Florida fugitive Brian Laundrie’s attorney said Wednesday that Christopher Laundrie would begin assisting authorities in the search for his son – who was last seen on Sept. 13, just days after his fiancée Gabby Petito officially became a missing person.
The FBI later uncovered Petito’s remains at a remote Wyoming campsite on Sept. 19.
"Chris Laundrie was asked to assist law enforcement in their search for Brian at the preserve today," Steve Bertolino, the family's attorney, told Fox News Wednesday night. "Since the preserve has been closed to the public, Chris has not been able to look for Brian in the only place Chris and Roberta believe Brian may be."
He added that North Port police "had to postpone" the elder's Laundrie's participation and that he did not take part in the search Wednesday, which saw an increased police presence after resources appeared to have been drawn down over the weekend.
"Chris and Roberta are hopeful there will be another opportunity to assist," he added, referring to both of Brian Laundrie's parents.
Josh Taylor, the North Port Police Department's chief spokesman, told Fox News that his department did not ask for Chris Laundrie's involvement – nor did police "postpone" it.
"In no world would we be the agency asking the family to help search in an FBI led investigation," he said, deferring further questions to the FBI, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
And Pat Diaz, a former Miami-Dade homicide detective who also served on FBI task forces, said he doubted federal investigators would bring in a suspect's father to help their search.
"They may have found stuff in the reserve for the father to identify," he said. "Not a body, but belongings."

I don’t disagree. Was just pointing out it wasn’t to identify remains or objects.
This story reminds me of the way the world has been since covid and Joe in the White House. It doesn’t make sense- it’s got elements of evil and something is just off about it all.
You’re making an awful lot of assumptions in the absence of evidence.
You have the best description of the saga! How is dear Alex “Murder Follows” Murgaugh doing these days?
Oy, the drama! His law firm is suing him for setting up fake accounts to siphon millions from the firm! But wait, there’s more! His wife Maggie visited a divorce lawyer before she was ...murdered.
But see, as awful as the whole low-country saga is- it makes sense. Money, greed, ego, power and corruption. One can understand it- unlike the Laundrie-Petito story.
Bonding is good. Gaining trust, humanized.
Baby steps to progress hopefully.
Dont kid yourself although that is difficult but no one got their feet wet today.
Nice day for a Deere Gator ride.
Your fav Fox 13 should have picked up on that but they were not allowed in the park or the preserve, just as no one else has.
Your wonderful description above reminded me that the Gabby Petito saga brings to mind the quirky plots of Twin Peaks.
The owls are not what they seem...
Hopefully...Papa Laundrie and LE ditched the swamp cart and spent a long while walking under the cover of heavy tree canopies today. It made me ponder whether there was a strategic advantage to having time away from Mama Roberta.
OMG, yes!!! Twin Peaks!
Here’s a twist. There’s a short video clip and a still photo of Chris Laundrie today, walking beside an LEO at the reserve. The officer bears a strong resemblance to Brian- short beard, cap, shades. It’s just eerie. Of course someone on Twitter juxtaposed a profile of Brian next to leo- creepy look-alike.

The resemblance is uncanny! What are the odds it was psyops planned that way? Great find!
Too funny! Maybe today’s swamp stroll was a father and son reunion, and the joke is on us all. Like the end of the movie when we find out it was all a bad dream 💭🤣😂
LOL!
How do you see an ‘uncanny resemblance’ between two guys with beards, wearing caps and sunglasses?
Brian Laundrie has one of the most generic physiognomies you can find in a casual online search of photographs today - especially with beard, sunglasses and cap.
You seem to be a very credulous person.
It’s possible that’s why they picked him- clever idea. I dunno though- for years I was a believer in the feds- but that phase is past me!
It’s baffling- all of it.
What, exactly, do you find ‘baffling’?
