'Brian Laundrie's items found as medical examiner and cadaver dog respond'
Some articles belonging to Brian Laundrie were reportedly discovered at the Florida nature reserve where authorities have been searching for him for the past month – and a medical examiner and cadaver dog were apparently en route.
Chris and Roberta Laundrie, the parents of the missing 23-year-old, headed into Florida’s Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park early Wednesday morning, where an officer told them they ‘might have found something’, Fox News reported.
While searching the park, ‘some articles belonging to Brian were found’, the Laundrie family’s attorney Steven Bertolino said.
The Sarasota Medical Examiner’s Office and a cadaver dog have also been called in to the site, according to CNN.
The park reopened this week to the public after nearly a month-long search led by the FBI looking for the fugitive. Laundrie has been named a person of interest in the disappearance and subsequent homicide of his fiancé Gabby Petito.
While he hasn’t been charged with anything related to Gabby’s death, which was ruled to be by strangulation, the FBI issued a warrant for his arrest related to his unauthorized use of her bank card.
The Laundrie parents claimed their son went to Myakkahatchee on September 13 and never returned.
The couple have kept silent when asked about Gabby’s whereabouts before her remains were discovered in Wyoming – and they continue to stay quiet despite being hounded by protestors and press outside their home.
Chris and Roberta snuck out early Tuesday for an hours-long shopping trip, where they dodged questions about their son’s whereabouts and dropped a package labeled ‘meal kit’ off at FedEx.
Earlier on their shopping trip the couple went to Walmart to get cases of water. When exiting the store, they ignored questions from media asking if their son was alive, and whether they are in contact with him, the Daily Mail reported.
The couple also went to an AT&T store for half an hour. This trip follows a previous claim that Roberta bought her son a burner phone before he disappeared.
The Laundries claim they didn’t buy a phone that day though, and that their son had the contract for it.
