Van Lifer couple camping in Utah national park - two weeks later fiancee arrives in FL alone

I agree, he is dust - that nature reserve is a red herring to tie up resources while he moves further and further away from home / his responsibilities.

What a disgrace.

He won’t stay there. He’ll hike along the perimeter and exit when he finds a safe, remote area. He probably knows that preserve well. I’m guessing he is long out of the swamp. Probably helped by his parents. He could easily be out of the country by now. I hope not.

being an international fugitive takes resources. Judging by his parents' house, they don't have those resources. If he fled the country he'll turn up eventually

Wrong. His parents owned four properties in Florida. Not everyone goes all out with new money purchases in gated neighborhoods.

On top of that they recently liquidated three - one condo received $50,000 in equity, another home sold for $20,000 in equity, and a third was $55,000 in equity. So they have/had $125,000 in cash without touching retirement or the rest of home sale values when he showed up with 13 days to run ahead of the police.

That's enough to lay low for 5 years in Mexico, learn the language and find a permanent out of the way community, as long as he doesn't trust the wrong people.

Wow. How recent is "recently"?

2018. March 2021. July 2021.

I think with COVID masking and the fact that he's about as unremarkable looking as a person could be, he's moved along and is long gone from the US.

Yep. At this point I am more interested in hearing exactly what his parents have been up to all this time.

I do think he is long gone, though. There are several Private bus companies which specifically cater to migrant workers going to and from Florida to Mexico and elsewhere. You see them on I75 frequently and they list their destinations/info in Spanish. He could easily have handed over his cash, hopped on one of these to get to the border, and no one would have questioned a thing.

I feel irrationally angry about the money being dumped into the manhunt.

I feel like they might not spend so much time at the reserve if there was nothing? I read they have dive teams there now

If the Laundrie parents were so concerned about their "missing" son, why weren't they out there looking for him? Why would they bring his car back home and essentially leave him in the reserve without transportation? Why weren't they on every news station pleading for their son's safe return? Because they knew in advance that he had murdered her and helped him get away, that's why. Why can't the police bring charges against these people for obstructing justice? don't they have bank records? flight records? phone records? something?!? Why are we searching in swamps instead of interrogating the very people who know his whereabouts? We're wasting a ton of resources on searching for this guy-the parents know.

Is the state of Florida going to sue them for all the resources being wasted looking for their "missing" son?

How can they possibly think they could possibly still live in that house, with the amount of hate surrounding them rising each day.

This guy is long gone. He was very smart in how he handled it all. He had two weeks to think things through. I think he thought there was a good chance she would never be found, and likely assumed that AT MINIMUM it would have taken WAY longer, but he clearly got his ducks in a row. He didn't say a thing to the police and he got out of dodge as soon as the youtube video surfaced. I'm sure his parents helped. We'll never see him again. He has not really slipped up one time in exposing himself other than coming back to Florida with the van but he had to show back up somewhere eventually. I'm sure he had a plan cooked up with his family before his tires touched florida ground.

Would there be less hate surrounding them in a house in a different area? There is nothing to do except wait out the media storm and then move.

They didn't report him missing, they aren't looking for a missing person. Their lawyer informed the police that the parents did not know where he is. They are seeking him out as a person of interest. So I doubt it.

He was gone well before then. Neighbors reported seeing him acting normal from August 27th to at least September 1st.She was declared missing on September 11th and then didn't find the video until a week later.

so what's the long term plan? He has no passport (at least one that won't set off alarms) and far from enough money to never work again.
