A spokesperson for the North Port Police Department pointed out that the FBI is the lead in the case and that the department didn’t make any decision.

News 12 reached out to the FBI but has not heard back.

It’s been nearly a month since Brian Laundrie was reported missing.

There was increased police activity Wednesday in the search for him at the Carlton Reserve.

Added police units and ATVs were brought in to search for the Long Island native, who is a person of interest in the case of Gabby Petito.

A warrant has also been issued for his arrest.

He is accused of using a bank card that did not belong to him.
