Domestic Violence (DV) is one of my passions. It is complicated and it is not as easy as people think it would be to escape the abuser.

DV is a passion for me because I have been a victim of DV. My mother was a victim of DV. Several of my girlfriends were victims of DV.

Trauma bonding happens in several ways. It is an insidious method that creates a sense of withdrawal. Sometimes, over time, the abuser can convince a person that they cannot and will never find anyone that will put up with us like they do. They will create honeymoon stages where the victim will feel like life is great only for the love and affection showering to be withdrawn again.

DV victims can experience an intense Stockholm syndrome. When the tether is severed suddenly, it is a shock to the system and psyche. That is the most vulnerable time for a victim because they can desperately desire things to just go back to the way they were during the honeymoon stage.

The grief that can be experienced is similar to dealing with the death of a loved one. Most especially so when the ties are cut quickly and suddenly. If the victim is hiding, there is fear that they may be found and the punishment will be much worse than if they would never have left in the first place.

There can be fear for family and friends being hurt as the abuser looks to lash out at anyone that may have been collaborating or helping the victim.

If things get to that point, the victim often tends to believe that everything is their fault and the fear they feel is very valid and very real.

As a victim and friend of several victims--it does get better. Yes, it can get worse before it gets better. However, it is much better than becoming another Gabby. We can escape. We can start a new life. We do not have to be tethered and controlled by narcissistic people. We can walk away and it can be okay.

Stay strong. Live strong. Help is out there.

Brian posts about downsizing on Instagram:

bizarre_design_

🦂 Downsizing our life to fit into this itty bitty van was the best decision we’ve ever made. With the limited space we wanted to take advantage of every inch, while also keeping everything minimalist. Definitely felt inspired by a lot of other #vanlifers on @youtube but we came up with a completely original layout. Barely spent anything on the conversation and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. #vantour coming soon! Sacrificing space to wake up in nature everyday has been no sacrifice at all.

After going on our first road trip across the country in my tiny car, we felt like there was just so much we missed. Turning this Ford transit essentially into a camper was such an adventure in itself, but I couldn’t love the way it turned out more! All the places it’s brought us so far have been amazing! As soon as we got to the Great Sand Dunes I didn’t want to leave, there was so much to hike! But as soon as the campsites on the dunes open up for summer they fill up instantly, along with the overnight parking permits. Lucky enough, I called at the right time when someone canceled!! and was able to score us a campsite for 2 nights overlooking the dunes. I’m so grateful we got such an awesome spot to spend the night and surf the dunes! And the night sky here was insane! never seen so many stars!

The past two nights camping in Zion have been so cool, literally. We hiked up here in about 100° and it was so nice coming back to our campsite, watching the sky fill with dark clouds, and view the lightning storm in the nice cool air of the light rain.

⛈. After leaving Colorado and getting stuck in a dust storm, We camped in Zion for 3 nights, watching the lightning and listening to the thunder from our tent. It’s really nice to go on 100° hike every day and feel the cold come in at night, waiting for the rain.

Also- everyone who walked by could not figure out how I climbed all these rocks

Rain sounds like a negative thing when camping, but after coming back from a strenuous long hike in the sun with no shade for miles, it’s nice to lay listening to the cold rain hit your tent and fight @bizarre_design_ for the blanket

@bizarre_design_ hikes barefoot everywhere we go! If it were up to him, he wouldn’t own any shoes! But I just find it funny how many people comment on the fact that he is barefoot. As soon as we reached the end of this easy walk, I kicked off my @sanuk , and this woman who seemed very concerned asked me if the crust was hot. I was in such a different mindset that this question fazed me. Even if it was boiling lava, I was just so happy to be there that I didn’t think about the sun. Suprisingly enough, the rocks here were cold! No not ice cold, but cool! magically the sandy smooth crust dosent retain any heat? So not only did it feel good because it was 100° with no shade, but it was tranquil. we always love surpassing people on our hikes, hearing them say things like “woah look he’s barefoot”
@bizarre_design_ inspires me everyday on living a more natural lifestyle!

On a calm Monday morning, @bizarre_design_ and I decided to take the highly trafficked hike to the Delicate Arch.
Not sure if it’s because it was 7ᴀᴍ on a Monday, but there actually were not as many people on the trail as I expected. After waiting on a short line for someone to generously take our photo, @bizarre_design_ and I made our way to the other side of arch (sᴇᴇ ɴᴇxᴛ ᴘᴏsᴛ)
We also camped for one night in Devils Garden with the cover off of our tent to fall asleep watching the stars, trying to catch a glimpse of the Perseid meteor shower
🌌
𝐹𝑢𝑛 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡 → I did not edit any of these photos (except maybe to brighten the exposure slightly) but only one person in the background of the last slide!
Also, during our hike I stepped off the trail up onto bare rock, just to take a photo of the view out of everyone’s way of the path, and a very nice man who I believe worked for @rei stopped everyone in their tracks and commented about my shoes asking me how I liked them, I felt like I was giving a small presentation to everyone crowding around waiting to continue on the path, all looking up at me while I’m standing on this rock describing how awesome these shoes have been! especially hiking with them on the #appalachiantrail while @bizarre_design_ hikes barefoot!
⌓ ͙⁺˚*･༓☾ side note ˚ this is not sponsored or an ad, although I wish it was (@rei )... But basically ALL of our hiking and camping gear, and also our van life essentials are all from @rei #reicoop

9-1-1 Call published 09/20/2021

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MOAB, Utah (KABC) -- The Grand County Sheriff's Office released new audio of the 911 call reporting a domestic dispute between Gabby Petito and her fiance, Brian Laundrie, in Moab, Utah.

On Aug. 12, police had an encounter with Petito and Laundrie which was caught on police body camera, and the pair was described as having "engaged in some sort of altercation," according to a report released by the Moab City Police Department.

