Son kills girlfriend goes home to parents and tells them story that makes him seem the victim. Parents tell him hes done for unless he runs then provides the money and the means. Then sends police on a wild goose chase to give him time to get away.
Very possible... especially when it comes to these young people today, it's like their parents never told them "No" growing up, all entitled little cry babies..

This circus of a police department needs to stop allowing the parents of the killer give them the run around. At this point all three should be charged
A. They do not have proof that she is dead. Yes it looks like that is the case but no proof yet. B. They cannot arrest him without PC probable Cause which they are building. The fact that he is not talking at all says a great deal. C. The Police have to walk a fine line because they can have all evidence thrown out if they move on him without proper warrants.
Of course they are looking for her, your think they are looking for him just to find him? They want him so they know where he is when they have enough evidence to charge him.
It's pretty clear that Gabby is dead. The police have to focus on the obvious suspect who is literally running and hiding behind lawyers. There is pretty close to zero chance of finding Gabby without Brian at this point. This is just basic common sense anyone watching this situation should be able to put together.
Look this is some BS. How did they not watch this kid 24/7 as soon as he got home. Why did the parents take so long to report him missing. This guy has taken off to Bolivia a country he can afford to live.
I don’t know why people are being mean about this guy, he’s doing his job, by the letter of the law. He’s pissed off you can see that. They can’t physically make people talk or even subpoena them without a crime. Don’t get me wrong I think they should of kept an eye on him at least and I think he’s guilty of something. But if they make one wrong step and Brian gets off on a technicality this will all Be for nothing. His parents are literally trash though 💯🤌🏻
Yep, there's a lot of "lynch mob" talk in these comments. Thanks for a bit of reason in all that! :-) Edit: The comments in the general section make me wonder if all those big talkers ("They should torture him in the woods--get him to talk!") would want a "jury of their peers" if they were innocent and on trial. 😜
That was an excellent comment and I am glad to see others besides myself looking at the situation beyond criticizing the person trying to explain the situation as best he can.
How can you hate someone you’ve never met…and yet, here I am hating those parents. And how could this guy compare the time lapse of Gabby missing to Brian missing? Gabby’s family thought she was safe with Brian….Brian’s parents helped him get a 3 day head start.
But you aren't conducting the investigation. There are so many other things that they know about that they can't just release to the public. You are very naive if you think the police don't know more than they are saying.
Laundries parents want nothing to do with law enforcement when they're looking for Gabby, but NOW they want their help because their sons hiding? Grrrr😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
@2:40 ›You said they thought he was with his car? »Yes. » So...was the car found here at the preserve? ›No, it was found at the family home. »but you said the parents thought he was with his car. ›that's enough questions for today.
I thought the same, give the guy a 4 day head start then tell police we want to put out a missing person report, he left with a backpack and headed for the reserve....maybe Mexico...somebody knows the law all too well, they are playing games. Poor Gabby and her family, I would be a mess if that were my child.
When police investigate its never transparent...because its a investigation not a tv show. They know exactly what they are doing and what information they do have is not for public knowledge until the investigation is over. Irs also not supose to be about his personal opinion. Its about finding a missing person of intetest. Period.
His disappearance is another piece of circumstantial evidence that could change him from person of interest to suspect. They have more power to detain, search, and interrogate people depending on the status.
Something doesn't add up with this. Why would Brian's parents drive his Ford mustang home from the Carlton Nature Preserve without Brian? And then not report Brian missing right away? Of course the bumbling investigators don't know the day Brian's parents retrieved the mustang. "He had left the house Tuesday in his vehicle, believed by police to be a Ford mustang. He also had his hiking backpack, headed for the Carlton Reserve, Taylor said. At some point, Laundrie's family went to an entrance of the nature preserve and found his car there, then drove it back to their North Port property. Taylor did not know the day they retrieved Laundrie's car."
Yup, if they were so concerned about finding her they would have gone through HER car and interrogated him, but no his mommy and daddy had something going on.
@@raysmith6829 I do not believe for a second that the FBI or any of those people would give information to someone who would go on TH-cam and tell everyone.
These people aren’t asking the right questions at all. Like “could his parents be causing a potential diversion to possibly lead you off track??” “Why did you say you knew where Brian was this whole time without setting actual EYES on him??”
