We don’t know yet, but where the remains were found is equally deadly.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
So what do you think about the Gabby Petito case?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Maybe he faked his death
That’s another possibility, found a rotting corpse, dumped some gear nearby… Won’t fool dental or dna though.
Heard one report that searchers had already found four remains out there. Not the first time cadaver dogs have appeared.
That area seems to be the local dumping ground.

She's cute because she's young and not fat but not that good for someone her age.
That discovery made me curious.

She's cute with a nice body.. is give her 7.5. definitely someone hot enough to go down on
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

As someone else said, if it's not his head or torso that was found, he is not dead.
And also, what kinda circus is this? The FBI and company spent millions of dollars and unlimited resources over a length of several weeks to find this outdoors-man-wanna-be, and the parents decide one random day to go look for him, the dad then decides to take a quick detour and find his belongings and some human remains? I mean come on man, these people and the authorities must really think the public are complete idiots.
Like I said previously, at this point I have no trust this is being handled correctly so I will leave it up to a higher power to make justice on what actually transpired to Gabby.

Are you suggesting he might have chopped off his hand and left it behind with a backpack to make people think he's dead?
From what I understand is the FBI (or maybe someone tipping them) found some of his belongings, then brought the parents out to identify them. While they were out there, they continued to search, and the dad found some more of his stuff. He didn't make the original discovery.

No, although it is not unfeasible. There have been cases of such extreme lengths eg. faking death, etc. It is unlikely this guy would do that or his parents would go to that length. But what I am saying is that finding one of his hands, legs, ear, etc will not suffice with the public to rule him as dead and the search should continue and not stop.
That is also not what I understood, but you might be right. It might be someone tipping them and having the parents come out. Hopefully, I am wrong and that wasn't the case. Because that would be simply idiotic. I'm sure the FBI is smart enough to check on that tipper and rule out any links to that family. Also, from what I understand they had already searched that specific area, with cadaver dogs, and other high-tech equipment. Can't those canines sniff human remains down to 6-8 ft of water and 15ft in the solid ground? The whole thing just makes you scratch your head and leaves more questions than answers.
I just hope, that with anything else, people simply question. Not to be rebels and conspiracy theorists for self-gratification and self-righteousness, but simply because we have a brain and we must use it.

I just saw something that said their source said all that was found was a finger. So maybe cutting off a finger wouldn't be as crazy as a whole hand. But it leaves a lot to chance. I'd hate to cut off my finger, hoping to fool the FBI, only to have a gator eat the thing five seconds later.

I have seen a recent report saying that its the parents who went out and found the stuff, so maybe you are right. It's early in the news cycles, so there's been some conflicting information. It will probably all come out eventually.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

So much for the rumors about there not being a head. Unless they found the rest of him later.
Wonder if they'll be able to find a cause of death?
Doubtful
Unless he ate a bullet, pill container is found, or enough soft tissue for dna to reveal something…
I think most will agree it was some sort of suicide. He took the path of least resistance so he wouldn’t have to face the music.

A patsy for what?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yeah.. I still think something is fishy.. suddenly his parents found his remains and not the FBI with all the maximized resources they had investigating... Maybe they planted teeth of his on a skull or something.. sounds ridiculous but anything is possible

I don't believe they ever found out how he died.
But wow, that story dropped out of the news quick.
Only waiting for the anthropologist results now. Dna match, but probably not cause of death when all we found is scraps.
If no match revealed expect a new conspiracy …
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
