Florida statute may work to advantage of Brian Laundrie's parents
Fox News
A nationwide manhunt remains underway for Brian Laundrie, who authorities say is a person of interest in the disappearance and homicide of deceased Gabby Petito.
Of particular interest is how Laundrie’s parents, Christopher Laundrie, 62, and Roberta Laundrie, 55, claim they picked up their son's Mustang car on Sept. 14 from the nature preserve that authorities are now sweeping for any trace of Brian Laundrie. Some have speculated as to why they would bring the car home, without their son, leaving him in a large nature reserve full of alligators and snakes.
The parents did not report their son missing until police showed up at their home on Friday, Sept. 17, three days later.
So far, Laundrie’s parents have not been charged with any crime, and experts say that could be a tall order under Florida law.
