People reports that Brian Laundrie’s parents reveal what happened during the last meeting with his son, before he disappeared on 13 September.
According to Chris and Roberta Laundrie, he must have been completely out of his mind just before he left his parents’ house in Florida.
Felt helpless
Chris Laundrie says he felt helpless when he realized he could not stop his son’s escape.
The family’s lawyer, Steven Bertolino, says the father wished he did not let his son leave the house.
“Brian was completely out of his mind when he left, and Chris has confided in me about the incident, and said that he wished he did not let Brian go,” Bertolino told People.
Last Wednesday was Brian Laundrie’s remains found in one of Florida’s many nature reserves, by a wooded area in Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.
In sorrow
Painful time
Bertolino goes on to say that it has been a painful time for his parents, since Brian left them on September 13, before saying:
– But Brian was a grown man. He wanted to go out the door, and was entitled to make that decision himself.
Investigators confirmed the identification of Laundries’ skeletal remains, one day after they were discovered at the Carlton Reservation in Florida. Near Laeundrie was a backpack containing a notebook and clothing. The police carried out the identification by examining his teeth, compared to previous visits to the dentist.

The breakthrough, which led to the remains being found, came shortly after Laundrie’s parents advised police to search the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, Bertolino confirmed.
Tip of the parents
According to CNN It was Laundrie’s parents, Chris and Roberta Laundrie, who asked police to go to Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port, where the remains were found.
– After a short search, they found objects that belonged to Brian. This led to an extended search in the area, explained the family’s lawyer, Steven Bertolino.
The extended search led to the discovery of the human remains.
Large search operation
Laundrie’s girlfriend, Gabby Petito, was found dead in a Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on September 19.
The autopsy report showed that the 22-year-old died of suffocation, and the FBI described it as a homicide. Laundrie was early described as a “person of interest” in connection with the murder case.
– She was strangled, it was a murder, forensic pathologist Brent Blue said during a press conference.
Petito had then been missing for eight days after Laundrie suddenly had come home alone from the road trip they were on in the United States.
Sniper probably killed by elephant
The couple had been driving around in Petito’s white van since June, but in early September, the New York woman was suddenly sunk into the ground.
Brian Laundrie entrenched himself in his parents’ home in North Porth, before he too suddenly disappeared. On September 17, his parents, who did not want to talk to the police, reported him missing.

Called the emergency number
It was on July 2 that Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie started the journey in the habit, which they had converted into a motorhome.
– There is no better place than the small home we have created, she wrote Instagram two days later, and tagged Justin Laundrie.
Petito posted photos from all the places they visited, such as Colorado Springs and Zion National Park in Utah.
On August 12, nearly three weeks before Laundrie returned to her parents in Florida, concerned eyewitnesses alerted police and said they had seen a man beat a girl in Moab, Utah.
It turned out to be Petito and Laundrie.
When police found the couple, Gabby Petito was very upset. Everything was filmed by police body cameras. She hiccuped and said that she had had an argument with her boyfriend.
“I have obsessive thoughts and sometimes get very frustrated,” she said, explaining that Laundrie would not let her into their car.

Arguing over Gabby’s phone
In a report, police officer Daniel Scott Robbins wrote that Gabby Petito was inconsolable when she sat in the back seat of his police car, wrote The Washington Post.
“At no point during the investigation did Gabrielle stop crying, breathing heavily or putting together a sentence without wiping away tears, wiping her nose or rubbing her hands on her knees,” he wrote.
In the conversations, it must have emerged that the relationship between Laundrie and Petito had become more and more strained.
– She struggled with the psyche, Robbins wrote in the report.
Police Officer Robbins wrote that he sent Gabby Petito to the Safe Haven shelter while Laundrie was given a hotel room.
The relationship was not reported.

Argued loudly
On August 27, eyewitnesses Petito and Laundrie saw The Merry Piglets Tex-Mex restaurant in Jackson, Wyoming.
The couple must have quarreled while they were on their way out the door, and Petito must have cried while Laundrie looked angry. The latter must have walked in and out of the restaurant and been angry with the employees.
On the same day, Petito’s mother received a text message she describes as “strange”. The message asked if she could help Stan, Gabby Petito’s grandfather.
– Can you help Stan? I only get his voice messages and missed calls, the message said.
Mora responded to the message, as Petito never called her grandfather Stan. On August 30, Petito’s family received another text message to which they responded, and which they do not believe Petito sent himself.
– No coverage in Yosemite, it said.
Then it was quiet from the New York girl. When the family had not heard from her in eleven days, they sounded the alarm.

On September 1, Brian Laundrie returned home alone to his family in Florida, where he obtained a lawyer.
While the police declared him a “person of interest”, he went underground.
– How can you do this to Gabby?
On September 11, Gabby Petito was reported missing by the family.
When they contacted Brian Laundrie, they received no answer and were furious.
– Brian left Gabby in the wilderness with grizzly bears and wolves, while sitting safely at home. At home! Brian, how can you do this to Gabby, thundered the family in the press release they sent out on September 16th.
Arrow and arc theory strengthened
Laundrie’s parents then said that they had not seen their son since September 13, when he went on a trip to the huge Carlton reserve.
According to them, he did not have a mobile phone or a wallet with him.
On September 19, a body was found in Grand Teton, Wyoming, which turned out to be Petito.
