to bring in now the public-information officer for the north port police in florida and that is josh taylorate it. so, you have new information tonight. what can you tell us? >> right. so, you know, all week, we've been asking brian's family for information, for brian for information. and now, this evening, we were called by his family who now informs us and -- and says that they have not seen brian since tuesday, and don't know where he is and are filing their own missing-person report. >> okay. so, that -- was that the reason they wanted to speak to you? because before when we spoke to your chief last night, he said that, you know, the family hadn't spoken. the attorney -- um -- you know, that they were communicating through an attorney but nothing from the family. so was that the reason that they were available tonight is because they wanted to report him missing? >> that's correct. this is our first in-depth conversation with the -- with the family at all. >> okay. um, can you tell us anything about the circumstances of the last time the family saw him? >> they just said that -- that he

josh taylor is the spokesperson for the north port florida police department. >> he was back in this community for ten days before she was reported missing. that's a lot of time for somebody to get their act together. we certainly think brian has some explaining to do. >> reporter: at one point more than 50 agents searched for him in this nature preserve near the house where he lived with petito. cbs news spoke with her closest rose davis who told us the couple had issues. >> every relationship has the bumps. i would never have thought this could happen. >> reporter: davis pleaded for any information about her best friend and told us she thinks laundrie has to know something. >> i wanted to text him and be like please, please give me something. >> reporter: davis says petito always had a way of putting a smile on davis' face. >> she'll do everything to bring the light out in you. if she can't, she'll give you some of hers. >> reporter: the attorney for laundrie family called the news heart breaking saying they are praying for gabby petito's family. >> before brian laundrie disappeare

. >>> joining us now to discuss, josh taylor, he's the public information officer for the north portas we have heard from the laundrie family's attorney, we do not expect to hear from ryan laundrie as athena pointed out there. it's his fifth amendment right not to talk. but in a recent statement, the family was staying in the background. his sister, though, as you heard on "good morning america," said she had spoken to police. is the family being cooperative at this point? she may have spoe but i would not consider the family being entirely cooperative. this starts saturday with us showing up at the door and we're essentially handed a piece of paper with their attorney's contact information. that is been the extent of our conversation with brian's parents. we have never spoken a word with brian. >> and in terms of his sister who spoke to police, did she come to the police or did you go to her? >> i'll been honest with you, ma'am, that is news to me. so i'll have to confirm that this morning on who actually spoke with her. i can't actually confirm with you that she has spoken to the p

joining us now is pio, public information officer, for the north port, florida, police, josh taylor.ng, chris. >> so, let's begin at the beginning for these latest events. the laundrie family asked police to come to the home. is that accurate? >> that is accurate. yes, sir. >> why? >> so, they called us there this evening. you know, once we've gotten there, they are now claiming that they have not seen their son since tuesday. >> is that why they asked you to come? that was what they wanted you to know? >> yes, sir. >> what were the circumstances surrounding their understanding of where he had gone? and why they had waited three days? you know, how do they explain it? >> i think some of that is -- this is -- chris, literally, these -- our detectives are at that house less than 45 minutes ago, they left there. some of this, we are still trying to figure out. you know, we have been trying all week to talk to the -- his family. to talk to brian. and now, they've -- they're called us here on friday. we -- we've gone to the home and they are saying that they -- now, they have not seen the

thank you so much, josh taylor, for being with us. to turn and get a check of the weather, rob marciano, we were talking about the flooding but also the fire danger, still a major issue out west. >> yeah, you know it too well in california, whit. this is the sequoia fire where they have those huge sequoia trees which typically actually like fire, they need fire but the fires are burning so hot with climate change, that they are in danger. we lost a number of them a couple of years ago and taking the steps of wrapping one at least the biggest one with this aluminum foil type of stuff and hopefully will survive. red flag warnings across parts of california, across eight states. there was a new fire burning north of los angeles and wind gusts 40 to 60 miles an hour and humidity levels down to 6%. there is a little bit of rain coming to the northwest, but the extreme drought is still the problem across parts of california. 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 inches of rain seattle to portland. more like october than september but it's only staying for the n

it is josh taylor. information officer. >> that is josh taylor. he is the p.i.o.th an update on things. i thought what was most significantly was the fact that they receive more than the thousand tips here from people who have seen some think i heard some think might something. and brian laundrie did not travel thousands of miles with a single tank of gas. >> jacqui: he made good points about retracing steps. i have to wonder at one point we start getting updates from the fbi given that they have joined in the case and ex post in wyoming. they joined in the denver at various places along this route. at one point back -- but point does this start getting communicated through a federal channel? >> john: the asked if they were retracing herself on. he said, we don't have results on. which we know because this open is with her or somewhere else. but the fact that he did not answer whether they are tracing back her cell phone via gps work the towers or whatever, maybe an indication that they are retracing her steps electronically. also the fact that kassie project who

i want to play something from josh taylor, northport police department spokesperson, about not trackingan. >> he would not speak with us. knowing that, we weren't dedicating a whole lot of resources to following around someone who's not wanted on a crime. >> shannon: andell, what do you make of that? >> it's a tough situation. you have a small town police department with limited resources. they are trying to investigate this murder. there are leads all across the country and i guess they thought it was in the best use of their resources but it's mind-boggling because really we only have one suspect. that's brian laundrie. he was the last person that was seen with her. he's acting in ways that as brian said and you agreed are strange. what normal person acts that way? every resource should have been dedicated to figuring out what brian laundrie was up to, where he's going and where he is now. i think there are way more questions than answers and his behavior has done nothing but put him squarely in the crosshairs a law enforcement. >> shannon: you mention this is a smaller police force.

