This week on The Debrief, Pei-Sze Cheng reports from Grand Teton National Park, where Petito's stepfather is doing all he can to drum up leads and convince Brian Laundrie to tell authorities what he knows about Gabby's whereabouts.

Seems as though he would’ve alerted the police when he couldn’t find her instead of going home…Prayers for Gabby and her love ones
@Stone Mclaughlin not the conspiracy theories already
@Toren1156 wtf
@Brandon Williford if they were kidnapped then he wouldn’t stay silent about this whole thing
@Petra Williams they can’t arrest him without solid evidenced that he did it
@Indoor Greg That’s all old stuff, based off old knowledge. Have you been keeping up with it? He took off on the run now, or maybe he killed himself. You only know until you know. As far as your question, I could think of a reason: Stay quiet, or she’s dead. Get us X amount of money. So there’s that, or do you think that kind of stuff only happens in Hollywood Movies?
This story has been on all of my social media feeds. Someone really needs to start talking! I hope Gabby is alive and safe 🙏🏾
It’s sad this young lady is gone. Lord bless her family and those who are saddened. If the news reported on every single death that happened in America and around the world every single day. you would see that people die for many more reasons than covid.
There are people that go missing every day there are people that are killed violently everyday there are people that are abused every day there are people that are raped every day there are people that are dying to drugs every day there are people that commit suicide every day there are people that died in car accidents every day there are people that died because of STDs everyday.
This is why Jesus Christ was sent into the world to save Souls its appointed for man wants to die then judgment for the wages of sin is death the free gift of God is eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
Why do people sleep around in Murder their babies because of sin why do people murder each other and violent ways because of sin why do people get caught up in drugs and crazy behavior because of sin.
The good news is you can turn to Jesus Christ and be saved.
A few days late, but she passed away. Rip Gabby, let her Rest In Peace. She didn’t deserve this.
@J E F F E R S O N you’re seemingly confused or misunderstanding. Honestly it is slightly white privileged. What about Daniel Robertson (other recent missing younger 24 y.o or hkw about all the other missing people? There are many that don’t get these kind of privileges. We have to wonder or examine why. Considering American history and recent past events there is immense trauma and it is not unfair to ponder the idea that there are certain privileges that may apply based on race and other things.
@No Body Isn’t this rich? A communist telling “me” that I am confused. You just can’t make this stuff up. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@J E F F E R S O N yeah my 1 comment deems me communist. You just can’t make this stuff up. This is why I’m a teacher and your aren’t.
I cant imagine how Gabby felt her last few minutes.
I can’t imagine how Brian felt taking her abuse the whole trip for any little thing he did that she didn’t like. Souns like she needed to be on medication! looney.
@Surgeofenergy 101 Brian is innocent
@Humane143Imperfection That’s what I said. They both seemed immature and not capable of a grown up trip across country.
Intel they show definitive proof it’s her remains they found it’s all speculation Pulling on those heartstrings for some reason and waiting again for some reason
@Humane143Imperfection Are we one is proof of who is remains they found if any at all they come up with the stories all the time just to mess with peoples emotions and have reasons for doing things like searching everyone’s campsite camper and trailer where are your papers show us your ID that kind of thing
She last facetimed her family in salt lake city and later supposedly “texted ‘ no service in Yosemite'”, but her body was found near to Salt Lake City (250 miles north). I don’t think she was ever in Yosemite.
@OsamaBinObama LOL your name.
@Andril Chakraborty hello deepfake
@OsamaBinObama murders come in all color shape and sizes… Not black hair brown eyes what about blonde hair blue eyes or a brunette with green eyes
@rasheda campbell google mugshots and look at roughly 90% of them. Some breeds of dogs just bite more than others.
@Haylee Brown no they did not.
The fact that Brian’s parents wouldn’t even speak to Gabbys family just shows they know Brian is guilty and they’re trying to cover for him. Hope they get locked up too
Dont wish jail on people you dont know. Especially when you dont know the truth. And I’m sure they’re cooperating by now. And its family. He put them in a horrible position. So worry about him for now.
Brian’s Parents are creepy AF 😳
@Jose Ibarra
I was wondering who was paying for all these cross country trips they’ve beem taking. Thats so much $$$ for gas, food, etc. They’ve been doing it for a year and a half. This trip was 2 months.
