Brian Laundrie seen SMILING with Cassie's kids in pics from family's Sep 6 camping trip

Cassie confirmed that she last saw Brian on September 6 when they went for a family camping trip at Florida's Fort De Soto Park

Brian Laundrie’s sister Cassie has shared photos of the camping trip she took along with her brother and parents with ABC's ‘Good Morning America’ as she continued to maintain her stand that she does not know where her brother is. Brian has been missing since September 14 after returning to his home alone on September 1 from the cross-country trip he embarked on with Gabby Petito in July.

During an interview with ABC's ‘Good Morning America’ that aired on Tuesday, October 5, Cassie said, “No, I do not know where Brian is... I'd turn him in.” She also shared photos of the camping trip that showed Brian smiling with his family and two nephews, which has disgusted the internet.

In the recent interview, Cassie stated, “I worry about him. I hope he's OK, and then I am angry and don't know what to think... I would tell my brother to just come forward and get us out of this horrible mess.” Gabby was found dead inside a national park in Wyoming on September 19, five days after Brian vanished after coming back to his home on September 1 without Gabby.

Though Brian has not been officially named a suspect in Gabby’s death, an arrest warrant has been issued for him after he allegedly used a debit card believed to be of Gabby. The arrest warrant states that he used the card “on or about August 30, 2021, through and including on or about September 1, 2021” in Wyoming and elsewhere and “obtained things of value aggregating to $1,000 or more.”

In the Tuesday interview, Cassie confirmed that she last saw Brian on September 6 when they went for a family camping trip at Florida's Fort De Soto Park. She told ABC, “we just went for a couple of hours and we ate dinner and had s'mores around the campfire and left. There was nothing peculiar about it. There was no feeling of grand goodbye. There was no nothing. It was just a regular visit.”

Cassie also went on to clarify that she has no idea if her parents have anything to do with Brian’s disappearance. “I don't know if my parents are involved,” she insisted before she mentioned that she never saw any incident of domestic violence between Brian and Gabby. However, she commented on the bodycam footage of the August 12 incident and said, “It was pretty typical of them to argue and try and take space from each other, but people saying they saw public domestic violence, I've never seen anything like that from either of them.”

Cassie also told ABC that if Brian had come to her on September 1, things would have been better. “I really wish he'd come to me first that day with the van, because I don't think we would be here,” she said, before commenting on her brother’s survival skills into the wilds. She added: “I'd say Brian is a mediocre survivalist. It wouldn't surprise me if he could last out there a very long time. But also, I don't think anything would surprise me at this point. If the FBI finds him in Timbuktu, I'd be like, 'Alright, well, that's where he was.' I've got nothing. I hope my brother is alive, because I want answers just as much as everybody else.”

Meanwhile, Twitter was filled with comments on the pictures shared by Cassie. A user wrote, “The smile on this POSs face DAYS after he murdered #GabbyPetito makes me sick to my stomach! And the fact that his parent KNEW and are letting this EVIL person be around their grandkids is just as sick! This only proves more that he's a sociopath! #justiceforgabby #BrianLaundrie.” Another one noted, “WHY IS BRIAN LAUNDRIE WEARING GABBY'S BRACELET AFTER HE RETURNED BACK TO FLORIDA. This photo is of Brian at Camp De Soto with his family. I want to punch that smile off his face.”

A person wrote, “Scary world we live in. People like this walk among us. Someone can kill a person (allegedly) then go on vacation, laugh and play with children w/o a care in the world. I cant hide a single emotion and others can hide everything behind a fake smile. Scary #brianlaundrie.” “#BrianLaundrie out living a happy life, with his nephews, after he killed someone he was suppose to love. He has a smile on his face. No care in the world. Disgusting human, with disgusting, trash, parents. #GabbyPetito we'll get you justice,” the second one added.
