Former FBI Agent Maureen O'Connell: Brian Laundrie will be found alive
Fox News
Former FBI agent Maureen O'Connell said she was confident that Brian Laundrie, a fugitive who is of interest in the murder of Gabby Petito, will be captured alive.
On Sept. 11, Petito was reported missing to New York police by her mother, Nicole Schmidt. On Sept. 14, Laundrie disappeared. Before he left, Laundrie allegedly appeared at an AT&T store in North Port, Florida, where he bought a burner phone while accompanied by an older woman, TMZ reported Wednesday "He wanted the authorities to think he did not have a phone," O'Connell said of the purchase. The Laundrie family attorney later said that Brian made the purchase. At the outset of the investigation, while Petito was still considered a missing person, police begged for cooperation. "We are pleading with anyone, including Brian, to share information with us on her whereabouts in the past few weeks. The lack of information from Brian is hindering this investigation," North Port Police Chief Todd Garrison said.
After weeks of searching, investigators confirmed a body found in Grand Teton National Park, located in northwestern Wyoming, was Petito's. The cause of death was determined to be unnatural causes.
