Gabby Petito

[mjkacmom]

Hundreds of unsolved murders aren't investigated? Are you saying police just say "Yep. Found the murdered body. Case closed!" And they don't investigate at all?

Well, I for one am happy that they found this young woman's body and are investigating. I feel sorry for these people that never get an investigation.

I believe all deaths are investigated, obviously it’s impossible for the media to cover them all.

Yeah but that is NOT what is said to the police. And also many I have seen on here were originally saying she was the aggressor. The police ask her if he hit her and she says NO. So does he. Seems that 911 call is extremely relevant. From the police cam pulling them over it seems like she is the aggressor and maybe mentally ill issues. He is acting like she is the problem period. You know there is such a thing as narcissistic abuse or gaslighting where the victim isn't sure they are being victimized and are confused etc. or just afraid. Maybe she just defended herself or maybe they are both aggressive like you say here, but that is not what he said to police. And why is he hiding, or did he commit suicide? Looks to me either he killed her or he may be hurt himself? It's a crazy case.

This is why I said both can be aggressors.

Are you saying that the police officer made it up? Did the police officer get confused? I'm confused now lol. In domestic disputes sometimes people in a vicious cycle do lie to protect each other. From what I read they both wanted the issue to go away without arrest and so they spent the night apart and what appears to be virtually pleading with the officer to not make it go too far. That doesn't mean that she didn't slap him at some point.

Maybe we should requote wenrob's earlier post where in part she said "I don’t know if you mean to but you’re basically blaming him for her physically assaulting him. This is why men can’t win for losing in domestic situations and part of the reason why they don’t speak up." I've been pretty much of the opinion that they both have their issues and I don't know what led up to whatever happened. I can't even begin to speculate that he was gaslighting her I mean what if she was gaslighting him? I just don't know.

I didn't say the 911 call was irrelevant not at all I said the news story calling it exclusive. Did fox put out a story about the police report at the time saying she physically assaulted him or are they just putting it out now about him doing it to her. That's what I meant about adding fuel to the fire.

I totally agree crazy case though this whole bit.

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

I didn't quote every post, just the one that literally said he wouldn't hurt a fly. Pages 2 and 3 are pretty full of multiple similar posts (though mostly from that same poster).

Okay so for the most part one poster's opinion. Gotcha, thanks for the added information. Doesn't mean what the other poster said which was about it not pointing to her being the aggressor. That was actually the part I was responding to based on what they linked in their comment. The poster I quoted then brought up the not hurt a fly bit which wasn't in their first post about the topic being discussed. If it had been I wouldn't have responded to them in the first place. I was just responding to the aggressor bit, to me they both got stuff going on ya know.

An autopsy can determine if the body was moved after death occurred.

Sometimes...not always.

No I am NOT saying police confused. Didn't you ever hear of gaslighting? Women that are gaslighted can get confused and think they are crazy, or they are the bad ones or deserve what they get. Many abusers in domestic abuse tell their victims "I wouldn't do this if you didn't do that" etc. Or even confuse them if something even happened or not. Or she could just be scared. I am not saying this is happening, saying it is possible, along with other scenarios. Heck even the scenario that he went to look for her is a possibility. The thing is that she was very open and honest with the police, at least seemed so. He on the other if you believe the 911 caller, is NOT. That is a red flag for something. What is another thing.

I know what gaslighting is. Reread my comment please. Gaslighting is not exclusive to being done to women it's a characteristic of a toxic and abusive relationship but is not defined by gender. I'm saying I don't know could have happened that way or she could have done it to him. They were on the road for several months and had what appeared to be tense times. Who knows what all transpired. I just don't know.

If the police officer isn't confused then why did he write in that she slapped him. Why does the report reflect her as the aggressor and he as the victim in the post pea-n-me posted several pages back? That's what I was asking.

The poster you quoted literally said that they were not saying that is what happened, just that it was another possibility. And the poster earlier was responding to your specific request for quotes. Once delivered, they were responded to once again with sarcasm.

ETA: Hmm, looks like your post was edited after I first read it.

Are you talking about this post?

I posted this several pages back but I will post it again.

Police Report

View attachment 606219

The police determined, after an hour long interview with Gabby, Brian and a male witness named Chris, whose stories all corroborated, that Gabby was the aggressor in that situation.

