    I can’t imagine the heartache of having to revisit the location where you spotted Gabby’s van but I appreciate you taking us along. So many of us followed every move of that case and are emotionally connected to that spot. Sending love to Gabby’s parents.❤

    It must have be so strange to revisit the spot where you sighted Gabby Petitos van. Wyoming is so beautiful! What terrible news Jenn and how heartbreaking for your friends family. No wonder your PTSD kicked in 😢 💜💜

    Hello beautiful Bethune Family and fellow Bethoonies.... Happy Saturday! 🪻
    It's surreal even for those of us who followed Gabby's search & case, so to revisit and recall those difficult Memories, are definitely very sad and I'm certain many of us were feeling emotional too... & then to see Jenn crying and trying to deal with the horrific news from her friend, ohhh his my heart sunk as well... I wished at that moment I could give Jen a hug of comfort and just BE there. I'll be Praying for your friend and her entire family. I'm sooo very sorry for their losses. 😢🙏
    Wyoming is so beautiful indeed, and much of their scenery looks similar to here in Alaska too! I Love the Mountains all around us in my Town, too usually snowcapped through August. Until late Sept/Oct when the Snow starts to build up again. It's almost like having different Mountains weekly with the changes. Very Beautiful.
    Oh wow, I just LOVE those Family run, side of the road Cafe/Shop places, the people are usually so wonderful and absolute Gems to come across in traveling.
    Praying for you all, especially for inner peace and calm. Y'all have been on the go, physically and mentally, and I hope you all get to just hang out at your property for a bit now. Thank you for the joy you all give in your videos, Safe travels and God bless. 🩷🌺🌻

    Wyoming is on the Bucket list for sure! But more importantly, I just wanted you guys to know that I appreciate your transparency in showing us the good, the bad, and the ugly days. That truly is life and we all go through them at 1 time or another. Hugs to everyone (especially Jenn❤) and prayers for peace and understanding for your friends family.

    There’s so much here, the majestic locations you visit, contrasted with the tragedy that occurred there. Your friend’s tragedy and the flashbacks you must have been dealing with are deeply moving, yet you all muscle through and keep creating beautiful memories. As always, you remain authentic and real. Inspiring.

    I am so glad you went back. Its really strange, heartbreaking but heartfelt how the one thing she loved brought us together.
    While scanning TH-cam I ran across her and her travels, then she had the run in with the cops and glued myself to her channel, then everything went bad. Then God showed you when she was missing at and I glyed myself to your channel and here I am still today. I love you guys so much. I have gotten to see the kids grow and mature right before my eyes.
    THANK YOU for all you, and Kyle do...
    May God continue to bless the Bethune Family...❤ !!!

    To me it was great video! Jen I just wanted to reach out to you to hug you when told of your friends children’s death at different times I think you said. It’s sad when your children die before you. I feel for you to for being in the area where you found Gabby Petito. I’m so sorry it happened to her. I wish it never happened. Sorry Jenn for what you are going through with this and your friend too! My prayers go out to you and your friend. I love Hibachi. I only had it once and it was good! Nice Father’s Day for Kyle. How cute Kevin was laying on your lap. Drive safe going home. I heard there was storms and floods going on all over the place. Love you all! ❤❤💜💙🩵🧡❣️Here is my hug and kisses you need for what you are through. 🤗🥰😘

    Hi Jenn, I hope you don't get offended because I'm trying to learn about this situation with what you're going through. But how do your kids get through this they never met their brother that passed away, right? how do you even get in a car to drive that's part of life? Does Kyle go through the same thing like you, or is it different for him? Wow, I didn't know you went to the place where Gabby got murdered she was an angel in real life, and she is a forever angel in heaven. I still can't believe that you found her van, and it's because of you that her family got her body and got her to be at peace.
    I know you don't take credit but if it wasn't for you and Kyle her boyfriend would have gotten away with it and her family would have never got to be at peace knowing what happened to their daughter.
    💔🙏🏼🤍🙏🏼🤍🪽🪽🕊

