Why is everyone so obsessed with Gabby Petito?

While not found criminally responsible, OJ was held liable for wrongful death in a civil trial and ordered to pay about $34 million in damages. Whatever else was wrong in the world, OJ committed double homicide. Seems everyone knew it but the jury.

Yes, really strange how the FBI guy seemed to be choking. It’s sad sure, but these guys are professionals, so it’s not like it’s personal.

Good point; this case must have been incredibly brutal or unusual to precipitate that specific response from a seasoned pro. I have empathy for those in forensics and the FBI. Tough job.

My guess is he left her tied to a tree covered in honey.

A fuller story will no doubt emerge soon, which should stifle wild speculation like this.

There is nothing "wild" about it. That he has scratches on his arms, back and neck from her is HIS statement to the police.

BTW, you are free to stifle your own comments.

My noting wild speculation has nothing to do with scratches, which were acknowledge in the post - and which are plainly displayed and discussed in the video... which I linked.

Wild speculation here refers to floating a theory about her fighting off rape from forced sex during ovulation... zero basis for that... hence wild speculation.

I just looked at her Instagram. Man, this girl got around. New York City, Costa Rica, North Carolina, South Carolina, Dallas, Arches NP, Colorado Springs, Santa Monica, Great Sand Dunes, Yosemite, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Kansas, Zion NP, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands NP, Yellowstone, and on and on. They apparently left in June and have been on the road ever since. Did neither of them have a job? And, if not, how the hell did they pay for trips like these?

I read somewhere that she worked at a pharmacy and saved up money for the trip and quit the job before the trip. She has many siblings and wasn’t from a rich family, so I’m guessing they were tight on cash, or at least she likely was.

Oh, black people are all illogical to you now? Is that how it is? They just aren't as smart as you as a group? Talk about supremacist privilege. Damn.

Did I say anything about black or white in my post? How do you know you’re not presuming my race?

Yes, but not 100%. It's her, though.

I watched the FBI statement. The FBI guy was emotionally falling apart. There is something ugly about the way she was found.

Grown Men in Law enforcement need to be strong and not sniveling wimps like so many have become...They seem to think they are signalling their humanity but actually it's pathetic and weak.

In the roadside stop video, she states she is trained as Nutritionist and worked in an Organic Food Store - but quit to travel and vlog/blog.

His claim that wires scratched his arms (same marks nails make) but she scratched his neck does not make any sense because he told police he put his arms up in self defense. He managed to block her punches but not her scratching his neck.

The video shows they were having conflicts which adds to the case against him. This hairsplitting about his injuries is irrelevant.

The hairsplitting is his. It is relevant because he will have to explain in a court how his injuries came about.

Here is my recommendation to you. Do not reply to my posts. It is obvious that you are somewhat new to LRC. Trying to control what comments are made on a thread is what fools do.

I don't know why it would have anything to do with whether he murdered her. That Police will have written a report about the incident and that, along with the video, will be the evidence. I doubt he will take the stand anyway. Most guilty defendants don't.

Can’t forget about that legal eagle, Johnny Cockring.

Well, police and the FBI have called off the search for the KILLER (speculation for those easily upset by such or those claiming he was defending himself) after the FBI interviewed his parents and searched their home. He is not in the nature reserve where his parents thought he might have gone.

I bolded the racial comments above, for your ease of reference.

I didn't presume anything, Apple Juice. You're an admitted liberal and are toeing the party line expressed by fellow liberal Azteca.

Those are the facts, and they are undisputed.

Motive.

"Blah blah circumstantial evidence, I know more than you , blah blah"

The autopsy hasn't even been completed yet.

It could (probably would) reveal direct evidence.

The FBI won't reveal everythingh they know to the public.

If there was no body, then you can speculate about circumstantial evidence, this is more than that

The error the defense made in the OJ case involved the gloves. They were tight fitting. OJ was required to wear latex gloves when trying on the gloves which of course, "didn't fit." You can try this yourself if you have a pair of tight fitting leather gloves. Put on a pair of latex gloves and try to put on the leather gloves. Best of luck.
