North Port, Fla. – Possible human remains were discovered inside 
Florida's Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park on Wednesday, 
the same day Chris and Roberta Laundrie, the parents of fugitive 
Brian Laundrie, were inside the park when "some articles 
belonging to Brian were found."

A senior law enforcement source told Fox News' David Spunt "what 
appear to be human remains" were found at a site being searched 
by a cadaver dog within the park. The FBI provided an update on 
Wednesday evening confirming that investigators discovered what 
appear to be human remains, "along with personal items, such as 
a backpack and notebook belonging to Brian Laundrie," just hours 
after his parents searched.

Earlier in the day, Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino 
told to Fox News Digital the Laundries informed law enforcement 
on Tuesday night of their intentions to search the park and met 
officers there. Bertolino confirmed that while searching areas 
that Brian frequented, "some articles belonging to Brian were 
found."

Officers then began conducting a more thorough search of the 
area, Bertolino said. A spokesperson for the Sarasota County 
Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that the office was called 
to the Myakkahatchee on Wednesday.

Sarasota County's chief medical examiner, Dr. Russell Vega, told 
Fox News Digital in an email that his office responded to the 
area "at the request of law enforcement."

The park is now closed to the public, having reopened only 
Tuesday following a weeks-long search for the fugitive.

Brian Laundrie has been named a person of interest in the 
disappearance and subsequent homicide of his fiancee, Gabby 
Petito. The FBI later issued a warrant for his arrest on charges 
related to his unauthorized use of her bank card.

The Laundries, who have claimed their son went to Myakkahatchee 
on Sept. 13, the day he was last seen, left their North Port 
home just before 7:15 a.m. local time for the environmental 
park, where two men in hiking gear – including at least one who 
later identified himself as a law enforcement officer – began 
trailing behind them.

The Laundries and one of the men appeared to discuss a discovery 
before the parents left the park, which was then closed to media 
and the public.

In a worldwide exclusive, video obtained by Fox News Digital 
shows the Laundries and the law enforcement officer huddling and 
speaking as the officer appears to show the couple an unknown 
discovery. The officer appeared to tell the parents: "I think we 
might have found something."

During the couple's time inside, Chris Laundrie could be seen 
continually moving in and out of areas of the brush. After a 
short while, he and Roberta Laundrie separated, with Chris and 
the two men moving into brush on the left side of the trail for 
approximately 12 minutes.

Chris returned without law enforcement, and the couple continued 
on. The Laundries later discovered a white bag and a dark-
colored object after traveling through a patch of brambles at 
the edge of the brush at a clearing. They then could be seen 
putting the object into the bag and handing it over to the law 
enforcement officer shortly thereafter, who later took it from 
them.

On their way out of the park, the couple made a phone call and 
then received a call. There they were soon joined by the law 
enforcement officer, who could be seen patting Chris Laundrie's 
shoulder as he huddled with the couple.

The couple left the park at 8:45 a.m. The Laundries returned 
home shortly thereafter, and appeared emotional when confronted 
by protesters there.

Meanwhile, about a dozen uniformed law enforcement officers and 
approximately six people in plainclothes could be seen entering 
the park, with several police or unmarked vehicles and gators 
seen entering. The North Port Mobile Command Center arrived at 
the park shortly after 10:30 a.m. local time.

A spokesperson for North Port Police Department referred Fox 
News Digital to the FBI for comment. An FBI spokesperson did not 
immediately respond.

Chris and Roberta Laundrie said Brian, 23, left his family’s 
North Port, Florida, home on Sept. 13 to hike in the 
Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, located alongside the T. 
Mabry Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve. The Laundries' attorney had 
initially identified the date of Brian's disappearance as being 
Sept. 14 before changing the timeline weeks later.

Since his disappearance, state, local, county and federal law 
enforcement have extensively searched the reserve and the 
Myakkahatchee, where Laundrie is said to have parked his car at 
the time.

His family did not announce until Sept. 17 – four days after he 
allegedly left – that he had not returned.

Laundrie and 22-year-old Petito left for a trip in mid-June with 
the plan to visit national parks in her white converted Ford 
Transit. The couple had met years earlier on Long Island, New 
York, where they grew up and later moved into the North Port 
home with his Brian’s parents, Chris and Roberta.

But Brian Laundrie arrived back in North Port on Sept. 1 – with 
the van, but without Petito.

Petito’s mother, Nichole Schmidt, reported her missing to 
Suffolk County Police in New York on Sept. 11. Search teams 
discovered Petito’s body near Wyoming's Grand Teton National 
Park on Sept. 19 and announced shortly thereafter that she had 
been the victim of a homicide.

Authorities later said she was found to have died of "manual 
strangulation."