This guy is the "information officer" , every other sentence is "you know".....he doesn't seem very well versed on what the hell is going on. You know?
It’s his tone. His tone is basically I don’t give a fuck. As if this whole thing is a waste of his time.He is rude. A young women was killed and Brain was the last to see her. You would think his voice would be more understanding and not so condescending to the reporters. He is a paid public employee. Our tax dollars pay his income. This is his job to inform.
So they’re now spending their time looking for him and not Gabby. Awesome. This guy is such a loser. And if his parents were truly worried they wouldn’t have waited 3 days to tell police he was missing. Head start. Focus on everything but Gabby. Deplorable.
He's such a coward. If he wanted to off himself to avoid jail then write a note, confess, and do it in your room or something. Instead he is wasting everyone's time and resources and he's such a pussy that I'm sure he didn't leave any details.
Not Mexico, they extradite. One of these lovely places is no doubt where he is: Afghanistan, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Central African Republic, Chad, Mainland China, Comoros, Congo (Kinshasa), Congo (Brazzaville), Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands, Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Niger, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé & Príncipe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican, Vietnam and Yemen. That's as of 2015, there may be even less now. His parents' no doubt dropped him off at the private plane. Or possible plot twist... She's not dead, he's gone to retrieve her from California... Where he left her at Starbucks, saying I'll be right back.
@@megan92585 not Africa, not Middle East or Eastern Europe. Not so much Asia, I know he’s pretty with the cops so I see him in S or Central America with his Florida backwoods skills. Murderer. Sadly
@@sunshinegirl6649 I dont think so. This dumbass caught a ride to go back to the van, but the car was headed south instead of north, where he wanted to go and so he got out of the car and caught a ride back north and picked up the van and then drove to Fla. Gabby is within 5 miles of where the couple picked him up.
@@Phoenix8Rising I think he was on his way back from the murder scene. he killed her, then drove to dump the body temorarly and then went back to finish the job. He then needed a ride back to the van, but chose someone that was going in the wrong direction and demanded to get out of the car and caught another ride back to the van. She is very close to Coulter Bay.
@Z Z Very true except why was the van not parked at the Colter Campground? The van I assume was very far away and that is why he offered 200 for the ride instead of 20 bucks to just get a ride 10 miles down the road. She would of never left her van that far away on her own, and yes, he was scruffy because he had been very busy for 2 days with the body and probably did take a shower at the campsite to wash off any DNA from her.
Could this be a wild goose chase spurred on by parents who already know their son is not there but has been spirited away to "safety" days ago? Wondering !
He's not in that park. It is a rouse from his family so he can evade capture. Think about it. You can hear is his voice that he knows this search is futile.
Unfortunately, the police, FBI, and every other resource that’s helping in this case can’t share with the public everything they know. Frustrating that these resources are now being wasted on this guy!! He & his family are up to NO GOOD, otherwise Brian would be up front & center about where this young lady is!!
This guys in over his head!!! OF COURSE Laundrie was a suspect!!!! And you let him sneak off?? With your laid back attitude?? A girl went missing a month ago. The ONLY person she was traveling with is found 2,000 miles back home in possession of HER vehicle?? Thats a suspect!!!!! What more would be needed to constitute a suspect?
Keep your head up Josh, you are doing a most difficult job, and your care & professionalism is obvious. I think you have to hold up for Gabby. GOD Bless you & those in Blue.
WHY in the hell are they putting all this effort into finding Brian, after they kept saying all week that "Brian is not under arrest" "we have no reason to hold him" "he's free to go wherever he wants", etc. So now all of a sudden they put 100s of police officers on a search for HIM?? What about Gabby???
They could be looking for her body and not him. So sad to even say that, but I am guessing that is one reason they are doing a grid search. If he dumped her there. Or if he committed suicide and maybe left a note or some information about what happened to her. I think finding him does help Gabby. Besides I believe there are all sorts of people going on all sorts of leads and this is just one lead a team of people are looking into. It's suspicious that the car is back, so he left but came back?? Very confusing. Obviously they are not telling us everything.
