What happened to Gabby Petito?

No one is a total victim //// no one without flaws. She is pretty and vulnerable and ready to accept blame. I don't doubt this guys love for her. Even if it was a fake love, modeled by our sick society . A possessive love. No one deserves to be hit or beaten or kllled, if that is what happened, why did it happen? When one seeks to make a living off of being the perfect, loving couple by filming perfect moments .....it is destined for trouble. Why do we watch? What the hell is wrong with us? I admittedly followed the Chris Watts case. Why? So I could rationalize my own pathetic existence? So I could finally understand that "nice" isn't always nice.

When I was a kid, before the woke phase, we gave valentines in school to those we wanted to. Who got the most? Those with the fakest personality. Those we were programmed to think should get the most. Watch out for the programming. Die authentic, even if flawed and broken.

Agree with you , Pam.

There 's no accident in the universe.

She has her own "problem" or Karma to make so.

But we also need to be careful that female are weak sometimes. We shall protect ourselves and use God's power to stand up.

Ok, this is, uh, interesting, weird and sad on many levels:

Gabby Petito was in 2013 ‘Irreplaceable’ music video for Sandy Hook

When she was 14 years old, Gabby Petito starred in a music video titled “Irreplaceable” to help spread awareness about violence against children after the Sandy Hook massacre.

She and her two younger brothers appeared in the 2013 video, whose song was produced and sung by fellow Long Island native Deb Henson, who told the Sun that its inspiration was the school shooting that left 26 people dead, including 20 kids, in Newtown, Conn.

In the video, Petito — whose death has been ruled a homicide after her body was found near a Wyoming campsite – is seen holding a sign that reads: “I’m irreplaceable.”

NBC reports:

"FBI says The remains, which were described as skeletal, were confirmed using dental record

Partial remains found by authorities searching for Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito’s fiancé, were confirmed to be his after a review of dental records.

The remains were found in Florida's Carlton Reserve on Wednesday after more than a month of searching for Laundrie, who was declared a person of interest in Petito's disappearance before her body was found in Wyoming. The FBI field office in Denver announced that the remains were positively identified Thursday.

A spokesperson for the North Port Police told NBC News earlier Thursday that the remains were "skeletal."

"According to the FBI, the remains were found alongside personal items, such as a backpack and a notebook, belonging to Laundrie.

"These items were found in an area that up until recently had been under water," Michael McPherson, special agent in charge of the FBI's Tampa office, said Wednesday.

Laundrie’s parents helped lead the FBI and North Port police to the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, according to Steven Bertolino, an attorney for the Laundrie family.

Bertolino spoke to NBC News Now's "Top Story with Tom Llamas” following the identification of the remains, saying the family wanted to search for their son on their own after the reserve reopened to the public.

"My understanding was it either open to the public on Tuesday or Wednesday, and Chris and Roberta decided that since it was open ... they wanted to go and look for Brian by themselves," Bertolino said. "After speaking with me, I told him that I wanted to notify law enforcement so that we would have no issue."

The Carlton Reserve and neighboring Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park are short drives north of the Laundrie family home."

another article from NY Post here:
https://nypost.com/2021/10/21/brian-...park-fbi-says/



many questions were raised as Brian's parents went there and film camera and crew were ready and the body was found



an article here outlays the speculation and its basis:
https://www.enstarz.com/articles/222...lue-theyre.htm

however, to those interested, i suggest going on the NBC page here and seeing the video. the attorney is interviewed as he has been a close member of the family for over 25 yrs. and i have to say in the interview there are NONE of the weird and inconsistencies in his responses. no weird or hidden amusement that betrayed sincerity such as was seen in the interviews for Sandy Hook

he genuinely seemed upset

AND if that is so? my question is so does THAT "wrap it up"? i thought he was a "person of interest" NOT the convicted murderer

it could ALL be a farce .. but these two look in gentle and non homicidallly bent



now it COULD be because they are actors and NOT in fact involved in a murder plot

or it could be because he did not do it

if people are really interested in getting to the bottom of this, WHY is there NOT an investigation launched into the police officer even if just to remove all shadow of doubt

it is possible of course, that he was a gentle soul momentarily possessed in a rage and completely overcome for a moment

but then EVERYTHING else doesn't make sense

if THAT happened? you either confess or you run

you do not return to the location you lived with your gf IN HER van because somehow you "think" ... "well, if i just avoid answering their questions, maybe the whole thing will blow over and it will all go away"

there WAS SOME component that remains hidden that would explain his bizarre actions and that of his parents

assuming, of course, these were real people

Indeed, if it's a psyop it wouldn't be the first. From Cluesforum:

