I guess I’m just an old cynic, but everything about this story is fishy.

There are so many holes in the parents’ stories … One involves their change of his “last seen” date from September 14 to the 13th. Prior to that we had read that he, accompanied by an “older woman”, purchased a new cell phone at an ATT store. That was the phone that - surprise, surprise - he left behind when he skipped. (Obviously equipped with a burner phone and a sun charger.) There are no coincidences… The Laundries are a sketchy pair.

"It's quite sad, you can imagine as a parent, finding your son's belongings alongside some remains. That's got to be heartbreaking. And I can tell you that they are heartbroken."
Tell that to Gabby's family, you weasel.

Re #3, Bertolino really put his foot in his mouth. He tended to reflect the Laundries’s dismissal of the Petitos’s loss of their daughter, undoubtedly at their son’s hands.

Sorry, I don't buy it! All the time spent by the FBI looking for him, and all it took to find his Remains was HIS PARENTS deciding to "join the Search" for their son! Come on Man! Then his Backpack and note book is found. Someone said the Backpack was "dry". How can that be if it had been under water all this time? I think he killed someone else and threw the Body in the water (to be eaten by Gators). He conveniently left his Stuff to be found. He did this so that he could get the FBI off his Back! I also believe his parents are in on the whole plan!

Color me jaded. Not diminishing the horrible death of their daughter and the family tragedy, imagine if she was a center city Ute that disappeared under any circumstances. The media circus wouldn’t have bothered to cover anything.
Again, not diminishing the family’s loss.

Now that October has arrived in Florida, the rainy season (June through September) is over. There are some swampy, low lying areas that might have been underwater five weeks ago when searchers were looking for Laundrie in close to the same location. Water levels vary with the season. Perhaps enough evaporated to uncover the corpse. The parents apparently knew where he was, or close to where he was. Sordid story.

Re #5, that thought had crossed my mind. About the “remains”. As for the notebook and his belongings, had they been in his dry bag, they might have been dry - although those bags are not necessarily watertight if submerged for a period of time.
There is so much to unravel here. Some have expressed boredom. How can we be bored when a young woman is brutally murdered? Says something about us. Others begrudged the media attention when American Indian girls have gone missing and no one wrote about it. They should complain to the media. Still others said that no one writes about the murders in Chicago. (!) A big complaint was that she was white. No comment. It didn’t occur to any of them to pass on by and not read about this story. Surely no one was trying to censor what is posted here….
The publicity about this murder caused witnesses to come forward. One placed the van in the area where Gabby Petito’s body was finally found. A search of the entire Grand Teton National Park would have been hopeless. A benefit of public awareness was that a number - 5, I believe - of other missing person’s bodies were found. The first, a male determined to have been a suicide, in the first few days after Gabby Petito’s body was found. Public awareness and involvement is priceless. That it doesn’t work in Chicago may speak to reluctance to come forward as a witness in that community?

Since they were the ones supposedly hiding this guy, what better for them than a fake death?

So instead of just one of them going to jail when the lawmen catch up to the plot, looks like maybe three of them are, one for the killing, and likely two others for the false police reports and aiding a fugitive and wasting lawmen's time.

BL did not walk out and disappear into chest deep water, the chest deep water did not appear overnight...IF the parents had been forthcoming he would have been found before it got chest deep.
They KNEW something bad had happened the minute her son returned, alone, driving HER Van.
"We loved her like a Daughter"...BULL!! If she were your daughter you would have immediately demanded answers and brought in the Cops if you did not get them, even if her "brother" was the one refusing to tell you what happened..

Probably been dead a long time, like multiple weeks, maybe since shortly after he disappeared.

Posted from CNN because they were the only source that described lawyer Bertolino’s remarks. Tuesday night, the Laundries decided to call LE and the FBI and ask to meet them the next morning to search. Took LE straight to where Brian’s belongings and believed remains were found. Father even found Brian’s dry bag (a waterproof bag used by hikers) on the brush - that, when he was alone, so he took it from where he found it and gave it to LE, Didn’t want it to be picked up by news reporters, etc., etc.
Just too many coincidences, and Brian could not have survived there without help. Did they make a deal with LE?
