Brian Laundrie flew alone to Florida from Utah during his cross-country road trip with his fiancée,
Gabby Petito, to "obtain some items" and "empty and close" a storage unit, a lawyer for the Laundrie family said on Tuesday.
Laundrie flew to Tampa from Salt Lake City on August 17 and returned to Salt Lake City on August 23 to "rejoin" Petito on the couple's "van life" road trip, the attorney, Steven Bertolino, told Insider.
"To my knowledge Brian and Gabby paid for the flights as they were sharing expenses," Bertolino said.
Laundrie, 23, went to Florida "to obtain some items and empty and close the storage unit to save money as they contemplated extending the road trip," Bertolino said.
When asked where the storage unit was, Bertolino told Insider he had "no idea."