let me play this, josh taylor. rtment where apparently brian laundrie in the van are. here's what josh says. >> there are things that we know in this investigation that we are trying not to release. i know you're doing your best to get some of that info. we really think for the integrity of the investigation that it's important that we not release everything we know when we know it. >> shannon: randy, how does this work? >> he's being very forthright in saying they are not going to release everything they know. there is a lot of complications. there are so many jurisdictions that are involved in this. you have numerous states, a vast amount of territory. there are, they are so suspicious circumstances here. the fact that they named the boyfriend a person of interest, that's very, very significant in this case. there's a lot of investigation to be done here. forensic investigation. it's my understanding that the van has been searched or is being searched for forensic evidence, very critical to this. you have technolo

you have josh taylor, the spokesman for north port, the city's police department is the lead investigator on the case. he came out and straight up said that it is sort of frustrating while they attempt to get into this investigation their they have to deal with media attention and people in the community protesting sort of gerting in the face of police and sort of being outside the family home for -- and sort of questioning their every move while they try to get into the details of the case. >> just last question to you. what do we know about the body cam footage of these two evenings of gabby and her boyfriend and when they were talked to by police? >> there was a couple who said that -- are you speaking of the couple saying they picked up mr. laundrie august 25th? from the police? so there was a situation where police responded to a possible domestic incident between the couple, and authorities pointed out that he actually had some marks on his face that appeared to indicate that she had struck him somehow. they didn't act on it. they didn't arrest anyone. or even really detain them for

petito we have not been able to get too much detail on what's happening so good enough to join us is josh taylor, florida, police admission officer. i know you have been wanting to speak to the family. tell us what led to this evening. >> right, this evening we received a phone call to go to the residence and speak to the family what i can tell you is we're speaking with the family currently. we are not speaking to brian, to my knowledge but all of this is happening as we speak. >> so they called you. is brian there >> i don't have that information. i do not believe that he is there. >> and there were a number of different thoughts about why they might have called i know there might have been a lot of activity in the neighborhood, or was this some degree of cooperation. what would you call it >> again, it's kind of hard for me to categorize it since it's currently happening as we speak. and it is obviously important for us to speak to the family but that's kind of the second half of this hopefully they'll help us get to gabby. our focus is on, obviously, bringing her home and the search that's g

furthermore this police spokesman in florida josh taylor, i he is saying like guys like me are full ofin the last 15 years i have gift wrapped missing person cases rape cases custodial interference cases gang bangers. my question to you, how many policing and exploited people have you found. i want to say one more thing the national center for missing and exploited children was founded by john walsh. do you know why that happened? because the police botched the adam walsh investigation. and that's really what's happened here as far as i can tell. steve: let's find out today from the autopsy as best they can tell up in wyoming what happened to gabby petino if that is hers. thank you for joining us. a lot of things we haven't thought about until you came along. >> pleasure to be with you, sir. steve: all right. it is 0 minutes before the top of the hour on tuesday. still ahead dhs secretary mayorkas urging migrants not to come to the united states. he said that before. but, texas congressman tony gonzales the administration policies got us into the mess on the southern border. you will h

now, when asked why the laundries waited so long, spokesman josh taylor had this to say. >> that's ave had any in depth conversation with them was yesterday. their attorney called and said the family is concerned about brian's whereabouts. >> reporter: police also have some of brian's clothes for k-9s to get a sense, but they're going to have a heck of a time finding him. this is a vast expanse, that 25,000 acres, and on top of that, it's filled with alligators. meanwhile, the search for gabby is now officially in its second week. the fbi, in coordination with the national park service, teton county sheriff's office and jackson police are conducting ground surveys at the spread creek camping area in grand teton which is now closed to the public. they are also asking anyone who may have seen the couple between august 27 and the 30th to contact the fbi. they're kind of honing in on that time frame. also of note, a woman posted a video on tiktok claiming she picked up laundrie in grand teton national park on august 29th. she says he suddenly becamage anticipated and got out --age antici

to ted cruz, josh holly, matt gates, taylor greene so let me talk a little bitabout those epistles . >> i just think it's important in life just to call it like you see it. nobody has a perfect view of truth but there is a thing called truth out there. and it has become so elastic in the world of politics of late that it's incredibly disturbing and i think upsetting for a lot of relatives folks out there who are going about their lives and hoping the process is indeed watching out for them. so you take the example of jim jordan. this is a group in the freedom caucus of which i was a part initially who was very much opposed to trunk. but then they completely with the exception of justin amash who's out of congress flipped and became absolutely subservient to him. that's not a little bit of rotation on an issue based on new information or based on input from voters. it is just raw, crass pandering. and i thought it was particularly disturbing with people like meadows or jordan or mulvaney from my homestate . i remember mulvaney talking about love, if it takes shutting down the governme

josh. good to see you. >>> still to come, gop congresswoman marjorie taylor greene definitely using some fighting words on the steps of capitol hill. we're going to show you the viral video of her heckling democratic lawmakers, and we'll speak to the congresswoman who stood up to her while the cameras were rolling. >>> this was drama. just as vice president kamala harris was about to walk on set for an in-person interview, two of "the view's" hoeftss h hosts had to walk off. >>> and before we head to break, we take a live look in germany. there's a huge election taking place in a matter of hours. voters will decide who will replace longtime angela merkel who's rallying right now with one of the candidates. we'll have a live report from germany coming up later this hour. e report from germany coming up later this hour ♪♪ (calls dog) buttercup...
