Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: The search is on for a Gabby Potito so called
- 0:10Speaker 1: boyfriend Brian Laundry, But is the FBI taking a pivot
- 0:15Speaker 1: and looking in a different direction. This as Gabby's memorial
- 0:21Speaker 1: occurred in the last hours where her family urged everyone
- 0:25Speaker 1: to be inspired by Gabby, And you know what, They're right,
- 0:29Speaker 1: I will be inspired. I plan to be inspired by
- 0:33Speaker 1: Gabby Potito after we find Brian Laundry. First of all,
- 0:47Speaker 1: let's kick it off with tick Talking user C W Lynn.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I am a fight attendant and I'm overnighting in Toronto
- 0:57Speaker 1: and I was picking up a DoorDash outside and I
- 1:00Speaker 1: noticed this guy was getting flustered walking out of a hotel.
- 1:07Speaker 1: He got back into his car and drove off with
- 1:10Speaker 1: another cry. And I went downstairs to let the hotel know,
- 1:15Speaker 1: and they said that he didn't know where he was
- 1:17Speaker 1: going and he had the wrong hotel. And I'm just
- 1:20Speaker 1: trying to figure out if this looks like him or
- 1:21Speaker 1: if I just fell too far down the rabbit hole.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I mean, you can see the dip and his mustache
- 1:26Speaker 1: like right here where it is on the left side,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and then like the ears, like the ears like bent
- 1:33Speaker 1: down on this side. But my I mean my ear
- 1:35Speaker 1: gets bent down when I put my mask on. But
- 1:38Speaker 1: it's better to be safe than sorry. So let me
- 1:41Speaker 1: know what you think. CW land On TikTok. I'm on
- 1:44Speaker 1: your side. Do I think that's him? No, you know why,
- 1:48Speaker 1: because I think that he by now has drastically changed
- 1:52Speaker 1: his appearance. Do I think he's in Carlton Reserve? No,
- 1:57Speaker 1: he is not. Out in twenty five thousand acres of
- 1:59Speaker 1: swamped land with the gators and the rattlers and the moccasins,
- 2:03Speaker 1: where there is no fresh water source. You can't drink
- 2:06Speaker 1: the water. It's totally contaminated. I mean, just on instinct.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I just took the twins, my children, on a swamp
- 2:14Speaker 1: expedition not far from Carlton Reserve gator spotting. Yes, I
- 2:22Speaker 1: did judge me if you wish, and we had a
- 2:24Speaker 1: great time. But there is no way we would have
- 2:29Speaker 1: even had a tiny sip of that black water. That's
- 2:33Speaker 1: not happening. So with no water, no water filtration system
- 2:38Speaker 1: that we know off. Since he left with nothing but
- 2:40Speaker 1: a backpack, cadaverdaws can't find him, sent DAWs can't find him,
- 2:45Speaker 1: drums can't find him. Cops can't find him. Buzzards can't
- 2:48Speaker 1: find him. I'd be willing to bet that's because he's
- 2:52Speaker 1: not there and the single most important indicator, which I'm
- 2:55Speaker 1: pretty sure one of my guest, Cheryl McCallum, agrees with. Yes,
- 2:58Speaker 1: she's been screaming at No need to preach to the choir, Cheryl,
- 3:03Speaker 1: where's mommy. Mommy's not out there on a skiff, screaming out, Brian,
- 3:09Speaker 1: where are you. Mommy's in her air conditioned dodge ran
- 3:14Speaker 1: with her husband, going to visit their lawyer. They're going
- 3:17Speaker 1: to the grocery store, they're cutting the grass. They're not
- 3:21Speaker 1: worried he's out. They're committing suicide. Uh, look at her,
- 3:25Speaker 1: not worried at all. Somebody's breaking in. I knew that
- 3:28Speaker 1: would happen. Go on, Cheryl, have at it, which you're
- 3:31Speaker 1: absolutely right. And I have been saying this from day one,
- 3:35Speaker 1: because I'm taking my cues from her. She ain't worried
- 3:39Speaker 1: about him being hurt. She's not worried about him having
- 3:42Speaker 1: some type of accident and falling. She's not worried about
- 3:45Speaker 1: the snakes and the gates and nothing else. She certainly
- 3:48Speaker 1: is not entertaining suicide. She's at Starbucks. She's at you know,
- 3:52Speaker 1: the store. They're cutting grass, they're carrying on his sister.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Rain't out there looking at him, you know, looking for him.
- 3:58Speaker 1: They're not out there looking for him. Again. She hasn't
- 4:01Speaker 1: called friends and family to help the search. She ain't
- 4:04Speaker 1: called the priest. I want everybody within our ear shot
- 4:09Speaker 1: right now to think or blurt it out. Jack. I
- 4:12Speaker 1: know you will, my Dakar, and we have an all
- 4:15Speaker 1: girl team here in the studio. Go ahead, What would
- 4:20Speaker 1: you be doing if you thought one of your children
- 4:25Speaker 1: was alone out in that swamp contemplating suicide? What would
- 4:31Speaker 1: you do? What wouldn't you do? You'd hear me in Canada? Yeah,
- 4:39Speaker 1: no way is he in that swamp considering suicide? Okay,
- 4:44Speaker 1: let's just kick it off with there. But you know what,
- 4:47Speaker 1: I give all the credit to TikTok Gaser. I think
- 4:49Speaker 1: her real name is Sierra, but at c W Lynn
- 4:53Speaker 1: l y In, I think who saw this person that
- 4:58Speaker 1: she thinks looks like Brian Laundry And he does look
- 5:01Speaker 1: like Brian Laundry. But there is no way this guy,
- 5:04Speaker 1: if he is on the lamb, which I think he is,
- 5:07Speaker 1: has not changed his appearance getting rid of the mustache,
- 5:11Speaker 1: getting rid of any visible body piercing, hiding tattoos, and
- 5:16Speaker 1: probably dying is eric? Do I have to say? Scott Peterson,
- 5:20Speaker 1: remember what he looked like by the time he was arrested,
- 5:23Speaker 1: bleached blonde hair, hadn't he shaved off facial He did
- 5:27Speaker 1: everything he could to change his appearance. Let me introduce
- 5:30Speaker 1: you an all star panel you've already met. Cheryl McCollum,
- 5:34Speaker 1: founder director of the Cold Case Research Institute, Joseph Scott Morgan,
- 5:39Speaker 1: forensics expert, death investigator, renounced psychiatrist joining me out of
- 5:42Speaker 1: the Atlanta jurisdiction Doctor Angela Arnold at Angela Arnold, MD
- 5:48Speaker 1: dot com and former medical director on the psych Clinic.