Officers were called to reports of disorderly conduct and encountered Laundrie and Petito, along with a witness whose full name was redacted from the report. The incident occurred just several weeks before Petito was reported missing by her family.

Authorities have now released audio of the full 2-minute and 30-second call. Click here for the latest details on the investigation.

Read the full transcript of the call below:

Dispatcher: Grand County Sheriff's Office. Hi, can you hear me sir?

Caller: Yeah. Hi, I'm calling. I'm right on the corner of Main Street by moonflower. And we're driving by and I'd like to report a domestic dispute to Florida with a white that Florida license plate. White Van, gentlemen. 5'6 Beard.

Dispatcher: Where's it at?

Caller: They just drove off. They're going down Main Street. They made a right onto Main Street off Moonflower

Dispatcher: Or what were they doing?

Caller: But what do you say?

Dispatcher: What were they doing?

Caller: We drove by them. A gentleman was slapping the girl

Dispatcher: He was slapping her?

Caller: Yes. And then we stopped. They ran up and down the sidewalk. He proceeded to hit her, hops in the car. And they drove off

Dispatcher: You say that was a white van?

Caller: White van, I can give you the the license plate if you give me one sec.

Dispatcher: What kind of white van, like a big one?

Caller: It was a smaller van with the license plate of.. it was white. Florida license plate ... Ford model

Dispatcher: Black ladder passenger side.

Caller: White Ford Transit.

Dispatcher: White Ford Transit. Okay, what's your name? (Long pause) And where did they? So they turned. They headed south on Main Street from Moonflower Market?

caller: Correct. They made the right turn.

Dispatcher: So they went north.

Caller: North. Yeah. Sorry I'm not from around here.

Dispatcher: Okay. So you're right there by the post office.

Caller: right across the street. Yep.

Dispatcher Okay. And when they turned on to Main Street, they went right or left?

Caller: Right.

Dispatcher: Right. So they went north, north on Main. All right. I will let somebody know. Thank you.

"There's Two Witnesses" He Did Not Say Both Witnesses Were From Moonflower

# data[].attributes.body
My abusers, in a moment of anger no matter how controlled they may seem to be at the time, would only hear "two witnesses" AND "Moonflower".

Because the abusers and/or controllers would feel like they have lost control, it would be difficult for them to hear the distinction between two witnesses calling and "what happened at Moonflower." All they would hear is what they want to hear which is the people to blame for the inconvenience of losing control of the situation.

It wouldn't matter who the person at Moonflower did what, anyone affiliated with Moonflower would be yelled at, threatened, or made to pay for not minding their own business. That is their thought process. The mindset is that they can do whatever they want without any repercussions for their actions. The rules do not apply to them. The rules are made for everyone else except them.

At the same time, this is all speculation about what may or may not have happened. I do know from experience that, if I would have taken the blame as the victim to protect my abuser, it is highly likely that I would have focused on "two witnesses" and "Moonflower" as well.

People in emotional crisis, especially when the police are involved in a DV abuse case, will say things to try to gain control back. It's notable that Gabby takes the blame and convinces the police that she hit him first. It's also notable that Brian is placing the blame on Gabby and trying to not go over the top.

Brian is very controlled during the police stop. He even puts on his best puppy dog face when they're stopped. When the police got involved with my DV case, I swore that he would never hit me. He did. He also knew how to look very controlled, obedient, and non-threatening even though he had three black belts and could bench press over 300 lbs.

Abusers can be very skilled at trying to portray a very charming and demure personality. Notice how Brian tilts his head while talking to the police. Often, that is a signal of submission.

GABBY Petito's fiancé Brian Laundrie stayed in a $78-a-night motel after police stopped them following a domestic violence call, it has been revealed.
Staff at the Bowen Motel in Moab, Utah, confirmed the 23-year-old had stayed at the accommodation after police drove him there on August 12.

Bowen Motel confirmed staff have been co-operating with the police's investigation into Gabby's killing.

Laundrie was taken to the motel after Moab police decided not file any charges and instead separated the couple for the night following the roadside stop.

Bodycam shows that Gabby's fiancé told police he could not afford a hotel for the night.

So he was instead booked a room at the motel which is sometimes used for domestic abuse survivors.

SHOCK BODYCAM VID

Police in Moab pulled the couple over and spoke to them 13 days before Gabby went missing.

The police stop came on the same day a 911 call was made about a domestic violence incident, with the caller claiming to see Laundrie hitting Gabby.

Harrowing body camera footage was released by the Moab PD, showing officers pulling over the couple in their 2012 white Ford Transit van.

With tears streaming down her face, Gabby told the officer: "We've just been fighting this morning. Some personal issues."

Gabby was visibly distressed as she explained to the officer what they had been arguing about, while Laundrie was seen joking and laughing with the cops.

"We have been fighting all morning and he wouldn't let me in the car before," she said, telling the cops Laundrie "really stresses me out" and it had been a "rough morning".

Gabby admitted hitting Laundrie, who told the officers with a smile that he had pushed Gabby several times in a bid to fend her off.

Scratches are visible on his face and arm, according to a police report.

Elsewhere in the clip, Gabby is interviewed again while sitting in the back of the cop car.

An officer asks her if Laundrie hit her. She responds "I guess" through tears, and then clasps her chin in a grabbing motion to reenact what Laundrie allegedly did.

"He like, did that with his hand," she says, as the audio cuts out.

She adds that she suffers from "anxiety" and that Laundrie "gets frustrated a lot."

According to police, Gabby and Laundrie were reluctant to separate but ultimately agreed to do so.

They helped Laundie stay at the Bowen Motel while Petito took possession of the van.

The bodycam footage was captured 13 days before Petito was last seen in person.

