FBI returns to Brian Laundrie’s home to collect personal items, search continues

The FBI returned to Brian Laundrie’s home in North Port.

FBI Task Force agents were seen entering the home and then entering a camper on Thursday afternoon. They were in and out in under a minute.

Steven Bertolino, the attorney representing the Laundrie family, said the agents were there to collect “some personal items belonging to Brian that will assist the canines in their search for Brian.”

“There is nothing more to this,” he said.

An FBI spokesperson declined to comment.

Also new Thursday was more police body cam video from the interaction between Petito and Laundrie in Moab, Utah. Petito told police Laundrie put his hands on her, but Petito then said she hit him first.

“But I hit him first,” Gabby told the officer. “He grabbed my face like this. He didn’t like hit me or punch me. He grabbed my face with his nail, and I definitely have a cut here. I can feel it.”

While the search for Laundrie continues, demonstrators were outside of the home beginning in the morning.