- 5:52Speaker 1: But I'm sure she'll give you a lot of really
- 5:56Speaker 1: long Latin phrases, but it boils down to this, mama
- 6:01Speaker 1: ain't crying, okay. So we'll get the long Latin terms
- 6:05Speaker 1: from doctor Angela Arnold, California prosecutor, author of red flags,
- 6:10Speaker 1: which is really important. Here were their red flags about
- 6:13Speaker 1: Brian Laundry's behavior. Behavior today with doctor Wendy KCBQ and
- 6:18Speaker 1: at Wendy Patrick, PhD and Wendy Patrick PhD dot com.
- 6:23Speaker 1: But first let's go out to special guests. Joining US
- 6:27Speaker 1: investigative reporter Michael Rui's joining us from Northport, Florida. Michael,
- 6:33Speaker 1: have you seen that swamp? Don't put a toe in
- 6:37Speaker 1: because it's likely to get bitten off by a gator.
- 6:40Speaker 1: But have you seen that swamp? And what's happening with
- 6:42Speaker 1: the search? And why were the Feds back at the
- 6:46Speaker 1: laundry home this week in the same day as Gabby's funeral.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Just start wherever you want, Michael. Okay, there's a lot
- 6:53Speaker 1: to unpack there. But but yes, I've seen the swamp,
- 6:56Speaker 1: and you know, for someone to be living in there
- 6:59Speaker 1: for more than a week, it seems very far fetched.
- 7:02Speaker 1: With the high water that we have, with the gators,
- 7:04Speaker 1: with the snakes, there's also bears and pumas, and the insects.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Are they bite a lot in its sting? I'm not
- 7:12Speaker 1: worried about a mosquito bite. Okay. Can I just ask you, Michael,
- 7:17Speaker 1: where are you from. I'm from Long Island, New York,
- 7:19Speaker 1: so I actually from very close to where Gabby and
- 7:22Speaker 1: Brian grew. So I don't think you guys have mosquitoes
- 7:25Speaker 1: in Long Island? But do you have? No seems the
- 7:28Speaker 1: little thingies that bite which can't see them. We do,
- 7:31Speaker 1: we do have those. They're horrible. But down in the
- 7:35Speaker 1: swamp area there are going to be a lot of mosquitoes.
- 7:37Speaker 1: I'm not worried about bug bites for brian laundry, Okay,
- 7:40Speaker 1: I'm more worried about is he dead or alive and
- 7:43Speaker 1: where is he? But the likelihood of living in those conditions,
- 7:47Speaker 1: Michael Ruise, you said with the water conditions, let's break
- 7:51Speaker 1: it down. What do you mean by that? So it's
- 7:53Speaker 1: the rainy season right now, So I think three quarters
- 7:57Speaker 1: of this preserve are underwater, and it's deep, and it
- 8:01Speaker 1: kind of forces the animals onto whatever few places of
- 8:05Speaker 1: dry land there are, which is also where if someone
- 8:08Speaker 1: was hiding in there they would have to be So
- 8:09Speaker 1: everything would be kind of squeezed into a little space,
- 8:12Speaker 1: and that would make it very uncomfortable with you know,
- 8:15Speaker 1: thirteen foot gators and coyotes and wild boar and water
- 8:19Speaker 1: moccasins and whatever else he has, you know, to be
- 8:21Speaker 1: camping around them. Plus police searched this area extensively, and
- 8:25Speaker 1: then because of the water, you know, the area where
- 8:28Speaker 1: they have to search if he's alive is very small.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Compared to what it would be if it were dry
- 8:32Speaker 1: out there. So they have a, you know, kind of
- 8:35Speaker 1: a focus on where they could have found him, and
- 8:37Speaker 1: they haven't found him. And basically every expert in every
- 8:40Speaker 1: local I've talked to about this said that they don't
- 8:43Speaker 1: think he's in there. If he was ever in there,
- 8:45Speaker 1: he's gone climb stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we're taking
- 9:00Speaker 1: one thing at a time. We're gonna move to the
- 9:03Speaker 1: FBI on the screen porch of mister and Miss Laundry
- 9:10Speaker 1: this weekend, in the last twenty four hours, coincidentally, same
- 9:14Speaker 1: day as Gabby's memorial or her family calls for us
- 9:18Speaker 1: to be inspired and kind of makes me feel bad
- 9:22Speaker 1: because they're so good and magnanimous and sending out love.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And all I want to do is find Brian Laundry
- 9:29Speaker 1: and bring him to justice. But let's focus first on
- 9:33Speaker 1: what Michael Ruis just told us, investigative reporter from Fox
- 9:37Speaker 1: joining us to Northport, Florida, to you, Jessica, I'm Margy.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Before I get to the fens on the Laundry's back doorstep,
- 9:43Speaker 1: let's talk about the living conditions in the swamp. Oh
- 9:46Speaker 1: it's horrible. Oh, let me tell you one more thing.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Unless you're a gator, let me tell you one more
- 9:51Speaker 1: thing about this guy. Everybody, you know, I'll keep hearing
- 9:54Speaker 1: these no fence Michael. I've heard a lot of journals
- 9:57Speaker 1: that have been going on about that. This guy. It's
- 10:00Speaker 1: almost like a modern day Daniel Boone. You know, he
- 10:02Speaker 1: spent time on the Appalachian Trail and all these other things.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Haven't we tell you something this guy. This guy is
- 10:09Speaker 1: a gutless coward. This guy is a man that will
- 10:13Speaker 1: beat up ninety five pound girls in the middle of
- 10:15Speaker 1: the street. He is of the street, the middle of
- 10:21Speaker 1: the street. He hit her in the face in the street.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Hold on, wait a minute, you did this to me.
