Brian Laundrie's 'Angry' Sister Cassie Says She Would 'Turn Him In' If She Could, Urges Parents To 'Come Clean' In Shocking New Interview

Cassie Laundrie has certainly changed her tone.
Following outrage over discrepancies between comments she made last month and statements put out since by her parents' attorney, the sister of fugitive Brian Laundrie has decided to come forward in a formal setting to answer the tough questions her family has been avoiding.
As Breaking Celebrity News has covered extensively, all eyes are on 23-year-old Brian for the disappearance-turned-homicide of his 22-year-old fiancée, Gabby Petito, who never returned home from the couple's cross-country road trip.
Brian has been nowhere to be found since Sept. 14; Gabby's body was discovered five days later on Sept. 19. at a Wyoming state park the two visited while on their trek.
After informally addressing protestors outside her house in Florida Monday night, Cassie sat for an interview with ABC News, which aired Tuesday on Good Morning America, during which she explained that she was frustrated, grieving and as in the dark as the rest of us.
Most shockingly, she said she would turn Brian in if she could and urged her parents, Christopher and Roberta, to do the same.
"I do not know where Brian is. I'd turn him in," Cassie insisted, adding, "I really wish he had come to me first that day with the van because I don't think we'd be here."
While Cassie admits she's worried about Brian and hopes "he's OK," she's also "angry" and doesn't "know what to think."
If she could tell Brian one thing, it would be: "Come forward, and get us out of this horrible mess."
Despite previous reports claiming Cassie had allegedly said she had not seen or spoken to her brother since he returned home to North Port in Gabby's van on Sept. 1, she insists the last time she "physically saw" and "physically spoke to" Brian was on Sept. 6.
She said she joined her family "for a couple of hours" on their Fort De Soto Park camping trip, which county records show took place from Sept. 6 (Labor Day) to Sept. 8.
"We ate dinner and had s'mores around the campfire and left," Cassie said. "There was nothing peculiar about it. There was no feeling of grand goodbye. There was no nothing."
Cassie told the outlet she was "frustrated" that she didn't "pick up on anything. It was just a regular visit."
"I've tried to get in touch with [Brian]; phone went to voicemail," she explained, going on to provide a never-before-seen photo of her brother standing shirtless on a rock at what looked like a beach with her 5-year-old son. The picture, she said, was from those few hours she spent at the campsite.
