- A year on, we know now that Brian Laundrie murdered Gabby Petito in Grand Teton National Park. This is the full story of the crime, the manhunt for her killer, the despicable actions of the Laundrie parents, and all else that happened from June of 2021 through November of 2022. We ask that you consider supporting the Gabby Petito Foundation in raising funds to prevent domestic violence the likes of which caused Gabby's death. Together, we can make sure the next Brian Laundrie never gets a chance to strike.

I feel awful for TJ, he went from watching a youtuber to his sister being the topic… absolutely horrifying- wishing him and his family peace
I suggest you look into the reason how the Laundies relationship with their lawyer. Since he was willing to lie or keep playing a way to not be honest with authorities looking for him and cooperate with Gabbys father and mother..
I love how as soon as Aiden gets decent exposure and gets a chance to help and boost a followers cause he does!!!
Good guy!! 👍. Xx
I laugh.
@@024shabutie420wow so edgy and cool
She wanted the bad boy, that thug D comes with a price
"Slipped and hit her head" that's literally the abuser excuse starter pack, such bullshit. Thanks for making this video and caring about the case. It's so messed up
A starter pack with a lifetime supply of put downs and LBombs!
Someone finally defending their self starter pack. Poor Brian
sounds legit, since he was pushing her and they fought together in the wilderness
Hey dental worker here- love the video- but wanted to correct something. Impacted wisdom-teeth don’t always cause pain. They do tend to lead to larger risks of infection, (especially partial impaction where gum-flaps have formed from partial eruption). However full impactions can go years & even lifetimes without bothering someone.
Mine were impacted and I never noticed until I went in for my yearly teeth cleaning
I had impacted wisdom teeth I felt nothing
Mines were impacted and no pain for 10 years til last year. Only 1 (top left) was causing pain. Took the dentist opinion to get them all removed.
I lived with that for years. No pain, but occasional swelling or soreness until I had them removed.
Mine were terribly painful!
Congratulations for calling out the Laundry family like that. Huge respect.
I cant tell if your being sarcastic 😭 they deserved to be called out but it sounds like your being kinda sarcastic--
@@Savannah_ishere I'm being serious. He spoke the truth that needed to be said.
@@GhostCrow666 oh ok yea
You wouldn’t protect your own family? They didn’t kill her, he did.
@Sniperboy5551 NO, not if they murdered someone. Wtf is wrong with you?!
The fact her neck broke is really shocking, i cant imagine how much pressure and trauma that takes to choke someone to the point of breaking their neck.
It’s an incredibly savage and violent action involved in that.
It’s like seventy pounds of pressure per square inch to do it iirc. I don’t want to look it up cause boy that looks suspicious, but I think that’s correct.
I haven't gotten there yet but it depends on which choke you use, we had a guy almost get disabled from a rear naked choke by a kid who couldn't have weighed more than buck 20 soaking wet
@@crocadillius6418The fact you know this is already suspicious pffffff
The bone they're talking about is the hyoid which only breaks in violent strangulation. For reference it's the bone that is broken in Epstein's neck that makes every forensic expert say that he didn't kill himself(which I agree with lol)
Hello! I'm a dental student and I can tell you that people can live with impacted wisdom teeth and not feel any pain. Usually these teeth are removed to prevent the pain or to cure the existing pain. Maybe he didn't want his teeth removed when he was first presented with diagnosis and wanted to wait until they started hurting; and it is also a possibility that he never experienced any symptoms (each case is very different). Hope this helped!
True! My uncle who was in his 80's, went to the grave with his!
Thanks for this comment! I’m 29 and have known about my impacted wisdom teeth since I was a teen/young adult and have lived comfortably with them to this day. I have no plans to remove mine yet. It’s very possible to live well with impacted wisdom teeth.
Yeah I know my teeth never hurt til.I started doing party items. But I finally had them removed when i was 39 yes old because I had all my teeth removed. But I don't want excuses made for this guy so I didn't say nothing.
Same here. My wisdom teeth erupted when I was around 21 and they hurt really bad for a few months and my front teeth got slightly more crowded. My wisdom teeth are all VERY impacted but have since stopped hurting completely and I'm 30 now. The only annoying thing about them is food gets trapped inbetween and it's harder to floss and brush them. My dentist told me when the nubs of them started forming in my gums and that I should get them out when he spotted them on an xray but I was and still am too scared to do it =/ they keep telling me to at every check up but otherwise my teeth are in great condition and I've never had a cavity
I literally came here to say this. I lived my whole life with impacted wisdom teeth until they removed them when I was 30, not due to pain, but decay. I had absolutely zero pain.
People like to slander Dog the Bounty Hunter because they see him as a reality show celebrity. But he actually puts in work when looking for criminals
Dude is awesome
That's... Not why they slander him. And it's not slander if it's true. But yeah, he's all about justice for Aryans.

As someone from Russia, I'd say this guy can blend in easily, especially in big cities. Firstly, in big cities we have everything dubbed in English, so you can find you way around without knowing russian, secondly, a lot of young people know English well enough to speak and lastly we have lots of people who look like him.
I can be taking the train with a murderer for God's sake and never know it
Also, this tory made it to Russian true crime podcasts too, so the community here is aware and on the lookout
That's good that people are on the lookout, unfortunately if he IS in Russia it's almost guaranteed he wouldn't face deportation given the current world situation.
He might face other things though... Russia's a big country with very big forests...

The guy is dead, stop being paranoid.
Stop being naive.
@@joeselsbury543 like what
I just he can and nothing else
I feel like everyone is overlooking the fact that some the Laundry staged real HUMAN REMAINS in a park. Where did they get human remains?! If the body isn't Brian, and I 100% believe that it isn't. It's so disturbing to me not knowing where and also why they had human remains that they could stage
Yes! I've been thinking the same thing! I feel like the remains should be discussed a lot further
Maybe they dug up the body of his twin baby brother in the backyard (sarcasm).
Wasn’t it just a piece of his jaw or teeth? Not super easy but possible enough to extract from a living person aka Brian.
@@JennifuhhGilardi good point. Who wouldn't give up a couple teeth if it meant escaping with your freedom.
@@JennifuhhGilardi they figured out that he had shot himself in the temple so they had to have found an intact skull ad bare minimum
Jeopardy did NOT have to go that hard on an alligator question, but they did. They did that for Gabby.
The thing that makes my blood boil when watching the body cam footage of them getting pulled over is that Brian admits that the van is in gabby name, admits that she did not want the van to be moved, and admits that he took the keys and got into the van and locked the doors anyway. Forcing her to climb into the van through the window just so that she at least knows where her van is going and what it is being used for even if she can’t influence any of that.
The police threaten to charge Gabby for attempting to steal the van! A van that she owns! Like, what!? If any of the officers had even attempted to be impartial I feel like that things could have gone very differently. I felt this way from the first time I watched the footage when I hadn’t even heard of gabby or the broader missing persons case, I just watch a lot of body cam footage and figured it was another body cam video being recommended to me.
I got the "yea women are such drama queen pains in the a**" from these cops. Makes me so mad. Aren't they supposed to be objective?? Let's just side with the bros because we're dudes! (Sarcasm) 🤮
@@SalvadorButtersworth she was defending her property from a robber using pretty tame levels of force imo. If someone tried to carjack me I think I’d try to do much more than give them a paper cut for their troubles.
No one, regardless of your romantic relationship, has the right to just walk up to your stuff and leave with it. Especially if they don’t say when or even if they are bringing it back. Even more so when it is something worth tens of thousands of dollars that could potentially be used in crimes which would lead back to you. You have every right to stop someone from stealing your vehicle, maybe not with deadly force, but contrary to what many Americans believe there are levels of force between “do nothing” and “kill them all”.
@@SalvadorButtersworth in the video both he and gabby agree that she did *NOT* give him the keys. That he took the keys from wherever they were laying and just started the van.
Being an authorized driver does not make the vehicle yours. It just means that if you are driving it the insurance will still cover an accident. You don’t get to just arbitrarily take the vehicle whenever you want, especially without notifying the person who actually owns it.
There is literally zero evidence that she was abusive in anyway and there is literally zero evidence that he didn’t want to go on the trip. You’re genuinely just making this up because you can’t fathom a world where men can’t just indiscriminately murder their girlfriends when she starts acting up.
