What is going on here? 22-year-old woman vanishes while documenting cross-country trip with boyfriend

"Brian is refusing to tell Gabby’s family where he last saw her," the Petito family said. "Brian is also refusing to explain why he left Gabby all alone and drove her van to Florida. These are critical questions that require immediate answers."

Yeah, for sure right from the start...there were critical questions not being answered. I thought of some possible scenarios, that would explain why the boyfriend would return home in [b]her[/b] van without her, that didn't involve her being dead.
The Laundrie's home is in a town not far from mine, and I've been to North Port and driven through it many times. I was hoping so much, that she'd turn up [b]not[/b] dead.

@Piper I had that same wish, that she would be ok, but I am not really surprised at how this ended. I am curious about whether he will be found alive or not. It seems they had a very volatile relationship.

@Peapod It does seem that way about their relationship, if what the 911 caller said they saw is true. At this point, there doesn't seem to be reason to believe they were making that up.

I wasn't really surprised either, when I heard her body had been found. Although it's not been officially confirmed yet, I know there is very little doubt.
