 @johannaellsworth7105 former Chief of Scotland Yard ... oh Really? Which one would that be, exactly? There are many 'former chiefs' @ Scotland yard. And your source, for this whacky statement? A comic book?
Look, crime investigators, especially, have to believe in coincidence- in order to investigate. If they didn't believe there could be, for instance, two blue colored vehicles of the same make/model, with two different men of the same general description, each in possession of the same type firearm.... in the same general area where a crime was permitted...then they'd nab the first one they came upon as the ONLY possible suspect, because- really now...there
ARE no coincidences! So, it cannot be true there is another suspect in a blue car out there! Therefore, no 'mistaken identity' haha - and no ability to nuance between fact and fiction.
It was a complete coincidence that an Appalachian hiker came across a man on the trail, that he later swore was Brian Laundrie. He was positive...bc well, it HAD to be Laundrie bc Laundrie was familiar with the Applachian trail, the guy was bald and had a beard - furthermore he talked about his GF, and said he had to get back to her (was it Brian, totally delusional?) It HAD to be BL, because c'mon - No coincidences!
FBI followed up, found the guy - total Brian Laundrie look-alike...staring down barrel of FBI firearms.
Fortunately, FBI withheld their fire, because... guess what? They totally believe in coincidence!

 @csave9205 no, they removed the Mustang because it had a Park Ranger warning 'tow-away/impound note on it, so they had to move it. They did not bring the Mustang back and repark it! They may have used the Mustang to go back and look for Brian, idk. But they did not take it then return it and leave it again.
Ya know.. some people are just stoic af. Don't show emotion. Especially, don't show emotion in public. That does not mean they are unfeeling, emotionless Volcans! When you come across someone who doesn't say much, or hardly speaks, do you assume they are incapable of speech/thought?
You are no expert in body language to be able to ascertain the Laundrie's state of mind or their emotions. You are assuming you 'know' what they feel, by their actions, or lack of actions.
You don't - nor do even those professionally trained to read body languag know what these people are thinking or feeling. . No one knows... they will speak out in due time, and then we will all know.

 @michellemooresings jeeze - so much 'stuff'...details circulating round here, there, everywhere. But this.. out of the blue, a note to Brian from his parents not to hurt himself(?)
OK. THATS out of left field! Where'd that one come from!
C sure? (I think you were asking them about it, their source.
Also, C sure has said a couple times the Laundries moved the Mustang, but then returned it(?) Would l love to know the source of THAT tidbit also. Don't think that's true, (teparking the Mustang, but also didn't think Bertolino actually said 'Brian was grieving' . And someone told me where to look for that, and sure enough it is true.
The more I watch Bertolino being interviewed, the more I think ugh...he's a sleaze bag.

 @judem1359 DER, Jude....I'm talking about the AVERAGE IQ-
AVERAGE.. as in a whole demographic lumped together, then AVERAGED out.
Average = adding all together, then dividing the sum by the number of records/participants - whatever... yields the AVERAGE number.
Get it now?
And, no, IQ does not normally increase with age. Knowledge can increase with age, but IQ is generally a pretty static number over a lifetime.
We are born with the number of neurons we are born with. Our synapses (connectivity between neurons) can increase over a lifetime, via brain plasticity, but we generally die with the number of neurons we were born with , unless our brains are affected by cognitive decline, for whatever reason...
Even if IQ DID increase with age, as you say, your pointing that myth out has nothing to do with my earlier statement about the AVERAGE IQ of world population - or in this case American public, I guess, which is where the average IQ of only 98 comes into play.

Belinda Hudd - OK, let's see now ...either it's a grand conspiratorial cover-up, (i.e., Brian Laundrie's faked death) with all these authorities & players in on it: NPPD, FBI, dozens of SAR units, dozens of news reporting crews, County Forensic Examiner's Crew, County Coroner, and, most recently, a National Forensic Anthropogist PhD.
OR!...YOU are demented!🥴
Umm...Oh! IDK! I can't decide! WHICH scenario is more likely?
a grand conspiracy with tens of dozens of authority figures in on it... OR ??????🤷👀🤷

