OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. — The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office in northwestern Florida said Tuesday that it was "actively" looking into a report about a trail camera capturing an image of a man resembling Brian Laundrie, the person of interest in the Gabby Petito case, according to Fox News.
"I’m not saying this is the guy but whoever was on my trail camera this morning in Baker, Fl strongly fits the description of Brian Laundrie, authorities have been contacted but people in the North West Florida area be on the look out," a Facebook user named Sam Bass wrote last night about the picture taken at 6:17 a.m. local time Monday morning.
The sheriff's office said they investigated but couldn't find any sign of Laundrie.
