The Laundries were basing the date Brian left on Brian Laundrie recollection of certain events. Upon further communication with the The FBI and confirmation of the Mustang being at the Laundrie residence on Wednesday September 15, we now believe the day Brian left to hike in the preserve was Monday September 13.

As I have maintained over the last several months, the Laundrie‘s have not publicly commented at my direction which is their right under the law, assuming everything the Petitos allege in their lawsuit is true, which we deny, this lawsuit does not change the fact that the Laundries had no obligation to speak to Law Enforcement or any third-party including the Petito family. This fundamental legal principle renders the Petito’s claims to be baseless under the law.

The petition is simply to administer his estate, which is primarily the bank account, the return of property by law enforcement is separate.

Steve Bertolino

Let the record be clear, the Laundries reported Brian Laundrie did not come home the night Brian Laundrie went out for the hike, i actually reported that to the FBI, personally.

Steve Bertolino

I believe Brian is still in the preserve, and as such, I don’t think he has access to the news.

Steve Bertolino

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 Laundrie believe Brian may be, unfortunately North Port police had to postpone Chris' involvement but Chris and Roberta Laundrie are hopeful there will be another opportunity to assist.

Steve Bertolino

No, they don't believe Steve Bertolino's in another area. They believe Steve Bertolino is in the preserve.

Steve Bertolino

Chris Laundrie was asked to assist law enforcement in their search for Brian at the preserve today, 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.

Any prior communication by Cassie that does not reflect these dates is simply a difference of relating an answer to a question misinterpreted by Cassie or poorly posted by the inquirer.

Steve Bertolino

It is my understanding that the arrest warrant for Brian Laundrie is related to activities occurring after the death of Gabby Petitos and not related to Gabby Petitos actual demise, the FBI is focusing on locating Brian Laundrie and when The FBI occurs the specifics of the charges covered under the indictment will be addressed in the proper forum.