Please forgive me for asking such a mercenary question. Where do/did these two young people get their income from? A camper van needs petrol, people need money to eat, to pay camping fees in different places ... Who provided, for paid leave for such extended trips, is not given to everybody.
any explanation of WHY he came alone with her van? how would it be a breach of his constitutional rights to answer the question? why the local police, did not have an under covered policeman to watch the ONLY person of interest? why did the parents or Brian not notify Gabby's family immediately after he returned alone?? why am I get the feeling that the local police is living in the Wonderland???
I don't understand why he wasn't a suspect, seems pretty basic. No crime? He came back without her and no one has her from her for weeks so..seems obvious some crime occurred, this seems silly
The FBI has a handle on this case, I’m started to think Brian brought Gabby back to Florida and left her somewhere in Florida. So Gabby’s parents might be looking I the wrong place. Brian and his parents are certainly hiding a lot. Obviously Brian’s parents are no more trust worthy that Brian. Brian could be over the border by now. An the local police look the other way, Gabby is a resident of the same community. Josh doesn’t seem concerned about Gabby. Just looking the other way while Brian escapes. This spokesperson is just not much of a detective.
And risk getting pulled over with a dead body in the vehicle? Doubt it. When he could dispose of the body in the remote wilderness out West where it probably will never be found unless he confesses? 🤔
It blows my mind how the law can't use some force here. It's so clear that Brian did this. Who comes home from a trip with his girlfriend and then runs away and is innocent. The parents are also clearly helping him. Wake up
I'd be checking out where he grew up on Long Island. He could tecnically have been gone a week or more. As lawyer was speaking on his and parents behalf. Police still wldn't know he is missing had they not called to speak to him on 17th.
Someone needs to tell this spokesperson that sunglasses are not Profesional at all! Send in Sheriff Grady Judd, Polk County! This guy just wants to be a rock star with the sun shades 😎 👓
Some of y’all really don’t understand the law....at this point there is NO crime....only speculation...he can’t be forced to talk, nor can the parents and y’all are just assuming he has told his parents everything....running from what, again no crime so far ....yes it was her van or rental but she has to report it missing, he can say she told him to take it....we have video evidence (the Utah police released the hour long video) of her admitting to twice assaulting him and both times she AND the witnesses who reported it state he tried to neutralize her and she still refused to calm down...he locked her out of the car until she calmed down bc she was putting her hands on him....the cops could have charged her and almost did...she lost her crap over dirty feet and dirt bc she is OCD....he had scratches and bruises on his face and neck...she had non....she stated she didn’t do the driving he did...guy tried to protect her from the cops....went so far as to ask if they could arrest him and not her....their stories matched...they didn’t have time to plan that...it also matched the witness statement....look I think this whole thing is shady too....but for all we know she went at him again on a trail or elsewhere and when trying to get her off him she fell/got hurt and he panicked....the whole incident in UTAH gives reasonable doubt if a body was found and it was not clearly murder...it could be argued an accident in court....everyone is acting as if he is evil incarnate and from what I have seen she also has her issues....if a man attacked a woman twice everyone would be acting different.....wait on the evidence...I am not saying he is innocent I am saying stop assuming....
Brian has been noted as an interested person regarding the whereabouts of Gabby Petito. Would it have been a stronger act had the local police noted Brian as a suspect for a possible murder act? Could this have kept Brian detained until more fact turned up? Allowing him to only be an interesting person may have been to easy when in fact he has been all along the only person that could have given Gabby's family more details as to why Gabby could not be found. As being the last person with her and in light of the fact that there may have been an argument or one smoldering between the two these facts should have, could have given officials a stronger right to detain Brian long before his disappearance. Could this have been murder, or an accident or a kidnapping we must find out facts. With so many officials searching for Gabby could it be likely we may never know her whereabouts? Should this remain an unsolved case it would be appalling. If, with multiple official sources assigned to finding Gabby have no further results than when they started a few weeks ago it may be proof there could be more to Gabby's disappearance than we know. Too many stories of young women disappearing go without attention and eventually fade. Prayers go out to Gabby's family and friends hopefully at some point she is found. Don't stop the questions and don't stop the search.
just think about this. his family knew she was missing for 10days before her family reported her missing, his family knew she was missing for 10days, this family is evil.
