The image was uploaded earlier this year as part of a montage of photos on Gabby's TikTok channel Nomadic Statik. THE LAUNDRIE FAMILY'S MIXED-UP TIMELINE Brian's parents initially gave the police the wrong date of their son's disappearance. The family's attorney revealed that the Laundries provided investigators with the incorrect date for his alleged disappearance into the Carlton Reserve in September. Brian ...left to hike in the preserve... on Monday, September 13, not Tuesday, September 14 as originally shared, their lawyer revealed, resulting in a barrage of Reddit speculation. Steven Bertolino wrote in a text response to anchor Josh Benson from WFLA in Florida, ...The Laundries were basing the date Brian left on their recollection of certain events." THE LAUNDRIE FAMILY ...IGNORING' TEXTS/CALLS It is also unknown why the Laundries "didn't return... Gabby's mom's texts as she desperately wanted to find her daughter. Nichole Schmidt says she tried to communicate with Chris and Roberta Laundrie after she lost contact with Gabby in late August. Gabby last spoke to her family on August 25 as she and her fiancé reached Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. During an interview with Dr. Phil, Nichole claimed Brian's parents ignored the calls and texts, leaving her "infuriated.... It's not known if the Laundries' deliberately ignored the texts and calls. BRIAN LAUNDRIE'S FAMILY CAMPING TRIP Laundrie and his parents stayed at a Florida campground 75 miles from their home just days before he vanished, the family's attorney has confirmed. The potential lead in the case was first offered by Dog the Bounty Hunter, who claimed he'd received a tip that Laundrie and his parents had visited Fort De Soto Park twice in September, most recently on September 6. It is not clear why the Laundries didn't report him missing until September 17. Two days later, Gabby's remains are found near a campground in Wyoming. THE SEARCH THAT TURNED UP LAUNDRIE'S REMAINS Just minutes after Roberta and Chris walked into the Carlton Reserve in late October, they found Brian's remains and belongings, with a highly pictured bag showing what looks like a notebook among Brian's stuff. Chris and Roberta were seen moving in and out of areas of the brush, before separating for roughly 12 minutes when Chris lead two men into the brush on the left side of a trail. He returned without the cops and the couple continued on. A video captured by Fox shows Chris wading through another patch of bushes while Roberta stands motionless in the middle of a trail, staring off in the opposite direction. It's unclear what exactly was found by officers, but some items were found near to a trial Brian was known to use. Chris and Roberta Laundrie searched with the officers for a while before breaking away by themselves. Those following the case may also get a bit more insight into Gabby and Brian's relationship as both of her parents participated in the new documentary.
