Neighbors Say Brian Laundrie Was Seen Running Out Of His Backyard Days After His Parents Claim He Disappeared

The alleged Brian Laundrie sightings continue, but now a neighbor of his parents says witnesses saw the 23-year-old fugitive running out of Christopher and Roberta Laundrie's backyard several days after they claim they last saw him.
And there's apparently a video of the potential sighting.
This news comes on the heels of the Laundrie parents' attorney, Steven Bertolino, walking back the date his clients initially claimed Brian left home for an alleged solo hike in Florida's Carlton Reserve.
Christopher and Roberta have maintained since Sept. 17 – when they reported their son missing to authorities – that they had not seen him since Sept. 14.
Almost a month later, Bertolino announced there had been a mixup.
"The Laundries were basing the date Brian left on their recollection of certain events," he told a reporter on Tuesday. "Upon further communication with the FBI and confirmation of the Mustang being at the Laundrie residence on Wednesday September 15, we now believe the day Brian left to hike in the preserve was Monday September 13."
Despite the alarming error in pertinent information, the date Christopher and Roberta reported their son missing has not changed from Sept. 17.
Except now, Brian was allegedly seen on that day, taking off from his parents' backyard.
This case is one of the first of its kind in that internet sleuths and untrained reporters alike have been on the frontline of the investigation, which is formally being led by the FBI in conjunction with local police departments.
