Could BL have filed the missing person's report himself?
Who knows? You did make me giggle. I mean, how many more twists and turns are gonna happen? I think a lot more. You can’t make this stuff up. Twilight Zone on steroids…
10/5 GMA interview
CASSIE LAUNDRIE: The last time I physically saw and the last time I physically spoke to my brother was on the sixth [of September]. I’ve tried to get in touch with him… phone went to voicemail.
VICTOR OQUENDO [voiceover]: Cassie sharing this photo exclusively with ABC News, showing Brian and his five year old nephew camping at Fort DeSoto park with their parents, five days before Gabby was reported missing.
CASSIE LAUNDRIE: We just went for a couple of hours and we ate dinner and had smores around the campfire and left. And there was nothing peculiar about it. There was no feeling of grand goodbye. There was no nothing. I’m frustrated that in hindsight, I didn’t pick up on anything. It was just a regular visit.
VICTOR OQUENDO [voiceover]: By the time Gabby was found 13 days later, Brian had already vanished. The day Cassie learned of his disappearance, she says she immediately told investigators about that camping trip.
CASSIE LAUNDRIE: It was not hidden from law enforcement. I’ve been cooperating with the police. Since day one, I have been in touch with law enforcement.

We asked if there were any weapons found in the area throughout the search for Brian Laundrie:
TAYLOR: I think there’s more evidence that has certainly been collected and the revealing of that evidence will happen at the proper time.
There have been questions surrounding Brian’s notebook that was discovered. Taylor said it is being looked at by the FBI:
TAYLOR: It was wet so certainly the FBI is going through the process of making sure they handle that as carefully as possible to dry it out and hopefully keep the integrity of that notebook.
We asked if Brian’s parents could have possibly lied to police during this investigation:
TAYLOR: It appears they have been open and honest as far as looking for their son and sharing that information as it all turns out.
They just simply haven’t given information when it comes to anything they may have known about Gabby and her death and the potential for Brian’s involvement.
Taylor also commented on what Brian’s death means when it comes to the investigation into the death of Gabby Petito:
TAYLOR: I think that investigation, I don’t want to speak for the FBI, but I believe that will continue and they will work to put all those pieces [together].
Certainly, there is not only what could potentially be in that, but everything that’s been gathered in digital information, the digital footprint that’s never been revealed that will certainly be a part of their entire case.
