Brian Laundrie's Parents Waited Longer To Report Him Missing Than Previously Thought

He's been sought for questioning since fiancée Gabby Petito was reported missing and was later found dead in Wyoming.

An attorney for Brian Laundrie, who remains missing as authorities investigate the slaying of his fiancée, Gabby Petito, revealed Tuesday that his parents last saw him longer ago than they previously reported. 

When Laundrie’s parents reported their 23-year-old son missing on Sept. 17, they said the last time they’d seen him was when he left their Florida home to hike in a nearby nature reserve on Sept. 14. He drove the family’s Ford Mustang there, his parents said, and they picked the car up and drove it home when he did not return.

But family attorney Steven Bertolino said in a text to reporters that Laundrie left for his hike in the 25,000-acre nature preserve a day earlier, on Sept. 13, and that they had simply misremembered the timeline when they spoke to law enforcement.
