Van lifer goes missing on cross country trip with fiancee

He is almost certainly out of the country by now. Hiding in Mexico, some Caribbean island to the south of Florida maybe.

Well, shit. The body has been identified as being consistent as hers, pending a further forensic examination.

Person giving the press conference was pretty emotional.

Just as likely et by a gator. Doesn’t strike me as very smart.

Lol.

An OP I wrote eighteen years ago:

Or suicide out in the boonies.

I was hoping they’d find Gabby alive. I knew it was unlikely.

No parent should ever have to bury their child. Young people represent our dreams for a better future.

I’d like to send my sincerest sympathy to Gabby Petito’s family.

That seems very likely to me.

Drones with thermal cameras would find Brian hiding in that park. You can’t hide your body heat. I think he’s already dead and cold or they’re looking in the entirely wrong place.

Um, I fuckin told you all it was a murder.

Well, aren’t you a genius?

I’m beginning to think that I am, yes

I bow before your brilliance. Surely it occurred to no one else here or anywhere else in the United States of America that it might have been murder (noting of course that we don’t know that she was murdered).

Yeah well read the thread - lots of optimistic shit here just like elsewhere. I’m just repeatedly disappointed that supposedly “intelligent” people don’t have more brains than to engage in wild speculation that she might somehow be alive and/or playing a hoax.

  1. How do you know it was murder? So far as I know, no cause of death has been determined.

  2. Still no credit for being “right” based on insufficient evidence.

Bro, murder. It’s as clear as my piss after drinking nothing but water for three days straight

I’m just repeatedly disappointed that “supposedly ‘intelligent’ people” don’t have “more brains” than to arrive at conclusions based on insufficient evidence. That’s just not good skepticism.

It’s okay: if a dog is pissing on your leg, you don’t have to wonder if it’s rain.

If I tell you my leg is wet, you don’t have to assume a dog pissed on it.

Or that it’s raining.

Or that I’m in a swimming pool.

Or anything at all.

Well, it’s either a blindingly obvious conclusion which warrants not a single bit of braggadocio for having been made, or it was a brilliant bit of detective work which should be lauded the world over.

What it can’t be is both.

Congratulations for thinking the same thing that 99% of people thought? Your white house invitation is in the mail.

Also, finding a body doesn’t prove murder.
