the fbi narrows down the search to the campsite in grand teton for petito. mercedes, listen, by now this search, as we know, it spans across multiple states. where might this investigation into gabby petito s whereabouts and brian laundrie s case go from here in. well from here? well, thankfully if, law enforcement kudos to to them they ve really used all their resources in trying to find both of these individuals. this will be searches and, obviously, there s a search in the national superb in florida looking for brian laundrie. what we ve seen so far at least it s being reported that there s been from the laundrie home, maybe that ll have some clues. the van was confiscated and, apparently, searched. obviously, there s going to be any they lived in the vanishing so there s obviously going to be evidence of gabby petito being in the van. not sure if there s any evidence of anything beyond that, and, of course, the search will continue for gabby in the teton national
identify it at this point, depending on how long it has been out there. there are wolves in teton national park. there are grizzly bears. there are any number of scavengers who may have done something to the body that apparently has been found. so we are back there looking at the podium there where this news conference is about to begin. so ted, if you were running the investigation, the search for brian laundrie, and i don t know, do you call it a missing person s search at this point? do you call it a search for a potential suspect? what do you call it? you know, the situation in florida? i think, jon, they are treating brian being missing just as the definition a missing person. he is not a suspect according to law enforcement. i think in the back of their minds that they believe at some
where we just got the awful news from the fbi, the charles jones, the fbi agent who spoke, the awful news that they believe that they have found the body of young gabby petito. laura, what can you tell us? hi, jon. well, that news conference, though it was brief contained that devastating information. it was very quiet in the room, held in the auditorium here at the grand teton national park visitor center. this is an area of course that is absolutely gorgeous. this is where gabby petito and her boyfriend, fiance, brian laundrie came to take part in their cross-country trip, and just a short while ago, charles jones, as you mentioned, when we got here, we were told by the coroner that they could not give us any type of identification. they couldn t even tell us the sex of the human remains that were found. he came out and started his
found dead. of course the fbi still needs to positively identify her, but a lot of questions right now as to what brian laundrie may have known and what type of involvement he may have had in the disappearance and now death of his girlfriend. of course those questions again that need to be answered, and so far police have maintained that he s only a person of interest, but again, lots of questions, jon. jon: yeah, charles, and i want to throw a couple of them back at you because you gave us this information. but i want to stress this, because it is so bizarre. so laundrie tells his family that he s going to the carlton reserve on tuesday; right? takes a backpack. he s known to go hiking there. they go there on wednesday, you said, and found his car. the car was empty. they brought the car back, but they didn t report him missing to police until friday? that s right, jon. we spoke to the north port
stage he will become a suspect, if in fact something injurious has happened to gabby, up and to her death, if that materializes. but they are treating it as a missing person, just as they are treating gabby at this stage as a missing person. jon: yeah. so even if they find brian, the fact that he s lawyered up, and he has constitutional rights jon: ted, the news conference is beginning. let me interrupt you. we ll take this news conference life live. live. i m supervisory agent here in wyoming for fbi denver. standing with me today are acting chief ranger matt wilbur with the national park service, hunter bailey, chief of the national park services investigative services branch. we also have teton county sheriff matt carr and jackson police chief michelle weber. first and foremost, on behalf of
