North Port Police are investigating the picture of a man who looks identical to Gabby Petito’s missing fiancé, Brian Laundrie.

The picture shows a bald man who looks like Brian, walking around two blocks from Brian’s home in North Port, Florida.

In an interview with the New York Post, Josh Taylor, spokesman for the North Port Police Department, said that the man in the photo may look like Brian Laundrie, but he has a tattoo on his left arm while Laundrie did not have that.


Zachary Randazzo, who captured the photo, said that he is not sure if the man is Brian. There was a search for Brian Laundrie in the Carlton Reserve in the Sarasota area on September 18, but it ended later because it was too late and it got dark.

For now, the FBI, the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Teton County Sheriff’s Office, and Jackson Police Department are searching for the Instagrammer at Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area in Wyoming.

Petito went missing two weeks ago while she went on a cross-country road trip with fiancé Laundrie.

He proposed to Petito in 2020 and they planned to get married. The couple went on an excursion but only Brian came back from the trip.

The 22-year-old Petito's parents received some information about Laundrie’s whereabouts but did not comment on anything. The van life blogger's parents filed a missing report at North Port Police Station on September 11, 2021.

Brian Laundrie has become a suspect because of his behavior. Petito’s mother said that she texted Brian’s mother, saying she was trying to contact her daughter. She also texted Brian, but there was no response from him. This made her feel that something was wrong.
