Brian Laundrie’s Belongings Found; Medical Examiner Called To Scene

The Sarasota County medical examiner’s office was called Wednesday to a Florida nature preserve where police recently found items belonging to Brian Laundrie, the department confirmed.

The medical examiners are responding to Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, which is adjacent to the Carlton Reserve where Laundrie’s parents said he had left to go hiking over a month ago and never returned to their nearby home.

The office would not say whether human remains were found or what time they were called out to the site.

Laundrie, 23, is wanted for alleged bank fraud and is a person of interest in the homicide of his girlfriend Gabby Petito, 23, with whom he had been on an extended, multistate road trip leading up to her death by strangulation.
