Has anyone else noticed the strange details in the Gabby Petito case that was covered in the recent Netflix documentary? The case of the couple who were vlogging their road-trip across the United States brings up so many questions.
The Police Interaction
First off, I’m not here to blame the police, but there are definitely some things that don’t sit right with me. The fact that they believed Gabby was the aggressor, despite her being in tears and visibly anxious, while Brian sat there laughing and calm, is wild to me. When they were pulled over, Brian’s behavior was off — he answered questions awkwardly but eagerly and seemed suspicious. Gabby had a bruised cheek and scratches on her, but I guess that wasn’t enough evidence to see that he was the aggressor. Even though the person who called 911 saw him slapping her? Police work at its finest.
Domestic Violence and Police Actions
The part that confused me was the police paying for a hotel room for Brian. After separating them, they took this man to a domestic violence hotel. Huh? As if he was in danger by his 90-pound, fragile girlfriend. And since when do cops pay for domestic violence hotels? I didn’t even know that was a thing until I watched the documentary.
The Racial Disparity
There’s also the racial component that can’t be ignored. I’m willing to bet no Black person has ever had the luxury of being offered a paid hotel room by police after a domestic dispute.
The treatment Gabby received, and the way the situation was handled, are glaringly different from how things typically play out when race is involved. The media coverage alone was incredible. Everybody in the United States was looking for Gabby. But where’s the media coverage when a black woman goes missing? Yeah, Netflix talked about it briefly but they didn’t even scratch the surface. Not taking anything away from Gabby may she rest in peace.
The Delay in Reporting Gabby’s Disappearance
Now, I’m not here to judge Gabby’s mother, but I personally think if I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t have waited 10 days to file a missing persons report. My parents would’ve sent out a search party the moment they realized something was wrong, even if they believed I didn’t have signal. But white families seem to have different levels of worry when it comes to things like this.
The Laundrie Family’s Involvement
As the case unfolded, Brian’s family acted strangely. They refused to cooperate with Gabby’s parents and wouldn’t even answer texts about her whereabouts. So, when Gabby’s parents finally sent the cops to check Brian’s home, they found Brian had returned home with Gabby’s van — with no sign of her. When asked if they had seen the girl they told the officer to speak with their lawyer, which is suspicious in itself.
Then, a few weeks passed, and Gabby’s body was found. The documentary even portrayed her body as being “staged,” which raises even more doubts.
Shortly after, Brian disappears. His family claims he’s missing after going on a hiking trip, but why did they need to take a secluded hiking trip to discuss things? To me, it seems like they were trying to figure out a way to help him escape.
The Suicide and Staged Evidence
It’s even more disturbing that, after Brian’s death, a letter surfaced in which his mother stated that she would help him get rid of a dead body if needed and to burn the letter after he read it. I get family loyalty, but to be this unsympathetic to the parents of someone who just lost their daughter is incredibly cold.
Once Brian went missing, it was oddly convenient that his body was found so quickly. His parents managed to locate him after only an hour of searching — far quicker than the authorities had found Gabby. Brian’s body was fully decomposed, even though Gabby’s body remained intact. How does that make sense? And the fact that his personal belongings were perfectly surrounding the body? That’s too convenient to be real. The way his death was portrayed — especially the suicide note that shifted blame to Gabby and wished for animals to tear his flesh down to the bone — just felt way too exact. It all seems staged to me.
Conclusion: Brian’s Possible Survival
Based on all of this, I have to wonder: Is Brian still alive? All of these strange circumstances surrounding the case make me think that maybe he’s been hiding this whole time, and everything surrounding his “death” is part of an elaborate cover-up.