Petito, who had been traveling across the country with Laundrie in their camper van since July 2, was last known to have been visiting Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on August 25.

She was officially reported missing by her mom on September 11, two weeks after she'd last spoken to her daughter on the phone, and ten days after Laundrie returned home to Florida in their van without her.

An autopsy performed on Tuesday confirmed that the body of Gabby had been found in Wyoming.

FBI HUNT

Laundrie is now being hunted by the FBI after an arrest warrant was issued for the 23-year-old.

Laundrie is accused of swiping a Capital One debit card and running up a $1,000 balance from August 31 until September 1.

The statement revealed that "On September 22, 2021, the U.S. District Court of Wyoming issued a federal arrest warrant for Brian Christopher Laundrie."

"No piece of information is too small or inconsequential to support our efforts in this investigation," the statement added.

Gabby's family is asking for donations ahead of her funeral to the future Gabby Petito Foundation.

Attorney Richard Stafford says they can be made electronically at: https://Johnnymacfoundation.org.

Gabby Petito's manner of death is homicide, the Teton County, Wyoming, coroner determined.

The 22-year-old went on a road trip with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, at the beginning of July and was reported missing September 11.

Laundrie, who is a person of interest in her death, went missing after returning to Florida.

Gabby Petito, the 22-year-old from New York who went missing during a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, died by homicide, according to an initial determination last month from the Teton County coroner.

The cause of death has not yet been determined, according to the FBI.

Petito, who is from Blue Point, New York, was reported missing on September 11 by her mother after she last made contact with her in late August. Prior to her disappearance, Petito had meticulously documented her and Laundrie's van road trip across the US on social media.

Laundrie, who has since gone missing, is a person of interest in the case, according to police.

We've constructed a timeline of where and when Petito was based on her social media posts and comments from her family.

Petito and Laundrie started dating in 2019 and lived together in Florida

Petito and Laundrie moved to North Port, Florida, two years ago, according to the Daily Mail.

They had been dating since March 2019 and got engaged in July 2020, according to posts on both Petito's and Laundrie's Instagram accounts.

She wrote: "Brian asked me to marry him and I said yes! @bizarre_design_ you make life feel unreal, and
everyday is such a dream with you 🤍."

And he wrote: "My biggest fear is that one day I'll wake up and it will have all been a dream, because that is what every second has felt like since the moment we found each other. Till death do us part or until I wake up, I'm so happy the answer was yes, Love you hunny."

But on Wednesday, Petito's mother Nichole Schmidt told the Daily Mail she believed the couple had called off their engagement ahead of the trip because they were too young to marry.

The couple embarked on a cross-country road trip in their 2012 Ford Transit van on July 2

The couple departed from Blue Point, New York, Schmidt told local NBC affiliate KSL.

Petito and Laundrie had been in Blue Point, Petito's hometown, for Petito's brother's graduation ceremony on June 17, according to the Daily Mail.

"She wanted to cross the country in the camper van and live the van life and live free. This was her dream," Schmidt told the NBC affiliate station KSL.

The trip was expected to conclude in October in Oregon, Schmidt told CBS New York.

Petito's first Instagram photo documenting the trip was posted from Kansas on July 4

The picture showed Petito posing between a rock formation at Monument Rocks Natural Landmark in Gove County, Kansas.

Laundrie also posted his first Instagram photos from the trip that day, showing their van.

On July 8, 10, and 11, Petito posted photos from Colorado

Petito next posted to Instagram on July 8 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Two days later, she updated her followers, posting a photo in southern Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

"After going on our first road trip across the country in my tiny car, we felt like there was just so much we missed," Petito said. "Turning this Ford transit essentially into a camper was such an adventure in itself, but I couldn't love the way it turned out more! All the places it's brought us so far have been amazing!"

Petito posted several photos from Great Sand Dunes later that day and again on July 11.

On July 16 and 18, Petito posted her and Laundrie camping at Zion National Park in Utah

She resurfaced on Instagram on July 16 from Zion National Park in Utah. In the post, she said she and Laundrie had spent the previous two nights camping in the park.

"We hiked up here in about 100° and it was so nice coming back to our campsite, watching the sky fill with dark clouds, and view the lightning storm in the nice cool air of the light rain," she wrote.

On July 18, Petito posted photos showing their campsite in Zion.

The photos showed the couple's tent, which was decked out with throw pillows, a blanket, a small guitar, and artwork of the national park created in the style of Vincent van Gough's "The Starry Night."

Also on July 18, Petito posted photos of her and Laundrie from The Narrows at Zion, including one of them embracing

On July 21, Petito posted from Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah

Bryce Canyon is about 72 miles northeast from Zion - about a 1 hour and 20-minute drive, according to Google Maps.

In a July 22 post from Bryce Canyon, Petito said it had rained every night she and Laundrie had camped in national parks.

"Rain sounds like a negative thing when camping, but after coming back from a strenuous long hike in the sun with no shade for miles, it's nice to lay listening to the cold rain hit your tent and fight (Laundrie) for the blanket," she wrote.

On July 26, Petito posted a series of photos from Mystic Hot Springs in Monroe, Utah

In one of the photos, Petito showed her and Laundrie kissing in the hot spring.

Another four days passed before Petito updated her Instagram followers. This time, Petito posted from Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah. In the post, Petito said that Laundrie hiked barefoot while on the trip.

"If it were up to him, he wouldn't own any shoes! But I just find it funny how many people comment on the fact that he is barefoot," she wrote.

"(Laundrie) inspires me everyday on living a more natural lifestyle! Building my feet up so I don't have to bring my shoes 'in case,'" she added.

She posted another photo from Canyonlands on July 31 before a 12-day absence from Instagram

She posted a photo on August 12 at Arches National Park in Grand County, Utah.