The names scream pay-op to me:

Gabby Petito = Small Talk

Brian Laundrie = Brain Washing

Is murder mystery "small talk" being used for "brain washing" the general public? What could be the point of this nonsense?

Add the Sandy Hook video to that...

yes! and you know? i so very much hope this to be the case!! to have that beautiful girl's light snuffed out so tragically would be very sad for me!

another clue that it is a psyops are the videos

there were professional aerials of these two traveling! how were they made when supposedly they were struggling financially?

possible motive for psyop?

particularly if they make a BIG production of it

for the people that have succumbed to fear through a LIFETIME of programming?

seeing a couple of productions of "manhunts" will be enough not just send chills through them?

but FULL concessions of power

akin to battles won without need to even fire a single shot

like the vax, that multitudes took willingly

A guy kills a girl in a super obvious way, and some incompetent cops mess it up.

Question why is this EVERYWHERE around the news. I mentioned it on another thread, we're having "weird" mediatic topics suddenly flood the news in spain too.

We should be asking why. What is being hidden? what are they building up? Why did this happen?

I don't think this is just some regular casual news.

Media fixated on it because they had so much video footage, of the couple pulled over by the cops and youtube coverage of their 'van life.'

I think what everyone should take away from this is, not even animals who live in small dens, occupy those dens with a mate. Add unmedicated mental health problems, (and they threw away their meds before the trip because....nature, blue skies and they felt great just after they left)

From what I could glean from my limited time pondering the situation, they bit off way more than they could chew. They were both slap happy and physical with each other, from what the reports say. They were too young to take this on, or immature.

When they hit Wyoming, they were both probably fit to kill, it got physical and that never turns out well for any female partner.

Super tragic for sure. However, no matter how much choice video media had on them if they had been over weight and acne scarred, the story wouldn't have recieved much coverage at all.

Someone commented here that Gabby was a 'lovely girl,' when there is only evidence that she was lovely looking. She could have been a raving bat**** crazy monster, for all we know. Not meaning to be critical. When I first read about it, I thought the same, "Oh damn and she is such a 'lovely' girl!"

Had I been forced to live like a rat trapped in a coffee tin with a crazy person, (either one of them) God knows what I would have done, as a 19 year old.

Anyway, interesting but very sad story

I really appreciate this comment. So much gooood insight. Let's also add the element that she is trying to become a social media celebrity. I could really understand why that could create an instability in a partner and a relationship. All of the performing to create a certain atmosphere for their videos. Cartwheels on the beach and such. Instead of being in the moment, so much of it comes down making yourself look perfect in the moment. I see so many people looking at awesome beautiful nature locations that don't seem to be directly appreciating their experience, they are too busy recording it. Too busy being able to show others that they had this experience.

Then their is the whole empath completely good, narcissist completely bad programming, with nothing in between. When the cops pulled them over he was the one with scratches on his face. Would they have been treated the same way, like you said, if they were overweight or unattractive? Technically in most instances she would be charged with domestic violence for assaulting him. Particularly Gabby, with the classic pretty girl next door appeal, it's so easy to want to make this a good vs evil scenario and I don't think it was that way at all. I don't think there was any premeditation at all in this event.But that doesn't get you a lot of acknowledgment on social media doe it?

Another thing, eye witness accounts are notorious for being wrong.

Maybe this thread should be closed now, i don't see the point of keeping it going on.

It has been made clear now that Gabby is gone, and there's nothing else to do about it

There's a lot of suffering going on and i don't think this thread can go anywhere else but to derail into other topics

If there's something someone thinks may be related to her, then it may be possible to open a new thread for that. This one wasn't about it, as far as i feel or felt when i opened it

Thanks

Just saving these here as they relate to this very tragic tale.

