BRIAN Laundrie's parents have issued a statement on the disappearance of their son's fiancee Gabby Petito.<\/p>\n
The couple are taking care of Laundrie at their Florida while the probe into Petito's disappearance continues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Laundrie's father Christopher 'Chris' Laundrie, 62, and mother Roberta Laundrie, 55, are residents of Wabasso Avenue in North Port, Florida.<\/p>\n
According to their tax documents, they own a 10,000-sq.ft property in the area.<\/p>\n
They were recently pictured in front of their house on Tuesday, September 14, 2021.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
On September 14, 2021, the Laundries issued an official statement to the media through their lawyer.<\/p>\n
They said: "This is an extremely difficult time for both the Petito family and the Laundrie family.<\/p>\n
"I understand that a search has been organized for Miss Petito in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. <\/p>\n
"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.<\/p>\n
"On the advice of counsel the Laundrie family is remaining in the background at this juncture and will have no further comment."<\/p>\n
Petito was reported missing\u00a0on September 11, 2021, and\u00a0officials are investigating the case. <\/p>\n
Laundrie has since been\u00a0named a "person of interest"\u00a0as he continues to avoid FBI interviews.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Petito's family issued a statement in response, begging the Laundrie family to assist in finding their daughter.<\/p>\n
"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."<\/p>\n
It went on to slam Laundrie for staying silent: "Brian is refusing to tell Gabby's family where he last saw her. <\/p>\n
"Brian is also refusing to explain why he left Gabby all alone and drove her van to Florida.<\/p>\n
"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.<\/p>\n
"How does Brian stay in the background when he is the one person that knows where Gabby is located? <\/p>\n
"The Schmidt and Petito family implore Brian to come forward and at least tell us if we are looking in the right area."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It's unclear if the Laundries had a second child.<\/p>\n
While not much is known about Laundrie, he is known for being just as adventurous as his partner.<\/p>\n
According to his\u00a0Instagram\u00a0bio, he is a "nature enthusiast," and his most recent pictures are from his cross-country travels.<\/p>\n
His Instagram account also indicates that he is an artist as he has multiple pictures posted related to printmaking art.<\/p>\n
