Six signs Brian Laundrie may be ALIVE from discarded energy drinks to Spotify playlists & why buzzards offer key clue
ALLEGED sightings at campsites, a discarded Monster energy drink can, and “changes” to Spotify playlists appear to be among a series of signs that suggest Gabby Petito's fiancé Brian Laundrie may be alive.
Ranchers think that buzzards could offer a key clue regarding the 23-year-old’s whereabouts, who was reported missing on September 17.
Panthers and black bears are also known to prowl through the reserve.
FBI detectives, cops, and bloodhounds waded through the swampy marshlands and navigated the tricky terrain using swamp buggies as they tried to find Laundrie.
Officers used drones and infrared technology while dive teams scoured the salty marshlands in the 25,000-acre park.
Experienced rancher Alan McEwen told “Anything dead you find in the woods, you’re gonna look up, you’re gonna see buzzards flying like crazy."
“No buzzards, no body is my theory. And I haven’t seen any buzzards flying.”
Experts have suggested that Laundrie, a self-proclaimed "nature enthusiast", might be on the Appalachian Trail.
One of Gabby's pals Rose Davis told : “Laundrie is out in the wilderness, I promise you. He lived in the Appalachians by himself for months.”
There have been several alleged sightings of Laundrie since he was reported missing.
Hunter Mannies, 44, told the that the man was drinking alone and seemed "mad at the world".
