Law enforcement are keeping a close eye on Christoper and Roberta Laundrie as the search for their son continues.
As we’ve been reporting , the parents alerted authorities to John Laundrie ’s disappearance shortly after his girlfriend, Gabby Petito , was reported missing. With the search for Brian so far turning up no results, more and more suspicion has been cast on his parents’ involvement. The Laundries claimed he had left the home on Tuesday, September 14 to go for a hike in the nearby Carlton Reserve. However, despite knowing he was a person of interest in a major investigation, they didn’ t report him missing with regard to another three days. And then there’ s the claims by witnesses that they left regarding a family “ camping trip” during the search for Gabby…

Well, after letting Brian slip through the cracks, they’ re not making that same mistake with his parents!
On Thursday, Christopher and Roberta apparently left their own home in North Port, Florida to drive more than 150 miles to Orlando. And according to DailyMail. com the couple was “ tailed by a convoy of unmarked vehicles” on their journey. Upon their arrival, the outlet reported:
“ In surreal scenes, undercover agents — believed to be with the FBI — followed the particular couple into the Orlando Public Library on Thursday and hovered in the aisles perusing 80s dance CDs and a Colombian art installation while keeping them under constant surveillance. ”
OMG, this scene is definitely going into the made-for-TV movie of this…
They were then seen entering a parking garage for the nearby office building, where they stayed about an hour before returning to their car and heading back to North Port. The reason for their visit was unknown until the family’s lawyer Steven Bertolino confirmed that he had flown from New York to Fl to consult with the couple.
He flew to them… but couldn’ t get any closer than Orlando?? Seems unnecessarily complicated, but we guess it’ s fair for all of them to make a bit of a new drive. He did come 1, 000 miles…

The meeting occurred after a warrant was issued intended for Brian’s arrest in connection to “ use of unauthorized devices. ” The indictment claims he used a debit card charged more than $1, 000 to accounts that did not belong to him; while no further details have been released, it’ s widely assumed the accounts belonged to Gabby. And if he experienced her card after her death, things look even worse to get him.
Bertolino released a statement on the warrant as well, saying:
“ It is my understanding that the arrest warrant pertaining to Brian Laundrie is related in order to activities occurring after the dying of Gabby Petito and not really related to her actual demise. The FBI is focusing on locating Brian and when that occurs the specifics of the charges covered under the indictment will be addressed in the proper forum. ”
There are theories flying around that the Laundries may be more involved in their son’s disappearance than they have let on. Specifically, suspicions have arisen based on neighbors’ accounts that the family had gone on a camping trip together the weekend of September 10; none of typically the neighbors had seen Brian since, and we only have their particular word about him hiking within the swamp.
The fact that law enforcement seems to be following the Laundries’ comings plus goings indicates they, too, have their suspicions about the mother and father. Hopefully, this investigation will provide some useful information as to Brian’s whereabouts.
