Laundrie may have murdered his girlfriend, Gabby Petito, on their road trip. He hasn't cooperated with authorities and now he is at large. So where did he go? Any guesses?
 

According to CNN, Laundrie's home was searched on Friday. Apparently, he still lived with his parents. They had to step outside the house while FBI agents searched the house. I doubt there's anything incriminating there. My guess is that he lost his temper and killed Gabby and then ditched her body, but how can somebody do that and then deal with their parents and the police without being a nervous wreck? Perhaps he's a sociopath. If I were the FBI, I'd be looking for evidence of that.
 
My guess is that he's gone off to try to hide someplace. (Mexico?)
He had 3 days head start, before his parents told the police he'd left, and he wasn't a criminal suspect then yet.

And my guess is that he did not go where he told his parents he was going, or they know and knew, he didn't head there;
either way, as the authorities have searched and not found him there.
(Added: That bought him more additional time. And there still was not evidence of a crime, so he wasn't a suspect.)

Such a sad story, and poor young woman, and her devastated parents.:cry:

If he were going to kill himself, I think he wouldn't have gone back to his parents, first.

He's trying to hide or he's deal. I guess those are the two logical choices.

What in the world happened here? A fight, a disagreement? Was he just nuts.

FIRST ON FOX: The 911 caller who reported a "domestic dispute" between Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito in Moab, Utah, on Aug. 12 was heard telling a dispatcher that "the gentleman was slapping the girl" and hitting her, Fox News has confirmed Monday after exclusively obtaining the audio of the call.

"He was slapping her?" the dispatcher was heard asking.

"Yes, and then we stopped. They ran up and down the sidewalk. He proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car and they drove off," the caller added.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Parents handed him all the cash they had on hand. He grabbed clothes and split. If he did tell the parents his destination, it was a lie. If he uses his cell phone, it can be tracked. If he uses any credit/debit cards, they've got him. The FBI will tap his parents' phones and know if he contacts them. Unless he did commit suicide, he will be caught.

Reading lots on Twitter about the case. So many are suggesting he is being convicted without proof or trial. "Well, what if she initiated the conflict and he killed her in self defense?" I have trouble believing he would have to resort to deadly force to restrain her. If it was defense, surely there would be some proof and he would have called authorities is he harmed her.

Domestic abuse is a scourge that has been around for generations. So much was kept covered up... swept under the rug... in past times. Physical... emotional... verbal... Bruises of the mind can last far longer than bruises of the flesh.
 
From what I saw on the news they both had mental health issues, yet the videos which they posted saw two lovely young people enjoying their trip across the country in love with one another. Something went very wrong and now two sets of parents grieving, one because their daughter is dead and the other because their son is missing and maybe? probably, instrumental in the death of the young lady. My thoughts and prayers go to them, there but for the grace of God go I, is what we should all be saying, or at least those of us with children.
 
An above post mentions that : " many are suggesting he is being convicted without proof or trial "

If he didn't do anything wrong, then he's definitely crazy.
He left her there, alive or not alive, hurt or ill, definitely alone,
and he drove their only vehicle (hers, I think) back home, across the country?

And she wasn't left with any way to call anyone? Yikes. As was said in another post above, he's not the sharpest!

She was a little girl and he was 6 ft tall. He took her van and left her. I watched the interview with Dr. Phil live on air with her father. Her father pleaded with his family to give them any info and they kept their damn mouths shut. They probably gave him money and he left. They know where he is! And now she is dead and he is alive.
 
I watched the full police cam video of the "domestic violence" stop in Utah. The person who called the cops thought he was slapping her, but they both said she had been slapping him and his face was scratched up. She told the police she had OCD and was in a bad mood while cleaning. He said she was mad because she got in the van with dirty feet.

The police were very sweet to her. They put her in the back of the police car to cool down and to separate the two. Then they got Brian out of the van and talked to him. He was downplaying everything, minimizing their problems, while letting it slip that they had been fighting all the time over little things and admitting that when she got upset he pushed her away fairly hard.

Then a park-police woman came along and said everything to Gabby that I had been wishing someone would say: Your relationship is toxic, now would be a good moment to take a different path, etc.

The police then put Brian up in a hotel for the night and left Gabby with the van (because she was the owner of the van). They were instructed to spend the night cooling off, no calling or texting, until morning.

How I wish Gabby had kept on driving till she got to her parents in New York.

That was it. A few days later they were seen in a store out west and as they left the store Gabby said to the clerk that they were engaged. They must have made up, but a few days after that was September 1st when Brian turned up at his parents home in Florida, driving the van but without Gabby.

After Gabby's parents reported her missing on Sept 11, Brian lawyered up, and his parents house was under surveillance. When he was discovered missing from that house his parents said he had been gone for a few days and they thought he had gone to a local nature reserve. That has been searched, he's not there and I doubt he ever was.

My speculation: His parents drove him out in their car while he hid in the back somehow. I think he's headed for the Appalachian Trail. In one of his texts he said that hiking out west was much harder than the AT which he had hiked many times.

I definitely think he lost his temper and killed Gabby. Seeing her on the videos and what a sweet, fragile girl she was, is truly heartbreaking.

I know! After looking at dozens of photos and video clips from Gabby's blog you would think they were the happiest, sweetest, most carefree young couple ever. Then we find out Gabby had OCD which could make her moody and Brian had anger issues and I wonder if maybe so many young people didn't feel they had to turn their lives into camera ready, romance movies their lives would be less stressful.
