I don't know if it is a divorce thing, a New York state thing or whatever; but I really disliked everyone in this.
Then you mix New York and Fla, and you have a tragedy.
The body language and tattoos and everything about these people was off.
Even the trip to where she died and everyone smiling, just seemed really off-putting.

Her parents should have flown out and picked her up and drove the van back after the Moab incident. That should've been the end of that entire trip. Sad deal

Watched this over the weekend. Sad ordeal. Can't believe they let that guy get out and kill himself. What a POS.
I don't know, I got the feeling she was very well oved by her whole family. Both step parents considered her their daughter, like they had a big role in raising her too.
People react to tragedy differently. If visiting the site gives them comfort and helps them cope, good for them.

A tragedy for sure. Brian is every bit the douche we knew he was instantly. Surprising somewhat to me was that Gabby doesn’t look great in this

She later had 6 days by herself in Utah while Brian flew back to Florida. If she truly felt abused she had the time and the privacy to talk to her parents, friends, or authorities. Even if she didn’t start conversation her parents and friends also had that time to talk her into leaving or getting help without Brian around. If she truly wanted to get with her ex instead of just contacting him when she needed extra attention or maybe to manipulate Brian at times she had the time then to sort through those feelings and talk to the ex.
I can’t remember for sure, but back when this happened I thought it was reported that no one in hotel ever really saw her leave her room much while Brian was gone if at all. I think that they were so co-dependent on each other that neither was going to leave what was obviously turning into a bad situation.

The conspiracy theorist side of me says Brian is still alive and on the run. The part with him sneaking out the house and his parents finding his remains right away just doesn’t add up. An extensive search party was out in the Everglades and his dipshit parents walk in a mile in and find his bones?

You know who else I didn’t like? Those two girlfriends of hers they kept interviewing. They were extremely goofy and awkward and seem like the kind that maybe hung out with her a few times but jumped at the chance to be in a documentary.
I wonder if one was the girl when Gabby was still considered missing got herself and her pictures onto a few Dailymail web articles and probably others.
That one seemed to jumping at chance for attention and/or didn’t really seem to know her that well. It was like she emphasized some events in their friendship that didn’t really seem to be that much of a big deal. At the time I went back and forth on her either completely being a attention seeker or being closer to a stalker who completely misread what her situation with Gabby was (with talk of one being a lesbian it now makes me wonder if she is the lesbian in the documentary).

Obviously a sad story, and the Laundrie kid was a huge narcissist. His parents were pieces of shite and the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
But like most things that end this way, why didn't her parents step in at some point and tell her to come home? It seems like another case of the parents wanting be their kid's friend rather than a parent

I think it may have been a situation where she had four parents but no really good parents. No one wanted to put their foot down with her and tell her to get her shite together out of fear that she would isolate them and turn to the other parents.
They definitely glossed over the fact that she was alone by herself for a while out west when Brian flew home. I can't recall if that was before or after the Moab incident. She could have easily left.
I would love to know how her relationship with the first boyfriend ended. How amicable was it?

Yeah the documentary missed alot of information. The thread on the OT was full of details. Her dad paid for that room on his credit card and could have just as easily spent that money on a plane ticket for her.
I think this was after the moab incident. The documentary was definitely one sided. Not that she deserved anything and yes, he was a POS but much more information in the thread.

People give the Moab cops shite for getting a hotel for Laundrie and leaving Petito with the van, but they did leave her with the opportunity to get away from the guy completely.

2 seperate incidents. She didn't have them at the time the cops showed up. The Pic was on her phone.
If I'm her parent, I'm in prison for killing Brian. As soon as I find out the van is at his house, Brian is coming out or I'm going in. No other option.
It's clear as day he called his parents and said he killed her. They lawered up. As soon as they found out it was a federal murder, he was fricked and parents and lawyer told him it's prison for life. He then planned to take his life and parents knew about it.
That's how they found him in 2 hours when the feds couldn't. They knew exactly where he'd be.

Abused women often don't help themselves, this is why the family should have stepped up and helped. I can guarantee you if my daughter was being abused, I would be to her in a matter of hours, no matter where on the planet she was.

Brian seemed like a huge, pussy weirdo…mommy probably babied him his whole life “I’m crying in the bathroom” geez kid, why is this chick fricking you when you act like an emotional lesbian?

I don't think you'll catch shite for that, I think it's accurate. She needed a parent to tell her she wasn't equipped to do van life with a boyfriend thinking she'd make money on youtube. I'm sure they regret it at this point but she needed better guidance and didn't get it. At the same time, she was 22 and could make her own life choices. I bet that is a really tough age as a parent where your kid is technically an adult but doesn't have an actual life plan yet.
she worked at taco bell for a bit and that actually paid for everything? no chance

Just finished this documentary.
A few points
1. The Moab cops gave Gabby every chance to blame Brian for the dispute, she admitted it. So no blame on the Moab cops
2. Of course our unfavorable element on the M/TV board would try to basically say she deserved it. Keep all politards on their own board
3. The parents are pieces are shite. Any lawyers here to say whether or not they could be charged with obstruction of justice?
4. Brian's story was he flew home, they found the van at the parent's house. They towed the van but didn't have probable cause? He lied to the police. Couldn't that be probable cause to enter the house?
I hope these piece of shite parents are hounded their whole lives for quartering a murderer. They should be charged. There's at least enough evidence to get them in civil court, right? Again, I'm asking for our resident lawyers to chime in
Now on to the JonBenet Ramsey documentary
