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

[Anonymous]

Did they obtain a lawyer prior to her dad coming and calling? Or after?

Give it a rest. They just learned their son is dead. Did you watch the video? The father crying when he got the news? They didn’t know and they weren’t involved and they are grieving. They have been vilified based on zero evidence that they had any knowledge of what happened to Gabby or knowledge or role in Brain’s disappearance. It’s sick what people have been doing to these individuals without anything to substantiate the wild accusations.

While I agree that you have included many valid points, I still think that the parents should have spoken up in the beginning.

When Gabby’s family was calling the Laundries, inquiring where she was or what they actually knew, etc., I just find it cruel that they never responded back.
While hiring a lawyer + deciding against speaking publicly is their fundamental right - morally they should have responded to Gabby’s parents and let them know what they knew.

By doing this, they only made themselves look bad.

Of course it made them look bad, but it was the smart thing to do. It’s 100% what I would have advised my clients to do as well. we don’t know what Brian told them. He may have told them absolutely nothing. Remember, her body wasn’t even found until after Brian left. They may have had zero clue that was something wrong. Brian left only two days after she was announced missing- that could have been a complete shock to the parents who could have led to him feeing a need to flee. He could have played her disappearance off as something he has no idea about. We simply don’t know what they knew or thought.

But they could have had the decency to respond to Gabby’s family when they called looking for her. Stone cold silence is not the way to react.

It is noted that both of his parents found some items that perhaps belonged to their son.
I find this too coincidental that his folks randomly said they would be looking for him today, then they magically find his belongings.
Don’t you?!

I suspect they may have known his whereabouts and finally let down their guard this morning.
Perhaps they got tired of living a lie….??

Regardless I am looking forward to the press conference in a few minutes.

You read Fox which has been prove wrong. They DID NOT find the items. The police did. Also, the police have been asking them to join them to help the search

We don’t know what their relationship was like with the Petito family, or how they were being approached. As long as we’re assuming that the Laundries were stone cold, why not assume that the Petitos were threatening them? We don’t know enough about any of this to pass well informed judgment.

Anonymous wrote:Those of you who are defending the Laundrie parents are really interesting. The Laundries made themselves look guilty by immediately getting a lawyer BEFORE Gabby's parents even realized there was a problem. They refused to speak with her parents and even called the police on Gabby's father when he went to their house. No doubt he was not pleasant about wanting to know why they hadn't heard from Gabby. As it turned out, he was 100% correct to be worried sick. They let him continue worrying and refused to speak to him and hid behind a lawyer.

Sorry - those people knew something. They knew their son came home without Gabby, and they knew Gabby was dead. This is not wild speculation - this is logical conclusion. Anyone who says otherwise is using lawyerspeak. Hiding behind a lawyer is not illegal, but it is morally despicable in this case. They showed no human decency. For the way they treated Gabby's family, they deserve all the condemnation that has come their way. They shouldn't whine about it, because they treated Gabby's family in the exact same way they have been treated by the public.

There is no indication that they got a lawyer before Gabby’s parents knew there was an issue. The first mention of the lawyer was the day she was reported missing. And that was simply the mom handing the police his number. He didn’t make a public statement until several days later. The Laundrie’s already knew him - it seems like a phone a friend situation.

This. Plus, the Laundrie’s could have reasonably believed that their son was being abused by Gabby and he ran away and was trying to cut communication. He had an order from the cops showing him as the victim from the August incident and there is a public police report from a witness describing Gabby as punching Brian. There is also the video recording of a witness saying the same

Well, they found Brian’s notebook at the reserve and he was apparently all about Zen and journaling. Hopefully the water didn’t damage it, although that seems likely. I bet it has or had all the answers.

Gabby was stangled for 4 to 7 minutes. Just stop with this B.S.

I imagine he told his parents at some point, She's dead but I didn't kill her. or She's dead but I didn't mean to kill her. Then he took off to hide in the woods, telling them he would explain everything later but now he needed to hide and figure out what to do next because he just knew everybody was going to blame him and assume he did it.

If anything like that happened they decided to just stay silent until he came back or he was found. It's easy to imagine they should have done something else, I certainly agree they should have done more than they did if they actually knew Gabby was dead before the body was found. But I can understand how parents might become paralyzed with inaction and silence until their son came back or was found.

They have taken a lot of heat for their silence but I think their reaction is more typical of how most people would react that any other scenario.

I also think that most people are mad at them for raising a son like him, just like Casey Anthony's parents were hated for raising a daughter like her.

Unpopular theory - I think they have been 100% cooperating with the FBI since Brian went missing. Doesn’t excuse the silence starting Sept 1 but still. Do we know the exact date they lawyered up?

Oh please. This is DCUM. Passing judgment is their specialty.
They have zero information, but have ALL the answers.

This has bothered me for some time — we have absolutely no idea what they have and have not told the FBI. The speculation about whether they have cooperated (or not) is purely that — speculation.
