It’s odd to me that they found his backpack and now his body in an area that was previously underwater.

I do feel for the Laundries to an extent -- they have lost a child, one who almost certainly committed a horrible crime.

If they truly knew nothing, though, and were just parents concerned their son harmed himself, I am wondering why they have not been speaking with Cassie, as she said, since this all began?

Seems completely reasonable in order to protect her. Lawyers told them not to speak to anyone, why involve her when they do not have to. The least she knows the better for her family legally speaking. Also assume lawyers told them not to speak on the phones as may have a sealed wiretap warrant that was conducted whilst they did the search in the home and the Laundries were in the car in the driveway. Not saying this happened, just saying the lawyer would have advised of the possibility.

Laundrie's parents directed FBI agents and North Port police to the location where "some articles belonging to Brian were found," according to a statement by Laundrie attorney Steven Bertolino.

“Chris and Roberta Laundrie went to the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park this morning to search for Brian," Bertolino said.

Do alligators bother with dead bodies? I know they normally do a death roll if they get ahold of you, but I don't know if they are scavengers or anything.

I don’t think they necessarily mind dead “meat”

 

[cottonweaver]

LOL.
JB & Walt on WFLANow trying to tame the beast & noting the ' ridiculous conspiracy theories' involving the news. ( Planting of the articles & the remains)

 

[Ruminations]

Prefacing with: I don't know this area so this may seem like a stupid question. Is there any way that the articles could have come from a different area and as the water receded the items were dragged to this location? Is the topography fairly flat or are there higher areas that drain to lower areas?

Absolutely- the area was largely under water, and things float around. Animals could drag around body parts and or food packed by a human.

NBC is reporting there were human remains found near Brian's things. Apparent human remains found after Brian Laundrie's possessions located in Florida nature reserve

What luck? Finding their dead son?

No really, it is very close to where his car was found, seems reasonable they would look there first. Previously underwater. Feel it says more about LE, than the parents

IMO, Brian was not a cunning survivalist. He liked to hike, sight-see and camp. As long as he had internet access, some cool trinkets, non plastic bottles and vegan snacks. IMO, he had no money, he wasn’t overly intelligent, he lacked confidence and courage, and he was an abuser and murderer. I could go on, but why give the guy any more attention. He was likely dead over a month ago.

FBI just tweeted a response team is there for "items of interest"https://twitter.com/BrianEntin/status/1450888445027565579

Yeah, I am wondering if items of interest are simply that and not human remains.

Question

If they found remains in an area that was partially / previously under water near his backpack wouldn’t that mean that the backpack was underwater also?

I want more details about the backpack.

Good point, that backpack didn't look like it had been under water, of if it had be, not for long.

 

[Peppery]

If it is BL, I cannot wait to hear if he committed suicide or was killed by elements/animals. MOO

My guess is we’ll never know because not enough will be found to make a determination.

 

[Katerz]

The water has receded, opening more areas, but JB has made multiple comments on the live about the fact that it hasn't been near as rainy in October as it was previously. They've said this particular area was previously under water, but no one has said when the water receded enough to search that particular area. I mean, that is REALLY close to the opening. Is it possible that LE was so focused on searching the entire park/reserve that they only did a cursory search of the area near the parking lot?

Or it’s possible he wasn’t dead the whole time and he just recently died and that’s where his remains were and an animal got ahold of them.

It’s odd to me that they found his backpack and now his body in an area that was previously underwater.

I don't think they found a body.

"partial remains" is what I'm hearing on WFLA news.

as in a bone here or there?

alligator justice?

I want more details about the backpack.

If it was a dry bag it should have been able to float. Courtesy of a proud owner of a dry bag.

 

[grammieto5]

So if this is BL does that mean his parents get the reward?

 

[Soliloquy]

How uncanny that, should the Laundries have decided to tell LE they were going to search for their son two days ago, the psychic would have been spot on. Weird and MOO.

 

[CaffienatedOwl]

I 100% agree. From the beginning I thought he left and the parents genuinely thought he was just hiking. They retrieved the car, realized the gun was gone, and called LE genuinely concerned he was going to kill himself. He did, and a gator tore him apart. MOO.

If the gators got him (or other animals) can they actually determine time or cause of death? Anyone know?

 

[JuneRose]

They found items of interest amd then human remains.

It was close to where the Mustang was parked.

Some of us thought all along he killed himself in the water and the gators would dispose of the evidence.