@@Mankorra_Gomorrah So you haven't seen the video evidence where the police tell her they're supposed to arrest her for admitting to domestic assault, because she scratched Brian's face while he was driving.
But I guess you also want battered wives to be arrested for driving the car to a shelter?
@@nihilismistheonlyway4680had cops do the opposite & believe anything a woman says bc it’s a woman, must be true. Literally had to spend thousands & have my name slandered before I could prove my innocence. Ex got mad made up a bunch of lies & then all of sudden I’m arrested & fighting a long legal battle. That I won, cops aren’t perfect, some will help out women, some men, hope you get one that helps you out
Hi! Dentist here. An impacted wisdom tooth just means a wisdom tooth that would not grow out of the gum normally or at all. It can remain in the bone with no symptoms for years until it gets infected. So it is normal for people to decide to not do anything about it until there is a problem.
Also a dentist, and I second this. I still think they faked his death, though
Not a dentist, but a moron who spent 14 years living with impacted wisdom teeth because I was scared of dental surgery, can confirm.
Annoying but livable.
Good to know that bc I was in doubt.
@@deptusmechanikus7362 Me too, 10 years
@@deptusmechanikus7362 Same here, thereabouts.
So, my mom lived with impacted wisdom teeth until her death. She had headaches and pain, but was absolutely terrified of surgery and refused to get them out. She passed away from cancer, partially because she didn't want to have surgery. All that to say, some people are stubborn enough to walk around with impacted wisdom teeth.
Some people are stubborn enough to walk around with ANY and all sorts of pain.
Some even believe they deserve the pain they have, so they will cling on to it. Even if it brings them excruciating pain.
It may be stubbornness or self inflicted abuse. Idn.
But what i do know. Is that i have been doing it to myself for the past 12+ years. I fucked up my back at my previous workplace. and never went to get help for it.
Because i believe I deserve the pain i have, due to my own past. This is the sort of pain, where you wake up in the middle of the night almost screaming due to the pain. where even walking causes pain.

I'm sorry for your loss.
May your mom rest easy.
(My Grandpa, passed from throat cancer)
As someone who unknowingly walked around with a piece of glass in his foot, I tend to agree.
It wasn’t even painful until it decided to burst out one day.
Edit: I also have impacted wisdom teeth haha.
I didn't knew I had these before going to the dentist. They didn't hurt me and I still have them. If they don't hurt removing them is kinda pointless.
@@MarvinHartmann452 exactly. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no apparent or immediate problems.
God I was so terrified to get my wisdom teeth out. It was so easy. I fell asleep, woke up, and they were gone
Officer Pratt talking to Gabby is so infuriating, it seems like he’s literally gaslighting her with her anxiety issues. Absolute bastard
SERIOUSLY!
hes telling her she needs to get out of the situation.... legit telling her to leave him... in context the cop himself just left his toxic relationship and is telling her that maybe they both feed off each others negativity IE not a good couple IE break up....
That's not true at all, he was being very genuine and trying to point out to her that she has the ability to remove herself from the scenario she's in.
Yeah I didnt see that. I seen a little girl finally facing consequence for her actions, and then get sent off. Sucks she got killed, but to play like she is innocent is dangerous.....in this case fatal.
@@jessegerard5752 how is she not innocent?
The police genuinely failed Gabby in this situation. The fact that they HAD someone report it, someone was there, heard Gabby say how she was being treated, and just let Brian go. It’s horrible, I feel awful for her family. I however, have absolutely no sympathy for Brian’s family. They are all absolutely evil from what we’ve seen; and the fact that they didn’t let Gabby’s family get any closure and let Brian get away just proves they are. I hope they all rot. Genuinely horrible situation; It’s awful this happened to her. I cannot believe this scumbag didn’t get arrested for abuse.
Not to mention how horrible that attorney was.
No, the parents failed Gabby. Stop passing off responsibility to strangers. Gabby had many problems before running into those cops. Most cops are crooked, that’s who you want to help a loved one??
@@DamianMercuriMost cops are not crooked. It's largely ones in positions of power who are. The average county level police officer is at worst somewhat negligent. Some entire counties do have corrupt police forces but those are not as common as it's made out to be. I find it incredibly likely that the second officer who responded to the call made about Gabby and Brian, who is known to have resigned shortly after this, did so due to realizing that he was working under a corrupt superior. A lot of people join the force out of a genuine desire to help other people, and stating that the majority of officers are corrupt flies in the face of the genuinely good and heroic people who risk their lives to help others.
@@765craven4 nah, most cops are crooked. It’s built-in to the job and a quota they have to meet.
@@DamianMercuri That's just plain untrue in most precincts, but attempting to inform someone so clearly stubborn isn't worth my time.
Fact: Over half of the states in the US have laws in place that prevent quotas from being used as an incentive for police. There have been cases where precincts still used them after they were banned but they are being weeded out and disciplinary measures have been taken against those enforcing them.
@@765craven4 boy, are you delusional. Cops are not helping anyone. The only people that defend cops are cops or family members of cops.
I have said from the very 1st day after they found "Brian", an overnight boat ride would've put him into Cuba before anybody even realized he was gone.
The fact that his father went into the preserve & went almost straight to the remains, tells you exactly who staged it, IMHO..
After all of this time, I'm still disgusted by the outcome of this case. Gaby was a bright, beautiful soul who barely even got to experience life. She was stolen by a sad, pathetic, abusive man-child. There is no justice here. My heart goes out to her brother, her parents, and her step-parents.. nobody should ever have to suffer the way they are, or the way Gaby did.
Why cant they do dna test on rhe body found?
@@wetpenguin there wasn't a body.. just a few scattered bones, not even the full skeleton. And a backpack with some of Brian's known property inside. He wasn't missing long enough to be completely gone, IMHO.
Absolutely started crying immediately when you said her little brother reached out. That’s so horrific. My heart goes out for the Petito family.

Thank you for partnering with Gabby’s charity to do a fundraiser for this video. So much coverage on this case felt exploitative. This is a great example of how to do ethical true crime.
This coverage and Kendall’s coverage is a blessing! 😌🙏 Some of the only genuinely respectful true crime case videos
Well said.
The respect for the Petitos that you delivered here was incomparable... The class and the heart felt sincerity was truly truly moving. I'm usually here for your great , missing people, stories. But after watching this I look at you in a whole new light. Bless you.. You are an amazing person
Except for spreading the conspiracy that he's still alive when not even Gabby's family believes that.
@@caseyw.6550 yeah that part made me raise my eyebrow too...
Having had a family member pass away under evil intent i gotta say your presentation is most worthy and respectful to all those who deserve it. For that i thank you and im a lifer subbed as of now. Thanks again
This all happened right as I was making peace with the abusive ex from 6 years prior. I was glued to the case, I saw so many things that people that weren't in that kind of situation don't see as clearly. The body came video was absolutely textbook... I am still livid.
For what it's worth, Brian didn't have to tell her to lie. It's all too common to protect our abusers. I think it's most likely that Brian had Gabby questioning her own reality before that day, that's how abusers keep us around. From that perspective - she either didn't believe he started it, blamed herself for the escalation, or intentionally downplayed his side of things because "he's trying so hard not to do this anymore." Just another perspective of course.
I also realized how close to being killed I was while following Gabby's story. I can't remember who it was, but someone covering the call that said they saw him grab her throat brought up a statistic- when an abuser strangles you, even just once, the risk of the victim being killed by said abuser goes up to 1 in 10. I was strangled to the point of blacking out on at least 3 occasions (my memory from that time in my life will never be clear due to the trauma). I wasn't just being abused like I thought, I was actually at risk of being killed and it didn't even dawn on me.
Anyone reading this that's looking for a sign: this is it. Get out. Don't wait. I was so lucky that me shutting down and dissociating made him leave instead of physically attack me. Please take care of yourself- you ARE important, you DO matter, and you WILL be loved by other people. There is nothing a person can do to deserve this, it is not your fault.
I'm sorry this happened to you. Glad you got out, and wishing you lots of healing and happiness in your future. Thank you for sharing your perspective
What you’ve said has been repeated over & over by family that were also victims of dv. They saw the same things, said the same things. I wish there was better training to help victims.
I’m so glad you got out & I wish you all the best in healing. ❤
NPD is a b
You are strong: you are not "lucky" that "shutting down" made him leave: our bodies/minds are powerful things, and it's likely that when confrontation/resolution tactics only put you in more danger, your protection instincts kicked in and did the thing that knew would keep you safest...a theory I have from my own stuff, but bottom line is, you are so much stronger than you even know. To get out of that situation by ANY means, makes you very brave, and I hope you model that strength to all those close to you.