- 10:29Speaker 1: I didn't do this to myself. I'm taking a turn
- 10:32Speaker 1: in the middle of the street, Cheryl McCallum. If he
- 10:36Speaker 1: will beat her in the face in the middle of
- 10:38Speaker 1: the street, taking her phone, trying to get in the
- 10:42Speaker 1: van and leave her, what will he do out in
- 10:45Speaker 1: a remote wilderness when they're by themselves and she says
- 10:49Speaker 1: I want to break up? What do you think happens, Cheryl? Nancy,
- 10:53Speaker 1: I cannot tell you enough. Not only in the middle
- 10:58Speaker 1: of the street, in all daylight repeatedly in front of witnesses.
- 11:05Speaker 1: So what will he do in a remote location killer?
- 11:09Speaker 1: That's exactly what doctor Angie Arnold. Your specialty is dealing
- 11:14Speaker 1: with women. Doctor Angie Arnold, renowned psychiatrists joining us out
- 11:19Speaker 1: of Atlanta. Now I'm just an amateur compared to you
- 11:22Speaker 1: on this. I worked about nine years volunteering at the
- 11:25Speaker 1: Battered Women's Center, and I learned a lot because they
- 11:28Speaker 1: put us through a lot of training in order to
- 11:30Speaker 1: do that. And then I saw it over and over
- 11:32Speaker 1: as I was prosecuting. I was just telling the story
- 11:35Speaker 1: this morning where I remember seeing this beautiful, sweet little girl,
- 11:41Speaker 1: very slight, literally dragging into court, Cheryl. I remember telling
- 11:46Speaker 1: you this at the time. Her leg was in a
- 11:50Speaker 1: cast up to the hips. Coming in and behind her
- 11:56Speaker 1: was an even scrawny or looking guy, and and he
- 12:01Speaker 1: had broken her leg broken it. I don't mean a boot.
- 12:05Speaker 1: I don't mean one of those little pushy things for
- 12:09Speaker 1: your leg. You're been at the knee and you're going
- 12:11Speaker 1: around and one leg is up on a cushion, full
- 12:14Speaker 1: on cast, hardcast from the hip down. And guess what
- 12:18Speaker 1: she wanted, Doctor Angie to drop charges? And I can't
- 12:23Speaker 1: believe I had the idea to do this at that time,
- 12:27Speaker 1: as young as I was. Said, no, she's not prosecuting,
- 12:31Speaker 1: so don't go on and beat her up. Hey, you
- 12:33Speaker 1: ought to be in jail somehow you got out on bond.
- 12:35Speaker 1: But I'm prosecuting you, not her. And she can beg
- 12:39Speaker 1: and plead and carry on, which she did all she
- 12:42Speaker 1: wants to. But I'm getting you, and you're going to jail.
- 12:46Speaker 1: And guess what he did. What I'm saying is what
- 12:51Speaker 1: this guy would do behind closed doors and think he
- 12:56Speaker 1: could get away with it. Doctor Angie. Well, And the
- 12:58Speaker 1: first thing he did Nancy was on her family, and
- 13:02Speaker 1: he worked on her for two years while she lives
- 13:05Speaker 1: in that home with him and his two parents who
- 13:09Speaker 1: are now protecting him. Then he takes her out on
- 13:13Speaker 1: a road trip. I really do believe the girl looked gaunt,
- 13:19Speaker 1: but unfortunately she was very protective of him because he
- 13:24Speaker 1: had made her believe that he was somehow her savior,
- 13:30Speaker 1: that she wasn't good enough, that no one else wanted
- 13:32Speaker 1: to care for her. That's what he's been working on
- 13:35Speaker 1: for the last two years. He has brainwashed this poor
- 13:37Speaker 1: little girl to a point of nobody. Here's the shaky part.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick and I agree with everything. Doctor Angie Arnold
- 13:44Speaker 1: just said, here's the shaky part. It's like the jackal
- 13:49Speaker 1: that sneaks up on the gazelle at the watering hole.
- 13:53Speaker 1: It doesn't think, Okay, I'm going to isolate the little
- 13:56Speaker 1: skinny one, and the others will run because that's the
- 13:59Speaker 1: one I think I can eat for lunch. They don't
- 14:01Speaker 1: think about it. I don't think Brian Laundry had a plan,
- 14:05Speaker 1: a master plan. Oh, first I'll isolate Gabby. I'll get
- 14:08Speaker 1: her to moving with me and my parents, who are
- 14:10Speaker 1: always on my side, and then slowly I'll condition her
- 14:13Speaker 1: to take the blame whenever I'm a class A hale. Okay.
- 14:19Speaker 1: So I don't think he thought it through, Andy. I
- 14:22Speaker 1: think that is his nature. And that's the scariest part
- 14:25Speaker 1: of this, Nancy is when we look back through the
- 14:27Speaker 1: chronology of how that relationship developed, the fact that she
- 14:31Speaker 1: was isolated was living with he and his family, not
- 14:34Speaker 1: the other way around, And along with the nature of
- 14:37Speaker 1: the trip they took. This wasn't a five star resort tripping,
- 14:41Speaker 1: this was road tripping. Some level of at least some
- 14:44Speaker 1: kind of survivalist instinct where should have to depend on him,
- 14:48Speaker 1: which is why the information about him taking her phone
- 14:52Speaker 1: threatening to strand her all. This is that coercive control
- 14:56Speaker 1: that we see in these types of domestic violence cases,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and do you see developing as the foundation of what
- 15:02Speaker 1: their relationship was really like. As a matter of fact,
- 15:05Speaker 1: take a listen to our cut one sixty eight. This
- 15:07Speaker 1: is the MOABPD dispatch ten sixty three attempt to Loka.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Continuing attempt to Loka time lapse of about right forty second.