I think there are way better ways of going about that. Having everyone searching and wondering where you are doesn't seem peaceful. If you want to live off the grid it's best to do that as smoothly as possible by informing your family and friends of your intentions. When you have travel plans as they did and want to start a blog or vlog, your intention isn't to become a hidden nomad. She wanted to be in the public eye. I wish you were right though.
The distraction him and his family are trying to cause. Why were they removing Gabby’s stuff out of storage? Where did he get $200? Did he rob those women and kill them and that’s why gabby was panicking?
Who funded their entire trip you fail to see that and that is where he had $200 dollars his family has been supporting him for years so yes they will add him
When they were stopped for that domestic altercation - in the police bodycam they asked Brian if there were any weapons in the van and he said no. But it doesn't seem as though the Utah police actually searched the van. Probably another police flub up. The North Port police aren't the only dummies in this case....
His family just created a decoy. Be smarter than that. The family hasn't cooperated since day one.
That's what I think too. I think they've sent the cops in one direction, knowing he's heading in the opposite direction. And we're told he's been gone since Tuesday, but for all we know he's been gone for a week or more.
What is there for them to cooperate with?
Yup, & they will be charged accordingly as well!
I would love to see his family arrest for hindering an investigation.

The boyfriend, even if mad at her, would have told everyone where she is at if she was still alive. Sadly she is no longer alive.
Maybe he doesn't know whether she is alive or not.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 She would have contacted someone by now if she was alive especially given that she is plastered all over the MSM now.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Are you that dim? He killed her. It's obvious.
@@yelhsa._. Yeah, based on the size of the search... it is very likely she's dead.
Look this is some BS. How did they not watch this kid 24/7 as soon as he got home. Why did the parents take so long to report him missing. This guy has taken off to Bolivia a country he can afford to live.
Maybe he has changed his apearance and the police couldnt recognise him. I am sure the parents knew about everything.
Why do I get a feeling this guy knows this family personally... 🧐
I don’t know why people are being mean about this guy, he’s doing his job, by the letter of the law. He’s pissed off you can see that. They can’t physically make people talk or even subpoena them without a crime. Don’t get me wrong I think they should of kept an eye on him at least and I think he’s guilty of something. But if they make one wrong step and Brian gets off on a technicality this will all Be for nothing. His parents are literally trash though 💯🤌🏻
Yep, there's a lot of "lynch mob" talk in these comments. Thanks for a bit of reason in all that! :-) Edit: The comments in the general section make me wonder if all those big talkers ("They should torture him in the woods--get him to talk!") would want a "jury of their peers" if they were innocent and on trial. 😜
That was an excellent comment and I am glad to see others besides myself looking at the situation beyond criticizing the person trying to explain the situation as best he can.
👍 His parents have not committed a crime. And the missing are adults, not children
@@allthingswavy6420 👍
Not being mean, just stating the facts...truth hurts
How can you hate someone you’ve never met…and yet, here I am hating those parents. And how could this guy compare the time lapse of Gabby missing to Brian missing? Gabby’s family thought she was safe with Brian….Brian’s parents helped him get a 3 day head start.
Oh boy, these parents are going to jail for leading the police on a wild goose chase!!! It will ALL come out eventually, it always does.
The public is doing a better job than the investigation
Right...
All the info in the publics investigation comes directly from law enforcement.
Exactly!!!!
You got that right.
But you aren't conducting the investigation. There are so many other things that they know about that they can't just release to the public. You are very naive if you think the police don't know more than they are saying.
Laundries parents want nothing to do with law enforcement when they're looking for Gabby, but NOW they want their help because their sons hiding? Grrrr😡🤬🤬🤬🤬
"It's a preserve, it's hot and it's wet...are there any questions?" Reporter "Can you tell us what the conditions are?" 🙄
No cure for stupid. They just put it on tv.
🤣
🤣
Do reporters cringe after asking stupid questions?
@2:40
›You said they thought he was with his car?
»Yes.
» So...was the car found here at the preserve?
›No, it was found at the family home.
»but you said the parents thought he was with his car.
›that's enough questions for today.
The parents are helping the son get away. Plain and simple.
That guy is NOT out there hiding with the mosquitoes and tics in 100 degree heat. He’s long gone and laughing at everyone.
Greyhound
Leave the driving to us
in the body cam video in Utah he's literally asking the cops to move him out of the sun lol.. He's not out in the Florida wilderness... No way.
