On Monday, authorities, including the FBI, invaded the Florida home Brian Laundrie and his family. They also removed his parents from their residence. This was just a day after Gabby Petito's body, believed to be Laundrie, was discovered.
"The FBI executed a court-authorized search order today at the Laundrie home in North Port, FL that is relevant to the Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito investigation," the FBI Tampa office tweeted Monday.
Fox News reported that police declared Monday a crime scene at the North Port home of Laundrie and Petito, who lived together with their parents in Florida.
The FBI arrived just moments after authorities had already established a perimeter around the area and put yellow police tape on the spot.
WFLA-TV reported that approximately 15 FBI agents and North Port officers ran into the house.
