Mr Laundrie was travelling with Petito on a cross-country road trip when she went missing. On 1 September, he returned to his family’s home in Florida alone with the van the couple had been living in, and ultimately disappeared himself. Days later, when Mr Laundrie’s parents reported his disappearance, a major manhunt was launched, which remains underway.The search for Mr Laundrie is largely focused on the Carlton Reserve in Florida, which is close to the Laundries’ family home in North Port.
Despite six days of intensive searches, officers have failed to find any trace of the man. On Thursday, a team of divers joined police and FBI agents using boats and helicopters in the search for him in the 25,000-acre swampy Florida reserve.Petito’s family went on a frantic search for their daughter after they stopped receiving texts from her and she did not make it back home with Mr Laundrie. Petito’s mother last spoke to her on 25 August.
The police in Utah’s Moab town were called to a possible domestic violence incident after Petito and Mr Laundrie were seen engaging in a heated argument inside their van. After Petito was reported missing, Mr Laundrie’s lawyer released a statement saying his client would not be speaking to authorities “on the advice of counsel”.
The North Port Police, who said Mr Laundrie’s lack of cooperation was “hindering the investigation”, tweeted a plea to the lawyer. The family of Petito had also called on the Laundrie family to help them find their daughter. Instead, Mr Laundrie went missing and has not been seen since 14 September.
Just a thought but… Maybe a lot less women would wind up dead if they stopped picking up random strangers on the road…
