Who are Brian Laundrie’s parents?
BRIAN Laundrie’s parents have issued a statement on the disappearance of their son’s fiancee Gabby Petito.
The couple are taking care of Laundrie at their Florida while the probe into Petito’s disappearance continues.
Who are Brian Laundrie’s parents?
Laundrie’s father Christopher ‘Chris’ Laundrie, 62, and mother Roberta Laundrie, 55, are residents of Wabasso Avenue in North Port, Florida.
According to their tax documents, they own a 10,000-sq.ft property in the area.
They were recently pictured in front of their house on Tuesday, September 14, 2021.
North Port Police spokesman Josh Taylor told The New York Post the couple were spoken to but did not make their son available, according to meamw.com.
What have the pair said about Gabby Petito’s disappearance?
On September 14, 2021, the Laundries issued an official statement to the media through their lawyer.
They said: “This is an extremely difficult time for both the Petito family and the Laundrie family.
“I understand that a search has been organized for Miss Petito in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
“On behalf of the Laundrie family it is our hope that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is re-united with her family.
“On the advice of counsel the Laundrie family is remaining in the background at this juncture and will have no further comment.”
Petito was reported missing on September 11, 2021, and officials are investigating the case.
Laundrie has since been named a “person of interest” as he continues to avoid FBI interviews.
Meanwhile, Petito’s family issued a statement in response, begging the Laundrie family to assist in finding their daughter.
“The Schmidt and Petito family are going through the worst moments of their lives. Their beautiful twenty-two year old daughter is missing and the one person that can help find Gabby refuses to help.”
It went on to slam Laundrie for staying silent: “Brian is refusing to tell Gabby’s family where he last saw her.
“Brian is also refusing to explain why he left Gabby all alone and drove her van to Florida.
“The Schmidt and Petito family beg the Laundrie family to not ‘remain in the background’ but to help find who Brian referred to as the love of his life.
“How does Brian stay in the background when he is the one person that knows where Gabby is located?
“The Schmidt and Petito family implore Brian to come forward and at least tell us if we are looking in the right area.”
Do the pair have any other children?
It’s unclear if the Laundries had a second child.
While not much is known about Laundrie, he is known for being just as adventurous as his partner.
According to his Instagram bio, he is a “nature enthusiast,” and his most recent pictures are from his cross-country travels.
His Instagram account also indicates that he is an artist as he has multiple pictures posted related to printmaking art.
