The FBI investigating the Gabby Petito case has seized a cell phone recently purchased by Brian Laundrie, the family attorney confirmed. The FBI is also looking at surveillance footage from the area of Fort De Soto Park as part of their investigation. Duane "Dog" Chapman, "Dog the Bounty Hunter" has been searching in that area after receiving a tip that Laundrie was hiding out in the Pinellas County park.

Maybe the Laundries will go camping to celebrate when Brian is found …sick ..just sick.

@Ania C I am waiting for your answers !
Ania C
@Memukan of Persia and Media look at youtube “Gabby Petito case : Full Utah bodycam video”. It’s over 70 minutes
Memukan of Persia and Media
@Ania C I watched it 1hour and 17 minutes.
I know there was a 911 call, but there was also an eyewitness that flagged a cop down and didn’t call 911….that a witness testimony and signed by the eyewitness . They beat on each other and they were toxic together, so you have no idea what happened.

@Memukan of Persia and Media the victim herself tells he diminished her work

I just want to believe and I have to believe that this coward will show up someday and fkn let us know what did happen to poor Gabby. Because there was another couple of young women, a married couple that were found shot and half naked. Not too far from where Gabby and Brian were. No killer found. God Bless this country, I believe it is falling apart. I have cried many tears for Gabby, and I have never cried any for Brian. If he comes forward with the truth, I might have one fkn shred of respect for him. But I doubt it. It’s been too long for him to not come forward and say anything but I am guilty. This is where the cause of death is important, a murderer or a few of them are among us, I am just saying people, be careful, very careful. R.I.P. GABBY PETITO remembered by all, forgotten by none 🙂

My question is why are they just NOW seizing the phone? Why was this not done the first day he went “missing” or at least when they put the warrant out for his arrest?
Trish
@G III You’re right because I used the wrong phrasing. What I meant was that they’re using “unauthorized use of card” (I think it’s debit) as a reason to get him back into town and into their hands.
Daisy
@Tree Hugger exactly! Thank you!
Zzz Ok
@CruzinThru 828 I have never been in USA in my life so I doubt you know who I voted for but that doesn’t even matter because what you just said has nothing to do with what I said.

Hey. It’s the FBI( Friggen Bumbling Idiots!!!)

@Thomas Gladders the FBI and the CIA are corrupt and stupid! Remember James Comey?
NinjaRunningWild
It’s pathetic that “Dog the bounty hunter” is able to achieve more in less than 3 days than the FBI in _weeks._
Jeanie Thompson
@John Smith really?? Dont joke about domestic violence it is serious and killed this young promising girl. Awful
CruzinThru 828
Like What? … Seems “Dog the Show Boater” has found Nothing New.
The FBI had already checked the Sign In sheet at Fort Dakota. No News There.
Dog the Show Boater will not find him. Brian is NOT out Camping Somewhere…
faithisme speaks
@ Ninja, get real, on my worst day I could evade “dog” the bounty hunter. For Gods sake people are wearing masks like idiots, he could blend in anywhere. Thanks to all the Mask Holes and Cov Idiots.
CruzinThru 828
@faithisme speaks – Which of course is Part of the reason for Mask Mandates.
Criminals Love Masks… Even though they have been Proven to be Worthless in preventing the spread of Cov or any other disease. It’s a “Sign of Submission” to a Tyrant… and so everyone can see “Who Doesn’t Submit”.
Starting today, Hundreds of Thousands of people who “Refuse to Submit to the Tyrant”, will Lose their Jobs, Their Health Care, and get No Unemployment Checks.
Their Lives and those of their Family are Ruined, because they Refuse to Submit to the Tyrant in Chief.
Welcome to Communism…
Much more to come.
Don’t you find it interesting that every time the Govt. is about to do something that will Change the Lives of ALL Americans Forever, and not in a Good Way…
The Media steps in and Finds Some Case that they can “Blow Up” with an insane Amount of Coverage, to “Distract” people from what the Govt. is doing.