- 15:19Speaker 1: RP steen a mail hit a female domestic. He got
- 15:25Speaker 1: into a white Ford transit van has a black ladder
- 15:30Speaker 1: on the back, Florida plate of Quebec Fox Tango Golf
- 15:36Speaker 1: zero three. The van turned right onto Main Street from
- 15:40Speaker 1: Moonflower Market and headed north onto Main Street sixteen thirty
- 15:46Speaker 1: eight Molower sixteen forty one at t who you have
- 15:55Speaker 1: a full over photo ARPA. Maybe you're still that light
- 15:57Speaker 1: and the location of r vacans fun number is name.
- 16:06Speaker 1: I'm not sure that, but the female who got hit,
- 16:09Speaker 1: they both the male and the female both got into
- 16:13Speaker 1: the van and headed north. Significance of that is contrary
- 16:17Speaker 1: to what I originally thought. How polite and civil the
- 16:21Speaker 1: Moai police were being on their body cam to Gabby
- 16:25Speaker 1: and Laundry. They knew or should have known. He just
- 16:30Speaker 1: hit her right on the face on the sidewalk, as
- 16:35Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum has pointed out, in broad day light. And
- 16:39Speaker 1: she's gonna love this on Main Street on Main Street,
- 16:43Speaker 1: right there, broad day light, on the sidewalk turn onto
- 16:47Speaker 1: Main Street. I mean, how could the cops not know
- 16:50Speaker 1: about it? But I'm getting sidetracked of that major blunder.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I want to get back to the conditions in the
- 16:57Speaker 1: swim and is he jump in? This is doctor Arnold Nitzy.
- 17:02Speaker 1: That made her feel even more small for him to
- 17:08Speaker 1: think that he could slap her in broad daylight. Not
- 17:11Speaker 1: only is it so aggressive on his part, but it
- 17:14Speaker 1: was so down putting to her. So that's why she
- 17:18Speaker 1: later on in the video from the Moab police is
- 17:22Speaker 1: apologizing and saying, well, I have OCD and I haven't
- 17:25Speaker 1: been taking my medicine. That's what he's done to her.
- 17:28Speaker 1: She says she was sorry she was quite putting off
- 17:30Speaker 1: a bad vibe. I guess I'd be putting off a
- 17:33Speaker 1: bad vibe if David has slapped me in the face
- 17:35Speaker 1: and got away with it. What about it, Cheryl? What
- 17:37Speaker 1: happened in that instant, Doctor Angie's absolutely right. But there's
- 17:41Speaker 1: a flip side of this, and that's what happened to
- 17:43Speaker 1: Brian Laundry. Law enforcement in that failure to act, naming
- 17:50Speaker 1: her as the aggressor, saying they could arrest her, putting
- 17:54Speaker 1: him in the hotel, and making her go back to
- 17:56Speaker 1: the desert. They made him bulletproof. What do you mean
- 17:59Speaker 1: by that, Cheryl? He felt untouchable. He I guarantee they
- 18:03Speaker 1: got back together, and he told her, see, nobody's ever
- 18:06Speaker 1: going to believe you. I kept you from going to jail.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I should have let them arrest you. He gave her
- 18:11Speaker 1: that entire Diba tribe. And that is domestic violence. One
- 18:14Speaker 1: O one, Sugar, Listen relative to this, and let me
- 18:18Speaker 1: tell you why this is critical. Relative to the death investigation.
- 18:23Speaker 1: If the m E or the corner was not aware
- 18:27Speaker 1: of the fact that there was previous abuse in this case,
- 18:30Speaker 1: this is something given the state of her body, this
- 18:34Speaker 1: is something they may have missed at autopsy. If there
- 18:37Speaker 1: was an ongoing domestic violent situation that preceded her death.
- 18:43Speaker 1: And I'm talking about things like being slapped, hit and again,
- 18:47Speaker 1: I go back to this idea of deprivation of things
- 18:49Speaker 1: like water, food. They've been on the road together for
- 18:52Speaker 1: a long time, and because her body was decomposing, I'm
- 18:55Speaker 1: sorry to say that the reality is this. They may
- 18:59Speaker 1: not have picked up on this. That's a key piece
- 19:02Speaker 1: of evidence relative to the narrative when you're talking about
- 19:05Speaker 1: their relationship. Well, let's just say, in the famous words,
- 19:08Speaker 1: it ain't over yet. They still haven't released the true
- 19:13Speaker 1: cause of death, just the manner of death as homicide.
- 19:16Speaker 1: So if we know, certainly they know by now about
- 19:20Speaker 1: the prior beating crime stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we've
- 19:35Speaker 1: got Michael Luise standing by right now, probably sweating bullets
- 19:39Speaker 1: outside of the Carlton Reserve. Hey, Michael Ruise, investigative reporter
- 19:44Speaker 1: joining us from Fox News Digital. Michael, take a listen
- 19:48Speaker 1: to our cut one fifty six. This is a Florida
- 19:52Speaker 1: swamper Alan McEwan. Listen. This is what you would find
- 19:56Speaker 1: in that twenty five thousand acres of the Carlton Reserve,
- 20:00Speaker 1: except for a few high spots where the power lines are,
- 20:03Speaker 1: and a couple of roads they have in there, and
- 20:06Speaker 1: even a couple of roads they have in there are
- 20:07Speaker 1: massively underwet, just totally underwater. There's no surviving out here.
