Brian Laundrie's parents were there when human remains were found by his belongings, but they weren't ready for confirmation that their son was dead.
The moment two law enforcement officers showed up at their North Port, Florida, home on Thursday to deliver the devastating news was caught on tape.
In the footage caught by WFLA News reporter J.B. Biunno, two plain-clothed officers are seen walking up to Christopher and Roberta Laundrie's house.
They knock once and wait a few seconds before knocking again.
From J.B.'s angle, it's hard to see who answered the door, but photos on Daily Mail show it was Brian's father.
Wearing his baseball cap and plain t-shirt, Christopher looked shocked when he answered the door to find the agents standing there. His mouth dropped to the ground and his eyes widened before letting them inside.
It is not clear exactly what they said at the moment before entering the house that warranted Christopher's reaction. According to News Nation Now reporter Brian Entin, the police detectives "were inside for 2 minutes or less. Then they walked out and left."
