There’s one reason police made a mistake early in their Brian Laundrie investigation, an official says — and it had nothing to do with them.

With Brian Laundrie’s autopsy report inconclusive, and the DNA match to Gabby Petito’s body unclear, many wonder if the notebook found near his remains could contain a suicide note that may hold the answers.

Dental records confirm that the human remains recovered at the Florida environmental park are of Brian Laundrie, the FBI said on Thursday.

How long does it take a body to decompose? That’s one question people are asking as we learn more about the findings in Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.

It is “highly probable” that the human remains found inside a Florida nature preserve on Wednesday are those of Brian Laundrie, given they were discovered near the 23-year-old’s backpack and hiking gear, the family’s attorney says, but the missing man’s parents will await forensic confirmation before they speak further.

The FBI field office in Tampa is holding a news conference after a senior law enforcement official said partial human remains appear to have been found near a backpack in connection with the ongoing search for Brian Laundrie.

Human remains appear to have been found near a backpack at the Brian Laundrie search site, a senior law enforcement official confirms.

Gabby Petito’s death was ruled a homicide by the Teton County coroner, but the all-important questions of how — and when — she died weren’t known until now.

Officials thus far have determined that the 23-year-old’s death was a homicide, but how exactly she died remains a question.

The Laundrie family attorney said that Brian’s father, Chris, was asked to assist law enforcement in their search of the preserve on Wednesday, but was unable to do so.
