Brian Laundrie In Hiding...Or Dead

 Gabbys boyfriend is probably also dead… His family is a shit show

I opined the same the other day and I agree with his view of the Laundrie family. This raised a question in my mind a little while ago: Does Brian Laundrie own guns and are any of them missing? So far, Laundrie has not been found and the authorities have stopped searching the area he was supposedly was backpacking in. The Laundrie family has been less than cooperative with investigators despite pleas from the Petito family. That certainly sends up quite a number of red flags.

According to Fox 13 in Tampa Bay:

Laundrie was named a person of interest in the case earlier this week. However, despite pleading with the family and their attorney, investigators had not heard from the Laundrie family at all until Friday night, when they told investigators their son had actually been missing since Tuesday. Investigators spent two hours at the Laundrie home collecting things they say may help them find Brian and hopefully get answers. An attorney for the Petito family says Brian is not missing but rather on the run, adding that the Laundrie family’s request to have the North Port police look for their son but not for Gabby is "reprehensible and hypocritical."

Investigators are asking the public for help in locating Laundrie. They say he is a white male, 5-foot-8 and weighing 160 pounds. He has brown eyes, very short brown hair, trimmed facial hair, and was last seen wearing a hiking bag with a waist strap. Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-Call-FBI.

With his face plastered all over the place on social media, he won't be able to hide for very long. If he's dead, I guess they'll have to watch for buzzards in the area.

The Resurgence of the RV

The RV rental business is booming, as one might expect during times where people want to avoid air travel or any other kind of travel where social distancing is difficult.

ABC Action News (Tampa Bay, Florida) posted:

COVID-19 has changed the way most people travel or didn't travel last year and experts say nothing proves that more than the RV industry.

Sales and rentals are hitting new records and RV parks are booked out months in advance this summer as Americans look for ways to stay out of airplanes and hotels. Even still, it is not stopping first-time RVers from giving it a try and hitting the open road in style.

In his 16 years of renting RVs, Walt Williams has never seen customers come through the doors at Suncoast RV like they have in the past year.

"A lot of people want to try it before they buy it. We've got a lot more first-timers. People are coming in trying RVing for the first time because they don't want to fly. They don't want to stay in hotels and they really want to see the United States," says Williams.

Suncoast RV in Hillsborough County specializes in RV rentals. It's the way many folks go before they make the second largest purchase of their lives which can range from $60,000 all the way up to a $1 million.

Williams says rentals are up 180% year to year.
