Manhunt continues for boyfriend of slain Youtuber Gabby Petito

Search crews will resume the manhunt for Brian Laundrie in Florida wetlands this weekend following the death of his fiancée Gabby Petito. Meanwhile, Petito's family is preparing for her funeral set for Sunday.

The search in the 24,000-acre Carlton Reserve, a wilderness park in Sarasota County, comes after the FBI issued a federal arrest warrant Thursday over events that occurred following Petito's death.

"We will be back out throughout the weekend. Focusing on areas of more likelihood across the Reserve," the North Port Police Department said in a social media post Friday.

Laundrie's parents told investigators he went camping in the park on Sept. 14 after returning home from a cross-country trip to national parks without Petito on Sept. 1.

The search for Laundrie, who has been missing for more than a week, turned into a manhunt Thursday after a grand jury indicted him for alleged unauthorized use of a Capital One debit card and several accounts. The documents say he spent more than $1,000 but did not state who the cards or accounts belonged to.

The indictment released Thursday by the U.S. District of Wyoming also charges Laundrie with unauthorized access of a device and says he used the bank accounts without permission from about Aug. 30 through Sept. 1.

Laundrie is considered a person of interested in Petito's homicide but has not been charged.

I reckon his parents know what happened and gave him money to hide.