Hi. I'm glad you're doing okay. I was dealing with the same. My ex convinced everyone around me (and me, unfortunately) that I was overly sensitive, a mood-kill, high maintenance, and hard to be around. I would excessively apologize, freeze up every time he made a very distinct face at me when I "overshared" or was "too loud," and knew that after every get together, the second we were alone, he'd yell at me for doing something wrong/making him look bad. I truly believed I was worthless, and I begged and pleaded for him to love me and stay with me because I didn't believe I deserved better. I'm so glad I'm out now, and I'm so horrified about how bad of a person he really was/is. I still see him in some of my acquaintances lives and I wonder how little they really know. I've made so many great friends since who daily reinforce that I am so loved and a blast to be around. I still wonder if I'm actually annoying, or if I'm not loveable (haven't had a bf since this ex... I feel lonely a lot), but it's 1000x better than when I was in that relationship. Everyday it gets better. Everyday I learn I'm worthy of love. But man, it's soo hard to see how someone could fall into that type of relationship until it happens to you. It is so so so scary.
I remember how after Brian's body was found, there were these idiots on Reddit trying to defend Brian, saying that Gabby was the abusive one and Brian finally fought back, and that he killed himself because he was a good person who felt guilt. I was so goddamn mad at humanity that day.
Don’t look at the comments here too hard, I’m afraid those dickwards are still around
Oh, they're out in these comments too. It's frustrating as all hell and a very worrisome trend.
@@Cavemanner the problem is if every fact of this case was the same but the genders were reversed you'd agree.
Even the videos op regularly makes reference to his gender mattering more when judging his actions.
These people come out because this issue has been made gendered and talked about in an exclusively gender biased way which opens up every fact of the case to bias.
@@MizuhanaVT you don't know me, anime pfp, so step back with making those assumptions.
@@Cavemanner I never said anything about you.
Maybe try and read other opinions next time instead of acting like a reactionary a-hole.
"Had the police been properly trained to detect a domestic abuse situation going on directly in front of them" is such an important issue to address.
May Gabby Petito rest in peace. Her story is a tragedy that has touched the hearts of people all over the world. She was a bright and beautiful young woman with her whole life ahead of her.
😢
Thank you, from a DV survivor, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. You guys are amazing. Thank you.
I hope you have been able to find peace and that your life is alot better after getting out of that situation.
I’m definitely on some cops bodycam footage crying during a speed stop while my ex is cool as a cucumber in the drivers seat. There are guys who do this shit all the time: they push you to the point of hysterical crying and right when you’re looking crazy BOOM theres an audience. GP deserved so much better, every victim in an abusive relationship deserves better.
Years ago my ex and I split up. I got a job where they covered health insurance. I asked my ex for the info about her family plan to see if mine had similar coverage and if the price was cheaper. So we meet up at a local grocery store (a family friend who was a lawyer said places with cameras are best) my ex throws the paperwork in puddle and then starts hitting me repeatedly with my suv door since I won't give over our child. She calls the police. Two officers arrive. She's screaming, crying and red with emotion. I'm calm and collected. The officers speak to us separately and then switch to see if they come back with different stories. They come back to me and I said "Both of us used to work here. There are numerous cameras here and we can go inside and review the tape. If my story is even slightly off from my version of events I'll peacefully go to jail. But when it shows exactly what I said occurred I want her arrested for assault and battery. Deal?" They both go and explain to her the ultimatum. She decines. Without even seeing the tape they just leave.
Not saying this is the case here in the video but too many people will easily look over a violent woman because it doesn't fit the typical narrative.
@@andred1235 your exactly right as abuse goes BOTH ways every day! However there were witnesses to him hitting her, as well as other instances in which he had treated her badly. So please, let’s not insinuate a murdered woman who had been witnessed getting hit and treated badly could have been the aggressor. Especially since he’s written a confession in his journal.
If Brian was cool as a cucumber why did the officer ask him if he was on drugs and if he was always that hyper?
@@jennyterrell6354 nope, the 911 caller said Gabby was hitting Brian. Gabby admitted to hitting Brian, and scratching his face while he was driving, and the police saw the scratches on his face. Stop making excuses for domestic violence.
911 caller said Brian was hitting Gabby.
I remember when they announced finding his body and the condition it was in… I immediately thought, damn they really faked his death. It’s insane. RIP Gabby, you are loved!❤
He returns home in Gabby’s van and police don’t consider him a suspect?
He’s the main and only suspect!!!
This tragic tale is another pile on the evidence juggernaut that needs to be taught to all our young people as they begin dating and courtships:
An abuser, a violent partner will NOT change for you. If someone's relationship with you includes physical violence, it's not going to get better or fade with time. Get out of that relationship, away from that person.
I mean.. it might. Certainly a chance. Is it worth that chance, hell no!
Just get out. That's what's the police was trying to get her to do.
@@MarvinHartmann452ewww you really just regurgitate information alpha males make up and throw into the argument to muddy the water huh? Victims of DV don't always just leave. Often times, they will keep going back to their abusive partners, take the blame for the argument getting out of hand, make excuses for their violent or erratic behavior, and then stay, often times until its too late. Even men in abusive relationships will do this. So tell me, if the genders were reversed, would you be saying the same thing? I don't think so. I think you're biased because the abuser in this case was a male, and you alpha males gotta stick together right? Classic sign of abuse is pushing someone until they feel they have to defend themselves, and once they've worked that person up to the point that they do fight back or defend themselves, they will calmly and cooly say "see you're being irrational, not me." He was trying to leave her in the middle of nowhere without her phone. I'd be fighting too if that was me. But you don't wanna look at that evidence. You want to see what you want to see. Yes, it was proven that she was strangled to death. Do you know how much rage it takes to break someone's neck while choking them to death? It's not just horrific, but it's also personal. The killer would have to be within arms length and right up in their face while ending their life. They are typically looking right into someone's eyes and watching the life drain from their face until they are done. And it's not a quick act. It takes a decent amount of time, otherwise, the victim just passes out and will wake up later. Long after they quit fighting for their life, they have to continue to squeeze the air out of them. That's personal. That's evil. That's vial. And you're defending that. Gross

@@DJVivie no, I've been on Missing 411 stuff for years and found him recently thru that so I've been sucking up his back catalog in general
Small world with you having such a close connection to the story.
As far as im aware this is the most thorough and accurate telling of events
I am inclined to think that Brian is still alive solely from the behavior of his parents. Consider:
1.) The first thing they did was take him on a "camping trip", which got him away and was a good excuse for him to have supplies packed.
2.) The family was incredibly obstructive and unhelpful, then suddenly began cooperating. I'd bet good money they were stalling and began to cooperate when they were sure he'd had a sufficient head start.
3.) As was noted, it makes no sense that Brian's parents just *happened* to find his corpse like that, but let's pretend we buy it. After the parents did everything in their power to hide their son, he apparently committed suicide. This would have gone against everything they did. Not only does it make them the least likely ones to find the body (as they would have had no reason to search for it), but I'm sure they would have had very loud, very public grief-stricken reactions. But his corpse was just... found. I don't remember much follow-up. Almost as if it was being brushed aside.
I wonder if the FBI is is watching the family to see if they are in contact with Brian.
Side note, but that "confession" note reminds me in the worst possible way of the way Brock Turner claimed things really went on the night he was caught assaulting an unconscious woman, which the woman he assaulted described as sounding like "a poorly written young adult novel."
If Brian isn’t alive then maybe the parents took him on a camping trip and killed him and then lied about it. That’s possible however the parents clearly went out their way to hide him in the first place so I don’t find that they would take him out. But I think that’s also a possible thing they may have done.
@@lovleyloner1487 It's possible, but doesn't make much sense. The only reason I could imagine they'd do that would be to cover up something suspicious they were involved in, and if that's the case, you'd think giving him to the cops or having the body being found in less bizarre circumstances would be better.
If Brian is alive his family found a cadavar, pulled a bunch of teeth from it, and then so chopped off BOTH his legs because 2 femurs were DNA tested and matched
@ZeldaQueen64 Not necessarily. Turning him in could still end up with his court case having an investigation that leads back to having questioning eyes on them. Also, he has no court case then they don't have to help pay
@@LB-ou8wt I haven’t followed very closely - but they matched his teeth and DNA from both legs? Like the state crime lab did that?