@Selena G – Brian is the killer.
If he was innocent he would have reported her disappearance to the police.
@itsroseane_
Umm….he’s not innocent.
Exactly. And both he and his parents would have been climbing all over each other trying to help look for her.
and if they had broken up and he wanted nothing to do with her or didn’t care anymore, he would have no reason to run from authorities. hiring a lawyer i understand, but living as a fugitive doesn’t make him look innocent
I want to turn to Gabby’s family. Many people and families from Russia are following this story, thanks to our federal media. We all express our deepest condolences to Gabby’s family and grieve together with you for your irreparable loss. Hold on and please be strong. Because you need to know who or what is behind Gabby’s death. We are with you! With the support from Russia. Sorry for my poor English.
Yurgen – OXOTHNK Yes Sir I can see how Russian people/ citizens can have a negative view of American ” society” So many people have a spoiled self centered mind set & make poor choices, maybe combined with a ” diminished socio-economic ” existence which I’m sure is also prevalent in Russia. We are all basically good people,, especially strong family,, spiritual, conservative down to earth, hard working, rural & semi- rural country folks. Unfortunately this country is experiencing an attempted take over by radical socialist marxists which in your history was responsible for massive abuse & death of millions of your ancestors…
P
Your English is excellent and you’ve got a really good heart .
You’re very nice.
Really? Why? You don’t have any theater performance in your country?
Quite evident Brian’s family is aiding and abetting him knowing all well he has most likely killed her.
Think of the police who sent her back to camp alone?
NO…this story is very fishy….cops acted very, very strange….
I agree and I believe that they should be charged for it, too.
@Amanda Lockhart They won’t be charged because they didn’t do anything wrong. Everyone gets their day in court, and you’re innocent until proven guilty. All they did was protect their son by telling him not to speak with the police and by getting him a lawyer immediately. These are not illegal things, in fact, they are smart things for anyone to do if they’re ever a suspect in a criminal case even when you know you are innocent.
There are DA’s/prosecutors that don’t care about justice, they care about winning. They want to appear to their constiuency like they are tough on crime so they will actually do everything in their power to not allow certain evidence or witnesses to appear in court in front of the jury even when it would help exonerate the defendant because they want to win. I’m not saying they are all like this but there are definitely prosecutors that are who put winning above all else, justice be damned, and it’s a true shame for all us little people in the country who depend on getting a fair shake in court if we ever find ourselves in the unfortunate situation where we have to defend ourselves in a court of law.
Aiding and abetting to a criminal degree would be if the parents provided the pistol and knew exactly what their son was going to do with it because he told them and there are witnesses to this, or a confession by the son saying they gave him a gun when he said he was going to shoot her. Aiding and abetting would be if they drove with him and the corpse and picked up shovels from Home Depot and helped him dig the hole that he threw the body into.
Aiding and abetting IS NOT advising him not to speak to the police detectives and it’s not remaining silent during questioning. These are all important rights that we all have that is in our favor and is one tool we have as American citizens against would-be tyranny.
Now, I’m not defending this scum bag. I think he killed her and he’s on the run, maybe killed himself somewhere cuz he didn’t wanna be caught (unless they found him or more evidence or something, I haven’t been following the story too closely the past week or so). But yeah, in my opinion he murdered this poor girl like a coward. This is just my opinion, just like it’s everyone else’s opinions. No one knows for sure besides him, the poor girl who was murdered, and God. I mean, we can use common sense and put two and two together, which definitely points to him being the murderer, but at this point no one knows with 100% certainty. I’m defending due process and our legal system which dictates that we are all innocent until proven guilty.
Cases like this bring out a lot of emotion, and I understand that, I sympathize and feel the same way for the most part. We all wanna join a lynch mob and take this bald headed punk down, vigilante justice style. Most of the time it’s justifiable, but once in awhile, the crowd is wrong, especially the idiots on the internet. Remember when that horrible website with horrible, unfunny, uncool, nerdiest of nerdy, ugly, beta male, afraid of women, leftist, commie, smelly users known as reddit used their “sleuthing skills” to finger the man they believed did the Boston Marathon bombing and it was a completely innocent man who ended up killing himself over the negative attention he got from it? This is why it’s bad to jump to conclusions on stuff like this, people get it wrong and it’s not anyone’s place or business on the internet in the first place. It’s this girl’s family, his family, and law enforcement’s business, that’s it. It’s okay to follow the case, but leave your wanna be detective work out of it.