@@JakeDrives1 good point. But at the Utah video he wasn’t desperate. Now he mite be
The family waited three days to talk to the police in order to give their baby boy a head start 🙄
So the police just basically believe the family who refused to cooperate for Gabby?
What else do they have to go on?
I thought the same, give the guy a 4 day head start then tell police we want to put out a missing person report, he left with a backpack and headed for the reserve....maybe Mexico...somebody knows the law all too well, they are playing games. Poor Gabby and her family, I would be a mess if that were my child.
Right, because they obviously know them and are assisting them, not the Petito Family. This cop is so smug.
He didn't say they believed them he just simply telling what the family said. I can tell by the way he is talking he doesn't believe the family.
When police investigate its never transparent...because its a investigation not a tv show. They know exactly what they are doing and what information they do have is not for public knowledge until the investigation is over. Irs also not supose to be about his personal opinion. Its about finding a missing person of intetest. Period.
The parents should be charged with obstruction of justice for not answering the phone calls of police!
You have the right to remain silent
Hahahaha, u should be mailed for stoopidity
What will they do if they find him? Arrest him for going missing? 🤷🏼♀️
He said last night they will just take him home but he needs to be put on a phsyc hold for 72 hours if they think he would kill himself
His disappearance is another piece of circumstantial evidence that could change him from person of interest to suspect. They have more power to detain, search, and interrogate people depending on the status.
Taking him to Burger King on the way to taking him back to his home 😒
yes, he stole the girls car after all. !
@@dajewel1982 they will buy him a happy meal McDonald's
Something doesn't add up with this. Why would Brian's parents drive his Ford mustang home from the Carlton Nature Preserve without Brian? And then not report Brian missing right away? Of course the bumbling investigators don't know the day Brian's parents retrieved the mustang.
"He had left the house Tuesday in his vehicle, believed by police to be a Ford mustang. He also had his hiking backpack, headed for the Carlton Reserve, Taylor said.
At some point, Laundrie's family went to an entrance of the nature preserve and found his car there, then drove it back to their North Port property. Taylor did not know the day they retrieved Laundrie's car."
as far as I’m concerned, his family are accomplices by aiding in his disappearance.
They're worried about HIM and careless about her. Clearly.
Yup, if they were so concerned about finding her they would have gone through HER car and interrogated him, but no his mommy and daddy had something going on.
@@raysmith6829 her body? What else do you know?
@@raysmith6829 I do not believe for a second that the FBI or any of those people would give information to someone who would go on TH-cam and tell everyone.
These people aren’t asking the right questions at all. Like “could his parents be causing a potential diversion to possibly lead you off track??” “Why did you say you knew where Brian was this whole time without setting actual EYES on him??”
This guy is the "information officer" , every other sentence is "you know".....he doesn't seem very well versed on what the hell is going on. You know?
It’s his tone. His tone is basically I don’t give a fuck. As if this whole thing is a waste of his time.He is rude. A young women was killed and Brain was the last to see her. You would think his voice would be more understanding and not so condescending to the reporters. He is a paid public employee. Our tax dollars pay his income. This is his job to inform.
So fuuny, really, he is clearly bored or cannot tell the truth, he is a cartoon.
Yea he has an attitude and seems like he has no idea how to be a police officer.
We need to investigate this police department.
They need to haul his parents and his attorney in and grill them. Enough is enough!
So they’re now spending their time looking for him and not Gabby. Awesome. This guy is such a loser. And if his parents were truly worried they wouldn’t have waited 3 days to tell police he was missing. Head start. Focus on everything but Gabby. Deplorable.
He's such a coward. If he wanted to off himself to avoid jail then write a note, confess, and do it in your room or something. Instead he is wasting everyone's time and resources and he's such a pussy that I'm sure he didn't leave any details.
While the family directs the police's attention on this Florida park, he is crossing the border to Mexico.
Not Mexico, they extradite. One of these lovely places is no doubt where he is:
Afghanistan, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Central
African Republic, Chad, Mainland China, Comoros, Congo (Kinshasa), Congo (Brazzaville), Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan,
Kosovo, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands,
Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal,
Niger, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé & Príncipe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican, Vietnam and Yemen. That's as of 2015, there may be even less now.
His parents' no doubt dropped him off at the private plane.
