Police receive tips that Brian Laundrie may be hiding on Appalachian Trail
NY Post ^ | 10/01/2021 | Lee Brown

North Carolina authorities have been investigating a flurry of calls suggesting that Brian Laundrie is hiding out on the Appalachian Trail, according to local reports.

The sheriffs’ offices in Watauga and Avery counties both confirmed to WSOC-TV that they had received more than half a dozen tips earlier this week about Gabby Petito’s 23-year-old fugitive boyfriend.

It has also been a focus for the private search team led by Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman, whose daughter Lyssa Chapman tweeted a plea for “experienced HIKING/SURVIVALIST near the Appalachian Hiking trail in North Carolina.”

“If you have hunters in your family, near the AT in NC. Tell them to Check your game cameras!!!!” she tweeted Sunday, also asking locals to widely spread Laundrie’s image.

If they put a million dollar bounty on his head it would make him a bigger prize...I’m packing up my tent and camping supplies, just in case they make it worth my time, lol

Well, the AT is 2,180+ miles long. There are only two directions to it, north & south. That should narrow things down quite a bit. Team up w/ Nancy Disgrace, Mr. Chapman....that would be worth the price of admission.

Snark.

He drove or had someone drive and park his car south. So of course he went north.

True but I'm guessing that law enforcement and those they'll trust in the search (maybe Dog, I don't know?) are operating on information and tips that the general public doesn't know.

With the technology available on drones, it is becoming increasingly hard for someone to hide in wilderness areas. Drones can search large areas and with low-light cameras, infra-red cameras, and thermal cameras can operate 24 hours a day.

Laundrie might not even be in the country. The parents could have been distracting the police by the camping trip and their son is on a boat to an island in the Carribean.

I don’t know where he went, obviously. Was mostly being sarcastic. But when the media was reporting they were searching the area near his abandoned car I personally thought it was silly. I suppose they had to do it for CYA reasons. Maybe they would have found physical evidence he was there.

I do agree with you though. They are operating with non-public information. IR light and heat sensors and other technologies can work. But someone on the run should know that and not hide out in the wilderness. With 2 million people crossing the border northward in the last 9 months, how hard can it be to cross the border southward?

This time of year the AT is jammed. He’s not going to go unseen.

Needed a good sneaky private eye from the start, slap GPS tracking devices on all the family members vehicles from beginning when he showed up home alone.

AT hikers adopt trail names so they end up being relatively anonymous. Plus hikers on the trail tend to not spend a lot of time watching the news.

There was a fugitive from Ohio who hiked the entire trail several times over his 8 years on the run.

Domestic Abuse laws these days give cops a lot of leeway.I dont think they need someone to press charges in many jurisdictions.
Just hearsay is good enough, sort it out later. It saves lives.

I knew someone that was like that and he threatened to kill the woman several times and also threatened suicide if she didn’t stay with him. He was insane.
