The search for Brian Laundrie

[muto]

I didn’t see a thread on this yet, and I’ve been following this case pretty closely, and was wondering how long you guys think it will be before he’s found?, and whether or not you think his family is involved in hiding him?

I personally think it will probably be a while, but I do think eventually he or his family, which I also believe is hiding him will fuck up, and it will have a domino effect. I also think the authorities (FBI) know a lot, but obviously can’t say much, because they don’t want to tip him and his family off. I think his parents saying he’s hiding in the Carlton Reserve was bullshit as well. They were just saying that to buy him time. The fact they went camping in De Soto for example when he returned, and they left, and he didn’t. There’s also information that his sister was seen there as well. I don’t think he’s left the country either. A tall white guy like him would stick out like a sore thumb, and the bounty on him will surely get him turned in. My guess is he’s hiding in the woods somewhere or chilling in someone’s house or a cheap motel.

Even if he didn't actually kill her, whether it was premeditated or by accident, everything he has done immediately afterwards is a laundry list of what not to do if you think you are innocent. Fear and panic are strong motivators in situations where it would benefit more to have a calm head with rational thinking.


I believe, based on everything that has been reported up to this point, that he did. All actions done suggest that he did... but I am interested to see what his reason is once he's caught. If there could be any plausible reason why he didn't actually kill her but he still ran and hide.

He's probably in Canada or Mexico.

[Daedius]

Dog shall find him.

a laundry list

>.<

Are you making a joke?

Should I have said shopping list instead?


Ehhh.... nvm.

[Shadowferal]

I'm thinking suicide.

What is wrong with "laundry list". It means a long list.

But he definitely has made himself look as guilty as one can get. Hopefully they can eventually catch him and find some justice for her.

Why so serious >.>

Actually just asking if he is making an intentional pun lmao

[Shadowferal]

Yknow...I do have laundry that needs doing...

[Rustedsaint]

At this point Ill be surprised if he didn’t contribute to her death.
Personally I doubt we will find him alive, this feels like it’s gonna be a murder/delayed suicide case.

Brian's family is absolutely hiding him, or at least helping him hide, which under the law is the same thing. Even knowing where the location of a fugitive and not disclosing when asked is aiding and abetting, and now that the FBI is on the case (heh), you can bet his family is under extreme pressure to give up his location.

[DarkAmbient]

There's no reasonable scenario where his actions aren't highly indicative of guilt. And I don't know if they have obstruction of justice laws in the US, but his parents look awfully guilty of that.

[muto]

I'm thinking suicide.

I thought about that too, but I don’t think he would have made the trip back to Florida if he was going to off himself. I think he’s too big of a narcissist. He also abused her before he killed her, which you can see in the Moab incident with the police, and they just blow it off, and tell them to separate for the night. Even if they had arrested her, and believed him, which would be wrong, she would at least be alive.

Total fuck up by Police in Utah and total fuck up by police in Florida letting him get away. Even if they didn’t have anything to arrest him with at the time in Florida, they could have tailed him.

Why wasn't he a suspect in the first place? the whole thing just seems really weirdly incompetent from the authorities.

Why? He has been a person of interest and they were looking for him before they even found her body and it became a homicide.

[PhaelixWW]

Yeah. A few days after he disappeared, they called him a "missing person" so they could officially start to look for him. It was a pretty thinly-veiled justification, because everyone suspected that he'd done something to her. They just couldn't call him a suspect before they had direct evidence of a crime in the first place.

Thats what I've been thinking. I'll be surprised if he turns up alive.

Other than that, I'm always confused/amazed by the cases that the media chooses to latch on to. Actually I'm not confused, I just don't like to acknowledge why.

I would never expect a family to actually disclose the location of a family member. They won't actually hide him, but they aren't going to speak either. Aren't there protections against testifying agasint family due to the moral dilemna?

I don't think protections like this exist in the US as far as I know. You might be thinking of spousal privilege, which has its limits as well. But helping a possible murderer is aiding a crime.

I can't say what I would do here, but damn do his actions seem guilty. Like how would he treat someone he loves like that?

There's only spousal privilege. Familial privilege is not a thing.
