Will Chris and Robert Laundrie address the public?
Family lawyer Steve Bertolino claimed that Brian's parents may never speak, even if their son is confirmed dead.
Bertolino spoke with CNN’s Chris Cuomo regarding the family’s silence.
Cuomo asked the reason behind the family’s decision not to speak with authorities or Gabby's family to which Bertolino said he advised them not to.
“I can tell you the reason,” he said. “I told them not to.”
Cuomo then asked if the Laundries will “explain the situation” if and when Brian is found.
“It may come out in the future, it may not,” said Bertolino, alluding to his previous statement that the family is awaiting the forensic results.
“We may come back on that subject sometime in the future.”
“The probability is strong that it is Brian’s remains but we are going to wait for the forensic results to come in to verify that.”
