About an hour after law enforcement first arrived at the house, Entin reported that a third officer showed up at the residence and police took an evidence bag inside the home.

According to a video posted by WTVT reporter Evan Axelbank, authorities began searching a car on the Laundrie property around 7:35 p.m. local time.

Gabby Petito was reported missing on September 11, by her mother after she hadn't heard from Gabby since late August.

Petito disappeared during a cross-country road trip with Laundrie, who has been named a person of interest by law enforcement.

Brian Laundrie has not cooperated with authorities despite pleas from Petito's family to his parents, and his lawyer has indicated he does not plan to.