I think his mom probably had a much bigger role than anyone thinks. It makes me sick to my stomach because I left a very abusive relationship and his mom was the one that told me “ I’ll bury you in the backyard if my son needed me too…. That’s how much I love him and trust his judgment. “ who the fuck does that? I definitely think they faked his death also…what a disgrace of a family. Arrest them all besides the sister……it boils my blood that they made that poor family wait for months for answers. They should all be brought to justice. I love your coverage of this! thank you for your compassion while talking about her story!
The impacted wisdom teeth thing that you said struck me because it seems like a weird thing to get hung up on, people can live completely unaffected by impacted wisdom teeth
It's an easy mistake to make. A lot of people only find out they have impacted wisdom teeth because they start hurting, and once they start hurting they don't stop.
Yeah I never had mine removed, and my teeth are perfect and straight.
@@DeanJace0227i only had mine removed at 30 because it suddenly hurt and got infected. Never had any issues before that
Aidan I know you wont see this cuz this video is old but i watched my mom go through abuse for years and i appreciate the way you covered this.
I would not be the least bit surprised to find out that Brian Laundrie is still alive. Everything to do with that search had me thinking HUH???. I believe Brian's family is in the know and helped him. Absolutely disgusting. My heart goes out to the Petito family.
Oh most definitely! I’m sure we’ll have some kind of Brian sighting and the family will try to cover it up!
Didn’t he die?
@@spiritualgoodness902 ya he did
What really gets me in all this and I feel more attention needs to be given to the huge fact that gabby was living with these people!! Before she even went on this trip with Bryan. She was living with the laundrie family. They knew he was abusive to her. That poor woman probably lived in duress because no one in that home defended her. She was murdered by their son….she was their future daughter-in-law and they behaved like that….they didn’t give two shits about her. His behavior proved it.
I lived with my abusive ex and his family for 6 months when I was pregnant and just after. They had no idea I was being abused! But they were willfully ignorant, my ex was not quiet nor sneaky about the abuse. They wanted to see the best in their baby boy, they could never accept that he was an awful person or that they raised him to be that way. Today, 8 years later, he’s still in and out of their home and using class one substances, and they still think I belong in jail for having left him with my son and getting out of that. They have their own trauma which makes the lens they see abuse through skewed and I wonder if the Laundrie’s (sp?) aren’t in the same boat. Just do anything to protect the prodigal son who can do no wrong.
Makes you wonder if the family abused her also...
At least the mother.
Why's sures they did s ! Done nothing's toos help her ! Taking his sides all's the times ! Treating her like an outsiders !
You’re the best story teller/narrator i’ve ever come across within my life of listening to true crime. You’re clear and don’t ramble, you’re respectful as well. Much appreciated. I listen to these at work, and this is the first video of yours i’ve found. Thank you man :)
You haven’t met Mr Ballen yet. Believe me he’s not the best. Pls search Me Ballen
Probably my fifth watch-
This is your most powerful material.
Great integrity.
Great humanity; in your presentation.
Will be sharing and discussing THIS video with my youngsters.
Respect
I vividly remember when I first found out about Gabby’s missing case. I remember telling my mom immediately, she was working on her computer, and after I was done telling her everything about her and the situation, my mom turned to look at me and just said “baby, you do know these things end badly, right?”
And I literally just refused it. Gabby deserved better.
i remember hearing about the case and being disappointed, but not surprised that the cops didnt do shit. They couldve saved gabbie and didnt because the cop responding was an abuser himself. A common cop L that keeps consequenting in lives lost instead of lives saved its so damn frusterating
@@smoot9069
I don't quite understand why people think this is the cops fault. Gabby admitted being the aggressor, she should have been arrested. Instead, they cut her break and let her go. It appears an abuser cut another abuser a break but ultimately, they aren't responsible for this toxic relationship that ended tragically two weeks later.
The cops nearly arrested me when a neighbor that didn't even know us called. We looked a lot alike and even shared clothes so it's quite clear that said stranger had no clue who was who from so far away. I don't know if he guessed or the cops did but I do know that my first words were "it's not his fault, I was having flashbacks" and his were along the lines of "she just freaks out sometimes"
Any cop that doesn't treat that as the textbook tell that is is complicit. Period.
(PS: I'm seeing names from people that are often in comments defending the cops so reminder not to waste your time. They've had it explained, they aren't actually asking.)
@@emersonmanning6523 Truly curious, are you someone that takes what people say at face value?? Whatever was coming out of both Gabbie and Brian's mouths was clearly not matching their body language. If the cop had any sense (and I'm guessing he did and chose to look the other way anyways) he would've found the entire thing suspicious. Would it have killed the cop to just take Brian in for questioning??? Worst case is that he stays at a police precinct overnight. Not to mention, just bcs Gabbie claimed to be the aggressor does not make that statement true. She was hysterical and clearly trying anything to make it seem like it was her fault and that she'll do better. That's a victim right there; its crazy how the cop didn't see that
@@smoot9069
FACT: The cops don't make arrests based on "body language", they make arrests based on evidence. Gabby confessed, Brian was injured. Per DV Law, she should have been arrested and argued "body language" at trial. She was also determined to be the aggressor after an investigation into the stop so the cop was right. He was wrong for not arresting her and was subsequently disciplined for not doing so.
If a man admitted to assaulting a woman and she had injuries, would you be interested in "body language" or would you expect an arrest?
Its not uncommon for a victim to protect their abuser. They often have a strong sense of misplaced loyalty and deep emotional attachment. These good qualities are part of why victims don't easily leave. Abusive personalities seek out partners with kind hearts. They instinctively recognize the victim's vulnerabilities
That's why Brian protected his abuser. Even though the police were required to arrest her, they didn't because of her crying act. She recognized their vulnerabilities.
22:42 that was the part that broke me, imagine thinking that your daughter could have had a life and maybe kids, only for it to be taken away by the very person you imagined your daughter happy with. Then you can’t even bury her? Thats fvcked up man
This is the most in depth review of this case, BRAVO! ❤
Strangulation is the (or one of the) most common ways that a DV victim dies from. The whole thing is a plain case example of DV. Thank you for covering this, and rest in peace if you can Gabby
Have you seen her entire autopsy report?
I have not no.
@@MsMtheory No one has. It has not been released to the public.
Ok so then why ask? I'm confused as to what point you are slowly getting at.
@@MsMtheory You don't have full information as to how she died.
This case is one of few that make me emotional. And I do definitely believe that he’s not actually dead. I think his parents, especially his mom, deserve charges.
Charges for what?
@@sr2291helping their son cover up a murder
@@chiefinasmith How do you know they did that?
@@sr2291 did you watch the video?
His remains have been Identified by DNA + dental records
I firmly believe that the Laundries know what he did and helped him cover it up. Maybe not the sister, which would explain the parents trying to throw her under the bus, but the parents definitely know and helped. I think the video of the van door closing is because he had just finished killing Gabby and wasn't expecting anyone around. I believe that he went home and confessed to his parents and they took care of what happened afterwards for him.
Do I believe he's alive? I'm not sure, to be honest. I don't like the tooth identification but the DNA...I don't know how you could fake that successfully enough to fool the FBI if they were involved, you can fake DNA results but I would like to think the FBI would see that...though knowing the history of the FBI maybe not. I believe that his death was not at his own hand, abusers are essentially cowards so I doubt he had the balls to take himself out and begged his parents to do it for him. Most likely the mother, but possibly the father pulled the trigger, not at the park but somewhere else, somewhere hidden so that he could decompose while the FBI and everyone else looked for him in every other place. I agree with you that the dad went to the park to search, not for his son but for a place to put his sons body, because I believe he was dead at that point. After the dogs searched and left, he then brought his sons body to the area that had previously been under water, because anyone in that park the day before would have found it, if not by sight then by smell. Because believe me, the scent of decay is strong and very noticeable! How did it get decomposed so fast? Not sure, but if it was in a hot area with local scavengers that might be a good clue.
I think his parents are just as evil as he was and would totally be capable of killing their son and hiding his body for a while, then miraculously finding him and the "suicide" note, which I think was written by him but was a story concocted by his parents, to get the focus off the family, and put the blame fully on him. Gabby did not deserve to die, I hope the Laundrie family gets what's coming to them, I hope they get arrested for their part in all this, at the very least I hope karma kicks them squarely in their throats and makes them pay for the rest of their lives. And if he's still alive somewhere, I hope not, I hope he's really dead, but if he's alive I hope his life is a living Hell and that justice comes for him eventually.