Or possible plot twist...
She's not dead, he's gone to retrieve her from California... Where he left her at Starbucks, saying I'll be right back.
I believe so.
He should be easy to find because he would be the only person heading into Mexico instead of out.
@@megan92585 not Africa, not Middle East or Eastern Europe. Not so much Asia, I know he’s pretty with the cops so I see him in S or Central America with his Florida backwoods skills. Murderer. Sadly
It seems Brian father is highly connected to police or FBI. They seem to be covering up for them.
Well, we already know Gabby is close to Jackson Hole Wyoming where Brian was picked up hitchhiking on his way back to get the van.
@@sunshinegirl6649 I dont think so. This dumbass caught a ride to go back to the van, but the car was headed south instead of north, where he wanted to go and so he got out of the car and caught a ride back north and picked up the van and then drove to Fla. Gabby is within 5 miles of where the couple picked him up.
On his way back from where?
@@Phoenix8Rising I think he was on his way back from the murder scene. he killed her, then drove to dump the body temorarly and then went back to finish the job. He then needed a ride back to the van, but chose someone that was going in the wrong direction and demanded to get out of the car and caught another ride back to the van. She is very close to Coulter Bay.
@@Phoenix8Rising Good chance is, he dumped her in Jackson Lake or along Spread creek.
I just have this strange insight, she is in the water.
@Z Z Very true except why was the van not parked at the Colter Campground? The van I assume was very far away and that is why he offered 200 for the ride instead of 20 bucks to just get a ride 10 miles down the road. She would of never left her van that far away on her own, and yes, he was scruffy because he had been very busy for 2 days with the body and probably did take a shower at the campsite to wash off any DNA from her.
It’s not hard to understand where this guy got all of his narcissistic and selfish traits from...just look to the parents.
Could this be a wild goose chase spurred on by parents who already know their son
is not there but has been spirited away to "safety" days ago? Wondering !
@Z Z yes!!
They need to focus on finding Gabby imho.
He can run but can't hide from Karma and his Conscience if he even has one??? Poor Gabby
this is a perfect example of why local police departments need a total overhaul....this guy is ridiculous
Yes
He's not in that park. It is a rouse from his family so he can evade capture. Think about it. You can hear is his voice that he knows this search is futile.
It's a good thing he has those shades on. So bright! All this seems pretty shady.
I mean it seriously he needs to take off those sunglasses. Very unprofessional.
💯💯💯
He heard losing the prime suspect left a black eye 🤣
We love our sunglasses. Florida is the sunshine state for your information.
@@JBfromFL Love it! FYI: Maybe you should get some sleep.
Unfortunately, the police, FBI, and every other resource that’s helping in this case can’t share with the public everything they know. Frustrating that these resources are now being wasted on this guy!! He & his family are up to NO GOOD, otherwise Brian would be up front & center about where this young lady is!!
This guys in over his head!!! OF COURSE Laundrie was a suspect!!!! And you let him sneak off?? With your laid back attitude?? A girl went missing a month ago. The ONLY person she was traveling with is found 2,000 miles back home in possession of HER vehicle?? Thats a suspect!!!!! What more would be needed to constitute a suspect?
Keep your head up Josh, you are doing a most difficult job, and your care & professionalism is obvious. I think you have to hold up for Gabby. GOD Bless you & those in Blue.
WHY in the hell are they putting all this effort into finding Brian, after they kept saying all week that "Brian is not under arrest" "we have no reason to hold him" "he's free to go wherever he wants", etc. So now all of a sudden they put 100s of police officers on a search for HIM?? What about Gabby???
Look and listen to their spokesperson. This pd is definitely low iq
He has RIGHTS! She's dead so she has none.
They could be looking for her body and not him. So sad to even say that, but I am guessing that is one reason they are doing a grid search. If he dumped her there. Or if he committed suicide and maybe left a note or some information about what happened to her. I think finding him does help Gabby. Besides I believe there are all sorts of people going on all sorts of leads and this is just one lead a team of people are looking into. It's suspicious that the car is back, so he left but came back?? Very confusing. Obviously they are not telling us everything.
Please forgive me for asking such a mercenary question. Where do/did these two young people get their income from? A camper van needs petrol, people need money to eat, to pay camping fees in different places ... Who provided, for paid leave for such extended trips, is not given to everybody.
