Gabby Petito's good friend, Rose Davis, recently shed light on the kind of person she thinks Brian Laundrie is.
While speaking with People, Davis also said that she's confident Brian Laundrie is hiding in the wilderness because he's equipped to survive in that kind of environment for months.
"He's out in the wilderness, I promise you. He's out there. He is. If he's alive, he's out there, camping out... He lived in the Appalachians by himself for months," David told People.
Brian Laundrie charismatic but jealous
During an interview with News12, Davis described Laundrie as charismatic but very jealous.
"He also wanted what he wanted when he wanted it, and he'd find a way to get it. Not in a violent manner, but if he didn't want Gabby to do something, he'd find a way to make it so she couldn't do it," she told News12.
While speaking with 48 Hours, Davis also said that Laundrie could sometimes exhibit some toxic traits. She also stressed that Laundrie has a way of getting what he wants all the time.
"And I don't mean in a physical way, he's gonna force it. He's just gonna... I don't want people to say I'm calling him a full manipulator, but he'll manipulate the situation to get what he wants out of it. And, you know, he didn't want her to go out one night with me and he stole her I.D. because you can't get into the bar without your I.D.... and, you know, this was really upsetting to her, you know, you're engaged. It's not, you know, it's not supposed to be like that," she told 48 Hours.
