...committed suicide, according to a forensic anthropologist.
This goes a little way to redeeming him in my eyes. No, the suicide doesn't bring Gabby Petito back, but it allows her family closure, and sooner rather than later. It also saves the State and the taxpayers from paying for a trial and the expense of imprisoning him. He salvages some small amount of dignity by doing the right thing. All else is between himself and his God.

Human Remains Found In Florida Confirmed To Be Brian Laundrie
Story.
Presumably he committed suicide and saved the State the cost of trying and imprisoning him. That's definitely Doing the Right Thing. It's probaby a better outcome for the parents of Gabby Petito, who now won't have to endure the publicity of a trial and the knowledge that their daughter's probable murderer lived while their daughter was dead. A life for a life. Probably the best outcome available.
Follow-up story.
My belief is that Laundrie's parents knew exactly where he was and even provided him the means of committing suicide, since it seems likely that is what has occurred. Not likely via a gun, since that would remain with the body unless later retrieved, but perhaps via sleeping pills or an opened vein. The Florida wildlife has seen to the destruction of most of the evidence, apparently.

If You're a US Capital Policeman and You've Just Murdered a Trump Supporter...

If This Was a Hollywood Caper Movie...
...then the FBI would announce that Laundrie's parents had been arrested for conspiring to aid their son in evading capture, and he would turn himself in to prevent their suffering.
It has the advantage of probably being close to the truth.

Update: Jack the Ripper Identified By DNA Evidence?
An update to this post from September 6th.
Looks like I was write to qualify my post with a question mark, because the DNA evidence is being challenged as incorrect.
Looks like the scientist involved in the DNA work got some calculations wrong, and is being called out on it. He's standing by his work at the moment, but if he's an ethical scientist he'll be willing to admit a mistake, if mistake it is.

Let's Be Clear: It's Only a Baby If You Value It as Human Life
Otherwise it's just a fetus.
The New York Times referred to three murdered children as “fetuses” in an article about the conviction of Kermit Gosnell Monday.
Gosnell, a former Philadelphia abortion doctor, was found guilty of first-degree murder Monday afternoon for severing the necks of three born-alive infants.
Dehumanization is always required before killing.

The Relentless Logic of Al Sharpton
via Gateway Pundit:
REV AL SHARPTON (28 Dec 2012): In any civilized society you do not see massacres continue to happen, from Tucson to Aurora to Columbine to Virginia Tech to where we are now in Newtown to Chicago and you keep the same laws when clearly they’re not working.
ROSCOE IN MARYLAND: What happens when the criminal goes to knives Al?
REV AL SHARPTON: Then you deal with knives.
ROSCOE IN MARYLAND: Oh I see.
REV AL SHARPTON: The same thing as if you have a head cold and the same thing you do if you have a head cold and the cold is gone and you have a headache. Then you take headache medicine. The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it.
Taken to its logical end, the Rev. Al solution would still leave you able to bite someone's leg off:
Although I guess Rev. Al would, at that point suggest knocking their teeth out.
Still, that one line...
"The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it."
Hey, Rev. Al, in major cities throughout the country we have a problem with violence. We've identified the source of the problem. Are you sure you want us to deal with it? Really sure? I mean really really?

What the Hell Is That In the Room?
What? We don't see anything.
Chicago’s murder rate of 15.65 per 100,000 people looks nothing like the American 4.2 rate, the Midwestern 4.5 or the Illinois’ 5.6 rates, but it does look like the murder rates in failed countries like Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. To achieve Chicago’s murder rate, African countries usually have to experience a bloody genocidal civil war or decades of tyranny.
But Chicago isn’t even all that unique. Or the worst case scenario. That would be New Orleans which at an incredible 72.8 murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. If New Orleans were a country, it would have the 2nd highest murder rate in the world, beating out El Salvador.
Louisiana went red for Romney 58 to 40, but Orleans Parish went blue for Obama 80 to 17.
St. Louis has a murder rate just a little lower than Belize. Baltimore has a worse murder rate than South Africa and Detroit has a worse murder rate than Colombia. Obama won both St. Louis and Baltimore by comfortable margins. He won Detroit’s Wayne County 73 to 26.
Homicide rates like these show that something is broken, but it isn’t broken among the Romney voters rushing to stock up on assault rifles every time Obama begins threatening their right to buy them; it’s broken among Obama’s base.
Voting for Obama does not make people innately homicidal. Just look at Seattle which is agonizing over its 26 murders. That’s about the same number of murders as East St. Louis which has only 27,000 people to Seattle’s 620,000.
So what is happening in Chicago to drive it to the gates of hell ahead of Zimbabwe and Rwanda?
A breakdown of the Chicago killing fields shows that 83% of those murdered in Chicago last year had criminal records. In Philly, it’s 75%. In Milwaukee it’s 77% percent. In New Orleans, it’s 64%. In Baltimore, it’s 91%. Many were felons who had served time. And as many as 80% of the homicides were gang related.
Chicago’s problem isn’t guns; it’s gangs. Gun control efforts in Chicago or any other major city are doomed because gangs represent organized crime networks which stretch down to Mexico, and trying to cut off their gun supply will be as effective as trying to cut off their drug supply.
America’s murder rate isn’t the work of the suburban and rural homeowners who shop for guns at sporting goods stores and at gun shows, and whom news shows profile after every shooting, but by the gangs embedded in the urban areas controlled by the Democratic machine. The gangs who drive up America’s murder rate look nothing like the occasional mentally ill suburban white kid who goes off his medication and decides to shoot up a school. Lanza, like most serial killers, is a media aberration, not the norm.
Could've sworn I saw an elephant in the room. A black elephant. Must be imagining things.

By the Beard of the Prophet!
A judge orders Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood murderer, to be shaved.
Please Lord don't let it turn out like this.
(Not that I think it will, but that immediately popped into my mind).
And yah, I notice that more appeals are required before Maj. Jihadi gets shaved. If ever.

Meanwhile, In Murmansk...
...they apparently have caught a Jeffrey Dahmer-style cannibal serial killer.
An aspiring chef, he liked to render his victims into sausage and meatballs and post his cooking recipes on the internet.
For you students of crime, there are similarities to the crimes of Fritz Haarman, the "Butcher of Hanover."

A Case of Fratricide
It started out innocently enough, with two SC peckerwoods throwing rocks at each other, but escalated when one brother pulled a knife.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater than I can bear.

The Crack Pack
One man was stabbed to death early Sunday after he got into a fight with another man at an East Independence Boulevard motel, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said.
Witnesses said two men, Sammy Davis Best, 44, and Kareem Anthony Banks, 26, started to argue at the Charlotte Inn motel, 2701 E. Independence, and then began to fight as their struggle moved toward the road, said Officer Robert Fey, a CMPD spokesman. When police arrived just after 2 a.m., Best was lying with multiple stab wounds by the median that separates the road near Bojangles' Coliseum.
Just another Saturday night in downtown Charlotte.
