Pretty sure it’s been ruled out as a credible sighting. JMO
North Carolina Police Respond To Claims That Brian Laundrie Is Hiding At His Grandfather's Home

“New Bern police officers collaborated with the Raleigh branch office of the FBI and four FBI agents who arrived in New Bern to further the investigation,” reads the email received by the reporter. “At the conclusion of our efforts, we do not believe he was, or is, in New Bern.”

The video posted by SKYline News reporter Chad Nesbitt was taken off Facebook as the claims appear to have been disproven, but the police in North Carolina remain vigilant despite that.

Probably so but it’s kind of odd two separate recent sightings came from areas near the Appalachian Trail in TN and NC.

@Jurisprudence
The engineer said Waterville Rd in Western NC close to the Appalachian Trail. If you Goggle what I just wrote, you will have a good map.

Yes I eventually caught up. Thank you!

Well, this is problematic...

Protesters outside Brian Laundrie's home cited for using loudspeaker

Ruiz posted that neighbors are fed up with the protesters, some of whom have maintained a presence at the house for weeks.

“We hate them as much as we hate the Laundries now,” one homeowner said. Another says he’s undergoing chemotherapy and the ruckus is disrupting his wife’s work from home.

IMO….Who asks for directions anymore, especially at his age? Why would someone in his position (fugitive) ask for directions? Even if he couldn’t navigate via GPS on his phone (assuming he doesn’t have one) why would he ask a complete stranger
for directions instead of buying an old school road map or just following general signs (using basic geography) to his intended destination? Either this is a false positive or he’s just being a incompetent criminal again.

Basically, he only has to drive towards the sun set.... and away from the sun rise... simples.

perhaps people in areas are hyper-vigilant due to the possibility that he might be somewhere along the the trail

 

[nocommoncents]

So, asking for pretty impossible directions then. Someone would know backroads all the way from TN to CA to tell him? And that he would remember (if the person actually Googled the way for him).

"Turn right onto Smith Road, make a left at Black Road, go 30 miles through to Jonesville, then make a right at the fire station ...... "

I imagine the person in the truck was a hoaxster.

"If you hear banjos, you've gone too far..."

Asking for directions would sound like he didn't have that burner phone for GPS.

Well, MOO, FBI has been doing forensic analysis on their finances for at least a week if not more so if they do have money I'm confident LE knows. MOO

You DON'T ever want FBI forensic accountants going through your financial records.

It could be that TN and NC have more jokesters than anywhere else.... ...

He could have just acquired the truck...stole it or bought it from someone desperate. Or killed someone for it. EEK. jmo

The article mentions both cars.

Despite the road being dark, Davis said the headlights from both idle cars were sufficient to see the man at such close range.

I've pulled up side to side to speak with another driver at night many times and my experience is I could be speaking to my own doppelganger and I wouldn't know it. BL is a pretty generic looking dude and night time encounters are full of shadows from low headlights reflecting from weird angles. He could have encountered any one of the numerous people who get turned around in those mountains.

And as an aside, when I go to the mountains I like taking the back roads more than the interstates. Not at night as much, but sometimes I do, because the lights in the valley are a gorgeous sight.

Well, here's that Camry and grandfather reference again.Local bounty hunters join in search for Brian Laundrie

@nocommoncents nothing popping up on your local news?

Nothing here but I'm west of Nashville

Any body else would at least wait until maybe , say, Bakersfield, CA before getting directions..

I'm thinking moonshine.

 

[Spider92]

Does anyone know what the vehicle description was for the tips that came from Boone, NC? Not that it matters but out of curiosity..

I don't understand why he would have vehicle. Is he hiking the trail or driving it?

How dangerous does everyone think he really is to others? Of course he was a danger to poor Gabby, but do you feel he would hurt someone else?

'He said ‘man, I’m lost.’ I said ‘what are you trying to find?’ and he said ‘me and my girlfriend got in a fight but she called me, told me she loves me, and I have to get to California to see her.’

For some obscure reason this has made me fall about giggling helplessly, I can't do anything about it, .. 'me and my girlfriend got in a fight... '...

Brian admitting to being lost.. ... I can't see that happening.

The story is farcical. No normal person would give such an explanation for wanting directions. If anything, it would be more like, "Do you know the best way to head towards California?" or WTTE.

Maybe he didn't know what direction he was going.... jmo Maybe he is hallucinating.......

I actually think his eyes are really distinctive.

“Man, I’m lost”, that doesn’t seem to be the dialect of Long Island or Florida. I know beggars can’t be choosers, but I don’t see Brian driving a truck, they are gas guzzlers. I also feel like he would have been far further into the country, if he was trying to escape Florida. I am hoping he will be caught soon, I just don’t think this was him.

I think he is a coward and is a danger to no one.
