Original story below:
The search in Florida for Brian Laundrie was called off late last night, but
investigators are expected to be back later this morning to search a vast
wildlife preserve in Sarasota County.
Laundrie,
who met Gabby at Blue Point Bayport High School, is a "person of
interest" in her disappearance.
Laundrie
was the last person known to have been with her before she went missing,
according to the authorities.
Laundrie's parents reported
to police that they had not seen him since Sept. 14, several days after he
refused to speak with investigators about
Gabby’s whereabouts.
North Port police, the FBI,
and several other agencies have been scouring the creek searching for Laundrie
for days.
