Look at the thread - lots of “Well, how do we know it’s murder?!” This thread has 280 posts, many of which have posts of the crap CT variety.
I’ve read the thread. Don’t worry, we all think you’re special and deserve a gold star.
We didn’t need 282 posts to figure out this was a murder, did we? Seems like a lot of low IQ posting going on.
The criminal investigation is just getting started. Police have a crime scene and body to process.
Police said a few days ago that Laundrie’s actions have made him a person of interest. He’s made the situation worse by disappearing.
Laundrie already has an attorney. It’s only a matter ot time and Laundrie will be found. AFAIK he’s still considered a person of interest. The decision to press charges will come after a complete criminal investigation.
Let’s hope Laundrie is found alive. This is already a tragedy for one family.
It’s quite likely murder, but it could also be either an accident or suicide and he panicked and did a lot of stupid things in response. I don’t feel any pressing need to reach a definitive conclusion, myself.
But then how can you claim to be superior to other people?
Easily! By not jumping to conclusions, I prove I’m superior to those who pass judgement on scant evidence. :smug:
Most of us were saying it was probably a murder. But we didn’t say it was a murder. Unless you are confessing to the crime, you didn’t have any more information than the rest of us.
I mean, really, you’re making a stronger claim than even investigators are at this point. I’m seeing a lot of headlines describing remains “consistent with” Gabbie Petito. It’s almost as if even though it’d be a really obvious conclusion to jump to that the remains are in fact those of Gabbie Petito, those with the most up to date information—being in the best position to evaluate the evidence—realize that there is less than zero value in jumping to the conclusion that these are the remains of Gabbie Petito, and she was murdered by Brian Laundrie at this point. It’s actually counterproductive.
If these are in fact the remains of Gabbie Petito and she was in fact murdered by Brian Laundrie, it’s double plus unfortunate that so many people with less access to evidence and zero need to do so have jumped to the conclusion of “he murdered her” that he has apparently felt compelled to flee.
I mean, wouldn’t it be really cool if all this time the whole world had just withheld judgment, the police had done their job in an atmosphere of “let’s just see what we find and hold off on pointing any fingers until we have the evidence to back it up,” and upon finding remains but before making the find public, had been able to swoop in and arrest the unsuspecting “person of interest” before the pressure built for him to the point he decided to do… whatever it is he’s done since Tuesday?
I say again, there is no credit for being “right” on insufficient evidence.
How do we know she was murdered? She could have been devoured by, um, chipmunks!

Quoting for posterity.
You guys are missing the beauty of asahi’s clever plan. The rest of us are liable for extended jury duty. But all asahi has to do is show the judge this thread and he’ll be allowed to go home.
I’m a resident of Texas, physically in Michigan. I think I’m safe. Wherever this crime occurred—if indeed there was a crime—I don’t think it’s anywhere that I might be subject to being called as a potential juror.
Plus, if the prosecution reads this thread, I’ll never survive voir dire.
In the video in which the van was spotted, one can see the door to the van close at 1:30.
You can see her sandal behind the van.
Can’t see that. Where?
I see what you’re describing, but it’s hard to tell if that’s the door closing, or just the effect of the camera focus changing, the range, and the fact that there is a black ladder on the back that intermittently becomes invisible as the focus changes. The water droplet (or whatever is causing the blur) on the camera at that moment doesn’t really help.
As for the “sandal”… it looks like maybe a rock to me. If I’m seeing what JohnT is seeing.
Grand Teton National Park is home to gray wolves, cougars, black bears, grizzlies, bison, and moose, all of which are quite capable of killing humans. Of course, the number one macroscopic killer of humans is other humans, so that’s the way I’d bet, but it’s not a sure thing at this point.
It’s a sandal.
Here she is, wearing it:
I mean… the ground is strewn with rocks about the same size and color, and it’s in shadow…