    Hello guys, first I just want to say to Jen that I completely understand the entire issue regarding PTSD. I have COMPLEX PTSD. A lot of people don't know what complex PTSD is and how it is different from PTSD. So just in case not because I think you're stupid absolutely not but because I want people to know that complex PTSD is a real diagnosis and the differences it starts in childhood and it's trauma after trauma after trauma and on and on. So they call it complex because it's not like a big event that normally is what PTSD is about a huge horrible event there might be a couple events but they're normally around the same issue and time. With COMPLEX PTSD It really does ask your life up completely. The reason I say that is I am 66 years old and I still have very serious meltdowns, I get overwhelmed so easy and I cannot regulate my emotions well at all. I've had tons and tons of therapy of all different kinds but I've had to accept that I'm broken on some level and that it's not going to get better. For anyone in the comments that wants to read this and says will you need to know Jesus I already do I'm a Jesus follower that doesn't make everything get healed. So Jen I'm so glad you put that in the video of you crying and you struggling and how painful it all is. I am with you sister. I have a very important question ❓❓
    Although I was involved and heavily watching every aspect of the Petito Laundry horrid case, I never understood how you guys seeing the back of the van had anything to do with anything. Can you please tell me how was it so significant that you guys saw that white van and the back of it especially that belonged to Gabby? That would mean the world to me because as of this day I still don't know why you guys coming up on that van was such an important part of that story. Jen I'm so sorry about your friend. I wonder how the second child died. And even though I've been watching your channel and never miss a video I don't even know how you lost your own child. I know that it just wrecked your world. Anyways I just stop the video I just felt the need to say what I said. You guys don't know how much your videos mean to me I'm struggling really bad today myself and just knowing I can watch a video of yours is so helpful. I'm always confused and always missing something Why were you guys taking this trip in the van Please tell me that I really want to know I'm like what's happening Why are they doing this is it for fun because I would think if it's for fun they would be taking the bus I don't know fill in this confused woman. I love you guys I'm going back to the video now and we'll start at the beginning.❤❤❤❤❤

      @@kavitadeva you'd have to go back into the videos & case information to verify I am remembering this correctly but I believe this is how it went: Brian returned to Florida without Gabby. Her parents were very concerned and the police got involved. The case was all over the media and they were trying to figure out exactly where she was. They had some locations, but given the fact that she was traveling to several campsites in her van, they didn't know where to start searching. As you probably remember, it was ALL OVER the media trying to figure out where to start their search. I believe it was Jenn that said she thought she saw the van and decided to spend countless hours going through their dash cam footage until she found it. Then she turned it over to police and the search team ultimately found her. Does that help? :)

      @@emilymcfadden3584 Emily that was so very thoughtful of you to take the time to reply with all that information I really appreciate it. As I told you I was all over that case I mean I was so into understanding everything and we all know how sickening and horrific the whole thing was. Are you saying that Jen found in their dash cam footage that let them know where Gabby might be? I know about Brian going without Gabby and Gabby's van to Florida of course I remember that however I didn't know why the white van was parked isn't it in some very far away state is it Wyoming I forget right now I'm sorry I got to remember where that van was part but that's why I was so confused all the time. Thinking well the van is so far away how did it get there because I know he drove there without Gabby and then he drove back right to get Gabby then he murders Gabby and then what he comes back and the van is left somewhere? I am so confused still I don't get it I guess I'm unable somehow to see number one where was this van located and it wasn't near Gabby or was it near Gabby because Brian ultimately was in Florida and went into the marsh as we know and whatever killed himself. Where was the van do you know because he flew there right to Florida? If you don't feel like answering my questions it's okay I understand I just want to know I feel like it's something I've never understood it's just weird to me I can't understand how I can't figure this out even with you giving me that information. Thank you again that was very kind of you.