Aiden, I am so sick of Chis Watts, Tony Todt, Jodi Arias and a list that just keeps growing every day. I HAVE seen some Gabby "True Crimes" and did not think I was good for yet another one. You do an OUTSTANDING job here however. I was glued to every G D word. KUDOS
To be honest, I have always hated the true crime genre. The theatrics and lack of respect that is widespread throughout the genre makes my stomach turn. Your video felt more like a video essay than a true crime recounting. Your outrage was well placed and I appreciated your candor. It’s good to see you used the video to raise money for the foundation as well. I am impressed with this and look forward to seeing more from you.
Exactly the same. God I hate when people tell true crime stories as if they were some scary ghost stories to tell your friends to make them gasp. Theres a lot of true crime youtubers like that. Could never stomach how they could do that.
people that no one needs are the ones with "make up and true crime" channels, that's just sick. Anything bad that happens to those people is 100% deserved.
@@chubbydinosaur9148 I agree that the “makeup and true crime” and truly just retelling any horrid crime while doing another activity weeks of disrespect. These stories should not be told with that type of nonchalance, in my humble opinion. However, I must respectfully disagree about your last statement. I don’t wish harm on these other true crime creators, however tactless their content may be. I think that you probably wouldn’t as well and that your comment was written in anger. Perhaps if I had watched a creator retell a story personal to me that I might feel differently, but I can’t in good faith wish harm on anyone.
@@Mienarrr You’ve captured it exactly with the scary ghost story vibes. It’s self indulgent and purely for the entertainment of the audience. It’s hard to watch for me honestly so if I am going to watch a true crime video, I try to aim towards more respectful creators. However it could also be said that even these types of creators are ethically grey. I just feel better about it.
Same.. But to be fair, there are a few channels that do a VERY professional job because they have legal and psychological experts on their team. They're so well respected that even victims and/or the family of victims have allowed themselves to be interviewed for the videos.
..but the people who cover true crime stories like they're covering pop culture gossip are absolutely disgusting.
Hi! Daughter of a dentist here:
Impacted wisdom teeth are not necessarily painful. You can live your whole life with impacted wisdom teeth and not need them taken out, it depends on the patient 🤗
Depends on the situation. I am dealing with my fourth right now. Your dad is a dentist, so yours were probably pulled before they erupted.
Look up the definition of impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth are horrible. They hurt like hell.
Yeah. Got told a few months ago that I had one. It doesn't hurt though, never has. Therefore, I don't see there being any reason to have the surgery unless it's necessary.
@@letsdothis9063like she said, it doesn't always "hurt lile hell". Some people can live with it
@@letsdothis9063 I have impacted wisdom teeth in the lower jaw and it doesn't hurt at all. I can even use the part, that on the surface.
They did hurt, or rather the gums hurt and bled when they were still growing. It was like once in 3 month. Until the age of 16, but then at all stoped and now it's perfectly fine.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen and i got to tell you dude. You earned a subscriber!! Especially after you condemned Brian and his coward family. Bravo Sir! Much respect to you
Something that terrifies me is that two things could have happened here
1. Brian's family bought a human skeleton that matched Brian in height
2. They modified it to look like a suicide attempt
They allegedly used someone else's body to protect their son. That's some eternal fire tier shit right there
Came across some weirdness in a case I’m researching right now too; I’m convinced that wasn’t him. I don’t know how they pulled it off, but that sure as shit wasn’t Brian.
As a DV survivor, I’ve had cops talk to me the same way. Including trying to make it seem like it’s my fault.
That scummy lawer. Puts the c in creep, he looks like that dude in the movie powder. I'm sure he hangs out at a Turkish bathhouse trying to troll on the towel boy
Probably were only doing that to pressure you to say what really happened. It's a tactic often used with suspects when what happened is unknown. They try to make them seem like the perp so that they get uncomfortable and say something else even if they're not the perp
That's what bothers me most about this case. They treat her like the crazy woman aggressor. So sad.
Cops are overwhelmingly ineffective by all measurable metrics
@@G123. she was the crazy woman aggressor, as she admitted. She attacked him, abused him, and scratched his face while he was driving, and she admitted all of that to the police. You just hate men and don't care when they're abused.
I always found it fishy that they found his body right away, but authorities couldn’t. Then the question is, who’s body did they find?
Powerful episode. You earned by sub! I really like how you handled yourself and relayed the information to us in this video. Great job! I hope Justice is served for Gabby.
You're a good friend doing this for your buddy. As well as domestic violence victims. Respect.
I study forensic anthropology and I just want to add in some info about some of these things - I apologize for the long comment but I felt like I could provide some insight.
1) Age estimation can definitely provide those broad age ranges and depending on the examiner you may have slightly different opinions on where an individual falls in that age range and that chronological age (how old you are in life) can vary greatly from the skeletal age (how old your bones look) depending on different life style factors and existing conditions. That being said the Milner technique isn't mentioned at all in my human osteology textbook. And from a cursory search it seems that the method has mixed results in terms of accuracy and precision. I'll have to look into it a bit more to give a clearer idea of how it stands. On the other hand, the age estimation techniques of Lovejoy, Meindl, Man, Iscan, and Suchy-Brooks are some of the most reliable with high accuracy and precision rates and they are what we are trained to use. Additionally, you never use only a single age estimation method as different areas of the body can be more prone to larger age ranges than others or even completely different age ranges because of human variation.
2) Technically you could identify someone using dental records even with several teeth missing, however they would have to have very unique dentition and dental work for that to be possible.
3) While water slows the decomposition process, once it is removed from the water the rate of decomposition will increase, especially in a place like Florida. That being said, it's a very short time frame for the alleged level of decomposition. Technically possible but not very likely
4) If there was animal scavenging from basically any animal, his body shouldn't have been intact. Full stop. While its not clear if intact means all of his remains were recovered in a small area or if his body was basically complete in the same position he died, I interpret "intact" in the second way. After ~5 weeks out there? His remains would've been scattered and many unrecoverable. Especially if they are alleging coyote/canine predation. Coyotes have been known to take bones relatively far distances and into dens. The minute the water level fell enough, coyotes would be on that fast.
There's definitely something weird going on. Either the reports and examinations have been done by someone who has never studied forensic anthropology or pathology in their life or that's not Brian Laundrie.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, that's all really interesting and helpful in understanding.
(I've also learned that all my dental work could be helpful if something happened to me and I couldn't be identified. At least all those dental problems have some use ig)
Wow. I'd just like to sincerely thank YOU for taking the time & for actually putting in the effort- with verifiable evidence (that being your mentioning of the resources which YOU used to provide us with this information- which is already far more detailed & sounds much more accurate & current in term#s of "the way things are done today" & there's probably a -damn good reason why he "corrected" his initial findings to ensure he arrived an age range closer to the 1 he was "supposed to" the first time?!?
I really am on the fence if its brian or not. I lean more to the side that it isn't. There just isn't any way.
As someone who had a family member not be found right way I can see both sides ! My mother was found dead and apparently she was dead up to 5 to 7 days before being found. The thing about body's its hard to determine everything accurately if a body is sitting around decomposing! Also the results will vary wildly depending on who examines the body. Some coroners go above and beyond while some do the bare minimum required. Its a hard pill to swallow my suggestion is always try and keep contact with your family folks !My mother was unrecognizable after being found and this was inside a house .I cant imagine being outside in the elements!
Whoever did Brian's body it could be as simple as lazy work. If its not Brian my only question is who is it and was this really all a act to allow Brian to escape! To set up a death like that would be on a pretty extreme level !
I don’t think it’s Brian. I think Brian successfully hid away thanks to the parents and the cops were under pressure needing someone to take the blame the foundation body and said hey that’s Brian. But I don’t think that body is Brian.
True Crime Loser had a good point about the whole “I already knew they were dead” statement. Murderers always becoming experts in death after they murder someone. They’re always asked, “why didn’t you call the cops? Or try and save them?” & they’ll always say “I just knew they were already dead.” Chris Watts said it, Shayna Hubers said it, Brian Laundrie said it. He’s an abusive piece of shit & I really hope her family gets some actual justice. Thanks for your coverage.
