He probably dropped her off somewhere. or she got out of the van and he drove off. Klaralven Sep 2021 #1
This makes it sounds like the girl was the aggressor. honest.abe Sep 2021 #5
Wow... radicalleft Sep 2021 #14
Just a theory to explain the weirdness of the situation. honest.abe Sep 2021 #24

My young friend finally told me they were abused for yrs after partner tried to run them over with a uppityperson Sep 2021 #74
Women can be abusers too. lagomorph777 Sep 2021 #83
Yes. honest.abe Sep 2021 #85
He slapped her in a previous complaint. If it was an accident, he wouldn't be doing what he is Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #36
Yeah, I read that. honest.abe Sep 2021 #45
He hit her. That is a red flag...it always escalates. And if he hid the body well enough he may Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #50
i thought that she hit him Demovictory9 Sep 2021 #61
Now explain why she hasn't contacted her family or friends for weeks ZonkerHarris Sep 2021 #13
She might have died, might have had a mental breakdown, been picked up by someone Klaralven Sep 2021 #16
The simple solution is usually the right one. He probably killed her. Intentionally or not. ZonkerHarris Sep 2021 #22
He probably wouldn't want to talk about it if he dropped her off on some gravel road in the mountain Klaralven Sep 2021 #23
Hard to believe he would do that and feel no guilt after some time. honest.abe Sep 2021 #29
That's what the lawyer is for - to keep him for saying something stupid because of feeling guilty Klaralven Sep 2021 #44
If he only dropped her off somewhere and she was found safe then he has nothing stupid to say. honest.abe Sep 2021 #47
She hasn't been found safe. He may have no idea what happened to her after they separated Klaralven Sep 2021 #51
That's my point.. why did he not even try to find her or tell someone where she might be found. honest.abe Sep 2021 #56
How about he beat her death, stabbed her, choked the life out of her and she is dead... Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #37
Yup ZonkerHarris Sep 2021 #58
Daily Mail obamanut2012 Sep 2021 #26
It's a tabloid story, and they do them well. Klaralven Sep 2021 #27

Is Gabby Petito's Disappearance Related to Married Couple's Murder? Utah Police Are 'Not Ruling Anyt Klaralven Sep 2021 #3
Hard to see why there would be a link between these people. Wingus Dingus Sep 2021 #4
In my mysteries...he would have killed his girlfriend and they saw it so he killed them too... Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #40
But the girlfriend was alive later, after the couple was dead Klaralven Sep 2021 #46
True that but how do we know the girl friend was alive...missed that. Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #48
Facetime with her mother. Klaralven Sep 2021 #53
How is it the Laundrie Quakerfriend Sep 2021 #6
I think he has declined to be questioned which is his right I believe. honest.abe Sep 2021 #8
They can never force him to be questioned, charged or not greenjar_01 Sep 2021 #12
Right but they could at least bring him in for questioning if they charged him with something. honest.abe Sep 2021 #25
Wouldn't they need some evidence in order to charge him? Klaralven Sep 2021 #28
Yeah, that's why I think they are waiting to do it. honest.abe Sep 2021 #30
He could demand a lawyer and wouldn't have to sit there saying nothing greenjar_01 Sep 2021 #34
I think cops do actually bring suspects in to be questioned despite the possibility they wont talk. honest.abe Sep 2021 #41
Sure, and they have to stop questioning immediately upon the request for a lawyer greenjar_01 Sep 2021 #43
They are going to bring him for questioning at some point regardless of whether he talks or not. honest.abe Sep 2021 #49
They can arrest him greenjar_01 Sep 2021 #54
Yeah I got that, but the original question was why haven't they brought him in for questioning. honest.abe Sep 2021 #55
"This is basic stuff..." LanternWaste Sep 2021 #63
Cops called... Let the (white) guy go after talking to them both... winstars Sep 2021 #7
Indeed. honest.abe Sep 2021 #9
Sounds like they would have to arrest her since she was the one whom witness saw hitting him. LisaL Sep 2021 #32
From the reports Zeitghost Sep 2021 #57
Dude is definitely going to spend decades in a Utah prison greenjar_01 Sep 2021 #10
Only if he murdered the couple. Gabby was still alive in Wyoming. Klaralven Sep 2021 #18
He killed her...why else would he refuse to give any details? Why are you defending him... Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #38
Please don't jump to conclusions so fast. uppityperson Sep 2021 #11
Good point. I removed my comment ("Here we go again.") NT mahatmakanejeeves Sep 2021 #19
If the police are competent they should be able to piece together a digital trail. LiberalFighter Sep 2021 #15
I think they've done that and the trail ends in Grand Teton Nat Park in Wyoming Klaralven Sep 2021 #17
If they argued all the way from Moab to Grand Teton, that's a long way to argue. NT mahatmakanejeeves Sep 2021 #20
8 hours, 21 minutes of driving according to Google. They were allegedly headed to Yellowstone. Klaralven Sep 2021 #21
It's a safe bet they argued more than once. LisaL Sep 2021 #33
It's probably too early to assume he killed her, but he needs to talk to the police and be helpful liberal_mama Sep 2021 #31
Any competent criminal attorney would give the advice he and his family have clearly received greenjar_01 Sep 2021 #35
Really...well if she just left and he could help the police find her, I say he is a piece of Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #39
I don't think that's what happened either greenjar_01 Sep 2021 #42
He might get away with it...but I wonder how a Blackman who tried this would fare... Demsrule86 Sep 2021 #52
I don't know. Treefrog Sep 2021 #60

Thank you. uppityperson Sep 2021 #72