"On a calm Monday morning, (Laundrie) and I decided to take the highly trafficked hike to the Delicate Arch," Petito wrote. "Not sure if it's because it was 7 a.m. on a Monday, but there actually were not as many people on the trail as I expected."

Petito and Laundrie can be seen seated at the bottom of the Arch, kissing, in one of the photos.

The same day, she posted another series of photos from the same location.

On August 12, Petito and Laundrie got into a physical fight in Utah, according to a police report

Officers from the Moab Police Department said they responded to a potential domestic violence incident between Petito and Laundrie on August 12 after a man identified as Christopher contacted police.

The responding Officer Daniel Scott Robbins followed the van and eventually moved to pull it over, noting that the van was traveling 45 mph in a 15 mph zone, according to the police report. Then, the officer observed the van cross a double yellow line, switch lanes, and swerve to the right, colliding with the curb.

When Robbins approached the van, he found Petito crying in the passenger seat. He wrote in the report that she cried and breathed heavily during their conversation. She told the officer she had been arguing with Laundrie and that she was struggling with her mental health.

Laundrie also told the officer of an "emotional strain" and ongoing arguments between her and Petito. According to the police report, Laundrie said Peito struck him when she thought he was going to drive away in their van following an argument.

"After evaluating the totality of the circumstances, I do not believe the situation escalated to the level of domestic assault as much of that as a mental health crisis," Robbins wrote.

Robbins noted that Petito appeared to be in a "confused and emotional state." He wrote he recommended that Laundrie and Petito remain separated for the night to "relax" and spend time apart. While they both expressed they didn't want to separate, Robbins wrote, Petito kept the van while Laundrie checked into a hotel for the evening, according to the police report.

Another officer - Eric Pratt - noted that Laundrie and Petito "reported they are in love and engaged to be married and desperately didn't wish to see anyone charged with a crime." Pratt said both Petito and Laundrie told him that Petito suffered from "serious anxiety."

Police bodycam footage from that day showed Petito distraught and crying talking to officers. Another video from the same day showed Petito telling officers that Laundrie scratched and grabbed her face.

Petito was recorded apologizing to Laundrie for being "so mean" in an earlier fight. She also describes hitting Laundrie, which she said she did to get his attention that they were being followed by a police officer.

Laundrie, who had also been posting photos of the road trip on Instagram, ceased posting to Instagram one day later, on August 13.

Laundrie flew from Salt Lake City to Tampa on August 17, the Laundrie family lawyer told Insider

Laundrie went to Florida "to obtain some items and empty and close" a "storage unit to save money as they contemplated extending the road trip," the attorney, Steven Bertolino, told Insider.

Bertolino said he did not know what was inside the storage unit.

The couple launched a YouTube channel called 'Nomadic Static' on August 19

The channel was created in November 2013 but contains just one video, uploaded on August 19. It is registered with an email address belonging to Petito.

The eight-minute video is set to music and features a montage of their trip across the US.

The video also shows several clips of Petito talking to the camera about the trip, including one clip where she talks about heavy rain she experienced. In another clip, Peito puts together a container of yogurt, granola, chocolate, and blueberries with Laundrie in the background.

In that clip, Petito is wearing the same blue tank top and black shorts as she is in her July 30 and 31 photos from Canyonlands.

The video also features a clip of the couple appearing on screen together with Laundrie talking about setting up his hammock on trees in the park.

Also on August 19, Petito Instagram photos showing the interior and exterior of the couple's Ford van. In the post, Petito said she saw a man leave behind plastic trash on a picnic table. Unlike her previous posts, there was no location attached to the photo.

Petito's father said he placed an Uber Eats for his daughter on August 21 when she was in Salt Lake City

"There was a power outage. She said she didn't have WiFi, so I ordered her some food," Joseph Petito told KSL. "I know it was in Salt Lake City. It was the last time I spoke to her."

On August 23, Laundrie returned to Salt Lake City, his lawyer said

Bertolino said he believed the flight was paid for out of Petito and Laundrie's joint finances.

Petito's parents said the couple left Salt Lake City on August 24

Both of Petito's parents said the couple departed Salt Lake City for Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming three days later, on August 24, where they believe they spent about two days, they told KSL.

Schmidt said she last spoke to Petito when she received a FaceTime call from her on August 24 as she and Laundrie departed Salt Lake City.

Prior to her disappearance, Petito would FaceTime with her mother about three times a week while on the trip, Schmidt told CBS New York.

Petito posted to Instagram for the final time on August 25

The photo showed her smiling and holding a small crocheted pumpkin with the caption "Happy Halloween."

Like her second-to-last post, the August 25 Instagram post didn't include any location information.

The photos, however, appeared to be captured in front of a mural featuring monarch butterflies titled "Monarch in Moda" that artist Jane Kim painted at The Monarch, an "artistic hub" in Ogden, Utah, which is about a 45-minute drive from Salt Lake City.

Her family received texts from Petito's phone until August 30

Schmidt said that Petito last texted her about losing cell service in Yosemite on August 30, but said she didn't believe the message was from her daughter.

Petito said she was heading toward Yellowstone National Park, Schmidt added.

"She seemed OK to me at the time, other than I don't know where the relationship was going with the boyfriend," Schmidt told KSL.

Her mother reported Petito missing on September 11

The Suffolk County Police Department said in a statement on Monday they were investigating Petito's disappearance after Schmidt reported her missing at 6:55 p.m. on Saturday.

Police said the van the couple was traveling in - the 2012 Ford Transit van with Florida license plates - had been recovered.

Laundrie has not yet spoken with authorities and has declined to speak with the media directly, offering comment instead through a lawyer.

"We showed up. We see the vehicle. We take the vehicle," North Port, Florida, police spokesperson Josh Taylor told Insider on Tuesday. "We make an attempt to talk with Brian, and his family declined to make him available, and they gave us the information for his attorney."

