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?
I guess the Feds think Laundrie won't shave his beard. Smart, huh?
Looks like my older son and me, although he does not have a beard!
Beckwith: I’m not Laundrie!
US Marshal: I don’t care.
And they always do their stupidity in the anonymity of large groups and heavily armed.
“Sorry to have disturbed you folks. You got a dog we can shoot for our report?”
He’s lucky they just didn’t shoot him and pitch him off a cliff to cover up, yet another, government screw up.
“in my book”
Thank heaven your book wont get published !
Great movie.
Got dementia, posted the same ? numerous times ?
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…….
MANY, MANY, many guys in his age group look like Laundrie............I know several..........................
Gear queers looking for any excuse to do a violent raid on anyone.
Yep.
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.
That guy looks like Aqualung!
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.
