Verschwinden und Tod von Gabby Petito
21.09.2021 um 07:48Speculation is mounting that police obtained a specific piece of crucial evidence when they visited Brian Laundrie’s family home – possibly in the form of a note – that led them to rapidly locate the body of Gabby Petito.Quelle: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/gabby-petito-note-brian-laundrie-b1923589.html (Archiv-Version vom 21.09.2021)
Last Friday evening, FBI agents and police in North Port, Florida, spent more than two hours at the home of Mr Laundrie’s parents, Christopher and Roberta, having been invited by the couple for a “conversation”.
During the meeting, after which police could be seen leaving with evidence bags and the family lawyer said they had taken with them “property to assist in locating Brian”, it emerged the parents claimed not to have seen their son since last Tuesday.
However, within 12 hours of that meeting, the FBI had assembled a team of dozens or even scores of agents, park rangers and police officers to conduct a very thorough search of the spread creek dispersed camping area, located about 20 miles north of Jackson.
Until that point, a handful of officers had been searching various other campsites that Ms Petito and Mr Laundrie were believed to have made use of, including one in West Yellowstone.
Möglicherweise sind die Ermittler durch Beweismittel, die sie bei einem Besuch der Eltern von BL bekommen haben, auf den Fundort der Leiche gestoßen.
Nur zwölf Stunden nach der Besprechung mit den Eltern begann die Suche an dem späteren Fundort an der Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area.
Vor dieser gezielten Suche waren verschiedene Campingplätze in der Gegend ins Visier genommen worden.
Frank Montoya Jr, a retired FBI special agent, said it appeared the police had obtained some crucial lead late last Friday that enabled them to scramble the large-scale search operation at spread creek.
“[The search process] starts with an analysis of her social media and not just the things that are being posted, but just the electronic trail that ensues when you’re communicating online or via Wi-Fi. And it may be that the trail ended in the area of Grand Teton,” he said, speaking from Providence, Utah.
