Brian Laundrie’s remains found in Florida park, FBI says

The FBI confirmed Thursday that remains found in a heavily wooded Florida park are those of missing fugitive Brian Laundrie, who had been the subject of a massive manhunt following the death of his girlfriend Gabby Petito.

“On October 21, 2021, a comparison of dental records confirmed that the human remains found at the T. Mabry Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve and Myakkahatchee Creed Environmental Park are those of Brian Laundrie,” the agency said in a statement.

The remains were found about a 40-minute hike into the marshy park, where Laundrie went for a walk after leaving his parents’ home on Sept. 13.

The grisly discovery came after Laundrie’s parents were summoned to the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, where family attorney Steve Bertolino said “some articles” belonging to Brian Laundrie had been found.