Yeah, but plenty of non-murderers say that when someone they love goes missing.
@@userequaltoNullnot really. Most innocent people will try to save them in whatever way they can or will call the police immediately.
Not saying you’re wrong or excusing anyone who is part of this crime, but I lived with an impacted wisdom tooth for quite a while and it never hurt.
this is THE best info on Gabby that I've watched so far ...thank u SO much ❤🙏 Justice for sweet Gabby
Domestic violence is not about having anger problems, it's all about power and control for the abuser. They isolate their victims, and treat them like property as opposed to their partners.
Thanks derp.
I see, no domestic dispute was ever caused by anger. Thanks for the criminology update, professor.
I definitely agree! “Anger problems” as an excuse for domestic violence is always an intentionally nebulous term, they use it not only to diminish their agency/culpability, but it’s also an omission of the fact their anger and violence is related to their incessant desire for power and control (which as you said, is the root cause of domestic violence) their angry outbursts are to either establish power and control over their victim or to prevent their victim eroding it or outright escaping it.
Whenever they claim to “lose control” what they really mean is THEY lost control OVER their victim and that’s what caused their angry outburst and subsequent decision to use violence to regain that lost control. Killing their victim is the ultimate expression of their power and control over them, especially when their victim has proven to finally be beyond all their previous methods of control.
Um I'd say it's usually both. Anger problems are real too.
They put themselves into that predicament.😅😅😅😅😅
You made me cry by the end. Yes. This is very important. She was my age. She could´ve been my friend, my sister, my cousin, my neighbor. She was a human being who was abused and murdered and disrespected even after death. Her family deserves closure and deserves justice. Thank you for this video and for your words.
She could of been my little f toy. Sucks really
I am so numb to everything now these days and am so indifferent, that I just have hard time to bringing myself to care much anymore and expend time and energy on thinking about others traumatic circumstances.
At least Gabby got to have breif eventful and at least temporarily exciting life.
None of that ever happened for me.
@@LordMalice6d9 Maybe because, instead of trying to have an exciting life, you wallow in sadness and allow yourself to be numb.
Just food for thought
Could have been you. And there is never closure. When someone you love dies, you life is profoundly changed forever
She was a little older than my baby sister. I cried all the way through this case because she reminds me so much of my sister. I took her out after Gabby was found and told her to please just come to me if she ever felt like she was in danger like this
I don’t believe Gabby lied about the fight. She was being gaslit into believing she was the one that had something wrong with her and everything was her fault. Physical abuse is facilitated by mental abuse and the mental abuse has you questioning everything you know including who you are.
I think what you guys are doing on this channel is absolutely wonderful! You are brining alot of things to light that that otherwise wouldn't. As soon as I am able, I will be supporting this channel. I will be encouraging others to subscribe. You state fact and do extensive research. Much respect from MI!
This case still angers me to this day. Brian, his evil parents and the incompetent police all make me rage! This is actually the best video I have seen on this case, amazing, thank you
My Grandmother’s house was about 2 blocks away from the Laundrie house and I was with her during the time of the protests and the Federal raid. One of the craziest experiences I’ve ever seen and I feel horrible for the Petito family.
Lol, sure.
Thank you for your honesty and your heartfelt message. RIP Gabby 🙏
My ex boyfriend was shouting & threatening me so I pushed him & he gave me a black eye. The police did nothing in England apart from take me home with my dog. He didn't get charged or anything
Like the rest of the world, the body cam footage from the police officers unsettled me. That constant apologizing through crying while the boyfriend remained cool and collected was all too familiar to me. I was never in a domestic abusive relationship (and I’m not trying to make an claims that what I went through is worse or anything. Just wanted to share my experience) but I was in a long term emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissist. While the relationship “officially” ended 4 years ago, he finally started leaving me alone 2 years ago, and all the stuff he’s said to me, the way he would twist things for his benefit still effects me now. Towards the end of us having contact, when he noticed his hold on me was really slipping, and I demanded he leave me alone and asked why he treated me the way he did, he finally said it. It was cause I let him. I’m still working through his abuse in therapy now, so if you’re also a victim reading this, it’s not your fault. I know it’s hard To not think it, I still struggle with this now, but hopefully with time we can get through this,
Anyway, because of what I went through I noticed the same signs everyone else did. My stomach was in knots seeing all this play out in the news cause I could just feel it in my body that this mf abused her, murdered her, and was now getting away with it. It’s also unsettling how I’m not the only person who believes he’s not dead. When that news broke that they found his body, it just didn’t make any sense to me, but the case was really triggering for me, so I had to stop looking into this story for my own mental health. It kept messing with my progress in therapy. But in the back of my mind I kept thinking it. He’s not dead. He got away with it. I tried pushing those thoughts out cause since I was avoiding looking into the story I kept reassuring myself that there’s more info out there that would probably explain why he’s really dead. I’m just now able to come back to this story. And to see others also believe he got away with it…..just heartbreaking. Gabby you deserved so much better. I hope wherever you are, you feel safe. Brian and his family (except his sister) Karma will get you. The rest of the world may not get to see it, but it will happen. And you’ll deserve it.
You saw the bodycam footage which showed scratches on Brian's face? You heard Gabby admit to the police that she beat and abused Brian while he was driving?
So you ignore the actual signs of abuse, and you blame the victim with your bitter hatred.
@@customsongmakerHarassing DV victims in a comments section while projecting your bitterness at the opposite sex onto them, real classy dude. Go to therapy.
@@JoeyisDREADfulYou don't think the police should arrest a domestic abuser when the victim is bleeding and the abuser admits to doing it?
@@SalvadorButtersworth I think they should have spoken to an actual expert who would have quickly identified the now murderer as the abuser and the shit you're currently calling abuse as reactive violence.
Both should've been dragged in to do so. But no, I don't think cops should just auto file charges for the easiest explination and do 0 actual investigating because I'm not stupid
@@JoeyisDREADful so you think it's reactive when an abuse victim kills the abuser
I said it before and I'll say it again, this whole story smells of organised crime. 'Van life' tourism makes for an excellent cover-up for smuggling, including things far more important than your regular drug or gun contraband.
UPD: If you're right and he is alive and escaped somewhere, it's almost certainly not in Europe or SEA because it's not that easy for an average family to get a guy on a transcontinental ship or flight with a fake ID. He's still somewhere in the Americas, and Cuba is the optimal pick because he could go there illegallly by boat from Florida.
Given how quickly the Laundrie's surrounded themselves in a coat of Lore Lodge Certified World's Slimiest Lawyer™ that is extremely plausible.
@@PlazmaticBrony Love this comment. Definitely a slimey lawyer.
It could also explain the random personal trip to the storage unit prior to the murder
Makes me wonder why the FBI wanted to find him so badly.
@Beth Jim Deep state connections, very very likely. Do we even know if it was really Gabby's body? What if he was human trafficking her? Gabby Petito who was in a video tribute of the Sandy Hook shooting...
This was a great story telling. Subscribed!
First video I've seen from the Lore Lodge and I'm now a subscriber. I really appreciate the research and passion you have for what you do. Donated $5 and will be watching many more videos. Thank you for what you do!
I was told by a dentist at the age of 20 that my wisdom teeth were impacted. I refused to remove them. That was 25 years ago and I’ve never had a day of wisdom tooth pain. Also, dogs are sometimes good at smelling things, but in my personal anectdotal experience, sometime they can’t track for beans. They are not perfect. Love your channel, you have a very calming voice!
Re. the impacted wisdom teeth, they won't always cause problems. Sometimes they just won't move, and therefore don't need removal. Not always the case, but in quite a few. I was a dental professional for 10 years, including working in oral surgery. I've also had my upper wisdoms removed due to impaction, but my lowers are also impacted but cause me no issues at all. Just a little point 🙂
This. I'm rocking my impacted teeth at 32, they're just unfortunate food catchers but otherwise just fine lol
I was gonna mention this. I had mine in for awhile and they never caused problems.
Until they did, and there's no feasible way anyone can go through that sort of pain on a daily basis for literal years. I had mine removed within days of them starting to cause problems.
So either he was just really lucky and they just kinda chilled out, or that isn't Brian's corpse.
Something similar happened to me. I saw my impactions on the x ray and saw the packet of infection. He said he was surprised I didn't complain of pain.