The full Moab police department bodycam footage from the incident at the entrance to Arches National Park (Utah) on August 12, 2021:



The Bethune family dashcam footage from their trip through Spread Creek Dispersed Camping land (Wyoming) on August 27, 2021 showing Gabby Petito's van - stop the footage at 01:34 and play through to 01:36, and focus on the van. The film also skips a couple frames at or around the 01:40 mark:



The Brent Shavnore RAW 2.5k footage that he was provided with by the Bethunes: you can clearly see the van door being pulled shut, by someone. More eerily still it may well have been only Brian in the van then:

[Tintin]

And a Wiki source here which gives a fair bit of background of the whole story, as much as is available now some nearly 4 years later:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Gabby_Petito

[Tintin]

So we've got a little more completion, of sorts here, at least as a historical resource, some more additional footage here:

The last film we have of Gabby Petito. The Merry Piglets Mexican restaurant CCTV - they'd visited there we think earlier that day before being captured here - was apparently deleted, as the owners, back on August 27th 2021 perhaps needed to free up space on the tape, but certainly didn't think footage from that day was particularly important to hold on to. It wasn't known until September 11th that Gabby was missing.

CCTV footage retrieved from Whole Foods supermarket - August 27th, 2021

As we all of course have known for 3-plus years now both cases have satisfactorily been concluded by respective law enforcement agencies. The evidence long ago gathered, parsed, and much of the material now in the public domain. Recently some of you will have noticed that, although this thread had been dormant for quite some time, that I have opted to include some resources here that simply help, I hope, to complete, in some way, the record. This is of course what archivists do.

But what of the very human element to this story? This is in many ways a post-modern para-social psychological and spiritual Shakespearean tragedy that is so very emblematic of the zeitgeist. Two twenty-something people in love seeking an escape from the Covid-ian claustrophobia that preceded it, yet choosing for prolonged periods of time to be in a confined space of their own making (in their case, a small camper van), at the same time paradoxically exploring the wider open terrain and using that to explore further within themselves; the great adventure of life. Where natural landscapes collude with virtual landscapes, to inspire. To stir the pioneering spirit. To tell a story.

It has to be remembered that much of the attention that Gabby and Brian's story garnered was very much driven by the information space that we now inhabit. Not some dark conspiratorial agenda, or a deliberately scripted distraction from anything else, just the sharing of a genuine tragedy that touched the wider demograph - the digital natives if you like: other twenty-somethings in the main, who could immediately empathise; they saw a reflection of themselves in Gabby and Brian. They could identify with them. In psychological terms they'd formed a parasocial relationship with them. That the legacy media amplified this tragedy reflects how information is disseminated now, now more widely outside their (legacy media) control, and is good for ratings of course. Ratings dahling! Legacy media hasn't really changed much save for the technological means available that now accelerates the 'news'. It gathers its own momentum.

This is no more evident than what followed the arrival of Brian Laundrie to his parents' home in Florida in Gabby's van, absent Gabby, on September the 1st. Speculation naturally ran rife, and was the genesis of what became the 'Murder mystery'. Gabby had by that time posted her first video on her vlog (Nomadic Statik on YouTube) on August 19th, and beginning her ambition to become a travel influencer (or perhaps better stated, inspiration) little doubt inspired by other 'Van lifers' who had shown that with a little imagination, and planning, one could escape the confines, the suffocation of the months in 'lockdown', the soporific milleu of the regular day-to-day. Social media users smaller in number at the outset who had been following Gabby and Brian on Instagram would have eagerly awaited her first video, and they had now gained a wider audience.

(My perspective, for what it may be worth, sincerely thinks that the term 'social media' is an oxymoron and should be renamed 'para-social media'. Any one or more of us who communicate using this conduit instinctively develops this type of relationship, but it isn't social in any truly meaningful sense.)

From viewing the footage available one gets the sense of a person (Brian) exhibiting behaviours synonymous with a toxic combination of aggressive and vulnerable narcissism; the casual almost psychopathological distancing during the Moab police interrogation; the slamming of the door in the parking lot of the Whole Foods supermarket; impersonation of Gabby in texts that suggest that he'd taken possession of her phone, likely forcibly perhaps for two whole days, and further suggesting coercive control behaviour. (Conjecture: had he done this to force her from focusing attention away from content creation, and engagement, to manipulate focus back onto only him?)

