Gabby Petito sleuths all say the same thing about Brian Laundrie in new surveillance video taken hours before her death
BRIAN Laundrie's outfit and demeanour in never before seen footage taken shortly before Gabby Petito's death was a huge red flag, according to sleuths.
The clip - released on Monday - revealed tragic vlogger Gabby's final hours shopping at a Wyoming Whole Foods on August 27 last year.
In the video, she's seen strolling through the supermarket with her fiancé Brian, who is wearing a hat and sunglasses in the store.
An outfit that, according to the amateur detectives, raises alarm.
One wrote: "So creepy and weird...hands in his pockets almost the whole time (only out for a few seconds here and there) and wearing sun glasses inside.
"Looks like he's almost trying to disguise himself."

Another added: "So he’s wearing sunglasses inside . Should raised a red flag to someone."
Sleuths also pointed to Gabby's body language as showing the vlogger "was not happy" and "attempting to protect herself" during their shop.
One wrote: "So sad. Wish I could jump in the video and warn her. She doesn't look happy. Arms folded.
"Her body language is saying she's not happy.
"And he looks like a weirdo just following her around the store like a puppy. Not looking at anything or buying anything. Weirdo."
Others pointed to footage from the parking lot of the store in which Brian appears to slam shut the door of their van.

"The way he got out of the van and slammed the door shut on the driver's side, clearly indicates he definitely p***ed off about something??" one wrote.
Another sleuth said you "could see the tension between them", adding: "They don't even appear to speak to each other really.
"There are so many red flags in this video."
Gabby vanished during a cross country road trip with Laundrie in August last year.
Her body was found September 19 at a campground near Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming.
A coroner determined she’d died about three weeks earlier of “blunt-force injuries to the head and neck, with manual strangulation.”
Her boyfriend Brian returned home to Florida in early September but went missing soon after.
In October, his parents found an item belonging to him in a nature preserve near their house.
Further searching turned up Laundrie’s remains, a revolver, backpack and the notebook. Medical examiners determined Laundrie died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He had confessed to killing Gabby in his notebook.
In a lawsuit filed in March this year, the Petito family alleged Laundrie murdered Gabby on August 27 – the date of the footage.
The newly released clip captured the couple pulling into the car park before Laundrie appeared to slam the door and open the trunk to get a hat.
They walked into the store together but Laundrie, who was wearing a hat and shades, seemed to lead the way.
Gabby can be seen following close behind with her arms crossed.
Cameras inside the grocery store captured the pair shopping for about 15 minutes.
There's no audio in the footage, but Gabby can be seen grabbing some cheese beside a coffee bar before they left.
After sitting in the parking lot for about 20 minutes, they turned on to Highway 89 toward the Bridger-Teton National Forest campsite, where Gabby's remains would be found around three weeks later.
A body language expert told The US Sun on Tuesday that Petito showed signs of "fear" and was "closed off" from Laundrie in the last known video footage of the young couple.
“As soon as they are seen walking toward the door you notice something very off," body language expert Patti Wood said.
Reacting to a video obtained by Fox News Digital, Patti said: “It's very clear that she's afraid and closed off from him.
"She’s closed down, cut off, and is so small and tiny."
Wood added: “She looks frightened and they're not communicating with each other."
Gabby's previously reported final sighting was at a Tex-Mex restaurant.
Nina Celie Angelo, of New Orleans, told Fox News that she was traveling through Jackson Hole on the 27th with her boyfriend when they saw Brian arguing with a waitress while Gabby sat by his side.

The witness claimed that Brian left the restaurant and returned at least four times during the incident and that Gabby eventually stepped in to apologize for the "aggressive" behavior of her fiancé.
The new video suggests that Brian and Gabby left the restaurant and headed to the Whole Foods afterward.
