BODY OF THE CRIME?
Human remains discovered after Brian Laundrie’s folks join hunt
GRISLY human remains and items belonging to Gabby Petito murder fugitive Brian Laundrie were found in Florida — on the same day his parents joined the hunt! Five weeks after Brian disappeared, his parents led police to the 160-acre alligator-infested Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park on Florida’s Gulf Coast, next to the 25,000-acre Carlton Reserve, where local authorities and the FBI had staged a massive manhunt for Gabby’s lost lover.
It was the first day Roberta and Christopher Laundrie participated in the search, prompting experts to wonder if the explosive discoveries were coincidence or too convenient to be a matter of chance.
“The sudden discovery of Brian’s remains has an odor to it that’s incredible,” Chicago cop turned private eye Paul Huebl told The National ENQUIRER.
“I think the parents have been withholding stuff from day one! They’re just not believable.”
Brian, 23, had refused to talk to police about Gabby after returning to his parents’ North Port, Fla., home without her on Sept. 1.
The two had been on a cross-country trip and her corpse was later found in Wyoming. A coroner ruled she’d died by strangulation. Laundrie was named a person of interest in Gabby’s homicide and was wanted for questioning. But he hired a lawyer then vanished without a trace on Sept. 13.
His parents had been communicating only through their lawyer, repeatedly denying knowing where Brian was. He’d left the family home without his phone or wallet, but had reportedly purchased an untraceable prepaid burner phone, which some speculated he was using to communicate with loved ones.

Pete Gleason suspects Laundrie committed suicide and gators devoured him. “Alligators are beasts of opportunity. They’ll gnaw at any body they find,” he told The ENQUIRER.
But Huebl speculated Brian may still be alive!
“If he could fake his death, people would stop looking for him and he could hide wherever he wanted,” he said.
