Brian Laundrie manhunt: Florida park documents confirm family camped out after Gabby Petito disappearance

NORTH PORT, Fla. – Brian Laundrie’s mom Roberta did check in to a Florida park about 75 miles north of the family’s home earlier this month, records obtained by Fox News show.

Laundrie, 23, vanished on Sept. 14 – although his parents didn’t say anything until three days later. His 22-year-old fiancée Gabby Petito was found dead in Wyoming on Sept. 19 – weeks after the couple was seen camping near the site of her remains. The coroner later ruled her death a homicide.

Duane "Dog" Chapman, also known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, announced Saturday he was entering the search for Laundrie, and tips quickly poured in. He told Fox News he received a heads-up on Monday that Laundrie’s parents spent the night in Fort De Soto Park with their son twice in early September from Sept. 1 to 3 and Sept. 6 to 8.

The documents confirm Chapman’s suspicion that the Laundries went camping at the Fort De Soto Park outside St. Petersburg between his return from out West on Sept. 1 and the day Petito’s mother reported her missing, Sept. 11. They show the family checked in on Sept. 6 and out on Sept. 8 – but there's no record on the document of them the week prior.

"I will no longer give that dog credibility or dignify his false claims with the time of my reply," Steven Bertolino, Laundrie’s attorney, told Fox News. However he admitted told local media that the family camped out on Sept. 6 and 7 and that "they all left the park."

The documents show the checkout was actually recorded on Sept. 8 – three days before Petito officially became a missing person.

Thomas Rutherford, , another camper whos name appeared on the ledger, and his wife were celebrating their anniversary at the campground, three spots down from the Laundries, he told Fox News.

He could "vaguely remember" seeing their truck and camper because he and his wife rarely see campers attached to vehicles anymore. Other than that, he had no interaction with the family.

Florida rancher: 'No way' Laundrie is surviving the swampVideo Chapman on Tuesday questioned why the family would go camping when Petito, who lived with them, was nowhere to be found. Neighbors had also raised concerns about the camping trip.

Confirmed. See I told you so. It wasn’t fake. The Laundrie family went camping without reporting Gabby Petito missing.

Perhaps Mom and Dad took care of what had to be taken care of and let the swamp get an extra feeding ration?

Who will find Brian? Dog the bounty hunter, or the famous but incompetent crew?

It’s a shame Gabby didn’t pay heed to the helpful Utah police officer who interrogated her after her fiancee, Laundrie, drove her vehicle right into a curb (with the officer’s car right behind him in broad daylight). On his bodycam video (which is on youtube), the officer suggested to Gabby that given her self-professed severe anxiety problems, she may want to avoid being around people who make her anxiety even worse. Great advice. If she would have left with the officers and got far away from that guy, she may have still been alive today.

He had mentioned it on another thread today and some posters had doubts about his assertion.

The girl was reported missing on September 11,

Why do you assume that the Laundrie parents knew that she was missing on the date it is reported that they started off camping?

How do you know what their son told them as to why he came home without her?

“If she would have left with the officers”

Brian left with the officers.

That dog clown could be hindering the law enforcement investigation releasing information they don’t want released at this time, but then he could also help them since he is not as confined by the constitution as they are. We will see how this plays out.

Son comes home alone in HER van.

They refuse to answer her mother’s questions if Gabby is with Brian.

Lessons learned in the Eric Rudolph manhunt come to play here. He was found accidentally, eating from a dumpster behind the diner where the FBI sat and ate their meals for six months.

Brian left with the officers.

So Laundrie left with the officers and Gabby was left alone with her vehicle in the middle of nowhere? In the bodycam video, one of the officers told Laundrie that they're going to arrest Gabby and Laundrie responded, "Can I go to jail, too?" The guy's a nutcase.

Dog The Bounty Hunter Was First To Break This News.
The Laundries should all rot in hell. Every one of them.

It was seven years after the Olympic bombing and it was a Save-a-Lot so I don’t think the FBI ate their for six months.