In a statement Monday, the North Port Police Department called Petito's disappearance "odd" but said it had no evidence that a crime had been committed in North Port.

Laundrie issued a statement through his lawyers on September 14

"This is understandably an extremely difficult time for both the Petito family and the Laundrie family," Steven Bertolino, the lawyer representing the Laundrie family, said in a statement to Insider on Tuesday. "It is our understanding that a search has been organized for Miss Petito in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming."

"On behalf of the Laundrie family, it is our hope that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is re-united with her family," the statement continued. "On the advice of counsel, the Laundrie family is remaining in the background at this juncture and will have no further comment."

Petito's family also released a statement on September 14 imploring Laundrie to help with the investigation

"Brian is refusing to tell Gabby's family where he last saw her. Brian is also refusing to explain why he left Gabby all alone and drove her van to Florida," Petito's family said in a statement to Insider through their attorney Richard Stafford.

"These are critical questions that require immediate answers," the family said.

A GoFundMe fundraiser created by a family friend to support the search for Petito has raised more than $27,000 as of Tuesday evening.

On September 15, police named Laundrie as a person of interest in Petito's disappearance and the families released more statements

North Port police said at a news conference Wednesday morning that Laundrie returned to the Florida home where he and Petito had been living with his parents on September 1, 10 days before she was reported missing.

Authorities repeated Wednesday that Laundrie has refused requests to be interviewed by investigators.

Also on September 15, Petito's family released another statement calling for Laundrie's help.

"Brian, your silence is reprehensible!" a family lawyer said. "We beg you to do the right thing and help us bring Gabby home. Brian, whatever happened in Wyoming, happened. The only thing you can control is what you do now. Tell us where Gabby is. You tarnish your love for her with your silence."

Laundrie's lawyer put out another statement on Wednesday, reaffirming that Laundrie would refuse to cooperate with the investigation.

"In my experience, intimate partners are often the first person law enforcement focuses their attention on in cases like this and the warning that 'any statement made will be used against you' is true, regardless of whether my client had anything to do with Ms. Petito's disappearance," the statement from Bertolino said. "As such, on the advice of counsel Mr. Laundrie is not speaking on this matter."

On September 17, police said that Laundrie had gone missing from his family home

North Port police spokesperson Josh Taylor told CNN that Laundrie's family informed authorities he's been missing since Tuesday, September 14.

"We've been trying all week to talk to his family, to talk to Brian, and now they've called us here on Friday, we've gone to the home, and they're saying now they have not seen their son," Taylor told CNN. "So we are working through those details as we speak. It is another twist in this story."

The Laundrie family attorney later told Insider that Laundrie went missing on September 13, and not September 14 as the family previously said.

Taylor said the interaction was the first the police had with the Laundrie family since Petito had been reported missing.

Laundrie's lawyer confirmed the reports, telling local reporters Friday: "Be advised that the whereabouts of Brian Laundrie are currently unknown."

His attorney also said that the FBI had gone to the Laundrie family home and removed some of Brian's items.

His parents told authorities Friday that he left to go hiking at Carlton Reserve and never returned home.

North Port police Monday said they had "exhausted all avenues" in searching Carlton Reserve for Laundrie.

Authorities said they found a body matching Petito's description on September 19

The body was found at a remote campsite in the Bridger-Teton National Forest.

During a news conference on Sunday night, FBI agent Charles Jones said "human remains were discovered consistent with the description" of Petito near the Spread Creek Dispersed camping area. An autopsy to confirm the identity of the remains found will be conducted Tuesday.

The body was discovered not long after family travel vloggers Jenn and Kyle Bethune uploaded a video to social media recorded from a GoPro camera mounted on their vehicle that appeared to show a van matching the description of the one Petito and Laundrie were traveling in.

The video, captured August 27 around 6 p.m., showed the van parked on the side of a windy road in the Spread Creek Dispersed camping area. It appeared there was no one inside the van at the time, Jenn Bethune told Insider.

She submitted the footage to the FBI around 1 a.m. Sunday, she said.

It's not confirmed whether the van in the video is Petito's.

Brian Laundrie's parent's home was searched by authorities on September 20

Police and the FBI swarmed the North Port, Florida, home on Monday morning, removing Laundrie's parents from the residence and declaring the home a "crime scene."

"The FBI is executing a court-authorized search warrant today at the Laundrie residence in North Port, FL relevant to the Gabrielle "Gabby" Petito investigation," the FBI's Tampa office said in a tweet Monday.

Laundrie's parents were removed from the home and placed in a van outside the residence, according to on-the-scene reporters. They were later returned to the house about an hour later, according to media reports.

On September 21, the FBI confirmed that Petito's body had been identified and the 'initial determination for the manner of death' was homicide

The FBI's Denver office confirmed in a tweet that the human remains discovered in a remote area in Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming belonged to Petito and the manner of death had initially been ruled a homicide.

"The cause of death remains pending final autopsy results," according to the FBI.

Not alot of biodegradable packaging for on the go food these days, that’s why I stick with my melon rinds, apple cores, peach pits and banana peals. Also most melons contain around 90% water, talk about hydration. Lets keep plastic water bottles off the trail or better yet off the planet #melonvibes #archesnationalpark #ecofriendly

Humans are primates, great apes in fact but I don’t know all how great we are as a species. Chimpanzees share 98.8% of there DNA with humans, our closest living relative, but as I see it every living creature is in some way our relative even trees. Only 800 million years ago animal cells started appearing on earth comprised of mainly the same parts and following the same functions as plant cells. Requiring oxygen, solar energy, minerals, nutrients and water. This tree(Juniperus osteosperma)was surviving in only inches of soil, in an area of extreme heat and drought. I think our culture, our society has put itself above all living creatures, creating needs purely to support destructive economic practices. This tree doesn’t require an Apple Watch, it doesn’t stream its favorite shows, or have a microwave oven, pay health insurance or drink grande iced caramel macchiatos. It is just a tree but you rarely see geese riding jet skis or wearing designer clothing either. I think if we all want breathable air and drinkable water we all need to learn how to live with less🌏

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
JACKSON, Wyo. - Family members of missing 22-year-old Gabby Petito believe answers to her disappearance could be inside Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

Authorities and family are banking on tips from the public to help track Petito's whereabouts.

