Schmidt said the couple left Salt Lake City for Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming around Aug. 24, which was when she said she last spoke to her daughter on a FaceTime call. She said she received texts sent from her daughter's phone until Aug. 30, but she wasn't sure whether her daughter sent them.

Petito's last text to her mother read: “No service in Yosemite.” It is unclear whether the couple ever made it to the California park. Petito's last post on Instagram is dated Aug. 25, with no location specified.

Police in North Port said they recovered the van Sept. 11 at the home the couple shared with Laundrie's parents. Police said Laundrie returned to North Port on Sept. 1, 10 days before Petito's family reported her missing.

Police in Florida on Saturday searched a vast wildlife reserve near the Gulf Coast for Laundrie after his family earlier told officers that they haven't seen him since Tuesday. Police said the conversation Friday evening was the first time they'd spoken with the Laundries in detail about the case, and that the meeting came at the family's request.

Dozens of North Port police officers, FBI agents and members of other law enforcement agencies searched the 24,000-acre (9,712-hectare) Carlton Reserve in the Sarasota, Florida area.

“His family says they believe he entered the area earlier this week," North Port Police tweeted Saturday.

Gabby Petito: search continues for missing Brian Laundrie (heraldtribune.com)
[...]

North Port Police spokesman Josh Taylor told the Herald-Tribune on Friday night the agency was not actively “tailing” Laundrie.

[...]

Authorities say Laundrie is invoking his 5th Amendment right to not speak. The U.S Constitution protects anyone who hasn't been indicted of a crime from being forced to speak with authorities.

As long as this remains a missing person case, Laundrie may never have to speak about the events that took place.

I would not be at all surprised to discover he is on his way to Mexico and the Carlton Reserve is a deflection by the family to give him more time.

UPDATE: I just received clarification from@NorthPortPolice.
Just to make it abundantly clear, police don’t have either Gabby’s or Brian’s phone. They also don’t have access to real time tracking. Police can get records, but it takes some time.

The 310,000 acre Grand Teton park has more than 485 square miles of backcountry, most of which is requires hiking in. “Members of search unit at the park can be air lifted to various remote areas for a search,” the ranger said. “They don’t tell us specifics they sort of do what they do.”

Petito’s stepfather, Jim Schmidt, who is in Wyoming trying to aid the search for her, told DailyMail.com, they are confident she made it to the area, but aren’t sure where she may have been camping.

The reserve, which is about 13 miles north of North Port, is a public park owned by Sarasota County that is home to a diverse array of wildlife including feral hogs, alligators and panthers. On Saturday, the reserve’s website warned that most of the park’s 80 miles of hiking trails were flooded. There has also been “some unusual fire caused by lightning,” said Russell Johnson, a longtime volunteer with the park.

“All in all, this is the worst time of the year for visiting the Carlton,” he said.

Mr. Taylor told reporters that more than 50 police officers were searching for Mr. Laundrie on foot, on all-terrain vehicles and with the help of dogs. He described the conditions as wet and muddy and said the park had been closed to the public while the police searched. Mr. Taylor said Mr. Laundrie’s life could be in danger, but he did not specify how.

he said. “There is an enormous amount of pressure on him to provide answers on what’s going on here.”
