Washington Post article on Gabby Petito - coroner's report,
Reader Comments
----------------------------
* They should lock up his aiding and abetting family until they give up where he's hiding. I have no doubt they know exactly where he is. With his father supposedly joining search efforts, it just seems like they're literally screwing around with law enforcement for shts and giggles. What a disgusting, disgraceful family.
* I know, makes no sense they can't bring his family in for questioning. Pretty obvious they know his whereabouts.
* His lawyer is as insufferable as his parents.
* I have suspected from the start that his parents provided cover. He may not have ever been in that wilderness area close to his home. Did he have a passport? I'm sure that is one thing the FBI looked at.
His parents are an accessory. They provided him a vehicle to get away and that other vehicle parked at the wildlife refuge was just another red herring.
* Central American countries are lawless. He could have taken a boat to one and disappeared into the jungle. No one is going to ask him for a passport!
* Really, it's that easy to get on a boat and go hundreds or thousands of miles, and get dropped off in a foreign country in the middle of the night so that no one sees you? Then go and "disappear" into the jungle to live it up -- in the jungle? Yeah, sure, I'll bet you've done it a dozen times.
BTW, every country in the Western Hemisphere has an extradition treaty with the US except Cuba. You think they would welcome him?
* And, frankly, even if a country has no extradition treaty with the U.S., I doubt Laundrie is the kind of guy they want in their country. Embezzlers yes, wife murderers no. He would get a de facto extradition on the grounds of being an undesirable alien.
* Some Central American countries are lawless. Costa Rica isn't lawless. Panama isn't lawless. And these two have extradition treaties with the US, as do others.
* Where in the heck is the kid? I mean, he's a white, middle class 23-year-old, not some high level career criminal who knows how to disappear. I suspect he's either dead or getting some very savvy help. Are his parents the type who would have those kinds of contacts? Most suburban people aren't.
* Do you think "suburban people" are a bunch of hicks? I live in a suburb outside of a major metropolitan area. The overwhelming majority of the people in my community are highly educated, upper middle class to wealthy, and capable of having contacts with people who can provide what you refer to as "pretty savvy help."
* No I don't think they are a bunch of hicks. I think they are suburban people living suburban lives. Does not having criminal contacts - or people willing to commit crimes if you request it - mean you are a hick? "No criminal contacts" -- I never heard that definition of a hick before.
* The background of the Laundries should be researched. Who are the people whom they know?
* The authorities need to follow the money.
They need to get a hold of the parents' banking records - it doesn't appear that this is by any stretch a wealthy family, but this sociopathic murderer can't survive indefinitely without funds.
Someone is funneling money to him, after, of course, he stole his dead fiance's debit card after strangling her, and took her money and her van to drive back to Mommy and Daddy's house and plan his disappearance.
* I think his parents were into some kind of shady business dealings. The description of their "business" sounds more like something set up to launder money.
* He is probably living in one of their basements.
* There aren't basements in Florida - the water table is far too high.
* Steven Bertolino, the attorney for Laundrie and his family, makes me embarrassed to be an attorney. I hope he is investigated for his involvement in what I am convinced is criminal conduct on the part of Laundrie and his parents.
* What is this guy living on? Wherever he is, he doesn't have his phone or a credit card, or he'd have been located by now. Did his parents give him a huge amount of cash? Is he hitchhiking?
If he's on the Appalachian Trail, he's got to come to town for food.
People have seen him in North Carolina.
Where are the police there?
His photo should be on billboards, with a beard and scruffy long hair added like on a milk box.
* I don't believe he's in a swamp or the Appalachian trail, I don't believe he's left Florida. Just look at this guy, 23 years old, doesn't own a car, lives with his parents at "23." He's an underachiever socially and financially and very dependent on his parents. He's not gong to go too far away from them.
He's sitting at a safe house / apt.
He's never roughed it a day in his life.
Playing at being a survivalist is completely different than actually having the skills and stamina to be a survivalist....
* All of the speculation is moot because Laundrie is long gone. His parents, lawyer and sister worked to get him out of the country by seaplane or boat. He made his way to Mexico early on and by now is living in some SA country with new name and docs. He will not return to the US.
* The dude ran home to mommy and daddy as fast as he could. Kinda think he's too weak to live in central or south America. By himself.
* A sad, tragic story. There are bad people out there.
* It is to their everlasting shame that the police allowed this guy to slip away. They should have been watching his every move. And what is wrong with his parents?
* The Laundrie parents remind me of the Vatican....
* His family members are also Accessories after the Fact.
* Probably before the fact. The parents were housing this 'love story'. They knew their son.
They knew.
* Was expecting a head injury consistent with falling down / knocked down. But strangulation is first degree murder with the aggravating circumstance of robbing her bank account.
Brian is a psychopath aided and abetted by his parents.
Sod the lot of 'em.
