[quote]I'll keep looking, I know the Independent said 7 bodies were found in Carlton Reserve during the searches but they're behind a paywall now.

While the world's media was camped out at the Carlton Reserve, during a search for a person/body, SEVEN bodies were found and not one of those discoveries was reported?

Here's what the Independent actually said in its quest to turn this story into a nonsensical cross-country murder spree.

[quote]Five bodies have been found since Gabby Petito vanished and thrust missing people into spotlight

[quote]Spotlight on Gabby Petito’s death and the disappearance of Brian Laundrie has sparked renewed focus on other mysterious deaths

[quote]The bodies of at least five missing persons have been found amid the intense focus on Gabby Petito’s homicide and the disappearance of fugitive Brian Laundrie.

[quote]Mr Laundrie has been missing for five weeks after going on the run from authorities following the death of Ms Petito, who was found in a remote national forest in Wyoming on 19 September.

[quote]Authorities also suspected Mr Laundrie of involvement in a double homicide in Moab, Utah, but later admitted he had no involvement in the murder case.

[quote]The discovery of missing Colorado woman Sara Bayard’s body this week was the latest in a series of unexplained deaths in locations linked to Mr Laundrie.

[quote]While local law enforcement and the FBI have not officially linked Mr Laundrie to any other deaths, and have ruled some suicide, the coincidence has set off a intense speculation online.

[quote]A Reddit group dedicated to following the case, which has attracted nearly 150,000 members, was the first to point out Mr Laundrie’s connection to the deaths.

Then there's a brief profile of each of the five:

Sara Bayard

[quote]Ms Bayard, 55, was last seen at a convenience store in Parker, Colorado, on 28 June and was reported missing on 4 July. The Denver Channel reported she was found dead in Parker Colorado on 9 October, no cause of death has been released.

Lauren Cho

[quote]The 30-year-old chef from New Jersey disappeared on 28 June while hiking alone in California’s Yucca Valley.

Robert Lowery

[quote]The Teton County Search and Rescue team located a body matching Mr Lowery’s description on Tuesday at the base of the Teton Pass, about 65kms (40 miles) from where Ms Petito’s body was found. His death has been ruled as suicide.

Josue Calderon

[quote]Mr Calderon, 33 was found dead in the Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic route that links to national parks in North Carolina, on 9 October. The discovery of his body sparked rumours it may be that of Mr Laundrie, who was the subject of dozens of unconfirmed sightings in the area.

Unidentified Alabama man

[quote]As police were chasing down dozens of sightings of Brian Laundrie, they zeroed in on a tip that he had been spotted in Tillman’s Corner, southwest of Mobile, Alabama, on 18 September. A large police presence swooped on an area near the Walmart store there after police found a dead body in a dumpster close to the sighting.
