Ain't no electical hookups in the backcountry. Not that you need AC in most of those places at night.

That’s minivan life. What they had is one of those vans that you see in a European city making bread deliveries. Those things are here now.

I passed one on my way home the other day.  They appear to be smaller than your standard minivan.  The idea of living in (out of) one of those things with another person for a weekend, much less months on end, is nuts.

They saw the allure of traveling and making videos for a living. It can be done as there are pretty good youtubers who do. Those youtubers have big ass Mercedes Sprinter vans with all the fixings of home. There two went about it really really cheap. No way two people can put up with each other in that cheap, small ass confined space. She looks looked crazy in a constant complainer way and he looks rapey, and apparently murdery, af. His best compliment is that he has eyes of Sauron. Not a great match to be spending 24x7 in a 7x5' box.

Dude is/was a murderer.

Quite the combo.

[Helobious 9503]

No one asked, but my hot take: I’m guessing he waded into chest high swampwater somewhere & shot himself so he’d turn into gator food, never to be found. That way he could forever live on as some big mystery.

[InkaUtexas 26356]

Have not been tracking closely. How do we know she was batshit crazy? He does look rapey in a shitty porn star way. 

Agree he is gator food.

She admitted that she has an OCD problem. When a woman admits that she can be a lot OCD, then yea, you know she's complaining about every fucking thing which is out of place by 1 cm. No way excuses what he did. He's scum. His parents and sister are scum.

Exactly. Girl definitely didn’t deserve anything to happen to her, but as someone who has driven across the country many times I can say that there have been times when I’ve almost killed one of my friends. 

being cooped up too long like that can make you crazy. It takes more out of you than you think.

Also I believe she admitted to cops she was violent with the guy prompting the situation that caused the 911 call. Not hard to imagine something similar happened and things got out of hand.

Thanks for the update. Yeah, have done many a drive and know what you all mean. Never thought about killing anyone, just leaving them in some messed up gas station near Dumas.

the caller who made the 911 call which lead to the video stated that he slapped her. maybe she was in an abusive relationship and took the blame to the cops. maybe they both slapped each other. maybe the caller mistook him pushing her away as she was attacking him.

i'm not buying what was said in the video as the whole truth of what actually happened. 

well, except the OCD part. 🙂

The transcript from the traffic stop video reads like a cautionary tale of a crazy chick.   Anxiety. OCD. Triggered.  He wanted to lock the van and have each of them walk around separately so she could calm down; she was  hysterical and wanted the keys.  Every guy on this board knows that at that point, the boyfriend was in a no-win situation.   Unfortunately he choose very poorly; she's now dead and he's either dead or will end up someone's bitch in jail.    The correct answer was to hit the eject button on the road trip.

This is fantastic and that dude is going to be so pissed at himself when this is inevitably pointed out to him by a fellow inmate in prison.  I can't believe I forgot about the Zone of Death, which was described as a "glitch" in the constitution here:   Listen to (or read transcript of) awesome story here

I highly encourage anyone who is unfamiliar with the Zone of Death and likes strange stories to look into this one.    

 

[Telegraph_it 3371]

Looks like we get to put the Zone of Death to the test soon.

Rescue crews are searching Yellowstone for a former Navy SEAL after his half brother was found dead in the park (msn.com)

 

[phdhorn 6224]

I think if someone actually did try to cart someone to the ZOD and kill them, that there would still be a trial.  Based on the only case (apparently) testing this zone, a guy killed an elk illegally there.  The judge ruled that a trial would happen in Wyoming's district and they were gonna have it.  But they did a plea deal (the guy was "correctly" brought up on other charges, like poaching, etc.).  In the end they reached a plea bargain, but the guy ended up doing 4 years (I think).  He never challenged the law but many legal people think he would've won if he did.  It's kind of complicated (he killed the elk in Montana's little part of Yellowstone, so was not compelled to have a trial in Wyoming).  From what I've read, legal eagles said that the judge/courts who denied his motion to dismiss were wrong, but the case was never tested in appeal.

And that was for killing Bambi's brother.

Imagine how much more pressure there would be in a homicide there.  My guess is that they'd try the person in Wyoming and get a conviction, and they'd do time.  Likely they'd appeal and it would be interesting to see how it would come out (technically it seems he should go free).  But the public pressure to let the guy go would be enormous, so my guess is he'd do time first and then get released on appeal.  Plus apparently Congress has had this brought up several times in the past but let it go.

All that said, man Laundrie was so close to pulling that off (like what, maybe 10 miles to Idaho's Yellowstone?).  What if he did kill her on that parcel?  Now that would be an interesting trial.

But probably don't matter, I think either he dead or in Mexico now.
 

[Nicole44 22197]

If he’s in there at all he’s probably dead. I’m not ruling out that he may have had a bigger head start than his family said (wouldn’t surprise me if they helped in some way.) agree with everyone who has said that the trip should definitely have ended as soon as the cops showed up. Period. Not that the trip was a good idea anyway for those two. 

[dcar00 14608]

if you kidnapped someone outside the ZOD and killed them in ZOD you would at least be tried for the kidnapping and other crimes(maybe armed) etc. but it would be interesting if the actual murder happened in ZOD.

and while we're at it..

i'm betting he hit her harder than he intended and she hit her head on pavement or a rock or something.

i'm also kind of betting we'll never know.

but it is true, white girls carry the narrative. this has been a lead on all news channels this week. it is interesting because of the social media angle, where they were clearly acting out a happy life that probably wasn't so happy, but nevertheless, they were out there. 

but that dude killed her, accidentally or not, and he's probably dead too. the whole thing is a tragedy.

If it's blunt force trauma to the head they can often tell even with just a skeleton. Your theory is probably more likely than mine, but I like the bigger payout.

The case if he is found alive is going to have all sorts of problems…and it’s clear if he is found alive he’s not going to confess (based on his actions up until now.) like how can anyone even be sure he even ever came back to his parent’s house at all? One of the last texts her parents got (which they thought was weird and not from her) “can you help me with Stan? I keep getting his messages and missed calls.”  His cousin Cassie’s hubby is named Stan. Who the fuck knows at this point. But it would not surprise me if he never made it back to Florida to being with…but the authorities have done such a stellar job up until this point and they think he’s in a swamp/possibly in a boat.

I saw a movie one time where this chick was lost in the woods, and this Sasquatch cat finds and ends up fucking the ever-living shit out of her. Not sure if he killed her. I'm thinking they probably lived happily ever after the way she was enjoying the fucking he was giving her.

[UTGrad98 2316]

Would it not have been smarter to stay at the park in Wyoming where they both would have been reported as missing. Been found missing days or weeks later and blame the guy who killed the other 2 campers. He was knocked out and left in a remote part of the park and she was gone when he woke up.

Looks like an American Airlines 737 from MIA - DFW is covering the Myakka River State Park. 

[Nicole44 22197]

So according to local news stations (where his parents live) the helicopter assigned to the search keeps making passes over their house and into the reserve and they got the diving and boating team resources as of about two hours ago.
