Israel did. After a guy murdered his friend in the DC area.

He was tried and convicted in Israel. Later died in a prison shoot out.

You can’t stop legal adults from trying questionable career paths.

First time I hear of this story, just googled it and came across all the gruesome details. Why are people so awful???

Too late for that. There was a book and a movie glorifying the “Into the Wild” kid that basically committed slow-mo suicide.

Yeah, but the Into the Wild Guy was legit. He may have been crazy but he wasn’t vlogging. He set off on his adventure years before the internet. Theses kids, on the other hand, wanted to finance a permanent vacation from bagging at Publix from travel blogging.

She was a pharmacy tech. Who the hell cares what others do? She didn’t die because she was living the van life. She died because she had an abusive boyfriend. Women die at the hands of murderous boyfriends and husbands every day, no matter their job, lifestyle, of place of residence.

He wasn’t “legit,” he was an idiot, and the book and movie *inspired* multiple generations of these vloggers.

He was incredibly heinous. At 17. That is someone born evil.

Most of this may be true. Also, none of this may be true. What is indisputable is that the career goal of becoming a travel blogger is a recipe for poverty tinged with privilege.

He was let out of prison. Apparently, prisoners are given breaks??

Kids? They were 22 and 23. Exactly how do you propose we stop them from doing anything?

By telling them they’re idiots and don’t call for money in two days when you’re broke.

Might have been in preparation for his release. He was due to be paroled in 2015.

Let’s stop speculating until the facts are in, cause of death, etc. They swore they hadn’t been drinking or doing drugs, but they sure looked like the were both strung out. And both admitted to mental health issues during the traffic stop.

OMG STOPPP!! He fake texted her mom, drive home without her and told police nothing, ever.

He is mentally ill. You don’t know where his head was at, how she died, or why he responded to her death this way. You have no idea what really happened.

And you know this how? Assuming that he did murder her (and that's still an assumption at this point) he doesn't appear to have anything close to the severe mental illness required for a finding of "not guilty by reason of insanity" or even "guilty but mentally ill."

His family was quoted as saying he struggles with mental health issues. That doesn't make him a serial killer, but perhaps he is manic.

Manic? As in manic-depressive? The antiquated term for bipolar disorder? Does that make someone likely to murder someone? If so, I’m in trouble!

There are different types and manifestations of bipolar disorder; my friend married a guy who is bipolar, as she is. She found out he is much much more violent than she bargained for. He is currently in jail waiting for his court date because he threatened her and violated his probation.

Just because you aren't violent when you are manic, doesn't mean everyone isn't.

+1 and also I didn't say bipolar because that is not what i meant. There are many types of mental illness that cause one to have manic episodes. You are projecting.

Link? I thought his family was not talking to police at all and only speaking through an attorney?

The sister did. She alluded some things then stopped herself. Like the weird part about him flying back.
https://abc7ny.com/gabby-petito-cassie-laundrie-family-speaks-sister-breaks-silence/11025914/

I read the transcript of that interview and don't see where the sister says anything about him being mentally ill. On the body cam footage, I think he mentions having some anxiety while riding to the hotel room in the police vehicle. "Anxiety" does not equal manic or bipolar.

So many clueless people on this thread. Not indisputable at all. Many writers are on the road. They blog and do other work like copyediting. Some people work for a bit, then travel. I don’t know if you mean privilege based on just race and/or socioeconomic status. While I agree that it can be easier to travel when white, there are more and more of people of color who are travel blogging and leading nomadic lives. Check out blackpacking podcast to hear some stories.

I don’t Gabby had enough street smarts to be able to leave him. He probably abused her and she didn’t think she could do better. We must teach women it’s better to be alone than be abused. I think both sets of parents failed their kids.

If he has indeed recently logged into his Instagram account, then I’m sure Instagram servers have logged his IP address. There are also ways for civilians to trick him with sending links such has Grabify. Law enforcement already use Spotify to track fugitives. There are also satellites and facial recognition technology. Here I thought we were in the age of Big Brother, and we still can’t find him?

Just read this article in which a PI says lots of things said here, with additional point that by wearing a mask, he could have gotten thru airports. https://www.insider.com/brian-laundrie-could-have-fled-us-private-investigator-says-2021-9

But yeah, say he still has his phone? Why don't they have him. I expect them to have him by tomorrow, because this is not a smart dude.

Maybe law enforcement is getting their ducks in a row until they are ready to pounce.

Law enforcement uses illegal “stingray” technology to pinpoint a cell phone:
