Not sure why guardian was inserted into the post. Anyhow, it didn't include the other tweet.

That’s commonly the motive for writing a suicide note - because you don’t want to be talked out of it

Brian ran home to mommy and daddy to get help covering it up and to plan his next move . Maybe he called his parents from WY and told them what happened and they were directing his actions from then on -the lawyer, the silence , the time with his sister and kids - they were planning on them never finding Gabby’s body .

When the heat started getting turned up on him , the protests, the Internet sleuths, he was being confronted ever day so he tried to go somewhere to hide out and was eaten by a gator

I guess that incident that occurred at Disneyworld a few years back where that little boy was attacked, then killed has traumatized me a bit.

Anyway, while I am by no means a fan of Brian Laundrie’s parents > I do admit I thought they were actually a lot worse than they have turned out to be.
I honestly thought they had said that their son had went on a hike at the Carlton Reserve so that they could send FBI agents on a “wild goose chase” why they used the extra couple days to help Brian escape the country.
I also bought into all the conspiracy stories that stated that Brian could have fled the country & be living on the lam in some exotic locale.

It has been clear to me that they were right all along on where their son might be.
And I truly believe that they were filled w/worry > not knowing if their child was alive and safe or dead.
A part of me feels bad for them because I cannot imagine losing my own child.
Even if he did commit a heinous crime - I would never assist them.
Nor would I ever support them or advocate for them.
I would even turn them in if they refused to do it.
But I would likely continue to still love my child.
At least I imagine I would.
My love is unconditional….however if my child stole another life, they damn sure would pay for it.

And Brian’s parents should have communicated w/Gabby’s family when they were worried about her.
Not responding was a very cruel and unjust inaction no matter their legal rights.

Any parent would be losing their mind over what to do in this situation and people show who they really are in these situations

Had they turned to a Priest for consul - or a good lawyer - instead of a sleazy one who was also emotionally involved as a family friend , their son would still be alive because they would have been counseled and supported through turning himself in - back on Aug 27th . A lawyer - if he is a good lawyer- doesn’t take a case in which he is emotionally involved AND criminal is not his specialty . The lawyer is basically a real estate Atty . Ethically, he should have referred Brian’s parents to the best criminal defense Atty in the state or Federally - maybe there were some discussions and Laundries were counseled to have him turn himself in and they went with their own moral default, which was clearly “ no body , no crime , try to get away with it ….and very tell tale - complete coldness to Gabby’s family - shows they set themselves as above them and above any kind of moral duty .

This story gets a lot of interest even after the bodies are found BECAUSE of the moral failures of the Laundries AND their Lawyer. They violated societies moral standards- all of them . Some may say our society has changed and a Priest or Rabbi has no role anymore- just lawyers . The law is the bare minimum boundary of human decency- it is set far lower than the moral bar .

Had the Laundries turned to a Priest or a good lawyer , their son would not only still be alive . He would be on his way to confession, remorse, some attempt at restitution and be out of jail in likely 2-10 years

Instead, he is dead

This is what I wonder about. Petito is an Italian name, right? Maybe he made even the Mob angry and they dispatched a team to track him down and off him. Then they left his remains for the critters. Or do I read too many books?

He didn't strike me as someone who would commit suicide. Then again, what do I know.

It’s so telling that in today’s hyper cancel culture where even a perceived slight against women, blacks, gays, Hispanics, etc. is quickly taken down off this and other boards, that an insult to Italian Americans doesn’t even register. Rules for thee.

Hey, idiot, in the first place, I'm Italian myself, and in the second, you're too stupid to understand it was said humorously.

Italian PP, you’re not very funny at all. Please don’t ever quit your day job.

But it's very likely they've been snacking on him. If he committed suicide on land, they could have easily dragged his body into the water.

Also, I wouldn't rule out homicide. Same brother lives just a few minutes from where Laundrie did, and he says all the locals were extremely angry. Many people had told my brother if they ran into Laundrie, they would kill him. Could be very possible someone saw him at the park, recognized him, took justice into their own hands, and tried to hide the evidence in the water.

Nah. He offed himself. Otherwise he would have taken more supplies into the reserve with him, and would have taken his phone and wallet. That seals the deal for me. No one planning to live leaves their phone at home these days.

I’d think most people would leave their phone because they don’t want to be tracked. Would make more sense to get a burner, but even that’s risky.

I don’t know. My brother was very angry over the whole thing. Many people in the community were extremely angry and he says many were talking about killing the guy. Of course most is probably bravado, but it’s Florida, I can absolutely see vigilante justice occurring, either someone hunting him down, or who just happened upon him and seized the opportunity.

I respectfully disagree.

I think that whoever found Brian Laundrie would not only be six-figures richer (🤑), but they also likely would receive lifelong accolades + fame for finding the creep.
They would be hailed a hero for sure.

In spite of how much hatred they had for Brian > none of it would supersede all the money and fame they would have received.

The only person that likely would kill Brian w/his own bare hands would be Gabby Petito’s Dad.

The story was so simple. Guy kills his girlfriend, feels guilty, then kills himself. I originally assumed this is what happened when the parents said he disappeared into the Reserve. But then I, along with all of the US, have probably seen too many movies like The Fugitive, and we all got swept up in a ridiculous Where's Waldo kind of situation.

Yeah I’m hindsight it’s so obvious. The only question is was he suicidal because of what he did, or because of his fear of what was to come. But that we will never know.

Yep. Moral failings in our society. Look what’s happened in this country for the last four years. Every man for himself and screw the rest. What’s ‘right’ has become ‘what’s right for me’.

With all due respect - I hope that the protesters who were in front of the Laundrie’s home will now go quietly back to their own homes & let the Laundries grieve their loss of their child.

Sure, they should have been responsive to the Petito family from the get-go, etc., and they have certainly paid a hefty price for their silence.
As they should have.
However they were truthful in their son’s whereabouts, did not secretly funnel ca$h to him to live on the lam, etc.

So they should be allowed to grieve in peace.

Strangely I agree with this. ^^^^

This.

Murders happen all the time. If this had been handled very differently, it wouldn't have gained worldwide notoriety.
