NORTH PORT, Fla. — North Port police detectives spent two and a half hours inside Brian Laundrie's family home Friday night.

The home is where his fiancé, Gabrielle Petito, also lives, but she went missing after a cross country road trip with him.
Meanwhile, Laundrie's attorney, Steven Bertolino, released a statement after 10 p.m. Friday saying that his client's whereabouts weren't known.
"Be advised that the whereabouts of Brian Laundrie are currently unknown," the statement said. "The FBI is currently at the Laundrie residence removing property to assist in locating Brian. As of now the FBI is looking for both Gabby and Brian. Brian was last seen by his parents on Tuesday morning."
Cell phone video captured an unmarked minivan pull into the Laundrie family driveway a few minutes after 6 p.m.
Three detectives got out of that minivan and entered the home.
About an hour later, two detectives came out of the home and went through a car parked in the driveway before returning. Officers were seen bringing brown evidence bags into the home.
Police say Brian was not inside the home Friday night, and police are not actively looking for him.
The North Port Police chief said the conversation at the Laundrie family home was complete and they'll make a statement after they review the interview.
Laundrie has been named a person of interest in Gabby's disappearance.
The young couple spent a few months traveling the country. Gabby was last seen on August 30 in Wyoming.
Brian returned home alone to North Port a couple of days later and has refused to cooperate with police about her disappearance.
A lot of protesters and residents showed their support for Gabby outside the home during the police interview.
There was also a candlelight vigil held for gabby Friday night at North Port City Hall. More than 50 people showed up for that vigil.
The case has captured national attention, with both local and national media filling the street Friday.
The case is also drawing out many residents who had bullhorns, signs and stayed Friday until police left.