Everybody knows the government sucks at everything, it takes too long and cost too much.
Vincent Osegueda
he obviosly left that phone in the house to make them think that was the only phone he had in hand you gotta think out of the box
josie bitner
Right…decoy phone….how many did they buy? Parents probably using one as well….
Vincent Osegueda
@josie bitner two phones one decoy and the other for for making calls
TruLyt Services
Now warrant to check all phone carriers for his other phone acct.
Debbie Jane
@josie bitner What person, other than his parents would even want to talk with him, UNLESS, they were planning to turn him in to the police.
exitscreaming
Huh ? Why would anyone think that was his only phone ? That’s low-IQ thinking
marko strika
The phone left behind is useless like going THRU the Reserve. He is probably out of Florida by now.
Beyoncé Windmill
@A. Humphries wrong the camp site didn’t cooperate with police until now I’d say that’s perfect for him too hide family friend owns it puts him in restricted area wait till it dies down then get him moved by boat

@Jackie Reacts who wat he’s videos on YouTube 🙄

@Michelle Wells yes 🤦♂️ the sim card isn’t important your phone records everything convos, photos go on your camera now it will come up with an image because your being watched read your contract phones contract you’ve signed your life aeay

It still has something on it

@Anitamaire Rucco what? Go on tell us what the phone they brought too leave at home has on it!?

Mr. Dr. Prof. Skulhedface
@Richard Foister
If you don’t know if something is true or not, you can do one of two things:
1- look it up first
2- KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!!
Why TF would you spread information that you don’t even know if it’s true or not?!?!?
Who gives AF who someone thought was true or not.
Why TF don’t YOU look it up before you spread FALSE INFORMATION!!??!?
What is wrong with you kids?!?
sandra johnson
In this day and age with the kind of surveillance technology that is available to law enforcement, Brian is going to have a really hard time staying off the grid IF he is still alive. Drones, heat sensing equipment, things like that. Then there are the dogs that can pick up Brian’s scent if he is still on land which he may not be. I doubt that he is in the swamp. That isn’t a good place for anyone to hide out.
fitnessbeast4
@Muezza the stray right 😅😂🤣
Yt Comms3
@Moon Maiden I saw a guy quite like him on Friday in NYC.
I thought he would probably disguise himself but who knows after all this mess.
Andy Martinez
“In this day and age with the kind of surveillance technology that is available to law enforcement”, the very law enforcement at every level is the one having very hard time finding a guy.
Lang Toun
Agree, which is why he’ll aim to acquire a new face and an new ID, it’s really his only chance of disappearing for good in the modern age.
faithisme speaks
@Lang Toun , You left out one huge important fact. Most of the population is walking around wearing face masks like idiots, so he could blend in virtually anywhere. Thanks to all the mask wearing Mask Holes.
Robyn Weeks
So, they have nothing… Lolol. FBI is only good at committing crimes these days, solving them? Not so much
J
It’s in their interest to let this guy run as long as possible. That way this salacious case can dominate the news cycle, rather than federal overreach.
Robyn Weeks
@J yep deflection is the game..
Rhubarb 68
You mean to tell us the FBI just NOW seized Brian’s cell phone as opposed to immediately?

Just imagine what rubbish

It takes time to get warrants 🤦♀️
Even more time to get call logs and other info from carrier.

How is Dog the bounty hunter further ahead in this investigation with less resources than the fbi? That’s where our tax dollars are going….. siiiiick
Z A
@Kim true, but so far dog has only searched places the FBI already investigated
al rent
We need to redirect the people’s funds towards dog the bounty hunter! FBI are useless.
Z A
@al rent that’s just SO funny. 🤪
Jayne Carr

