Duane Chapman is once again urging fugitive Brian Laundrie to turn himself in – saying Gabby’s autopsy result makes him look guilty as sin. Wyoming coroner revealed on Tuesday that Gabby Petito was strangled to death by a human but did not say it was Brian.
The 22-year-old Long Island native had been strangled to death by “human force,” Teton County Coroner Brent Blue said in an interview on CNN.
“His best decision now would be to turn himself in,” Duane Chapman told The Sun, adding that Brian’s parents “need to be doing more to signal their 23-year-old son to stop running.”
Chapman said that Blue’s “statement has established a timeline that looks worse for fugitive Brian,” adding that Brian’s disappearance makes him look guilty.
“I can’t fathom how Brian’s parents can live with themselves. They need to be doing more to signal Brian to stop running,” the 68-year-old told the news outet.
Meanwhile, Chapman told WFLA on Tuesday that he would resume his search for Brian in Florida despite suffering an ankle injury during the massive manhunt. Chapman told WFLA that he decided to return to Colorado because he “couldn’t bring himself to leave.”
He said the coroner’s report is “not good for the Laundrie family,” adding that “strangulation is not an accident.” Gabby’s cause of death was listed as “manual strangulation/throttling.”
