A 22-year-old New York woman who documented her cross-country van road trip on social media was reported missing by her mother on Saturday after her fiancé returned to their home in Florida without her, reports said.

Gabby Petito and her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, embarked on their road trip on July 2 from Blue Point, New York, Newsday reported.
The two were living in a 2012 Ford Transit van and documenting their travels on Instagram and YouTube, often using the hashtag #vanlife.
Petito was last seen checking out of a hotel with Laundrie on August 24. She last spoke to her family on the phone the next day, telling them she had arrived at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, her mother, Nicole Schmidt, said.

Her mother told reporters on Monday that she FaceTimed with Petito around August 23 or 24.
Petito's most recent Instagram post was shared on August 25.

Schmidt told Fox News on Sunday that she was unsure whether her daughter had left Grand Teton. She said she exchanged texts with Petito's number twice after August 25.
"I did receive a text from her on the 27th and the 30th, but I don't know if it was technically her or not, because it was just a text," Schmidt said. "I didn't verbally speak to her."
Laundrie eventually returned to the couple's home in North Port, Florida, without Petito, though it was not clear when he arrived, the Daily Mail reported.
The police in New York's Suffolk County said Schmidt filed a missing-person report on Saturday.

"Petito, 22, of Blue Point, is described as a white female, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and 110 pounds," the press release said. "She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and several tattoos, including one on her finger and one on her forearm that reads 'let it be.'"

The press release said authorities had recovered the couple's van during their investigation.
Petito and Laundrie had been living in North Port together for two years before they set out on their road trip, the Daily Mail said. Petito announced their engagement on Instagram in July 2020.

She could be anywhere as they were traveling cross-country. I put the location as the last place her family could verify that she was still in communication.

I believe they're talking about that camper that's in the driveway that was right next to the mustang until LE took the car away. It has kind of like stilts holding up the front part that would fit over the cab of the truck. I'm sure they used that red truck for it. The truck the dad uses as his every day vehicle.

Where's the camper now? Did it ever return to the house? Talk about leaving us hanging. 😤

I recall seeing a camper in the driveway on Monday, when the FBI was searching the house. It was visible on the livestreams. The post below includes a tweet in which the camper is visible, assuming it’s the same camper to which the neighbor is referring:

Stocking up the brand new camper with lots of food and supplies, driving it somewhere, and then just the parents return to Florida by another means? It is difficult to find a vehicle that is constantly moving around or parked in the middle of nowhere.

The camper was in the driveway on Monday, but even if it came back, it’s really weird that they would pack up and go camping for a weekend right after he came back without Gabby. Assuming the neighbor has their timeline right. So many strange behaviors on display with this care.

  • July 4 - Gabby posts photos of herself barefoot in Gove County, Kansas.
  • July 8 - Gabby posts photos of herself at the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado.

  • August 12 - Body camera footage was released in September showing an encounter Brian and Gabby had with police in Utah. Police confirmed that no significant injuries were reported.
  • August 19 - Gabby and Brian post a video on their YouTube channel chronicling their trip. The video receives more than 200,000 views.
  • August 24 - Gabby is last spotted leaving a hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah.

  • September 20 - Police execute a search warrant on Laundrie's home, seizing his silver Mustang and a hard drive that may contain "evidence relevant to proving that a felony has been committed."
  • September 21 - Officials announce they will be conducting an autopsy on the remains found in Wyoming to confirm whether or not they belong to Gabby. Police also resumed their search for Laundrie, this time on the Venice side of Carlton Reserve
So, if this timeline is correct then Gabby was last seen in Utah however her remains were found in Wyoming?

So where do the vloggers sighting of the van fit into this timeline? Do we know what day they captured their footage?

I lean more towards he's alive and hiding out somewhere. If he planned to commit suicide.. why go home first?

Maybe he thought his parents could protect him and when that wasn't looking promising he became suicidal.. 🤔 Maybe.. but why bring camping gear?(Assuming this was true. In a previous link in this thread, I remember reading that witnesses spotted him leaving with a camping backpack).

