'So we broke up, I left her out there I just decided to drive the van back home and, you know, let's go camping.The FBI announced Wednesday that partial human remains were located near Brian Laundrie's personal belongings in Florida's Carlton Reserve.
Experts including a former federal prosecutor, a former New York Police Department chief and a former D.C. homicide detective all stated the remains likely belonged to Laundrie, and they hoped the recovered notebook would provide insight into the details surrounding Petito's death.
