Florida fugitive Brian Laundrie’s sister told protesters outside her Lakewood Ranch home Monday that her family has been ignoring her following the disappearance of her brother and the death of his fiancée.

When asked if her parents were helping Brian Laundrie evade authorities, she said, "I don't know" and that she hadn't been able to speak with them.

"I'm in the boat where I'm getting ignored by my family and thrown under the bus by my family's attorney," Cassie Laundrie said to a group of protesters Monday in video shared by TikTok user @chroniclesofolivia.

The lawyer Laundrie seemed to be referencing, Steve Bertolino blamed the media. "I do not represent Cassie Laundrie," he told Fox News Digital in a text message Monday night. "Cassie’s comments can only be attributed to the press twisting my words and hers, which were only given to clarify prior mischaracterizations by the press, with the hopes of further sensationalizing this tragic story."

"We are just as upset, frustrated and heartbroken as everybody else," Cassie Laundrie and her husband told the crowd. "I am losing my parents and my brother and my children’s aunt and future sister-in-law on top of this."

I actually didn’t associate drugs with this case...but possible that also could be in play eventually. .... Again, evidence just hasn’t been presented.
After reading that story of “accidental suicide” it shows that everything is not as it might seem.

I've also read of cases where someone died and a person who was afraid of coming under criminal suspicion retained a lawyer, and the lawyer then called the local authorities to report the death. If the body wasn't in a suspects house or vehicle, then there was no real need for anyone to report anything. The Fifth Amendment covers more than just incriminating speech. I am just keeping an open mind about what happened in this case.