 @judem1359 OMG - you have no idea - neuropsychological??? Wtf! Psychology has nothing to do with this.
Neuroscience has everything to do with what I am talking about. The field of psychology and neuroscience are two entirely different sciences. Actually, psychology is not based on science anyway. It's based on human behavior....well, o.k., the 'science' of human behavior - but basically the field of psychology is not measurable....neuroscience IS measurable.
Read Robert Sapolsky PhD - maybe you'll grasp my meaning here.
You have to be making up what you think you know about human intelligence.
As I said, we are born with the number of neurons we are born with, AND unless through brain trauma or disease, (i.e., loss or shrinkage of grey matter (translates to loss of neurons, thus cognitive decline, as we see in Alzheimers' disease), the number of neurons we are born with remain fairly static throughout our lifetime. Neurons are formed in the fetus, and do not measurably increase throughout an individuals lifespan (the exception is that sometimes through, say, BDNF (brain derived neurotropic factor) it's possible to increase # of neurons NOMINALLY). To a NOMINAL degree - that means a barely measurable increase.
Again...just in case you missed it - it IS possible to (via BDNF and/or process of learning, brain exercises, etc. ), to increase the number of synapses in the brain., i.e., increased connectivity btw neurons...by a measurable amount.
synapse = connective spaces btw neurons that carry neurotransmitters from one neuron or cluster of neurons to another neuron/cluster. This allows increased connectivity of neurons in the brain, which translates to a faster thought process & increased access to memory & learning.
I have no idea why you cannot seem to grasp that I am referring to the AVERAGE IQ of a demographic number of people- i.e. a COLLECTIVE.
The AVERAGE IQ of this collective!
This does not mean that everyone is born with an IQ of 98, (or100, as you say) and it increases as we grow. I'm not talking about an individual's IQ being 98. (Though some within this collective DO have an IQ of 98).
I'm talking about the collective AVERAGE IQ of a demographic number (of people). It is currently @ 98 points in U.S - within that average there are some with a triple digit IQ - say 120, or 135 -whatever - there are those with IQ's upwards of 160 - even 200+)
The highest IQ is currently of a 21 YO from Ireland w/an IQ of 263 (measured originally @ the age of 8). He HAD this IQ at the age of 8 - he's 21 now and his IQ has not changed.
Most of the renowned genuises of today were measured at around 8 or 10 YO, and their IQ's have not changed (or increased with age, which you seem to think is possible).
THEN there are those - many more within this collective demographic with only a double digit IQ (considered 'low'). These are added to the collective to find the average IQ. THIS is why the AVERAGE IQ in this measured demographic is down to only 98 - BECAUSE all these IQ's are added together, then divided by the number of people counted in the overall demographic - this formula (addition/division of the sum) gives us the AVERAGE IQ of an entire collective demographic.
Einstein's IQ was somewhere btw 205 and 225.
DER! ...Get it now??
(If not - I give up) bc I've tried to explain this every which way from sundown.

 @JupiterRising2525 Look, Andie - you made this statement, like it's the truth, 'the public is not stupid.'
I merely pointed out (with details about our public's average IQ, and how this 'Average' IQ has been mathematically arrived at). Some here, who were able to understand my point did not feel insulted, and agreed that yes, unfortunately, the general public can be 'stupid'. It 8s a fact...we cannot say, 'the general public is not stupid'
Its is untrue....however anyone can have that opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not 'their own' FACTS.
Sorry that you feel insulted by my comments about IQ and how the average IQ of 98 has been derived at. As far as your comment that my IQ 'must be to insult others' - makes no sense. You are referring to Intent, not 8Q with that statement... Intent has nothing to do with IQ.
I responded to your comment with facts - my INTENT was to state facts - not to insult anyone. I'm not going to apologize for stating facts. I am sorry that you've chosen to feel insulted by what I wrote. You do have a choice, Andie.
What I wrote was factual, not an attack on you or anyone else.

sharon russomanno - maybe in retrospect during her convo with protesters (if that's what you are referring to, 'things she said') - but the camping trip was on the 6th, Gaby wasn't a missing person until the 11th, and Brian wasn't running from authorities at that point.
My impression of that comment that she 'lost her parents' was bc they weren't speaking with her under Bertolino's advice. And then,
of course, lost her future SIL because she was deceased, and lost Brian bc he was missing, at that point.
IMO, the Laundrie's ruined their lives and those around them by following Bertolino's advice not to talk to anyone. Brought untold sorrow down on their heads, as well as their daughter, SIL, and their grandkids. Worse advice ever... Bertolino's🙄

