Same-sex couple Kylen Schulte, 24, and Crystal Turner, 38, who lived in a van, were reported missing and later found shot dead at a campsite near Moab, not long after Gabby and her boyfriend were stopped by the police there.
Investigators have said the double homicide was not connected to Gabby Petito’s killing.
But Mr Jensen, who has 25 years as a private investigator, told News Nation Now: "Until we can prove that he was out of the area.
"He has to be considered until he is adequately ruled out."
He also pointed out that it was unclear where Laundrie was from August 14, when the couple were last seen, until August 18, when their bodies were found.

Online sleuths have claimed that a set of keys was found near Turner and Schulte's bodies with a membership card for a rock climbing gym attached.
On Laundrie's Instagram, he once shared an image of him helping a child at a rock climbing gym, where some claim he might have once worked.
Just days before, the couple had told friends that they were moving to another site because there was a "weirdo camping near them that was freaking them out".
A spokesman for the sheriff's office revealed that investigators don't believe that their deaths were the result of a murder-suicide and are treating it as a homicide investigation.
Sheriff Steven White told KUTV: "We do think it was an outside party.
"There has not been any firearms recovered from that area at this time."