"All those little pieces can be little pieces of the puzzle to help us figure out where Gabby is," said Sgt. Clayton Platt with the Teton County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities are hoping witness tips will narrow down the search area in the park's sprawling 310,000 acres.

Search efforts for Gabby Petito focused near Grand Teton National Park

Family members hope witness accounts like that of Shannon Baker, will help fill in the gaps.

"We drove through the Tetons and the only stop we made was at Jenny Lake," Baker said.

Baker said it was 5 p.m. on Aug. 25, when she and her husband spotted Petito's van in the Jenny Lake parking area.

"I'm sure of it," Baker said. "It had the black ladder on the back and the two black rooftops on top, the two bars, and we made the comment that would be the perfect little camper van to go around in."

The Bakers described the park as crowded since it was the National Park Service's birthday and admission was free. However, in the midst of all the cars, they spotted the van pointing out its singular design as something they would want for themselves.

"My husband looked at it and goes that's the same vehicle they use on (the TV show) 'American Pickers,'" Baker said of Petito's white 2012 Ford Transit van.

Baker said they didn't think much of the sighting until Sunday when news started breaking of Petito's disappearance on social media.

"I said, 'Oh my god! That's the same van we saw,'" Baker said.

The Bakers didn't get a picture, but they're certain they saw the van - and so is Petito's family.

"They remembered commenting on how cute it was. They liked the way it looked and it was a good size. They were very detailed about their description, so I do believe they saw the van on the 25th," said Petito's mother Nichole Schmidt during her first interview with KSL TV on Sept. 12.

Meanwhile, authorities are keeping details of their investigation and search areas close to the vest.

"I can't give you any specifics on areas of interest but we are certainly following up on all leads that we receive," Sgt. Platt said.

Nevertheless, they're asking previous park visitors, especially those who visited the park in late August, to go through the pictures on their phones for sightings of Petito, Laundrie or their van.

"You never know what you've got in a photo that you've thought and lo and behold, there was a van that matches the description of this van in this case," said Platt.

As for the Bakers, the couple was on a trip to make lasting memories as Russell Baker has terminal cancer. But they never imagined their memories could help a complete stranger.

"Without a doubt, on my husband's life, I know for a fact that was their van," Shannon Baker said.

Interestingly enough, the Bakers said they're also from Florida and live about an hour north of Petito's home.

We're also hearing there may be more witness sightings of Petito in the Jenny Lake area on Aug. 25.

NORTH PORT, Fla. ( NewsNation Now) - Brian Laundrie's sister, Cassie Laundrie, saw her brother in the days following his return to Florida without Gabby Petito, despite her previous comments.

"I haven't been able to talk to him," Laundrie told ABC News last month. "I wish I could talk to him."

However, NewsNationNow.com reporter Brian Entin exclusively confirmed that Cassie Laundrie was at the Fort De Soto campground at the same time as the rest of the family in early September.

"To my knowledge, Cassie went for a day," Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino confirmed to Entin.

When Bertolino was asked whether Cassie Laundrie was at the campground at the same time as her brother, he responded, "idk" meaning "I don't know."

Bertolino later sent a follow-up text to Entin saying:

"Cassie saw her brother Brian on September 01 when he stopped by her home and again on September 6 at Fort De Soto Park. Law enforcement agencies are well aware of these dates. Any prior communication by Cassie that does not reflect these dates is simply a difference of relating an answer to a question misinterpreted by Cassie or poorly posed by the inquirer."

A public records request from Pinellas County in Florida revealed that Brian Laundrie's mother Roberta Laundrie checked into a campground at Fort De Soto Park in the days between Laundrie arriving home and Petito being reported missing. The campground is about 75 miles away from the Laundrie family home in North Port, Florida.

The record of registered campers shows Roberta Laundrie checked into "Site 001-Waterfront" between Sept. 6 and Sept. 8.

NewsNation also confirmed that the FBI has surveillance video from the campground.

The Fort De Soto campground has come into focus after Duane Chapman, known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, first followed up on a lead that the Laundries went camping there after Brian Laundrie returned home without Petito.

Laundrie's parents say they last saw him Sept. 14 as he headed for a hike at the 24,000-acre Carlton Reserve in Florida, though they did not report him missing until a few days later. Investigators have focused an intensive search on the area. Searches are ongoing at the reserve.

Workers at the campsite told NewsNation Wednesday they were not allowed to comment on the Laundrie family.

The FBI has issued an arrest warrant for Brian Laundrie. He is wanted for "use of unauthorized access device" related to his activities following Petito's death. The FBI says he used a debit card and a PIN to access two bank accounts Aug. 30 and Sept. 1.

Petito vanished while on a cross-country road trip with Laundrie in a converted camper van. The trip was well-documented on social media until it abruptly ceased, allegedly somewhere in Wyoming. Petito, 22, was reported missing Sept. 11 by her parents after she did not respond to calls and texts for several days. Her body was discovered days later at Grand Teton National Park.

Authorities have investigated multiple sightings in North Carolina of Brian Laundrie, the missing Florida man wanted for questioning in the disappearance of Gabby Petito, his fiancée whose death was ruled a homicide.

