His disappearance prompted those following the case to query whether or not his parents will receive any jail time.
Chris and Roberta Laundrie are not currently facing any charges in relation to the case.
The parents initially claimed to have last seen Brian on September 14, 2021, but later revised that date in a statement issued through their attorney.
After finally reporting him missing on September 17, they told police they had driven to the reserve in search of him.
While they say they didn't find Brian, they did find his silver Ford Mustang and drove it back to their home before contacting the cops the next day.
An investigation continues.
