John Walsh, a long-time host of America's Most Wanted, said he would join in the manhunt to find Brian Laundrie. He is Gabby Petito's boyfriend and a person of concern in the case of her homicide death.
Walsh sought tips about Laundrie's location and stated that he would open In Pursuit with John Walsh on Wednesday. He will focus on Laundrie who was reported missing by his family last week, one week after Petito was reported missing.
Walsh said Monday that he was settling down to catch the dirtbag.
Walsh stated that this is a crime of homicide. The dirtbag is out there. I don't know how he managed to escape the house, with the FBI and local police watching him every day.
