Brian Laundrie's Parents Chris & Roberta Claim They Haven't Heard From FBI Or North Port Police Since Son's Bones Were Identified

Brian Laundrie's parents have apparently not heard a peep from any kind of law enforcement agency since they were told the human remains discovered in a nature preserve near their Florida home belonged to their previously missing son.
Christopher and Roberta Laundrie received confirmation that the 23-year-old fugitive was dead last Thursday following a five-week nationwide manhunt that focused primarily on the vast Carlton Reserve, where Brian was last known to be.
According to their attorney, Steven Bertolino, Chris and Roberta have not contacted or been contacted by either the North Port Police Department or FBI since authorities informed Chris that a medical examiner had used a comparison of dental records to positively identify Brian's remains.
"No contact with (law enforcement) other than being informed of positive ID," Bertolino revealed.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Chris and Roberta will not be having a traditional funeral for their son and have opted to have his remains cremated when the time comes. They have temporarily left their home in North Port to "grieve privately."
Brian's remains (and two of his personal belongings) were discovered at Carlton Reserve's Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park on Oct. 20, mere hours after Chris and Roberta decided to join the search.
He was positively identified, and an initial autopsy was conducted; however, the Sarasota County medical examiner did not uncover a cause or manner of death.
"I was told that the manner and cause of death were not determined and the remains were sent to an anthropologist for further evaluation," Bertolino said Monday, adding there were no further updates.
