Neighbors in the Florida community have a message for Brian Laundrie, one of the most wanted men in America, who has been named \u201ca person of interest\u201d in the homicide investigation of his fianc\u00e9e, Gabby Petito, but not a suspect:<\/p>\n

\u201cTurn yourself in. They\u2019re hunting. They\u2019ll find ya,\u201d according to a published report.<\/p>\n

Laundrie, 23, has not been named a suspect in Petito\u2019s murder and it is still unknown if he played a role in her death. However, he has not spoken to the FBI, and since Sept. 14 has fallen off the grid. On Sept. 17, Laundrie’s parents, Christopher, 62, and Roberta, 55, claimed that they had not seen their son since Sept. 14, according to multiple news reports.<\/p>\n

A massive search that includes drones, canines, and\u00a0ATVs and sniffing canines continues at the 25,000-acre Carlton Reserve, which is\u00a0not far from Laundrie\u2019s family home, and approximately 24,000 miles away from where Petito’s body was found in the Wyoming campsite.<\/p>\n

Laundrie was last seen on Sept. 14 when he left his North Port Florida home located on Wabasso Avenue, which he once shared with Petito and his parents.<\/p>\n

His parents told officials that their son had reportedly gone on a hike and that was the last time they had spoken to him.<\/p>\n

Charlene Guthrie, who lives across from the Laundrie home, told Fox13 News<\/a> that she was disturbed after hearing that the remains that were found were Petito\u2019s, and spoke about the activity taking place outside the family home days before Laundrie went MIA<\/p>\n

\u201dHe mowed the lawn. Him and his mother went for a bicycle ride around the block,” Guthrie said.\u00a0\u201dI mean, everything was just normal life once he came back.”<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cAnd I just can\u2019t get over the fact that they \u2014 it seemed like nothing bothered him. How can you do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

While Laundrie has not been accused of a crime, the remains of the young woman, who\u00a0he allegedly planned to marry, were found Sunday night in a remote area of Wyoming’s Bridger-Teton National Forest and confirmed late Tuesday by the Teton County Coroner and the FBI<\/a> to be Petito\u2019s, who they say died by homicide, Digital previously reported.<\/p>\n

“I mean, I just \u2026 can’t believe they didn\u2019t do something,\u201d said Guthrie. \u201cI\u2019m really angry now that they \u2026 let this go. And that everything was so natural and they remained so normal through the whole thing, you know, while they were here, till he went on the run.”<\/p>\n

The disappearance and death of the 22-year-old Blue Point, Long Island, native, described as a \u201cfree-spirit, who was living the dream,\u201d traveling cross-country with her love\u00a0and documenting their\u00a0adventures on their personal Instagrams and a travel account under the name \u201cNomadic Statik,\u201d has struck a chord with many across the nation since Petito\u2019s story ended so tragically.<\/p>\n

And now, Guthrie, like many others, are asking why Laundrie\u2019s parents did not speak with officials sooner. It was reported that Laundrie had returned home on Sept. 1 before he went MIA, 14 days later.<\/p>\n

“I have children, and I know that you do what you can to protect your child, but, you know, that can go so far, and you gotta do the right thing eventually. You have to,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