 @John-hp9mv John, your 'story' is evolving' - you never 'just stated'..until now...that if they (Brian's parents) have both sets of keys it means...blah blah.
What you originally asked was - 'Were the Mustang keys found with Brian's effects? (paraphrasing here). And then you indicated that IF not, keys not found with Brian's effects then Brian's parents would have got them from Brian when they got the car.
I pointed out that this was not Brian's car, AND that there were probably 2 sets of keys (all my vehicles have always had 2 sets of keys). My son used to borrow my car - he had his set, I had mine.
Can you just admit that you originally thought that if no Mustang keys were found with Brian's remains, then the parents 'got the keys from Brian' weeks ago when they picked up the car - that's what you wrote.
I pointed out, it proves nothing bc, there could be 2 sets of keys.
Now you say you were just pointing out that 'if Brian's parents have both sets of keys - THEN it means... whatever...
And, no - get real - that was not what you originally implied. Truth be told, whoever has whatever sets of keys, means absolutely nothing - too many variables - Brian could have tossed the keys away when he got there - could have left the set he used inside the vehicle - maybe there weren't 2 sets, maybe there weren't... can't deduce anything by counting the number of keys to the vehicles or who has them. If the parents have both sets, then Brian could have left his set inside the vehicle - so it actually doesn't 'prove' anything.

Also, I think Gaby's phone was not recovered?...anywhere - in the van, near her remains, nor in the items seized by FBI when they searched the Laundrie residence. The computer was in possession of the van, I think? and was seized along with the van. But, no one could be charged with theft of these items (except perhaps the phone) without the owner reporting them stolen (tragically impossible, as we know).
Brian had possession of all these items as a natural outcome of his being Gaby's traveling companion, involved in their mutual Van Life Travel Vlog. (All except for the phone, I think, which didn't turn up anywhere, anyway (from my understanding, but I could be wrong about that...not sure).

 @ninasmith4099 thanks for clarifying. Obviously I missed statements released by media attributed to the Laundrie's. Possibly the statement was passed on to media through Bertolino? Oddly, never heard of Brian being on meds or, in fact, any mental health diagnosis for him - doesn't mean its not true, and I obviously missed something there too..
I did watch the dashcam footage of the Moab stop. Pretty sure Gaby said she's OCD & Bipolar? Didn't hear anything about meds, though.
I can't go back and watch...just too painful, all around (still in tears over this whole tragedy😢) - I am one of those (few) trying to withhold judgement and have complete empathy for both Gaby & Brian & both families. I know that sounds very odd.
I did watch Rose's (Gabys close friend) interview in early Sept, or maybe late Aug, before Gaby was found- long before she was officially a missing person. Rose was asked about their relationship. She did say Gaby would attack Brian in a rage and scratch his face & he would put his hand over her mouth, or slap her face to get her off him. That's what gave me the idea Gaby's Bipolar condition was out of control. I know, first hand, how Bipolar sufferers can just 'go off' in a hateful rage. So, when Brian had scratches on his face in the Moab stop (police took photo's of his facial scratches) - it sort of made sense, to me, that he was earlier seen slapping her...then they are pulled over and he's injured but she has no marks. They both had a sweet side, but dark sides as well, IMO. The worst Rose could say about Brian in that early interview was that Brian liked to have his own way. But she did clarify it wasn't thru threatening or physical violence. He was just insistent and Gabby would get frustrated with him. She said Brian doted on her and made her breakfast every morning. Her later interview- after Gabys body was found and Brian was on the lam, and all the silence from the Laundrie's - she's saying NOW she felt all along Brian was a sociopath. That he was a liar and she thought he was a bad guy from the beginning - absolutely nothing in her later interviews about how sweet Brian was, or anything about the face scratching incidents - that's all disappeared from her verbiage now, like she never said it.

 @John-hp9mv John, I comprehended completely what you wrote. Because I proved you have no idea how to deduce facts and come to a logical conclusion...that must mean I d/n comprehend your meaning? Nope, wrong again, John...here again you've concluded incorrectly.
I was the only one who responded to your comment? And that proves, somehow, that everyone else must have agreed with you? Do you realize how laughable a 'deduction' that is?🤣
(its more comical than the 'Brian Laundrie & the lost/found Mustang keys' deduction.
Maybe you DID mean something other than what you wrote?, idk.
There is nothing wrong with my reading comprehension. it's post grad level, in case you're wondering.
If you DID mean to convey something other than what I clearly comprehended, I suggest you learn to improve your writing skills.
Frankly, I do think you really DID believe that if no keys were found with Brian's
effects/remains, that means his parents got the keys from him when they moved the car weeks ago. That is what you wrote...no getting around it.
Don't leave your day job anytime soon to be any type of investigator....OK, John?
(And my names not 'betty'...
I'll 'move along' when I see fit, John...don't worry about it. 😉
