Under pressure from the community and the press, suspected killer Brian Laundrie has now gone into hiding from the police. Up til his disappearance, Laundrie had refused to cooperate with the FBI and local police to help locate his missing girlfriend.
Protesters had been gathering outside the Laundrie house since Thursday this week, hoping to pressure Brian or his parents into cooperating with authorities. Gabby Petito’s family called on the Laundrie family to help them find their daughter. The Petitos asked the Laundries “as parents, how can you put us through this pain” and begged them to at least tell them where Ms Petito was left, or if they are even looking in the right area.
Social media users are now speculating that Laundrie may have fled to Puerto Rico. According to Twitter users, Gabby’s account on the hiking app AllTrails recently showed a geotagged location in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Social media users have put together the following timeline of Gabby's disappearance:
August 12: Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie argued and hit each other, according to a police report from Utah.
August 25: Gabby face-times her mom, says she’s in Grand Tenton National Park.
August 25, 5pm: Verified sighting of van by couple at Jenny Lake parking lot in Grand Teton. https://ksltv.com/472747/tipster-talks-about-spotting-gabby-petitos-van-in-grand-teton-national-park/?
August 27: Gabby texts Mom and Snapchat-texts friend that she is heading to Yellowstone
August 29: Gabby’s friend said they planned to talk on the phone on the 29th about meeting up in Yellowstone shortly after. Gabby never answered.
August 29, 5:30pm: Brian, alone, asks a couple in Colter Bay Village in Grand Teton for a ride to Jackson. He offers $200. Brian says his fiancé is in their van working on their social media and he had just spent a multiple days camping the Snake River, an unregulated camping ground out in the middle of nowhere. Woman says for someone who was camping for multiple days, Brian didn’t look or smell dirty. 5 minutes into drive, once Brian realizes they are headed South, he freaks out and quickly exits the car at Jackson Lake Dam. Brian hurries out of car and then he goes “Ok you know what, I’m just going to find someone else to hitchhike.” Woman in car believes he wanted to head north and didn't realize they were driving south. (North is direction back towards Yellowstone, through Grand Teton.) Drops him off at 6:09 PM. Woman says Brian had a long sleeve, pants, hiking boots. Woman recalled how unprepared Laundrie looked for someone who had been hiking and camping outside for days. “Looking at his backpack. It wasn't full," Baker said. "He said all he had was a tarp to sleep on. Which, you think if you're going camping for days on end you'd want food and a tent and he had none of that. https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/gabby-petito-disappearance-tiktok-user-claims-she-picked-up-bian-laundrie-hiking-in-grand-teton-national-park

September 18: 50 officers from the North Port Police Department, the FBI and agency partners begin a search for Brian Laundrie in the Carlton Reserve. Vehicles, air units, drones and K9's have been deployed. His family says they believe he entered the area earlier this week.
It is widely speculate that Brian stole Gabby's phone and impersonated her by texting her mom that she had no cell service in Yosemite on August 30 while on the road. He slipped up when he misspelled Yellowstone for Yosemite.
