Lara Yeretsian, another high-powered West Coast defense attorney, said potential charges against the parents hinge on what, if anything, they told the FBI when investigators entered their home last month, and whether they misled or misdirected authorities.
"We don't have enough information," she said. "All of this is conjecture, honestly."
But if any charges are filed against the parents, she said, they might relate to obstructing justice or accessory after the fact.
Rahmani said he expects federal investigators have already begun subpoenaing phone records and other evidence as part of their investigation and that more serious charges against Laundrie are likely.
