“They are built form of similarly,” North Port Law enforcement Department spokesperson Josh Taylor instructed CNN affiliate WINK on Monday in an special job interview. “No circumstance is perfect” Laundrie’s stays were found previous week at a character reserve near his family members residence, and his parents could be crucial to comprehending what took place to Petito and later on to him.
Just after Laundrie returned to Florida without Petito, police noticed him generate absent from his relatives household September 13 in his Ford Mustang, Taylor informed WINK. Then, two times afterwards, the Mustang returned.

Police now believe that the vehicle experienced essentially been driven back to the house by Laundrie’s mom, Roberta Laundrie, Taylor mentioned.
But for the future two days, police considered Brian Laundrie was at home.
Investigators realized the blunder September 17, when his moms and dads advised police they hadn’t observed their son because September 14, a Tuesday.

As to the Mustang’s driver on September 15, “I think it was his mother, who was putting on a baseball cap,” Taylor mentioned. “They had returned from the park with that Mustang.
“So, who does that, correct?” the law enforcement spokesperson ongoing. “Like, if you imagine your son’s missing due to the fact Tuesday, you’re heading to provide his car again to the house — so, it didn’t make perception that anybody would do that if he wasn’t there. So, the unique finding out with a baseball cap, we imagined was Brian.”

“Everybody makes mistakes. But Brian and Roberta are not ‘built’ the same. Also, it was (North Port police) that set the ticket on the Mustang at the park and if they noticed Brian go away on Monday in the Mustang, which is information to me, then they should really have been viewing the Mustang and the park setting up on Monday and they would have identified it was Chris and Roberta that retrieved the Mustang from the park.
“Now to be distinct, none this might have produced a variance with regard to Brian’s lifetime but it absolutely would have prevented all of the false accusations leveled by so a lot of versus Chris and Roberta with respect to ‘hiding’ Brian or or else funding an ‘escape,'” Bertolino added.

The Laundries later on instructed law enforcement they had absent to the mother nature preserve on September 15 to retrieve the spouse and children automobile.
“Let the record be apparent, the Laundries claimed Brian did not arrive property the night time he went out for the hike,” Bertolino explained to CNN past week. “I truly noted that to the FBI, personally.”
