Officers defend fruitless search for Brian Laundrie
Six days into the search for Brian Laundrie, police in North Port insist the grueling, exhausting search at Carlton Reserve in Sarasota County is worthwhile as they try to solve Gabby Petito's disappearance. And his indictment by the FBI on a federal fraud charge has not impacted the effort.
NORTH PORT, Fla. - Television's Dog the Bounty Hunter is joining the search for Brian Laundrie. On Saturday afternoon the reality star was seen banging on the Laundries screen door. The family did not answer and he, along with his wife, left the home after a few minutes. Police were seen shortly afterward entering the Laundrie's home and exiting within minutes.
"Dog and Francie have experienced extreme loss themselves," his team said in a statement. "Their hearts go out to Gabby's family for what they're going through and want to help bring justice for her death."
Dog the Bounty Hunter says he "wants anyone with information on Brian Laundrie's whereabouts to call me at 833-TELLDOG" and added that "all information will be kept confidential."
After seven days of searching a 25,000-acre wildlife reserve for Brian Laundrie, officers from the North Port Police Department, Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation don’t seem any closer to bringing in their person of interest in the disappearance and death of Gabby Petito.
Tracking Brian has proven to be difficult, but law enforcement says they are not deterred.
"We are working as hard to find him now as we did on day one," said North Port PD Cmdr. Joe Fussell. "That is really what is carrying us through. Is the drive to try to find Brian and try to put closure to this investigation."
The Laundrie family’s lawyer said that, before Brian went into the swamp at Carlton Reserve, his parents, Christopher and Roberta Laundrie, were worried he could hurt himself. The lawyer revealed on Friday that Brian’s parents say he did not take his phone when he left last Tuesday, September 14.

Crews said they would resume the search Saturday, having already combed the whole north side and much of the Venice side of the reserve.
"We are not wasting our time out here. We are doing our due diligence to find Brian in an area that intelligence had led us that he could possibly be in," Fussell explained.
Dog and Francie are currently searching where Brian Laundrie was last seen.
