true...they are prohibited from the active search but they usually are involved in other ways...not hiding behind an attorney

Yes, as in where are the Missing Person flyers that families usually distribute.

Brian Laundrie manhunt: Fugitive's father to join search at Carlton Reserve, lawyer says

24 mins ago

Brian Laundrie’s attorney said Wednesday that Christopher Laundrie would begin assisting authorities in the search for his son.

"Chris Laundrie was asked to assist law enforcement in their search for Brian at the preserve today," Steve Bertolino, the family's attorney, told Fox News Wednesday night. "Since the preserve has been closed to the public, Chris has not been able to look for Brian in the only place Chris and Roberta believe Brian may be."

"The North Port police informed me that they were focusing on certain areas of the preserve today and they were actually hoping that Mr. Laundrie could join them on that search," Bertolino told the newspaper. "Mr. Laundrie has consented and we are waiting for the call from the North Port Police Department to make that happen."

….

He added that North Port police "had to postpone" the elder's Laundrie's participation and that he did not take part in the search Wednesday, which saw an increased police presence after resources appeared to have been drawn down over the weekend.

"Chris and Roberta are hopeful there will be another opportunity to assist," he added, referring to both of Brian Laundrie's parents.

Brian’s whereabouts remained unknown as of Wednesday evening – but a search at the reserve has continued for weeks.

Questions
•Reason for postponing the search with the help of Brian’s father?
•Any specifics on the “certain areas of focus” mentioned in the article?

Hmm. This augmentation after consultation with the FBI seems more like a little more cooperation after being caught in a lie to me.

How so? What is the lie and link.

true...they are prohibited from the active search but they usually are involved in other ways...not hiding behind an attorney

I am referring to the family not searching, since this is the hot topic here right now. There are way too many issues that make their behaviour questionable to discuss in one post. I was referring to the issue in the post.

How so? What is the lie and link.

The lie about when BL went missing; previously reported by Mr. Bertolino as the 14th, and after consultation with the FBI the day changed to the 13th.

Regarding the Dr. Phil interview, I'm surprised Gabby's Mom didn't say anything about being on the phone with Gabby at the Moab police stop, what she was thinking when she heard what was going on.

She may have been told by the FBI not to talk about it. If the FBI believes this was a domestic violence related murder (which it looks like), previous incidents of DV may be relevant in a potential future murder trial.

 

[CharlestonGal]

Anyone think that maybe they are having his dad come “help” because they are closing in on Brian and want his dad there as leverage to help get BL to come peacefully?

Nope. It's a ruse to split the parents and get some one-on-one LE time with the dad. They won't take dad to the focused search site. They never do. They don't want parents stumbling on the remains of their child or destroying evidence in a critical area.

Instead of separating the parents in interview rooms - which the Laundries refuse to do - they split one of them off with this ruse. It was probably delayed for today because it still needed one or more officials to sign off on the operation.

JMO

They can't have family join the search because they will contaminate the search area with their genetic detritus.
The Laundries likely have some of BL's genetic material on them. This could confuse search dogs.

I know this, but that's not what I was addressing.

Two trails go into Myakka from Carlton.

From a local's point of view...
The old Florida cattle trail can be followed from Carlton into Myakka and all the way up to Georgia. Avid hikers and outdoorsman know it. There is no map (that I know of) for it.

Carlton Reserve had the first dipping stations for cattle in FL, and they were dispersed all the way up to Georgia before the cattle could be put on a train.
Follow the dipping stations (concrete bowls in the ground) and you can make your way easily into Georgia.


Nope, it's pretty much a sanctuary. The only hunting that is allowed are wild pigs and most of those are trapped. In order to trap pigs, you have to be licensed and hired by the county.

was it flooded enough recently that BL could have drowned in it even if he knew his way around more or less?

So… we’ve a slight revision to the previous map I posted earlier today in this thread, #54 & that previous map should now be disregarded.

Your work is amazing! Thank you.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Have they checked his attorney's hotel yet? Makes me wonder if he's not going back and forth between different places and plain sight

I am waiting till their lawyer steps in front of a mike. I dont even know what he looks like.

North Port police spokesman Josh Taylor disputes this claim from Bertolino. "In no world would we ask or have any actions like that," he said, deferring further questions to the FBI.

Just an off the wall question.
What is the general consensus
Are the Laundrie Parents thought to be somewhat sophisticated, or are they regular people with no life experience that would guide them in this matter.

 

[momrids6]

I’ve got a son the same age as BL. I’m trying to wrap my head around how I would feel if this, god forbid, happened to us. I think I would rather he be alive and in jail for the rest of his life than dead. I think I would be pretty desperate to find him, unless I already knew where he was. The not knowing his fate would drive me crazy. The parents have got to want this all to end. All MOO.

I wouldn't have to worry about where any of mine were- as I would have turned him in. Now the worry about the entire thing- I understand that.

I think FBI has told everyone not to talk about certain subjects. Especially Brian's trip back home on 8/17 and anything about the ongoing breakups. Could influence jury??

 

[coffeeandacig]

was it flooded enough recently that BL could have drowned in it even if he knew his way around more or less?

Nope. No drowning. Unless a gator got him.

IMO, “excited” is a word you use when you’re going on vacation or you land a great job. It is not the word you use when you’re asked to participate in searching for your son, who’s been missing for 3 weeks and has a federal warrant out for his arrest. I doubt Gabby’s stepdad would have used that word when he flew out to Wyoming. That word choice by SB is grotesque.

I hated that he used the word “excited.” It like physically made me uncomfortable.