Cheers,
Tony.

Narcissist children are usually protected by narcissistic parents. Brian can’t hide from his actions now! Prayers for Gabby & her family.❤️
i believe she was somewhat the same way. I think people are tending to make her into some kind of perfect little suffering angel when she herself was capable of tantrums, screaming episodes and face scratching. She worked at Publix. I’d like to know how high school students can afford to travel the world alone, then after graduation afford customized vans, extended travel lasting for years without having a job or income. I know just a weekend trip to the city can cost upwards of $1000. These and a lot of other “van-lifers” are endulged children of the rich. While millions are wondering if they can make the rent and feed their kids, we have a population of young people “living their best possible lives” with mom and dad are footing the bill. Watch her one and only Youtube video. She doesn’t seem mature at all and wants all the attention on herself.
@Amy Walker this is what the media does as long as she fits the profile like good looks not too skanky not too working class then they will get everyone rallying for her and paint her the way they want to make her their media darling, i feel bad for her but the media and society sucks
@Amy Walker it seems you are projecting dear. Travel doesn’t have to be expensive (Couchsurfing app for example). They don’t have to pay for wifi, electricity, water like at a house. Their cost is the car and gas.
I spent 5 weeks in Europe and spent next to nothing due to Couchsurfing and flight deals. If you want it enough you can make it happen. Yeah, she borrowed money from her parents. She’s 22, which in the world of psychology is still a kid (brain doesn’t stop developing until 24/25). Her parents likely empathized with her mental health issues, healing and need to have adventure and find her career path on the off the beaten path. That isn’t enabling. What is enabling is his parents who protect him whilst letting another family suffer.
@Amanda Lockhart while what you say can be true, the opposite might too. We simply don’t have enough information. It’s true she scratched him and hit him, but what mental state was she in? Was she induced to it by years of verbal and physical torture? Did she end up finding normal to hit and mistreat others when you’re in a relationship? Or was she also super unstable before dating him and outside this relationship?
What I mean to ask is… was this an action or a reaction? Because i can personally tell you, after years of torture, people can start to snap as a defense mechanism, exasperated because they can’t find any way else to be listened and respected, constantly put on edge, called crazy, needs overlooked on purpose, gaslighting, called out for any single imperfection to the point they believe 1 little mistake is gonna be the end of their career / family / life.
OR she really is a not such a good person. We simply don’t know enough to tell. But he’s trashy for sure!
Her body was discovered but they don’t know the cause of death. Prayers for her and her family🙏
My heart goes out to Gabby’s family and friends. 🌻
She has such a bright beautiful smile too 🙁
There’s no way it’s not Brian the fact he won’t talk to the police is an obvious sign
Things aren’t always what they seem in a relationship.
But on another note, have ya thought about checking the “Kings Cayon”?
The officer pretty much gave him a set point. “Is way bigger than the Grand Cayon.” Basically gave him the perfect place to get rid of a body IMO
Even if she legitimately slipped and fell and or died purely accidental in this case, this guy is screwed.
Brian refused to walk away without being assured no one else would be loved by gabby! And no one would ever love her either again either!
I really hope that she is ok, honestly. I dont know her but she seems like such an amazing person.
He’s guilty. He could have reported her missing before leaving, updated her parents, called the police, but he left with HER VAN!
And used her card.. If he wasn’t guilty he wouldn’t get her money out of the bank and dissappear, no matter how much people tell him or how much he thinks this is the best option.. It’s only getting worse.
This story has been on all of my social media feeds. Someone really needs to start talking! I hope Gabby is alive and safe 🙏🏾
Um, her body has been found.😔
@Pamela Gibson WHAT WHERE
@Raniel X WDW Wyoming. Teton national forest. May she RIP.😔
I believe that when a person is in the knowledge of the location of a missing person, the first amendment shouldn’t be protecting them anymore. Because not revealing a victim because of a right, is just ridiculous.
