Brian Laundrie lookalike ambushed by feds at gunpoint on Appalachian Trail
NY Post ^ | 10/18/2021 | Yaron Steinbuch

An upstate New Yorker bearing an uncanny resemblance to Brian Laundrie had a rude awakening when US Marshals on the hunt for the fugitive pulled their guns on him during a nap on the Appalachian Trail.

Ithaca couple Severin Beckwith and Anna Brettmann were catching a few winks at the Lodge at Fontana Village Resort after lunch when they heard a knock and their door flew open, the New Yorker reported.

“Next thing I see is a bunch of guys with riot shields with ‘US Marshals’ written on them, handguns pointed at my face,” Beckwith told the mag.

The stunned hiker was promptly handcuffed as one of the feds helped Brettmann get dressed.

I have not followed this one very closely..
Can someone tell me if there is an actual warrant out for his arrest?

Following the marshals’ advice, Beckwith shaved his beard – but he quickly regretted it “because I have much less of a chin than Laundrie does.”

I guess the Feds think Laundrie won't shave his beard. Smart, huh?

Beckwith: I’m not Laundrie!
US Marshal: I don’t care.

Feds can't do anything right

And they always do their stupidity in the anonymity of large groups and heavily armed.

He’s lucky they just didn’t shoot him and pitch him off a cliff to cover up, yet another, government screw up.

Probably some Karen at the lodge called the police, “He’s right here! You know, that laundry guy on Nancy Grace? I swear it’s him!”

They couldn’t just sit outside his door and wait for him to come out or get the front desk to call up and ask him to come down because there was an issue with his credit card or something like that? No, they had to play with their toys and endanger an innocent couple.

This is rough terrain, no place for the FBI helicopter, FBI boat and CNN news crew to cover the arrest…….

That’s OK — I’ve been wrong before, and could be very wrong this time. Most folks can’t even admit when they’re wrong, much less apologize.

That being said, I think they spent time at the library to either meet covertly with their son, leave money or a message for him to pick up later, or to give their attorney time to meet with their son before they met with him (keeping the surveillance on them instead of their attorney). But, again, if I’m wrong I’m OK with that because at a minimum they’re acting incredibly strangely as parents (by doing absolutely nothing). They’re involved.

Bozo’s........, back in the Day, Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson, all 6’ 4” of him, would have simply walked up to this couple and politely asked them for some ID.

Dime a dozen,Cops as always overreacted.Swat is over the top, especially for Credit Card Fraud.

Not sure if there are any legal route but this guy needs to research them and should have told the Lodge to stick their free breakfast and then informed the guy who took his photo to “Stand-By”. Any legal recourse or not make him sweat it.

Plus NY Post writes “ambushed napping on trail” but later write they knocked on the door.
So if the knocked on the door how was he ambushed while naping on the Ap Trail ?

Cops cant get it correct and neither can NY Post but it is Monday time for the NY Post Monday morning Laundry Dump.