Is there information about why Brian and his parents removed Gabbie's personal items from their home and put it in storage?
From what I heard the parents were getting a divorce
That's definitely suspicious.
any explanation of WHY he came alone with her van? how would it be a breach of his constitutional rights to answer the question? why the local police, did not have an under covered policeman to watch the ONLY person of interest? why did the parents or Brian not notify Gabby's family immediately after he returned alone?? why am I get the feeling that the local police is living in the Wonderland???
Were is the van?????
They know she is dead
I don't understand why he wasn't a suspect, seems pretty basic. No crime? He came back without her and no one has her from her for weeks so..seems obvious some crime occurred, this seems silly
He should of been a suspect from day one.
This dude looks like he just wants to retire and be done with everything and everyone.
Yeah he has no concern, he is over the whole thing already.
He's arrogant.
Agreed. He's a typical disinterested cop. When the FBI joins the case, serious investigation work starts happening.
Nailed it, his disposition is trash. Imagine being his coworker, he thinks he's the shit lol.
Yup😂 they are overwhelmed & frustrated I'm sure
The fact that he drove HER vehicle across the country without her isn't considered theft? Couldn't they bring him in for that reason?
Nope.
I hope they realize they made a mistake NOT assigning ONE officer to watch him.
How do u watch him inside a house ?
Don’t sleep 24hrs ?
@@sunshinegirl6649 one person 24hrs a day ?
Good luck
@@PInk77W1 Change person every 8 hours. Much less expensive than what they are doing now.
@@chrisp1355 no worries
The car made its way back to the house? So someone dropped him off. Or he never was there. Is there video footage of him entering this park?
It's clear they know someone in the police department. That will be exposed soon enough.😑
The FBI has a handle on this case, I’m started to think Brian brought Gabby back to Florida and left her somewhere in Florida. So Gabby’s parents might be looking I the wrong place. Brian and his parents are certainly hiding a lot. Obviously Brian’s parents are no more trust worthy that Brian. Brian could be over the border by now. An the local police look the other way, Gabby is a resident of the same community. Josh doesn’t seem concerned about Gabby. Just looking the other way while Brian escapes. This spokesperson is just not much of a detective.
A public information officer is not a detective.
And risk getting pulled over with a dead body in the vehicle? Doubt it. When he could dispose of the body in the remote wilderness out West where it probably will never be found unless he confesses? 🤔
@@lindahilliker6020 well they’re not going to put a real cop on the news with a bunch of bs. That part is the smokescreen
I'm sorry but I don't I don't feel that way. I can tell the person speaking is annoyed but not at the questions. But with Brian's family.
It blows my mind how the law can't use some force here. It's so clear that Brian did this. Who comes home from a trip with his girlfriend and then runs away and is innocent. The parents are also clearly helping him. Wake up
imagine the 2 of them planned this all out for social media popularity and theyre together right now in the woods.
In this day and age this is not far fetch
Parents should be arrested for Person of Interest
That'd be dumb.
Why TF is Jerry Falwell acting like Brian is a missing person instead of a fleeing murderer? Make this make sense. 🤷🏽♀️
Hope they're watching the airports!
I'd be checking out where he grew up on Long Island. He could tecnically have been gone a week or more. As lawyer was speaking on his and parents behalf. Police still wldn't know he is missing had they not called to speak to him on 17th.
Could've been in another country before they even knew he was home,
This spokesman did an excellent job answering questions. His answers fostered a feeling that he was telling the truth. How refreshing that is.
He’s a PIO
He’s a professional
Someone needs to tell this spokesperson that sunglasses are not Profesional at all! Send in Sheriff Grady Judd, Polk County! This guy just wants to be a rock star with the sun shades 😎 👓
This family knows EXACTLY where he is cause they probably helped him leave! He could be back in the area wherever he left his girlfriend! SMH
I like how he keeps saying “we’re going by what the family said “ . He doesn’t sound like he believes the parents.
