This is not the only 'Brian sighting' the Internet has come up with. A number of people have claimed to have seen the fugitive, with tips coming even from Mexico, Canada and Bahamas. Sharing a picture, a user on Twitter wrote, "Anyone have any new info on this #BrianLaundrie sighting near Green Cove Springs, Fl? The lady who took this photo said he ran to the woods as a police car drive by, then didn’t come out for 7 minutes. Then walked along the wooded tree line holding his arm up to block his face." "This is the ONLYYY #BrianLaundrie sighting so far that I’ve thought even REMOTELY looks like him. I put them side by side. This was taken in Mexico. Look at the ears. Look at the foreheads. Curved and then FLAT. The forehead rlly matches to me. Remember angles are different, too," another user wrote, sharing a different picture.

"A possible sighting of Brian Laundrie in Mexico as of yesterday," a Twitter page created to discuss the Gabby Petito-Brian Laundrie case shared. "Possible sighting of #BrianLaundrie by flight attendant in Toronto," wrote a user, while another wrote "Trail cam photo of possible #BrianLaundrie sighting in Northwest Florida compared to backpack seen in Gabby’s van."

Meanwhile, Laundrie's sister, Cassie Laundrie, recently said her family has been ignoring her after her brother disappeared and Petito died. Addressing protesters outside her Lakewood Ranch home Monday, October 4, Cassie said she did not know if her parents helped Laundrie escape and that she has not been able to speak with them. "I'm in the boat where I'm getting ignored by my family and thrown under the bus by my family's attorney," Cassie was heard saying. 

Police have been unable to locate Brian Laundrie as yet. He has been named as a person of interest in Petito's homicide and a warrant has also been issued against him.