Same here, my bottom ones are just straight chillin, luckily enough
Mine were impacted as well, only reason I had them removed is because my mom (who’s a dentist) thought it would be best before getting orthodontics. I was 23 at the time.
I'm usually cautious to watch youtubers cover recent true crime cases, but this was incredibly respectful and supported a good cause. Good job.
thank you FOR THIS VIDEO.
Hi Aidan! I'm a masters student with an honors degree in Forensic Anthropology who has assisted with actual forensic cases as we were trained using cold cases and assited with active ones.
I nearly laughed out loud when you said the remains were found underwater, skeletonized and had carnivore predation marks. While not completely mutually exclusive, as you said, carnivores don't eat prey underwater. Also it is infinitesimally unlikely that no soft tissue would have been present on the body - not with how little time had passed from his date of going missing to the discovery. I can go on, but we'd be here all day.
As for the corrections - Depending on exactly what test you are using, corrections are made. However! This is done as part the analysis and not after the fact. The age estimate is very suspicious. Age estimates are hard, because so much affects the appearance of your skeleton. But rule of thumb for age estimates is that under 18 have smaller age ranges than 25+ because we go through predictable growth as children. Once you hit 25 ish you stop growing and start degrading. Unless you're using a very shitty, won't hold up in court style test, there should be no need for corrections. We have FORDISC and strict age estimation tools available for a reason.
The most horrific part of this is that an actual body was found. It might not be the Brian's, but who is it then? And why in all seven hells are the police and scientists in on it.
Side note: I've just discovered your channel and I am so glad to have done so. You speak of the victims so humanely and passionately. Thank you.
I doubt you’ll see this comment since I’m 6 months late to the party, but I found your analysis fascinating. I know nothing about decomposition, but I didn’t want to just take a random UA-camr’s word for it that a body doesn’t fully decompose in that short amount of time. I asked my gf (who is a nurse) about it-and even though she doesn’t know much about the topic, she was like, “I can’t, for the life of me, think that the tissue would break down that quickly.”
Although, one thing I haven’t heard mentioned from anyone is the temperature of the water. This was in Florida in September/October. Wouldn’t the water be pretty warm during this time? And if so, wouldnt that accelerate the decomposition process?
@@PinkRanger1105my guess is that his body was moved from the location that he killed himself (likely his home or that campsite) and then was moved to the water later to cover up his family's involvement. It's clear his family doesn't care about what happened to Gabby or Brian, they only care about making sure their hands stay clean even if it means helping their son take his life to avoid prison time.
The body was under water for a few days during a period of flooding, this guy is very selective with his 'facts'
@@jayuppercase3398 huge understatement. Brian's autopsy report is free to look at online in pdf
@@unropednope4644yeah, but isn't that report a little questionable?
I think you make some really compelling points here. I’m with you 100% on the Laundries at a minimum knew something bad had happened to Gabby when he returned without her. However, my reservation is with how the Laundries would have gotten a false body to stage in place of Brian. I’m not saying it’s impossible, especially if they are wealthy, It just sounds like it would be difficult. Then again, it could be a-lot easier than I realize I’m not sure. Secondly, whenever the feds aren’t able to find someone, I always attribute it first to incompetence above anything else. Especially dog the bounty hunter was seemingly able to find evidence that the fbi was not.
I agree. It's highly unlikely, almost impossible, that they would have been able to fake Brian's death. However, I think the Laundrie's were trying to do everything in their power to help Brian get away with it, but ultimately realized that there wasn't much they could do besides bide him some time and help him fabricate a bs story in an attempt to lessen the blow to both Brian's and the Laundrie family name before he took that "hike" to The Big Sleep.
Or... The family is CIA/mafia connected and they had help. The evidence that that's not Brian's body is too strong. Something's rotten in Denmark with this whole case. Are we even certain that it was Gabby's body that was found, or are we taking the fucking FBI on their word? It's a little too weird too that Gabby was an early teen actor in a video tribute to the Sandy Hook victims. And remember the murdered lesbian couple in Moab that was brutally raped before being killed exactly when Brian was in town? Local police said they'd investigate any connections between the cases, especially since witnesses said the couple described a "creepy man walking around in the woods" literally that night right before they were murdered. The state police jumped right in and said, "There is no connection!" How would they know so fast, and without any other explanation? You can't really prove a negative. Yeah, Brian was too confident, his family intensely sketchy. This whole thing is bigger than them, in my opinion. Ever heard of the Johnny Gosch case?
Well the FBI is utterly incompetent. As law enforcement goes they are.a walking joke but still this case just seems too big, too out in the open to do a fake body stunt. His family had money but it aint like they were world famous, high level, power people, they just upper class. They arent capable of some master plan like that
@@xenophagia There's a theory I saw that they were involved with organized crime, like smuggling using "van life" as a cover.
To my knowledge that's completely hypothetical, but it would explain being able to acquire a dead body... not "easily," but easier than a normal person.
They can’t fake his death UNLESS some fbi cops and the corner are all dirty. Otherwise it’s literally not possible. Because forensic science would clearly show that’s not Brian’s body. I think the parents may have killed him after hiding him and they are covering it up by saying he killed himself. Or they payed people off put a fake body and let Brian get away to “give closure” to the case .
Thank you 🙏 for this.
Excellent video. Love your channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know that it's hard to prove a guy is violent. Some abusers hide it from her for a long time,and then when they get married or she's pregnant, then the violence begins. I think Gabby probably didn't realize the situation she was in until way late.
That‘s how I had to summarize abusive relationships to my young children. „An evil man makes a woman pregnant so that she can‘t run away.“
It‘s also a proven strategy for female abusers, because everyone will hate the man if he tries to escape after that…

This video made me so sad. I highly reccomen reading the book Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft, it really opened my eyes to a lot of abuse tactics and I whish more people would recognize them, because the police camera footage is straight out of that book.
Thanks for the recc. It baffles me why someone who claimed to love me was so mean and said lies about me like he wanted everyone to hate me.
Great book

Does anyone remember the 911 calls that came from the Laundrie house prior to Brian going missing? I think there were two calls, one for shots being fired. It was quickly dropped by the media when the story got bigger but I've always wondered what was happening.
If I had to guess, that'd be where the lethal bullet wound in the corpse came from, because it sure as hell wasn't in the park on the 18th.
Just found your channel, you gave your opinion very tactfully. I like listening to true crime and hearing the facts but also people’s opinions. It shows that you’re into what you’re reporting.
Fascinating story. Thanks for sharing this content
If I even hit my gf , my dad would kill me for sure . If I killed her , stole her things , then headed home . My dad would arrest me and disown me himself . His family is sorry af for that . RIP Gabby……… Burn in Hell Brian
The police couldn't arrest Brian because at that time they had no probable cause.
One of the Northport Police officers said they couldn't just arrest Brian because he was only a person of interest, not a suspect. They had no proof he had committed a crime yet. If they did arrest and charge him with a crime after 30 days they would have release him and he couldn't be charged with that crime again unless new evidence came to light. And he could sue them for false arrest. The police have to follow the laws.
Rule 3.134 of the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.
@@sr2291 He never said the police should have charged him.
You seem to be awfully intent on protecting what is pretty obviously a murderer. I wonder why.
@Filip Ferenčak The Constitution and Florida law were protecting Brian's rights, not me. You are trashing the messenger. I posted the name of the law. Go research it.
@@sr2291 U posted it under a person's comment that didn't say anything of the sort.

I think the Laundrie's were definitely trying to find a way to get Brian off the hook in whatever way they possibly could. First, with their sleazeball lawyer, but realized that the body would be found soon, they're running out of time, and that getting him off the hook legally wasn't an option. Then, working in a rush, they tried to find a way to get Brian out of the country ASAP, but found that they wouldn't be able to pull it off, and that the furthest they'd be able to get him is to the local wildlife reserve (which is pitiful and hilarious). So they covered for Brian, biding him time, while he went "hiking" at said wildlife reserve and helped him fabricate a "confession" of events in a futile attempt to lessen the blow to the names (soon to be memory for one) of both Brian, and the Laundrie family as a whole, before he took that pathetic "hike" to *The Big Sleep.*
Personally, I don't think that the creator of this video's opinion of Brian faking his death with the help of his parents and lawyer, and what they would have had to do to accomplish that, is feasible at all. Nor is it realistic. I think the Laundrie's would have realized that too.