Some of y’all really don’t understand the law....at this point there is NO crime....only speculation...he can’t be forced to talk, nor can the parents and y’all are just assuming he has told his parents everything....running from what, again no crime so far ....yes it was her van or rental but she has to report it missing, he can say she told him to take it....we have video evidence (the Utah police released the hour long video) of her admitting to twice assaulting him and both times she AND the witnesses who reported it state he tried to neutralize her and she still refused to calm down...he locked her out of the car until she calmed down bc she was putting her hands on him....the cops could have charged her and almost did...she lost her crap over dirty feet and dirt bc she is OCD....he had scratches and bruises on his face and neck...she had non....she stated she didn’t do the driving he did...guy tried to protect her from the cops....went so far as to ask if they could arrest him and not her....their stories matched...they didn’t have time to plan that...it also matched the witness statement....look I think this whole thing is shady too....but for all we know she went at him again on a trail or elsewhere and when trying to get her off him she fell/got hurt and he panicked....the whole incident in UTAH gives reasonable doubt if a body was found and it was not clearly murder...it could be argued an accident in court....everyone is acting as if he is evil incarnate and from what I have seen she also has her issues....if a man attacked a woman twice everyone would be acting different.....wait on the evidence...I am not saying he is innocent I am saying stop assuming....
Brian has been noted as an interested person regarding the whereabouts of Gabby Petito.
Would it have been a stronger act had the local police noted Brian as a suspect for a
possible murder act? Could this have kept Brian detained until more fact turned up?
Allowing him to only be an interesting person may have been to easy when in fact he has
been all along the only person that could have given Gabby's family more details as to
why Gabby could not be found. As being the last person with her and in light of the fact
that there may have been an argument or one smoldering between the two these facts
should have, could have given officials a stronger right to detain Brian long before his
disappearance. Could this have been murder, or an accident or a kidnapping we must
find out facts. With so many officials searching for Gabby could it be likely we may
never know her whereabouts? Should this remain an unsolved case it would be appalling.
If, with multiple official sources assigned to finding Gabby have no further results than
when they started a few weeks ago it may be proof there could be more to Gabby's
disappearance than we know. Too many stories of young women disappearing go
without attention and eventually fade. Prayers go out to Gabby's family and friends
hopefully at some point she is found. Don't stop the questions and don't stop the search.
GOOD LORD F.D.R ARE YOU A WRITER BY ANY CHANCE?? SO WELL TYPED AND EXTREMELY IN SYNC WITH DOTTING YOUR I'S AND CROSSING YOUR T'S.. GEEEEESH
just think about this. his family knew she was missing for 10days before her family reported her missing, his family knew she was missing for 10days, this family is evil.
This guy handled the questions well. I applaud him
HOW DOES IT WORK THEN?!?! I’m so sorry but millions of people have been arrested and condemned for FAR FAR FAR FAR LESS
I think he’s at his parent’s house. This Josh guy is a piece of work himself
What if they're happily together living off the grid away from people? I'd be so happy living like that... just living away from people would be bliss
I think there are way better ways of going about that. Having everyone searching and wondering where you are doesn't seem peaceful. If you want to live off the grid it's best to do that as smoothly as possible by informing your family and friends of your intentions. When you have travel plans as they did and want to start a blog or vlog, your intention isn't to become a hidden nomad. She wanted to be in the public eye. I wish you were right though.
The distraction him and his family are trying to cause. Why were they removing Gabby’s stuff out of storage? Where did he get $200? Did he rob those women and kill them and that’s why gabby was panicking?
Who funded their entire trip you fail to see that and that is where he had $200 dollars his family has been supporting him for years so yes they will add him
When they were stopped for that domestic altercation - in the police bodycam they asked Brian if there were any weapons in the van and he said no. But it doesn't seem as though the Utah police actually searched the van. Probably another police flub up. The North Port police aren't the only dummies in this case....
He's taking away from finding her he should have already been in jail
I'm starting to believe that this is all the hopes they never even talk to the dude is this girl really missing this sounds like some type of scam
Not to me. I think he's killed her and now gone of the run.
Where did they say Brian flew home to put babies stuff in storage? That is so telling in itself if that is true.
So no real update 😞
They should also search the guys parents property. I have a intuition that she could be near there.
They're not in those woods looking for him. Some of yall are dense. They're looking for her. They know he's not in those woods. His car made it home.
How do we know?
No one knows anything but assume the worst.
Justice is coming…the only decent act for Brian and his family to do is to cooperate!