But what made him this way? Upbringing? A culture that demoralises the masculine and emphasises the anima? The resultant disempowerment? The free-floating rage that may ensue? The injunct to lash out and identify as the victim? The creation of a Frankenstein?

It seems to me at least that Gabby was a victim of someone who was, or who certainly became, a malignant narcissist, who was gaslighted, and the tragic denouement that ensued was maybe heartbreakingly all too inevitable. From his notebook entry where he'd manufactured a "mercy killing" narrative, clearly exposed following the coroner's findings from Gabby's autopsy, the following would be axiomatic: narcissists rewrite history to avoid accountability.

The corollary is the Gabby Petito Foundation and its sincere good intentions, but I don't think that the fatal outcomes from domestic violence incidents is the predominant issue here, although it is of course critically important that this is addressed. Perhaps greater focus should be placed on how parasocial media is used - or rather misused/abused - and just how often this is at least a technological catalyst that produces these latent destructive behaviours.

This is really a cautionary tale that flirts ever so slightly with Aesop; a post-modern fable. Has the overuse of, engagement with, and exposure to parasocial media, replete with its highly addictive properties and amplification of those dormant aspects that lay within us all, of narcissism in particular, been the real catalyst behind what has happened here?

At the heart of this story there were two victims here, if one doesn't include the families.

One a murder victim; one a suicide victim.

I do hope to God that they have found peace now

Gabby's VAN LIFE video on YouTube attained over 6 million views posthumously, and, so, ironically in death she achieved what she'd aspired to do in life: to inspire people through her travel adventures. How heartbreakingly sad that she died how, and where, she did.

Here's a terrific paper which I have just found which expands very well on my personal perspectives shared (above) and some of the themes I've touched upon there.

Digitalizing Femicide : The Gabby Petito Case as a Technocentric Crime Narrative

___________________________

This is quite extraordinary, from a psychic, Lynne Sutherland:

Normally when I read a situation I DO NOT follow media coverage or research the situation prior. I go into readings as cold as possible so the information I get is not tainted by news coverage. This time I was just following the case with everyone else, so the psychic hits came in interspersed with media coverage. It is not a best practice, but I had no idea I was going to write about this and no client asking me to look into it.

I have known for weeks Brian was dead. Not much a stretch, a lot of others had come to the same conclusion. A couple days ago on October 19th I had just gotten up for the day. Like many people the first thing I did was head to the restroom. That is when Brian’s shade showed up.

Brian was in an emotional state. Crying he told me Gabby’s death via throttling at his hands was an accident. He didn’t mean to do it. Things went too far. Then he collapsed into a sobbing heap on my bathroom floor. I didn’t want him to remain there so I called in the guidance I frequently use in sorting out dark entities or unsettled graves. That appropriate archangel arrived and I asked what could be done?

A young, four or five year old Brian came out of the sobbing heap of wretchedness on my bathroom floor. He was still innocent and quite confused about being there. Toddler Brian asked the angel, “What is happening? Where are we going?” The angel replied Brian was going to see his grandmother shortly.

Sure enough an elderly lady showed up with her husband standing a short distance away from her keeping an eye on things. Toddler Brian recognized her immediately, called out “Bubbie!” and ran into her arms. I realize Laundrie is an English name and
Brian’s mother’s maiden name is an Italian one, so not sure why he used that particular endearment, but that is what I heard. She scooped him up and cuddled him, clearly delighted to see him. Brian’s grandfather joined them and they headed in the direction of a gathering group of late relatives who were there to welcome him home.

That left the sobbing wreck of adult Brian on my floor. I asked that wretched, ill, distraught shell be dealt with as I wasn’t about to live with it hanging about. The same angel collected the mess, brought it up to the face of God and it was dissolved. Thus the part of Brian that could be salvaged was. The ill, murdering, wretched part that could not was no longer in existence. I had never seen that happen with a human soul before. Dark entities yes, humans, no.