- 20:12Speaker 1: I don't know how to say. I ride ranches. I'm
- 20:15Speaker 1: out on horses all day with the dogs with war
- 20:18Speaker 1: word or saddle bags and all. But we're out here,
- 20:21Speaker 1: out there, riding for twelve thirteen hours a day, starting
- 20:24Speaker 1: at daylight time. We get in at night. I don't
- 20:26Speaker 1: see anybody can make it out here for ten days,
- 20:30Speaker 1: five days. There's no water supply, there's no fresh springs,
- 20:34Speaker 1: there's no stores available, you know, unless you go twelve
- 20:38Speaker 1: miles either direction. There's just no possible way, no possible way.
- 20:43Speaker 1: The mosquitoes would carry you off in the first night,
- 20:46Speaker 1: literally blood sucking mosquitoes. Take a listen to more from
- 20:50Speaker 1: our new friend Swamp Store. Alan McEwan cut one fifty seven.
- 20:55Speaker 1: This train here is ninety underwater. There's no place happened.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if he packed a backpack for
- 21:03Speaker 1: a couple of days, yeah, but you know, unless he's
- 21:06Speaker 1: got hide like a gator, there's no nobody's gonna five
- 21:10Speaker 1: with the mosquitoes and the bugs and this and that.
- 21:12Speaker 1: And then we have the theory of people saying, oh
- 21:14Speaker 1: the gators have eaten him or something like that. You know, again,
- 21:20Speaker 1: gators out here when are more afraid of you than
- 21:23Speaker 1: you are of them. You walk up on a gat
- 21:25Speaker 1: or ninety percent of the time, boom, they tell it.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Go the other way. Anything dead you find in the woods,
- 21:31Speaker 1: you're gonna look up. You're gonna see buzzers flying like crazy.
- 21:34Speaker 1: I've been on a horse, I've been in a car
- 21:37Speaker 1: and have seen buzzards down the road. Fifty to one
- 21:40Speaker 1: hundred of them pull up on him and it's nothing
- 21:41Speaker 1: but a squirrel. So you know you have a dead
- 21:47Speaker 1: body out here. Yeah, that is decomposing everything. And Rick
- 21:51Speaker 1: and Morter said in you are going to see buzzards
- 21:53Speaker 1: on it. You are going to see buzzards on it.
- 21:56Speaker 1: And Michael ruis joining us from on Northport, Florida, where
- 22:00Speaker 1: as you know by now there is the Carlton Reserve
- 22:02Speaker 1: twenty five thousand acres of swamp lan He's right, Michael.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I'm telling you, having done several swamp expeditions on my
- 22:10Speaker 1: own and having taken my children out two months ago.
- 22:15Speaker 1: When you come up, every gator to a fault, and
- 22:19Speaker 1: we saw probably about eighty gators. Everyone large and small
- 22:25Speaker 1: would see us and go underwater and go away. Now
- 22:28Speaker 1: did I get in the water. No, I didn't want
- 22:30Speaker 1: to tempt the gator. But long story short, he's totally right.
- 22:35Speaker 1: So granted that the conditions are inhabitable in Carlton Reserve,
- 22:41Speaker 1: let's just assume that's a big lie. I know Wendy
- 22:45Speaker 1: Patrick's going to want to jump in if the parents knowingly,
- 22:48Speaker 1: if the parents knowingly lied to police about their son's whereabouts,
- 22:53Speaker 1: could they face charges? But back to you, Michael Louise,
- 22:56Speaker 1: I want to find out. The FBI shows up at
- 22:59Speaker 1: the screen porch Brian Laundry's, her parents home. They the
- 23:05Speaker 1: parents had left something for the FBI. The FBI came
- 23:09Speaker 1: and got it. What was it? So the FBI was
- 23:13Speaker 1: looking for DNA evidence. They were looking for materials from
- 23:16Speaker 1: the home that could be used to match Bryant's DNA
- 23:20Speaker 1: for whatever investigative reasons that they have. And that's that
- 23:24Speaker 1: was the exchange there. They only stayed for about three
- 23:26Speaker 1: minutes and then they were on their way. So do
- 23:29Speaker 1: you want to believe Do you believe, Michael Ruis that
- 23:32Speaker 1: the fits are now and locals are shifting focus away
- 23:36Speaker 1: from Carlton Reserve? I do because I can tell you
- 23:39Speaker 1: the police presence at the reserve is way down from
- 23:42Speaker 1: what it was just a couple of days ago. The search,
- 23:45Speaker 1: she's kind of more compact in a tighter area, and
- 23:48Speaker 1: there's less manpower there, and the experts all say that
- 23:51Speaker 1: they don't think he's in there. So you know, where's
- 23:53Speaker 1: the next step of the investigation. I think the FBI
- 23:56Speaker 1: is as ahead of us on that and they're looking
- 23:58Speaker 1: somewhere else. I think you're absolutely right. So next focus
- 24:02Speaker 1: is if he's not there, where is he? I gotta
- 24:06Speaker 1: hand it to our TikToker that we played earlier today,
- 24:11Speaker 1: because people are looking for him, no doubt in my mind,
- 24:15Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick, this guy has altered his appearance. Yeah. And
- 24:18Speaker 1: you know the reason we think that, and the evidence
- 24:22Speaker 1: that leads to that is we often say in action
- 24:24Speaker 1: speaks louder than words, and the parents inaction by not
- 24:27Speaker 1: going out to the swamp yelling for their son, all
- 24:29Speaker 1: the things that you would do if the twins were missing,
- 24:32Speaker 1: and all of us would do if our kids were missing,
- 24:35Speaker 1: really is indicative of them knowing he went in the
- 24:37Speaker 1: opposite direction he got. However many days lead time this is,
- 24:41Speaker 1: but that's what anybody would assume looking at their behavior.
- 24:44Speaker 1: So yes, maybe they're looking in the swamp for evidence,
- 24:48Speaker 1: but that's not where they're going to find Brian laundry.
