Body Found in Wyoming Park ‘Consistent With the Description' of Gabby Petito - FBI confirmed - Brian Laundrie still missing, FBI searched his home

[Emperor Pupienus]

Joy Reid dismisses interest in Gabby Petito as ‘missing white woman syndrome’​

Why is everyone calling her white when her name is Italian?

 

[Traditional Tet]

The orginal post does not explain who Brian or his girlfriend are, or anything that would make them interesting.
At least link to his YouTube for fuck's sake. Worthless thread opening!

The thing is, you're calling for something else.

If his parents were hiding him, they were obstructing justice tho...

That´s a massive reach... from saying they could be considered felons by obstructing justice to justifying lynching, much more claiming this is the logical conclusion of my point.

When exactly was that? I even explicitly said you were reaching...

Wyoming is a conservative state and the death penalty is in effect. RIP to this bald coomer looking dude. If I were him I'd just end it.

Even in Wyoming you aren't going to get it without aggravating factors of some kind. A sudden rage killing, if that's what happens, is probably only going to be second degree. You need first with aggravating factors.

Even if she had a gun and this was self defense, just get your lawyer and tell the police first. He literally fled without a word to anyone.

Unlike hiring a lawyer, flight can be used as evidence of a guilty conscience.

It's officially a homicide. Although, only the mentally challenged would have predicted otherwise.

True crime began with the OJ Simpson trial but never gained any real traction until 2014, with the Serial podcast.

What you have from 2014 until now is a woman-led political movement to overturn the Constitution, in the name of safety and anti-racism. This movement is almost completely unaware of itself, which allows it fly under the radar.

If you read the YouTube comments about this case, true crime wine moms are saying that his parents should be arrested and put away forever, right now without a trial, and also that he should have been immediately arrested or put under surveillance when he returned without her. Like, they think a government AI should have detected that their cell phones were apart and immediately invaded their privacy. They want no due process of law at all. Not just in this case, but in any case. "We know he did it just put him away!" is the rallying cry for them around all super scary crimes.

Go through any true crime YouTube comments, you'll see a lot of totally normal people advocating for sterilizing the poor as well as putting people away for decades without evidence for very minor crimes.

Edit to not doublepost: a great example of this is the growing widespread support to overturn part of the Constitution that outlaws double-jeopardy. In other words, if you're clearly guilty but the prosecution does a poor job and the jury acquits you of the crime, the government should have unlimited chances to convict you. In Scotland, they overturned their double-jeopardy laws when a particularly cute young girl was brutally murdered and her dad was really sad about it. That's all it takes, cuteness, fear, and sadness. That's all it takes to lose your country's freedom in a snap.

True Crime did not begin with the OJ trial, even Court TV began three years before OJ murdered his ex-wife. The name “True Crime” is taken directly from True Crime magazine which started publishing in the 1930’s - take a look at their covers:

True Crime

The Best Of The Worst

pulpcovers.com

There were lots of other magazines in the true crime genre from the 1920’s thru the 1990’s, True Detective, casebook, Crime Detective, Detective magazine, etc…never mind the book stores and new stands always had dozens of true crime pulp paperbacks at any given time. Book stores and libraries had entire “crime” sections decades ago. The libraries might try to polish it a bit with the “Crime/Sociology” section.

The one thing you didn’t have was the same “true crime” material on network/broadcast TV only because it was seen as lurid, non-family friendly and therefore non- adverter friendly. They had to polish it up as “mystery” (unsolved mysteries) or investigative journalism (48 Hours) to run it. But the advent of cable TV and the internet solved that problem and give people as much true crime as they can handle on TV and computer screens now, instead of on the printed page.

People have always been ready to strip rights and scream for blood in the wake of a heinous crime, as the long history of vigilante justice demonstrates. Hell, public executions were big public events with refreshments and souvenirs. I bet only a fraction of the YT commenters today would go cheer at a public hanging or even have the stomach to watch a child killer be drawn and quartered. They just like to post catharsis comments and move on to the next outrage.

You do agree with me about the rise of True Crime as a genre and how it highlights people who would have never been highlighted otherwise.

No, you selectively ignored the point of my post.

Audiences are smaller and subjects are more niche in literally every genre now because of general shifts in media. It has nothing to do with "the rise of True Crime"; entire genres and mediums have been founded around that since the age of Penny Dreadfuls. It's always been immensely popular.

Just like how we've always had celebrity gamers since like the 80s but nobody had any way to watch you fuck around on your colecovision until like 2010, it's not because videogames suddenly became a fad ten years ago. Production and distribution channels have simply changed.
The audiences are smaller and spread out: those shitty late-night docs I remember as a kid probably had viewerships that would have been considered trash at the time, but would be considered astronomical today, and that phenomenon is the same in every genre.

So many Redditors in this thread.

Maybe I'm late, but they had been traveling for like what, 6 weeks?

Is there any indication how long they knew each other, or how long they were a couple prior to him killing her?

Just speculation here, but I would guess Brian and Gabby had fell in love very rapidly and this whole trip was his idea to get her alone with him.

Come fucking on though

They’ve known each other since high school.

They went to high school together but weren't really close, they started dating two years ago after reconnecting.

I don’t think he’s necessarily guilty (yet) until the final autopsy comes back, but it looks like it’s been initially ruled as a homicide.

Even if there’s advanced decomposition or animal damage, if there’s blunt force trauma etc or damage to the hyoid bone that could indicate strangulation, they could discern that from skeletal remains.

And they can tell pre-mortem injuries from post-mortem most of the time which is key in cases like this.

Personally I feel he’s guilty, but there’s still a lot of moving parts and he’s not even been found yet so I can’t give an opinion for sure.

 

[KiwiFarmerSimulator2021]

Why is everyone suddenly arguing like theyve got a blue tick. Ive noticed it on a couple of threads today.

Yeeeah, I have a feeling that Brian just got an upgrade from Person of interest to Prime Suspect in the eyes of the law.

It's a manhunt now bitch, he better give us a good show and go out guns blazing

Will be interesting to see what her friends and family have to say about their relationship up until this point then, did her behaviour change etc?

They look very happy on camera together, but as is well known plenty of these influencer types love to present a perfect life on camera, when really they're miserable and dysfunctional.

EDIT: FWIW I found this from her friend saying he was a controlling boyfriend.

Forensic pathologists are amazing, and the number of experts they can get in is equally amazing.

For instance, they could determine what part of a forest she was in when she died and if she's been moved by looking at the stages of fly larvae, and the types of fly larvae in her body.

Time of death is difficult to pinpoint, but if you know roughly the temperature, humidity and exposure to sunlight among other can narrow down a time of death - it's never perfect, but you can approximate a rate of decomposition with this information.

I think the issue is, if Brian knows what he's doing then all his clothes will be burnt to a crisp and that van will be in the bottom of a lagoon or something. He has an opportunity to dispose of a lot of incriminatory evidence - let's hope he's not too bright...

My advice for him would just be to top himself, otherwise he'll be in anal rape jail for the rest of his life.

Well, I stand corrected, I guess. I do think it's a drop in the bucket, like a comparing transexuals in the 1920s to the troons of our century. Just because it existed doesn't mean that it's the cultural and political force that it is in 2021. Do you think it's become insanely popular and prevalent in the last 10 years? That's how I feel.

I still think there's something new these days; maybe it's just the political movement of "the government should _____!!!" I feel like, at least that's new.

We're in full agreement. You're just explaining it from a different angle.

I posted the article as is to A&N, it was moved here by a mod and I can't edit the post any further or I'd add this along with the FBI confirmation of homicide.