Tipsters have reported a dozen sightings of Laundrie, 23, in the western part of the state near the Tennessee border since last Thursday, a spokeswoman with the Haywood County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

Those reports include a 911 call shortly after 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, by a man claiming he was "99.99 percent" positive he spoke to Laundrie, who was last seen by his parents in Florida on Sept. 14.

"He was talking wild. He said that his girlfriend left him and he had to go out to California to see her," the man told the 911 dispatcher, according to audio of the call released Monday. "He was acting funny. And I wasn't sure what he looked like. And then ... I went and parked and pulled up the photographs of him. And I'm 99.99 percent sure that was him."

The caller, whose name was not released, also told the dispatcher the man he spoke with was driving a white pickup, which he believed could have been a newer model Ford F-150.

"It wasn't like an old beater. It was a newer truck," he said.

The two crossed paths in a parking lot along a stretch of the Appalachian Trail, after the driver in the truck signaled with his arm that he wanted to speak, the caller said.

"I'm telling you - it was him," the caller said.

A statement from the Haywood Sheriff's Office on Monday said investigators have "thoroughly" followed up on every tip, "but all to no avail."

Other reports of Laundrie sightings have flooded law enforcement in Canada, Alabama and Montana, NBC New York reported. There have been no confirmed sightings of Laundrie since he disappeared, as far as the FBI is publicly aware, according to the outlet.

Laundrie is being sought by federal authorities in relation to a grand jury indictment for his "activities following the death of Gabrielle Petito," the FBI said late last month.

A federal court in Wyoming issued an arrest warrant for him on Sept. 22, alleging he "knowingly and with intent to defraud, used one or more unauthorized access devices, namely a Capitol One Bank debit card" and personal identification numbers for two accounts.

He has also been named a "person of interest" in Petito's disappearance.

Petito, 22, went missing in late August after embarking on a cross-country road trip with Laundrie. Her remains were found at a campground in Wyoming on Sept. 19.

The discovery was made in Bridger-Teton National Forest, near Grand Teton National Park. A coroner ruled her manner of death was a homicide, but the official cause of death is awaiting final autopsy results.

Laundrie's family told investigators last month he had gone hiking in the Carlton Reserve in Florida and never returned. The 25,000-acre wildlife refuge was searched by law enforcement multiple times while looking for Laundrie.

Police have said Laundrie returned to his home in North Port, Florida, on Sept. 1 in the Ford Transit van without Petito. She was reported missing by her family on Sept. 11. Before his disappearance and after Petito went missing, Laundrie had been uncooperative with investigators, officials said.

She told the group she did not know anything was wrong until police began questioning her family on Sept. 11. She said she saw Brian Laundrie on Sept. 1 when he and their parents arrived in the family Mustang, not the van he and Petito had been traveling the country in. She also saw him at a family vacation on September 6, but said she had no reason to suspect any problems.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
( NewsNation Now) - Brian Laundrie's sister, Cassie Laundrie, took questions from a small group of protesters outside her home Monday and clarified some of the timelines around her brother's disappearance and the death of Gabby Petito.

The video, shared exclusively with Nexstar's NewsNation, was taken by a man who claimed to know the Petito family.

In the video, Cassie Laundrie confirmed that Brian flew home to Florida from the western U.S. at some point on or before Aug. 17, five days after he and Gabby Petito were pulled over and separated by police in Moab, Utah.

The group asked whether Cassie Laundrie believed her brother killed Gabby Petito and whether she thought he was still alive. Her answers to both questions were the same: "I don't know."

She told the group she did not know anything was wrong until police began questioning her family on Sept. 11. She said she saw Brian Laundrie on Sept. 1 when he and their parents arrived in the family Mustang, not the van he and Petito had been traveling the country in. She also saw him at a family vacation on September 6, but said she had no reason to suspect any problems.

Cassie Laundrie talked with the group for nearly 20 minutes, and admitted doing so likely wouldn't please their attorney, but she said the protesters' persistence was upsetting her children and neighbors.

"This is not what we want to be doing," Cassie Laundrie said. "This is not how we want the world to find out when we're angry and upset. But I can't have my kids be crying for three days in a row."

She also said news media misconstrued her answer to a question about the last time she saw Brian Laundrie. In an interview with ABC News on Sept. 16, she said "I haven't been able to talk to him." That was taken to mean she hadn't heard from him since Petito disappeared.
You can watch the full, unedited interview in the player below.
But she said Monday that answer was in response to a question along the lines of "What has been the weirdest thing of all of this?" and not "Have you spoken to your brother since Petito vanished?"

The family's attorney, Steven Bertolino, said Friday that Cassie Laundrie was with the family at Fort De Soto on Sept. 6, which she confirmed to the group outside her home.

She said she has not been able to speak with her family during the investigation, and was critical of Bertolino's statement.

"I'm in the boat where I'm getting ignored by my family and thrown under the bus by my family's attorney," she said.

When asked for comment, Bertolino said, "I do not represent Cassie Laundrie. Cassie's comments can only be attributed to the press twisting my words and hers, which were only given to clarify prior mischaracterizations by the press, with the hopes of further sensationalizing this tragic story."

A person in the group asked what she thought when she began to put the pieces together Sept. 11, but she said that's something she was "not allowed to answer."

She said she was "just as baffled and blown away as everybody else" at her parents' public silence thus far.

She also told the group Brian Laundrie was never violent or "abusive" toward Petito or anyone else that she saw.

During the exchange, Cassie Laundrie asked the group to stop harassing their neighborhood.

"The thing about it is, we know Gabby's family," the man recording the video said.

"We do, too," Cassie Laundrie replied. "What do you want us to do? We cooperated with the police. We're not supposed to talk to anybody and you're making my children cry."

"We would like to give [Brian Laundrie's] nephews an answer to when they can see their grandparents again," said Cassie Laundrie's husband, James Luycx. "When you know, [they can] see their uncle or anything that. He was their hero."