- 24:50Speaker 1: And I'm going to circle back with you, Wendy about
- 24:51Speaker 1: could the parents be held libel if they knowingly misled police?
- 24:55Speaker 1: So let's go out to our expert, Sheryl McCallum, and
- 24:59Speaker 1: just got morga. If he's not in there, where is he? Well,
- 25:03Speaker 1: there's something I want to say before I get to that.
- 25:05Speaker 1: The FBI came for DNA evidence. Oh yeah, not scent evidence. Hey,
- 25:11Speaker 1: you know what the wait a minute, why do we
- 25:13Speaker 1: keep focusing on laundry as it relates to the search
- 25:18Speaker 1: in Carlton Reserve. A lot of people thought, oh, DNA,
- 25:21Speaker 1: have they found a body? Have they found evidence? They
- 25:22Speaker 1: want to match it up? What about getting his DNA
- 25:25Speaker 1: to make an accurate comparison to DNA found on Gabby's
- 25:29Speaker 1: body so he can be charged? Oh I'm sure are
- 25:33Speaker 1: you were just about to say what I said? That's
- 25:35Speaker 1: what I was like you. They won't DNA evidence, not
- 25:39Speaker 1: scent evidence, because it's not about the search for him,
- 25:42Speaker 1: it's about something they found at that scene. Maybe he
- 25:45Speaker 1: bled at that scene. Maybe his blood is at the
- 25:48Speaker 1: murder scene as well. We don't know, but to me
- 25:51Speaker 1: that is critical that they want DNA and not scent evidence.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Let's see, I agree, Scott. It could be blood evidence.
- 25:59Speaker 1: It could be alio advance, which is skin tissue. It
- 26:03Speaker 1: could be it could be sperm m saliva. Yes, yeah,
- 26:13Speaker 1: it could be any number of things. And Mac do
- 26:16Speaker 1: me a favor next time you get a chance to
- 26:18Speaker 1: take a look at the video from them on that
- 26:20Speaker 1: screen porch, I urge everybody to do this. That was
- 26:22Speaker 1: provided by fox Uh, one of those agents. It looks
- 26:26Speaker 1: as though he's actually swabbing what appears to be like
- 26:29Speaker 1: a doorbell or something. You get a quick glimpse of
- 26:32Speaker 1: it right there in that frame. So what they're doing,
- 26:36Speaker 1: I think relative to the DNA of the parents, they're
- 26:38Speaker 1: trying to separate them. They're trying to vet all of
- 26:41Speaker 1: the stuff. Wait, hold on, what yeah, cross contamination of
- 26:48Speaker 1: anything that's in there. They want to separate out the
- 26:51Speaker 1: parental DNA. Relative to this evidence, Remember they were taking
- 26:56Speaker 1: stuff out of that van and bringing it into the house.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Do you recall they talked about this early on where
- 27:02Speaker 1: the van had been unloaded, it was reloaded, and then
- 27:05Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the FBI now has the van,
- 27:09Speaker 1: which is significant compared to the Mustang. They still still
- 27:13Speaker 1: in possession of this van. That means that there's something
- 27:16Speaker 1: critical inside of that van. And I still hold I
- 27:20Speaker 1: still hold that. I think that if any that the
- 27:23Speaker 1: fatal event, there's a high likelihood that the fatal event
- 27:27Speaker 1: probably took This thing is secure. You're not going to
- 27:30Speaker 1: be able to see anything, even though they're out in
- 27:32Speaker 1: the world. With this Nancy, it's private. You can do
- 27:35Speaker 1: whatever you want to in there. And by god, he
- 27:37Speaker 1: was doing it out on the street, wasn't he. He
- 27:39Speaker 1: was doing whatever he wanted to out there. How much
- 27:40Speaker 1: more would he have done in that van? Although I
- 27:43Speaker 1: believe Cheryl McCullum that he had more swing room to
- 27:48Speaker 1: launch an attack, to hit her in the head with
- 27:50Speaker 1: a rod, to strangle her. I mean, to me, is
- 27:54Speaker 1: six and one half dozen the other Did he murder
- 27:56Speaker 1: in the van or did he murder outdoors where her
- 27:58Speaker 1: body was found? Right? More than likely he killed her
- 28:02Speaker 1: inside that van, and it was quick and it was
- 28:05Speaker 1: probably strangulation. What they're going to focus on, or the
- 28:08Speaker 1: things like the makeshift fire pit. What was he burning?
- 28:11Speaker 1: Was he burning her journal? Was he burning her cell phone?
- 28:15Speaker 1: Was he burning other things? And again they have found
- 28:18Speaker 1: his DNA on something that didn't belong So maybe he
- 28:22Speaker 1: even did things to her, you know, post injury, they're
- 28:27Speaker 1: gonna look for that. So if his DNA is on
- 28:29Speaker 1: a rock, if his DNA is on something that it
- 28:32Speaker 1: should not be a broken necklace, that's going to be
- 28:36Speaker 1: the key. I agree that a place in the van
- 28:41Speaker 1: it was suffocation because there's not really room to do
- 28:44Speaker 1: a whole lot else is that you just got? Yeah,
- 28:47Speaker 1: And one other thing that I'd like to point out.
- 28:50Speaker 1: They were campers, Nancy all right, and you know we've
- 28:52Speaker 1: seen the individual little tenth that they would set up.
- 28:54Speaker 1: What do you need in order to camp? Well, you've camped,
- 28:57Speaker 1: I've camp You're gonna need a hammer to drive stakes with.
