FBI took belongings from Laundrie home to build DNA match, attorney says
CBSN
The FBI visited the home of Brian Laundrie's parents on Sunday and removed personal items belonging to the missing man, Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolini confirmed to CBS News. Laundrie, 23, has been missing since he was named as a "person of interest" in the death of his fiancé Gabby Petito.
"The FBI requested some personal items belonging to Brian Laundrie to assist them with DNA matching and Brian's parents provided the FBI with what they could," Bertolini said.
Police are still searching for Laundrie in Florida. On Thursday, a Wyoming court issued an arrest warrant for Laundrie, alleging that he used an unauthorized bank card after Petito's death.
