As more details continue to emerge into the death of Gabby Petito and the disappearance of her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, the internet has become rife with speculation about both of them. While some of the speculations are grounded, there are many rumors and gossip that seem largely unfounded. One rumor is getting traction, and many are curious to find out if it is true.
Internet detectives are involved in all aspects of this case.
While the rumors of Gabby being pregnant are speculation, they are not the only area in which internet users have taken it upon them to examine virtually every aspect of Gabby and Brian’s lives.
They’ve scanned YouTube videos, including one by Jenn Bethune, in which they claim to have seen a man digging in the field where Gabby’s van was last spotted.
All of this speculation may be useful, but it also speaks to the obsession that many online have with solving cases that are, in general, probably better left to professional criminal investigators. While the police may be competent at their work and internet sleuths are helpful, they can be too intrusive when the family is still grieving the loss.
It remains to be seen if anything comes out of all the internet excitement surrounding Gabby’s case. It seems that the internet detectives will continue to comb through the details of Gabby’s case until they either find something conclusive or become bored. Gabby’s tragic death at such a young age is a tragedy, regardless of what happens.