Brian = Victim

Gabby = Suspect

They were even concerned for “Battered Boyfriend Syndrome” with Brian

 

[Dentam]

Been following along with this story for a couple of days and it's so sad and confusing. I hope her family gets all of the answers soon. I do think that his family helped him out and knows more but time will tell.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I am apparently reading things very differently than some of the posters
on the last couple of pages.

 

[bcla]

I believe all deaths are investigated, obviously it’s impossible for the media to cover them all.

Unless there's a medical call, it's pretty standard for any death of someone reasonably young to be investigated and an autopsy ordered. But it's going to be almost automatic in the case of suspicious circumstances for death. But even if it was someone who was just hiking and fell into a ravine, that would likely involve an autopsy too.

BTW - I looked it up and state law in Wyoming is that the coroner's report is not public and can be made available to next of kin. So it's not like other states where the coroner's report is public. Maybe the cause of death will be public though.

https://www.tetoncountywy.gov/258/Coroner​

Coroner Reports and other information governed by State law may only be released to Next of Kin. Next of Kin are a spouse, adult children, parents, legal guardian, personal representative with written authorization, or their legal representation.​

The poster you quoted literally said that they were not saying that is what happened, just that it was another possibility.

I thought they were responding to the person talking about the conversation did she actually him or not because of these quotes

Yeah but that is NOT what is said to the police.

The police ask her if he hit her and she says NO. So does he.

When I was reading their comments about gaslighting I thought they were agreeing with the poster about saying gaslighting was a possibility but they seemed to be saying it's a possibility that she was gaslighting him instead of only looking at it that he was gaslighting her because that's how the other comment read that it was only about the possibility of him gaslighting her. I think (well that's all I could come up with) that's what was going on. It's getting a bit back and forth though. I don't think any harm was meant. Just seemed to say 'hey girls can do it do' I guess.

And the poster earlier was responding to your specific request for quotes. Once delivered, they were responded to once again with sarcasm. So my question is, what is your issue?

Whoa whoa whoa back up I didn't see sarcasm??

I'm just getting caught up here. That conversation was because of seeing the fly comment. If it was mostly just one person with that opinion (and no offense to that person) then I don't think that's reflective of this thread. Maybe we should ask the question why you felt the need to laugh at their posts? Isn't that just a form of sarcasm when used that way?

Oh would you mind explaining? I can't quite keep all of it straight the last couple of pages trying to get caught up, it's starting to blur what information is 100% know and accurate and what has changed as time has gone on

I don't want to start anything but what's your issue with that person?

Her original post that I was responding to was edited quickly so now it's confusing. I laughed at how rude her responses were. Just don't understand how people can talk to others online sometimes. It's crazy. No issue with that person other than not liking the tone of their posts and I felt bad for the people they were directed at.

 

[NotUrsula]

I think that at this point, no one other than possibly Brian Laundrie actually knows exactly what happened, and for all we total strangers on the internet know, he doesn't, either. Anything some poster on the web who had never met either of them comes up with is just speculation, and that includes me. He may have run, he may be hiding, he may be gator chow; but Joe Blow on the Internet who claims that he just knows is merely spouting off guesses.

I do feel safe in speculating that the cause of death will become public soon after the autopsy is completed; someone will manage to leak it to the tabloid press, even if it is not officially released.

We're going to have to chalk this up to a misinterpretation of the comments honestly

I was not intending to be rude nor sarcastic and I'm sorry you viewed them that way and apologies if Mermaid felt that way too.

I really wish the laughing reaction could be removed. I myself find it rude and well come to think of it yes sarcastic itself to use the laughing reaction when it's clearly not used in a joking manner but honestly that's besides the point and not my call to have it there or not there. I think the other poster has more of an issue with it than I truly do still though.

So I guess let bygones be bygones at this point on that back and forth

 

[tinkerdorabelle]

Oh no I thought I just heard that they cannot determine how she died. I hope this is not going to be one of those cases where we really never know what happened. Sad for family. Such a strange case now saying he has been gone since Tues? why did police not watch him closer? He leaves car with a note, what did note say and parents go get it? They must be complicit or did he call them, has that come out, I didn't hear.

 

[Dentam]

The whole gaslighting conversation is seeming more ironic now...

And I'd like to see a question mark emoji added. Agree that the laughing one doesn't really fit a lot of the time.

Oh okay I see I understand you. I always feel bad when people have the laughing thing used on them in a not so nice way, I always feel bad for those posters

Oh I just saw their response, don't mean to get going so please just take my response as just that so we don't keep it going. Thank you for answering me!!