At the end of the video, the group vowed to leave and not come back.

The potentially deadly effects are the same as being strangled

We know that abusers strangle their victims as a way to exert power and control over them-they want their victims to know they can kill them at any time. But let's not also forget strangulation has a just-as-sinister cousin: suffocation. It could be done with a hand, a pillow or another object, or by applying pressure to a victim's chest, but the purpose of suffocation is to restrict oxygen to a sometimes-deadly level. Both suffocation and strangulation show an escalation in violence, say experts, and if it's not the cause of a domestic violence homicide, it's certainly a sign things are headed in a deadly direction.
The Last Warning Shot
Suffocation might be considered even more sinister than strangulation because there are no bruises left on the neck showing an abuser's hands pressed into the victim's skin, making suffocation nearly impossible to prove. And abusers know this.

"Strangulation and/or suffocation is definitely a method of choice by abusers-it's a very effective way to exert power and control over a victim," says Gael Strack, CEO and co-founder of the Alliance for HOPE International and the Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention.

"It sends a very strong and clear message to the victim that I control your last breath and I can get away with it. The inability to breathe is one of the most frightening and terrorizing experiences any person can go through."

Strack says that abusers who strangle or suffocate their victims know it often leaves little to no visible evidence of the internal injury or trauma it causes, making it easy for the abusers to avoid accountability.

"Experienced batterers know police officers generally look for visible evidence of injury in order to make an arrest," says Strack.

Suffocation, like strangulation, is on the end of the continuum of violence, just before death, says Strack, which is why she calls these methods "the last warning shot."

"Studies show most victims in the United States are killed by the use of a firearm, but before they are shot, at least 50 percent are strangled," she says.
Suffocation Often Goes Along with Strangulation
Based on focus groups with survivors, we know batterers suffocate their victims in order to silence them, says Strack. They may cover the victim's mouth or nose with their hands, a pillow or a plastic bag, or sit on the victim's chest. If they restrict air flow long enough, the victim will lose consciousness and death can occur in under 5 minutes.

Suffocation is also thought to occur in conjunction with strangulation most of the time, according to a report by forensic pathologist Dean Hawley for the National Strangulation Training Institute.

Hawley writes that the most typical scenario is for the victim to be on their back on the bed or floor with the abuser sitting on him or her, strangling them. The pressure of the abuser sitting on the victim's chest reduces his or her ability to expand their chest wall during breathing, suffocating them.

Suffocation is often suspected in homicide cases where the victim is especially vulnerable, such as with children, the elderly or adults impaired by alcohol or drugs.
Survivors Might Not Recognize Suffocation as Abuse
Despite its obvious deadly nature, survivors who have been suffocated may not bring this up with an advocate or support person. The reasons can range from trauma, which can impede a survivor's ability to remember information, as well as a lack of blood to the brain, which has the same effects.

"They also minimize strangulation or suffocation for many reasons-it could be happening so often, they don't see any injuries so they think it's not serious or no one will believe them," Strack says.

Survivors may also be asked-by an advocate, physician or someone in law enforcement-if they've ever been "choked." Strack says some survivors don't identify with that word, considering what happened to them to be minor and not as serious as being choked, strangled or suffocated. Some may have been convinced by an abuser that strangulation is part of "normal" sexual behavior. Victims may also minimize the abuse in order to protect her abuser from being arrested.

"We are finding the better question is, 'Has anyone applied pressure to your neck by any means? Did your breathing change in any way?'"

This is why it's important to consider documenting abuse as a survivor. If you find yourself waking up with fuzzy memories of a violent incident, with soreness around your neck or chest area, or find it difficult to take a full breath, record these symptoms in a place where your abuser can't find them, such as a notebook you keep at your office, a friend's house or in a safe deposit box.
If You've Been Suffocated, Seek Medical Attention
Many victims of suffocation may not think it's necessary to talk to a doctor if there are no signs of the assault. However, the after-effects of suffocation can be identical to strangulation (see " Strangulation Can Leave Long-Lasting Injuries " for more information). Even a temporary lack of oxygen can cause brain damage.

Survivors may also experience vision changes, tongue swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, left- or right-side weakness in the body, memory loss, paralysis or psychological injuries such as anxiety, nightmares, depression or suicidal ideations. In the case of pregnant survivors, suffocation can cause miscarriage.

Strack also encourages advocates to read " Why Didn't Someone Tell Me? Health Consequences of Strangulation (Suffocation) Assault for Survivors" published in the Domestic Violence Report.
California Passes "Duty to Warn" Law
In January, a law went into effect in California requiring law enforcement officers to ask domestic violence survivors if they were strangled, record this information-helping to track those individuals who strangle-and inform survivors of the dangers of internal injuries, urging them to seek medical attention.

Strack says she hopes this results in a decline from suffocation and strangulation deaths, which can sometimes occur a day or more after an assault, even when a survivor feels like he or she is OK.

"Because internal injuries may develop or worsen within 24 to 72 hours, you have to pay attention and, if things change, go to the ER. We don't want victims to suffer a stroke. Every second counts to the brain," says Strack.

The attorney stated that a timeframe of about 30 minutes into the park (about a mile or two) 2:30 was given to the authorities (assuming that was Chris Laundrie, not sure).

Attorney acknowledges that a "dry bag" was found.

One of the media crews was around the area when the Laundries and LE arrived. Chris ventured off the trail and zig-zagging through the woods from the entrance and Chris discovered the dry bag in the woods just off of the trail in bramble and notified LE of his findings without touching the dry bag at first then picked the bag up in front of media to show it to LE.

They looked at the contents of the bag and that's where the phone was found.

There was a picture on the phone of the backpack that LE discovered onsite.