On Google maps, I see that there is a river close by the Babcock wildlife area near his house that eventually spills out into the Gulf (of Mexico).. he could had paid someone to take him to Cuba by boat 🤷‍♀️

We know he's too much of a coward to face what he's done.. I also get the feeling that he couldn’t commit suicide.

and the fact that he left pretty much as soon as that blogger posted about the van there and showed the footage. THEN his parents don't become even a bit concerned and wait several days to report him "missing" and even that story doesn't make much sense about "finding" the car there and then not picking it up until the next day, then waiting another day for the report.

One thing is that being on the run as a person with this many people looking for has to be miserable. :teehee:

Laundrie's Florida neighbors say family appeared to go 'camping' after boyfriend returned from Wyoming​

William and Charlene Guthrie live across the street from the Laundries' North Port, Fla., home​


The neighbors of the Laundrie family in North Port, Fla. – the would-be in-laws of deceased 22-year-old Gabby Petito – told Fox News Wednesday that about a week after Petito's then-fiance Brian Laundrie returned from the Mountain West, the family packed up an "attached camper" and took what they believed to be a long-weekend camping trip.

Charlene and William Guthrie told "The Story" that it has been a "nightmare" living across from the Laundries since Petito and later Brian went missing.

The Guthries said they only moved to the community, just north of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, in early summer. But within months their neighborhood was abuzz with activity.

"We didn't know it was Gabby's, we just assumed it was [Brian's] van," Charlene said when the younger Laundrie returned earlier this month.

"We just thought they had come back from wherever. We didn’t know they were on a trip. We assumed they went back to their house or wherever they got a house … We didn’t know much about them at all," she said.

The Guthries thought Petito was still living in the home with Laundrie's parents, which the Blue Point, N.Y., native had been doing since she moved to Florida to be with Laundrie.

William Guthrie recalled doing some yard work one day when the Laundries hooked what appeared to be a new camper to the back of their pickup truck – and didn't think much of it.

"I saw them doing some work. And then when they prepared for their trip, I saw them loading the camper."

They said the Laundries were gone "for the weekend" after packing up the new camper, and that when police later came to their home on what they were told was a missing persons case, they mentioned seeing the family go off for the weekend.

William added he found it odd that the parents would go off on a camping trip with their 23-year old son in such a small camper.

1:20 PM PT -- The Oskaloosa Co. Sheriff just released a statement saying they searched the area where the image was taken extensively and didn't find anything, or anyone, of interest. Cops searched using a drone, and checked nearby farmlands.

The hunt for Gabby Petito's fiance, Brian Laundrie -- who's believed to be the last person to see her alive -- may have broken wide open ... because someone thinks they spotted him about 500 miles from his Florida home.

Sam Bass says a man fitting Brian's description was seen on his trail camera set up in the wilderness in Baker, FL early Monday morning ... and he's alerted the authorities.

It turned out that wasn't Brian. To be honest I thought it COULD be him, with some more kilos due to Mom's cooking 🙈. I guess this poor dude will stop going for walks until Brian is found,lol.

Hiker caught on deer cam was not Brian Laundrie, Florida deputies confirm

The man seen hiking a rural trail in the Florida Panhandle was not Brian Laundrie after all, deputies in Okaloosa County said today, meaning the person of interest in the Gabby Petito case remains missing.
www.fox13news.com www.fox13news.com

From the article

BAKER, Fla. - The man seen hiking a rural trail in the Florida Panhandle was not Brian Laundrie after all, deputies in Okaloosa County said today, meaning the person of interest in the Gabby Petito case remains missing.
Calling it "mistaken identity," the agency said they know who the hiker in the viral trail camera image is – and more importantly, who it is not.
"The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has positively identified the individual whose image was captured on a deer trail camera near Baker and shared on social media, sparking nationwide speculation that it was missing North Port Florida resident Brian Laundrie," the sheriff’s office wrote Wednesday. "The OCSO has confirmed the man is an Okaloosa County resident who acknowledged he was the one walking on the deer trail carrying his backpack."
Tuesday, the agency said it was "actively checking" on a grainy photo that showed a man matching the description of Laundrie, who’s been missing for over a week. The Facebook post has since been shared over 45,000 times.