- 29:01Speaker 1: You've probably got a saw in there somewhere to cut
- 29:04Speaker 1: branches with. You've certainly got a knife, don't you. And
- 29:07Speaker 1: so all of those implements that were contained within that
- 29:09Speaker 1: van are potentially evidence rich items that they're trying to
- 29:15Speaker 1: compare things with crime stories with Nancy Grace, guys, I've
- 29:30Speaker 1: got so so much is happening right now. We've got
- 29:34Speaker 1: to get to something. Michael Ruise, I want you to
- 29:36Speaker 1: listen to our cut one fifty. This is Amanda Mackenzie
- 29:39Speaker 1: at Fox thirty five. Listen. We do know that Laundry's
- 29:43Speaker 1: parents they were here in Orlando yesterday. And that's right,
- 29:46Speaker 1: Danielle and Amy. Yes, Laundry's parents were here to meet
- 29:49Speaker 1: with their attorney. It's not clear what they spoke about
- 29:52Speaker 1: or why they met in Orlando at the indictment against
- 29:55Speaker 1: their son. Now labeling him a federal fugitive only reveals
- 29:59Speaker 1: a sliver of mission in the case. Okay, Michael, Rui's
- 30:03Speaker 1: joining me from Florida. Michael. In the middle of all this,
- 30:08Speaker 1: they think their son could be out in Carlton Reserve
- 30:10Speaker 1: killing himself. They get in their dodge Ram, isn't it
- 30:13Speaker 1: a dodge Ram, kind of a Burgundy Dodge Ram, and
- 30:16Speaker 1: they drive all the way to Orlando, which I think
- 30:19Speaker 1: is about an hour and a half away from their
- 30:20Speaker 1: home Ish and en route they stop at a public library.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Of course their detailed by the Lord only knows who,
- 30:31Speaker 1: but certainly the Daily Mail was there. And apparently they
- 30:36Speaker 1: go in the public library and they're you know, wandering
- 30:40Speaker 1: around and then I think they see a reporter and
- 30:43Speaker 1: very quickly after that they leave. What do you think
- 30:46Speaker 1: about this theory that they went to use the computer
- 30:52Speaker 1: at the public library, probably under a fake name, to
- 30:58Speaker 1: text or email Brian Laundry on his Brandy Burner phone.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Think about it, Michael. That's certainly something you could do
- 31:05Speaker 1: out of public library and a good way to use
- 31:08Speaker 1: the Internet anonymously, So you know, that's something to take
- 31:13Speaker 1: a look at. And and and for the Burner phone,
- 31:15Speaker 1: you know, we haven't confirmed that there's a Burner phone,
- 31:17Speaker 1: but I can tell you this. Brian Laundry and Gabby
- 31:20Speaker 1: Petito shared his Spotify account and we reported on it
- 31:24Speaker 1: a couple of days after she was reporting missing. And
- 31:26Speaker 1: since then, that was about two weeks ago, the account
- 31:28Speaker 1: has changed. And all of the playlists on this account
- 31:32Speaker 1: where had names, so you know, and they were it
- 31:34Speaker 1: was about mountain climbing and you know, isolation and things
- 31:37Speaker 1: like that, and they had these names that were relevant
- 31:39Speaker 1: I guess to the music in them. And now they're
- 31:41Speaker 1: all unnamed. So someone changed that, and we know it
- 31:45Speaker 1: wasn't Gabby. So who logged into this Spotify account and
- 31:48Speaker 1: changed that is a question that you know, if they're right,
- 31:54Speaker 1: what about it, Cheryl jump in. I mean, I'm just
- 31:57Speaker 1: learning that, But I think that is from the indus.
- 32:00Speaker 1: And again, I think that's very telling to who would
- 32:04Speaker 1: manipulate this whole thing, Who would change the music, who
- 32:07Speaker 1: would send a bogus text, who would go home on
- 32:10Speaker 1: the first and act like nothing's going on for another
- 32:12Speaker 1: for eleven days? And he doesn't go missing until I
- 32:16Speaker 1: believe the attorney says I've got to meet with him.
- 32:20Speaker 1: I've at least got to meet with him over you
- 32:22Speaker 1: FaceTime if nothing else, And when they can't produce him,
- 32:26Speaker 1: suddenly he's missing. But I'm going to point out again
- 32:29Speaker 1: mama never reported him missing Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
- 32:34Speaker 1: till Friday night. Can I also point out something else,
- 32:37Speaker 1: mindy passion. You know how much high profile lawyers charge.
- 32:42Speaker 1: The day that the parents leave home and drive to Orlando,
- 32:45Speaker 1: it's about one hundred and fifty miles away from their
- 32:48Speaker 1: home in Sarasota County. The lawyer flies flies from New
- 32:54Speaker 1: York to Florida specifically to meet with the parents. Now,
- 33:00Speaker 1: when you get a high priced lawyer on a plane
- 33:04Speaker 1: fly from New York to Florida to mate in an
- 33:07Speaker 1: obscure location. There's a reason, Wendy, Yeah, there's definitely a reason.
- 33:12Speaker 1: That's going to be one expensive lawyer. But the reason
- 33:15Speaker 1: is to be able to have the kind of advice
- 33:17Speaker 1: that it almost seems like they had before in terms
- 33:20Speaker 1: of would they be liable personally. Remember, one of the
- 33:23Speaker 1: easiest charges to prove in cases like this is lying
- 33:26Speaker 1: to authority. These parents refuse to speak to investigators in
- 33:31Speaker 1: the early days of this probe, and that would make
- 33:33Speaker 1: it hard to use that kind of a charge that
- 33:36Speaker 1: is much easier to prove. I've got some new evidence
- 33:41Speaker 1: for you. Is everybody sitting down? You may need to
- 33:43Speaker 1: lay down for this one. It was undercover ages believed
- 33:48Speaker 1: to be the FBI, followed the Laundrys into the Orlando
- 33:52Speaker 1: Public Library and hovered producing eighties dance CDs in a
- 33:58Speaker 1: Colombian art installa that it's not clear why they were
- 34:02Speaker 1: in the library, because they certainly did not check anything out.
