Who is Gabby’s fiancée Brian Laundrie?

The DailyMailreported that Laundrie has been very quiet about his fiancée’s whereabouts and has refused to speak publicly about the situation and even hired an attorney since his arrival home.

Although not much information is available about Laundrie’s life, it is well-known that he is 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 shows that he is an artist, with multiple photos related to printing art.

Before her disappearance, Laundrie and Petito were working on documenting their journey on YouTube under the name “Nomadic Statik.”

As the investigation continues, Laundrie remains a suspect due to his suspicious behavior surrounding the disappearance but in a shocking turn of events, he has since made headlines after he was reported missing on Friday, September 17, the same day his sister Cassie’s interview aired on ABC.

Previously, on September 14, Laundrie issued a statement through his lawyer, saying: “This is an extremely difficult time for both the Petito family and the Laundrie family.

I understand that Miss Petito has been searched in Wyoming near Grand Teton National Park. The Laundrie family hopes that Miss Petito finds her family and that the search for Miss Petito succeeds.

“On the advice of counsel the Laundrie family is remaining in the background at this juncture and will have no further comment.”
