Yahoo Autos Where is Brian Laundrie? A private investigator says it would've been easy for him to flee the country.
Police say Brian Laundrie, the fiancé of Gabby Petito, has himself been missing since Tuesday.
Laundrie could've easily fled the US because people often wear masks, a private investigator said.
He said police were likely considering two scenarios: Laundrie is in hiding or will attempt suicide.
A private investigator told Insider it was possible that Brian Laundrie, the fiancé of the missing road tripper Gabby Petito who himself has been missing since Tuesday, could have fled the country.
Laundrie was named a person of interest in Petito's missing-person case after he returned from a cross-country road trip on September 1 without her. Remains consistent with the description of Petito were found over the weekend in Grand Teton National Park, according to the FBI.
Police have not charged Laundrie with a crime but say they have "exhausted all avenues" searching for him in Florida's Carlton Reserve.
Harvey Morse, a private investigator with Florida's Locaters International Inc., told Insider that it would be easy for Laundrie to evade detection by wearing a face mask.
Morse, who has more than 50 years of experience as a detective and private investigator, said it was harder than ever for police to identify missing persons because the coronavirus pandemic has made it common for people to wear face coverings in public.
"It would be easy for him to get on a plane," Morse said.