@Rose Lisembee this is not entertainment! High profile crimes need to be made public. We the people need to know we are safe!
James Barlow
I can’t believe they’re still wandering around hoping for a lucky hit in that damn bog.
MAS
@That Guy dude I was thinking the same thing…..they did say “remains”
MAS
I’m thinking more like she got in his face real bad,he defended himself a little to hard,hurt her bad because of it.then decided it was bad enough to finish the job
Sub Hub
@MAS i think he was hitting her and she was as well. explains why she has a bruise on her face (probably squeezed her really hard). He was super manipulative in the cop video and she looks too scared to admit he was hurting her. He pretty much already had the cops side.. because of his manipulation… they thought she was the only one abusing. If that was the case, and she did freak out and he did it as self defense… why didn’t he tell the police before it got that far… like when she was actually hitting him…? but ya.
That Guy
@MAS yea, she was killed and half eaten by a grizzly bear 🐻 They picked the wrong place to park and cook outside.
Brain left for whatever reason, she was alone, only a few feet from a grizzly feeding spot. Alone and cooking outside where a mother and cubs were spotted.. In the #1 place in the entire world to be killed by a bear.
Killed and drug across the river size creek, half eaten, and buried for a snack at a later time.
Enquiring minds want to know… did she taste like chicken 🍗
And will the gators that ate Brian still taste like chicken?
Chance Cachet
Don’t damn the dog for doing what he is told. BLAME and DAMN the laundries, LE and FBI for their corruption, lies, diversions, lack of morals. No decency among any of them IMO
Beautiful Disaster
Is it seriously news that they’re looking through his phone? Shouldn’t they have done that 2 weeks + ago? What’s up with this investigation?? It’s been so damn weird!

@Jennifer Markovich I do Forensics in Telecommunications and we can recover data from iPhones too. Though not sure what kinda phone they’ve got in custody and also if it was ever used.
NAOMI FERNANDEZ
@Muma Bear and the fact Gabby was a crisis actor in the music video IRREPLACEABLE for Sandy Hook. And the cop that pulled them over has a 666 tattoo. And she has a triangle/flower tattoo on her arm. There’s just so many signs throughout this whole case… it’s a damn distraction from what’s really going on in the world.
NAOMI FERNANDEZ
@J bingo!! You obviously see the bigger picture here.
Muma Bear
@NAOMI FERNANDEZ hey Here’s My Signs ,Their Bigger Photo in Front of Butterfly,Black And White She Wore A Triangle Knecklace ,The Date September 11 2021,three Girls murdered same Part Under A Weird Moon And Sun Phase ,also Phot ainfront Of Angel Wings And U Wanna Know Another Creepy ,Thing ,My Name is Tarah ,Her Mum’s Name!!!
JSwift
After their spat, Laundrie returned to Florida in her van and without her. Why was he not held for questioning?
Miriam Samaniego
@American Sweetheart absolutely correct! I understand that people’s emotions are charged up and people want to get this guy and have some swift justice. But, honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever followed a case where a person has been so openly scorned for exercising their constitutional rights!! I would have done the same thing that Brian did…retained counsel and shut my mouth. I would never do the cop’s jobs for them, especially in a case like this where police clearly appear to have tunnel vision as far as any suspect goes.
We just have to wait for all of the forensic testing results to come into play. The medical examiner has already said that Gabby’s manner of death was a homicide, but as of yet, no word as to what caused the homicide.
And so we wait, voices of calm and reason amidst voices of impatience, ignorance and those quick to fire up Old Sparky!
sun leo
Because you’re not forced to do that. You can say no..
sun leo
@Miriam Samaniego agree
Beyoncé Windmill
@sun leo unless America is completely backwards then law enforcement could and should have arrested straight away. But that said they clearly knew gabby was deceased and didn’t want to jepordise the case or finding her body. They played the long game and screwed up! They never once set eyes on him, nore did they go for the correct Warrent! They took their time accepting the case and should be investigated most probably sack the lot of layabouts
Charles Ritter
They JUST NOW got his cell phone? Wow these fools are dumber than I thought.
Patrick O'Brien
where do you work? walmart?

I definitely feel like the family has connections. This investigation is pointless

Wouldn’t that be the first thing they would have gotten the first OR SECOND time they collected evidence ?
exitscreaming
It’s easy to assume things , however we don’t know what the FBI knows , do we ?
Michael Babb
The odds of Brian walking out of the Park B4 his parents left the park, hooking up a ride with his sister? And off to a new location?
William C Neathery
The Laundrie family should be on the hook financially for the search cost of Gabby and Brian since they are complicit in their sons fugitive status.
William C Neathery
@Derek Voglis FBI, Federal Government pays for nothing tax payers do.
Patrick O'Brien
none of you dimwits have a clue about criminal justice law.

Brian will make a mistake and when he does he’ll be caught, No Rock should be left unturned in this investigation.
Vicki McLeod
Then they can hang the dirty laundry out to dry
World Record Ricky
He wouldn’t have left the phone behind if it had any useful information. Any information that may be on it is probably intentionally misleading.