Regardless, this video was well done (unlike the Laundrie's attempt at getting their son off the hook or saving face), and I very much appreciate how the creator distinguished his opinions/theories from the known facts.
I think it would really depend on the money they had and what kind of contacts the parents, or more likely the lawyer, had. The video doesn't mention where Brian's parents work or what their financial situation was. Just from the picture of the house and them living in Florida, is doesn't look like they were rolling in cash. Middle class, maybe upper middle depending on the neighborhood. But I can't imagine a lawyer helping them fake a death or smuggle someone out of the country without a lot of money involved (which would be traceable by the FBI, so if that happened it's more likely that charged will be filed in the future) or some kind of close personal ties to the family. It's not easy to get out of the country unseen. The easiest way to get to a place like Iceland or Cyprus would probably be to go across the Canadian border and get a ship from there, but again you need, at the very least, fake ID and money. So, depending on money and contacts, the likeliness of faking his death and fleeing the country goes up or down. I do agree with you though, the most likely explanation is his mom either helped or encouraged him to commit suicide, probably to keep her own involvement with covering up his murder from coming to light. From the info in the video, she seems like just as much of a psychopath as her son, maybe even more so. As for the impacted wisdom teeth thing, some people have insanely high pain tolerances. Living with chronic pain can also effect people's moods, so if he had been in that much pain for so long, that could be one reason why he was quick to anger and quick to violence, in addition to whatever else that was wrong with him that would make him the kind of person who would do what he did.
@Cy Kun With impacted wisdom teeth, they don't always hurt. Brian's wisdom teeth probably didn't hurt. I only had two of mine removed (the bottom ones) because it hurts, but haven't removed my top ones.
I love that you included those beautiful pictures of Gabby at the end. We often talk about the perpetrator(s) when it comes to true crime, we remember their names and forget the victims' names or that it's not just about the who, where, why and how of a crime but about the victim who has lost his or her life. And about their loved ones who must be going through a hell I cannot imagine. So thank you for that nice tribute at the end. ❤️
Spot-on analysis, sir!
Hiring a lawyer is hardly damning evidence of the family guilt. The bottom line is no matter now much you speculate about knowing intentions, a timeline of events and the describing the personal actions you were never around to see... the world will truly never know.
As someone who has been in abusive relationships before, as someone who has been there and felt stupid and made excuses for my partner's awful behavior and minimized the abuse to people who were worried about me; if you are in that situation, you are worth so much more than how they are treating you. And the people who are expressing their concerns about your partner, they aren't criticizing you for being with them, they are trying to reach out to you. Please, please let them. Don't let your partner make you think that everyone is your enemy out to separate you because you don't think they understand. Please keep an open mind and listen to what they are telling you, even if you still need time to process it.
I know you feel like your partner is your entire world right now, but believe me, that's not love, or the honeymoon phase. That's by their design. They want to make you feel small and isolate you from your loved ones so that you feel like you have to cling to them more.
And the romantic thoughts and feelings that feel so wonderful are your brain riding the euphoric endorphins you get when you're around them. Which feels great. But they make you want to overlook the bad things they do. The good feelings make you want to forget the mean remarks, or the emotional neglect, or the complete steamrolling of your opinions and feelings. The good feelings make you feel like you can endure the bad stuff as long as there's more good feelings eventually.
But the truth is that the good feelings will only get fewer and far between. They will drain every bit of your kindness and patience and understanding and leave you an empty husk of who you used to be. Eventually you just stop having the energy to disagree with them on things anymore. You just want to go along with whatever they say because you just want to prevent another blowup and just let it be a calm peaceful day as best as you can.
After that you realize, no matter how small you make yourself, no matter how much you try to cater to them and compensate and soothe them, and make excuses for them and walk on eggshells so that you do everything to keep from triggering another blow up from happening; ultimately, it's going to happen again. Inevitably, it's going to happen again. No matter how much you try to accommodate them; you can't control what they do. Because you aren't the problem, their environment isn't the problem, it's not your family or friends or situation. It's your partner. They are the one blowing up. They aren't the one tiptoeing around the house. They aren't the one constantly living with anxiety about what their next action is going to do to you. They are living it up on easy street because they have someone who is willing to bend their entire sense of self around them and their needs and getting paltry effort in return.
And if you keep catering to them. Why would they change? They have it good. They have the energy to fight and fight and fight until they get their way. And every time you try to console them, every time you come running begging for their forgiveness, it only reassures them and gives them the relief that you aren't leaving. Their greatest fear and insecurity is that you're going to leave.
But that's a problem with them. That's not a problem with you. My ex used to break up with me for no particular reason than because I wouldn't agree with him on every single little thing. This caused me to have panicking sobbing breakdowns begging him to take me back, until eventually he would. He did that to me 3 times and the third time I didn't come back crying on my knees. Instead I asked him, "why break up with me if you don't want want to break up with me??" And he just said "I just wanted to remind you of what you were losing,". That's when I realized, he was intentionally trying to hurt me, so he could feel validated and reassured when I'd come back crying on my knees. He caused me mental and psychological harm on purpose, so that he could feel good about himself that a pretty girl would break down for him.
That's when enough was enough. It took all my self control not to text him back and just cut him off because I still loved him then and was hurting.
But that phase doesn't last forever and you never realize just how dark and lost your life is until you get out of it and start living for you again. Do things you like. Make your own choices. Surround yourself with people that make you feel empowered, strong, and supported. Family, friends, community, there are so many support groups there are so many people who have been there and are ready to help you put yourself back together.
You are worth effort. You are strong enough. You have always been enough. Every criticism from them was them trying to change you into what they wanted you to be. Not any actual fault of yours. But you should celebrate everything you are, have always been, and will be. You are an individual genuine human experience and your life has innate value just by being here and being you. Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you have to earn it.
Abusers take advantage of vulnerable people with low self esteem, which we all get from time to time, we've all been young or naive or wanted to believe in the good in people. That is absolutely positively no fault of yours. What they did to hurt you is 100% on them and 0% on you.
If you are with a partner that won't give you space, that won't give you time to think, that won't let you go see friends and relatives alone, or makes you feel bad for wanting to, these are all glaring red flags.
Don't discount them. They will continue to pile up and things are not going to get better.
YOU CAN'T FIX THEM. ITS NOT YOUR JOB TO FIX THEM. ITS NOT YOUR JOB TO CALM THEM. ITS NOT YOUR JOB TO BE WITH THEM 24/7.
They have to want to change. And abusers almost never do. Maybe 5% of abusive people ever seek therapy and even fewer actually change and commit to those changes long term.
Real love is NOT "You complete me." Real love is, "I'm fine on my own. But I choose to spend my time with you."
If you feel like you can't live without someone, that's a sign you need some space.
You are worth effort. And one hit is too many. One blaring argument where you flinch because they are getting that loud and scary, is one too many.
You have no idea just how capable you are, you are strong you are powerful you are deserving of love and you deserve to live a long happy life making your own choices and loving yourself.
You have that capacity. You just need to reach out and ask for help. You are strong enough, you can do it. I believe in you. Please be safe.

@@FrenziedmerchantisaHomoyou’re foolish for assuming that a young woman can just “escape” a man who can THROW HER OUT OF THE CAR BY THE FACE. It has nothing do to with a “strong will”.
@@FrenziedmerchantisaHomoWhen someone is in an abusive relationship, whether it’s familial, romantic, platonic, etc, often times they are slowly and methodically broken down. Bombed with love and adoration, until it slowly gets worse and worse and they snap, beating or screaming the victim, then swear up and down it’ll never happen again bc and shower them with love. That is the cycle of abuse, and it is extremely strong and hard to recognize and leave. Right after being grabbed, she was still convinced he loved her. I have no doubt he pushed her into snapping against him and used it against her so he could come off as a saint, and likely showered her with love afterwards for taking the blame. If people could simply ‘have a strong will and leave’ abuse, very few people would die from domestic violence. But unfortunately that’s not how our brains work. A lot of the time, people need outsiders to call out the behaviors and help them recognize the abuse, which unfortunately, the one group that likely could’ve saved her, the cops, failed to recognize, or if they did recognize it, address it. They let her down, and she died for it.
@@FrenziedmerchantisaHomounfortunately there's a lot of reasons people feel obligated to stay in abusive relationships, financial support, reputation, anxiety, and too many others. It's disgusting you are able to sit on your ass and type this while never getting out enough to understand how some people's emotions work
