WILD CLAIMS
Brian Laundrie sleuths claim ‘his dad was spotted planting mystery notebook at Florida park’ where body and items found
INTERNET sleuths have claimed that Brian Laundrie's father Chris planted Brian's notebook at the reserve where the 24-year-old's body was found, claiming a photo shows him carrying it in a bag.
Officials have made no suggestion that Chris Laundrie has planted any evidence, but internet investigators have been trawling through pictures of the crime scene hoping to find clues about Brian's death.

A notebook belonging to Brian was found near to his partial remains at a Florida reserve last month.
One user on Twitter shared a photo of Chris carrying a plastic bag with a notebook-shaped object at the bottom of the bag, with the caption: "Notebook?"
"It's insane we are hearing nothing about this case anymore nothing about the notebook or anything it's like this never even happened," commented someone on the tweet.
Others are that Chris' finding of the bag was "convenient" given how officers reportedly took it away.
"Right where they left it," commented a person on that .
However, the photo they pulled was from the time Chris and his wife Roberta were seen leaving the Carlton Reserve after finding their son's belongings.

NOTEBOOK CONTAINED CLUES
The friend told The Sun in an exclusive interview that Laundrie's notebook could contain clues to solve the death of his girlfriend Gabby Petito, which a medical coroner determined was due to strangulation.
The friend alluded to Laundrie's notebook as showcasing an important look into Laundrie's private life and his potential last days with Petito.
"Hopefully his notebook can detail what it is we all want to know," the friend said.
But the friend was too exasperated to carry on, only asking a question everyone's minds.
"Why Brian? Why?”
CHRIS AND ROBERTA HELP FIND BRIAN'S BELONGINGS
The Laundries joined police in a search of Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, which is adjacent to Carlton Reserve, on Wednesday morning as they hunted for Brian who vanished on September 13.
The couple, who have been under fierce scrutiny, left their North Port home at 7.15am local time for the park, where two men in hiking gear began trailing them, according to a Fox News report.
Chris and Roberta were seen moving in and out of areas of the brush, before separating for roughly 12 minutes when Chris lead the two men into the brush on the left side of a trail.
He returned without the cops and the couple continued on. A video captured by Fox shows Chris wading through another patch of bushes while Roberta stands motionless in the middle of a trail, staring off in the opposite direction.
Their family attorney, Steven Bertolino, said when they found Brian's bags and remains, Chris didn't want to touch them.
"Chris didn't want to pick the bag up because he wanted law enforcement to see it," Bertolino said. "This was caught on camera.
"Chris couldn't find the law enforcement because they were then out of sight, because Chris had been in the woods, so he didn't want to leave the bag there with the news reporter standing nearby, so he picked it up."
Once he found the item, Bertolino insists that Chris informed authorities.
"They looked at the contents of the bag," the lawyer explained.
"At that time, law enforcement officers showed him a picture on the phone of a backpack that law enforcement had located also nearby, and also some distance off the trail."
The Laundries were then asked to leave the park as investigators continued combing the area.
"At that point, the Laundries were notified that there was also remains near the backpack and they were asked to leave the reserve."
NONSENSE TO BELIEVE EVIDENCE WAS PLANTED
The attorney called it “hogwash” to suggest the parents planted Brian’s possessions in the swamp, explaining that they were both being shadowed by reporters and police.
He said the area where the remains and belongings were found was the same location Chris and Roberta had told cops to search a month ago.
“Indeed, this is the very area of the park that we initially informed law enforcement, on I believe it was September 17th, that Brian would be most likely in the preserve,” Bertolino said.
