Brian Laundrie’s parents do not know their son’s whereabouts, the family’s attorney tells PEOPLE.
“Chris and Roberta Laundrie do not know where Brian is,” attorney Steve Bertolino said in a statement on Monday.
The 23-year-old reportedly left on Sept. 14 for a nature hike at the Carlton Reserve, which authorities have called “a vast and unforgiving location at times.” The 25,000-acre preserve is waist-deep in water in many areas.
“This is dangerous work for the search crews as they are wading through gator and snake-infested swamps and flooded hiking and biking trails,” North Port Police PIO Josh Taylor said in a news release last week.
Amid the search for Brian’s whereabouts, the U.S. District Court of Wyomingissued a federal warrant for his arrestThursday, alleging that he used unauthorized credit cards after Petito’s death.
