inexplicably killed his wife and shot him. In reality, the husband did all the shooting and there was no one else involved.

I was taking a criminal law class and followed the story avidly. The police were searching for a guy who met the description of the husband (a Black guy, of course).

The professor was really angry at me for bringing up what I thought happened. The wife was not going to sit in an unlocked car at night. She was an attorney and pregnant, and had to have known how the area had a criminal element. So I figured the car was locked and the husband did it. The professor thought I was a nut. Guess what, I wasn't.

Your child is to be commended for thinking outside the box of the obvious.
 
The current and first criminal charge against Brian Laundrie,
the unauthorized use of a charge card for over $1,000,
makes this case a Federal case, so that has lots of effects on how it will be handled, overall.

(And the card is possibly Gabby's, that she likely could not have authorized at the time he used it :cry: )

In addition, Brian's parents, who have been heavily involved it appears, could be called by a Grand Jury now, and there is no parent-child privilege, so their noncompliance might put them in contempt or obstruction of justice.....
so each step moves toward increasing the scope of info available.

I do not know which questions they would be required to answer, but if they paid for or provided transportation and supplies, once they knew there was a crime....that could be significant, too. (And could pressure them to reveal more info)

Maybe one of the lawyers on here can clarify, but it seems there is such a privilege

Parent - Child Privilege
 
I think that will not work, if the card was used after a certain date, that she is deemed by medical authorities, to no longer have been able to agree. :(

But after all, these are minor issues,
that are primarily being put in place, so that they can proceed to take further actions regarding the overall, much more serious case.

Brian Laundrie posted this engagement photo of the pair with a message saying ‘til death do us part’. Picture: Instagram

As the FBI continues its manhunt for Brian Laundrie near his home in Florida, it is possible the experienced outdoorsman has an almost two-week headstart into the wilderness. There is a suspicion as to where he has headed – the Appalachian Trail, or AT. It’s a renowned 35000 km trail between Georgia and Main in the eastern US……

I agree but unless she put him as an authorized user on the account he's toast with this particular crime. I think that's why they chose this crime to charge him with because she probably didn't.

They chose this crime because there is no physical evidence to connect him with Gabby's homicide. He can wriggle out of this as well, but it makes anyone helping him guilty of adding and abetting. They're just trying to flush him out.

A source close to the family of Brian Laundrie claims Gabby Petito’s fiancé left his parents’ Florida home last Tuesday without his cell phone and wallet.

Anyone?
 
I think he wouldn't take those items with him,
if he went hiding and/or traveling, because he would not want anything in his possession, that might help to either locate him, or that would help others to ID him as who he actually is. He might be going someplace, planning to try to appear to be someone else. Just my thoughts.

I also do not think much of those stories are true, that his parents and someone close to them, are telling. Those accounts do not match other reports, such as that the parents' neighbors saw Brian and his parents load a camper and then leave for 3 days. Then the parents returned.

Their other stories do not make sense to me either. Such as , if they were truly afraid for his safety, as they now claim they had been, then why would they have waited 3 days (and 3 nights), to report that he'd left hiking locally, and not returned.
Too many of their tellings do not make sense to me.

Anyway, I think he was long gone, before all of that,
with a giant head start, of days or weeks, and with lots of direct help from his parents, to flee. Again, just my thoughts.

Regardless of whatever he possibly did, or did not do, Before he left Gabby, this would not be good ways to handle it, afterwards, for him or his parents, in my view.

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 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.
 
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.

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.