- 34:08Speaker 1: We can make our own deductions why they were there. Again,
- 34:11Speaker 1: if they wanted to kill time, why not just go
- 34:13Speaker 1: to the McDonald's drive through and get some of the
- 34:15Speaker 1: best coffee in the world. That doesn't cost eight dollars
- 34:18Speaker 1: a cup? Why not that? Why go and wander around
- 34:23Speaker 1: the public library forcing the undercover cops to peruse eighties
- 34:28Speaker 1: dance CDs and a Colombian art installation. I mean, you
- 34:33Speaker 1: think they were there for the Colombian art Cheryl for
- 34:36Speaker 1: the eighties dance CD collection. A lot of parents when
- 34:40Speaker 1: they fear their child has committed suicide or is missing,
- 34:44Speaker 1: nothing's going to come for them like some eighties dance music. Okay,
- 34:48Speaker 1: what about it, Wendy Patrick. Could the parents if big,
- 34:52Speaker 1: if if they intentionally misled police trying to find laundry,
- 35:00Speaker 1: would they face charges? Yes? In that case, that is
- 35:04Speaker 1: exactly what the issue is going to be. Did they
- 35:07Speaker 1: know and did they intentionally intend to prevent the police
- 35:11Speaker 1: from finding out the information they need to find Brian.
- 35:14Speaker 1: That's the tough thing to prove, but it also would
- 35:16Speaker 1: be an explanation for all the conduct we've been explaining,
- 35:20Speaker 1: including the foray into the public library where there are
- 35:24Speaker 1: options of untraceable communication. So yees, under those facts, they
- 35:29Speaker 1: do have something to worry about, and that money spent
- 35:31Speaker 1: on that lawyer would be well spent. Of course, maybe
- 35:34Speaker 1: they were just hiding out in there waiting for the
- 35:36Speaker 1: lawyer to show up. But they waited around thirty minutes
- 35:39Speaker 1: to not look at a single book or display, ignoring requests,
- 35:44Speaker 1: of course from the Daily Mail. Where were you, Michael Ruise?
- 35:47Speaker 1: Were you hung up in the ADCDS? So when they
- 35:49Speaker 1: were in Orlando? I was actually I had just gotten
- 35:53Speaker 1: to Northport and I was kind of getting the lay
- 35:54Speaker 1: of the land here. That was sarcastic, Michael, you don't
- 35:58Speaker 1: have to say me where you really were. I know you.
- 36:00Speaker 1: We're not looking at the ADCDS. So, Michael Wendy, what
- 36:03Speaker 1: was your final answer? Yes, no, could they face charges?
- 36:06Speaker 1: The answer is yes, under the fact that you laid
- 36:09Speaker 1: out if they knew and they intentionally prevented the police
- 36:11Speaker 1: from learning what they need to do to find Bryan
- 36:14Speaker 1: and Andre Angie. Do you think they care if they're
- 36:17Speaker 1: going to face charges. I don't know. I mean, I
- 36:19Speaker 1: don't understand how these people do not see how we see,
- 36:25Speaker 1: how we see their actions. I'm wondering, are they just dumb? No,
- 36:31Speaker 1: I don't think they're dumb at all. They're they're very
- 36:34Speaker 1: successful business people. They're not dumb at all. But you know,
- 36:38Speaker 1: I'm telling Michael Ruise. You're there in Northport? Do they
- 36:42Speaker 1: let the shades down where where nobody can see what's
- 36:45Speaker 1: going on inside the home? Oh? Yeah, that home is dark.
- 36:48Speaker 1: You know, everything's closed. You don't see them, you don't
- 36:51Speaker 1: see any activity. And you know they weren't rolling the
- 36:53Speaker 1: lawn at first, but it's starting to get a little
- 36:55Speaker 1: bit tall compared to the neighbor's grass, So they kind
- 36:58Speaker 1: of spend a lot of time doing I don't know
- 36:59Speaker 1: what in there where we can't him. Well, really, honestly,
- 37:03Speaker 1: do you blame them? I mean, I don't want Michael
- 37:05Speaker 1: Ruiz with his long lands at the edge of my
- 37:11Speaker 1: long looking in at me when I'm walking by in
- 37:14Speaker 1: my shorts and T shirt. Do you blame them for
- 37:16Speaker 1: letting the shades down? So, yes, it's dark, but you
- 37:20Speaker 1: know they've got to know they're being tailed every time
- 37:23Speaker 1: they leave. So final word, jes Scot Morgan. You know
- 37:26Speaker 1: I've been thinking about you know, what are the odds
- 37:29Speaker 1: that he actually has a burner phone Nancy? And at
- 37:33Speaker 1: first I would say pretty good because they had about
- 37:35Speaker 1: a week to get ready, they knew what had gone down,
- 37:38Speaker 1: and yeah, and how did he get it into his hands?
- 37:41Speaker 1: Did the did the attorney facilitate this? You know, did
- 37:44Speaker 1: he show up from New York with I don't know,
- 37:45Speaker 1: three burner phones? Now? I think they would have already
- 37:48Speaker 1: had them because he went on the run on September eleven.
- 37:52Speaker 1: And this is the this is the interesting thing again.
- 37:55Speaker 1: I go back to this kind of manly thing that
- 37:57Speaker 1: they're talking about, where he's, you know, the model to
- 38:00Speaker 1: day Daniel Boone. He's attached to mommy and daddy. He's
- 38:03Speaker 1: totally depended upon them. I don't think he's walking around
- 38:07Speaker 1: untethered out there. He has to be connected somehow, some way,
- 38:11Speaker 1: either through the attorney or through the appearance or maybe
- 38:15Speaker 1: vis vi the attorney, then to the parents. I have
- 38:18Speaker 1: no idea. There's some kind of triangulation thing. How do
- 38:20Speaker 1: we get that? What from from a from a with
- 38:23Speaker 1: a sting Ray? How do we get that? If the
- 38:25Speaker 1: parents use a burner to call him or receive his call,
- 38:29Speaker 1: the only way to get that, to grab it is
- 38:32Speaker 1: by how Joe Scott. Yeah, I think that that's going
