A Long Island family is back together again after a Thanksgiving Grinch tried to ruin the holiday weekend. A Huntington couple spent the day after Thanksgiving frantically searching for their French Bulldog who was swiped Thursday night when a burglar broke into their home, stealing 4-year-old Stella and a PlayStation 5. Instead of snagging doorbuster deals or filling up on…

A pool of cold air in the middle levels of the atmosphere, an incredibly strong jet stream level disturbance, changing wind direction with height and the overturning of unseasonably warm air as a cold front approached with a shot of more typical November chill all combined for a setup that delivered about as many tornadoes in one small geographic area…

There’s one reason police made a mistake early in their Brian Laundrie investigation, an official says — and it had nothing to do with them.

With Brian Laundrie’s autopsy report inconclusive, and the DNA match to Gabby Petito’s body unclear, many wonder if the notebook found near his remains could contain a suicide note that may hold the answers.

Dental records confirm that the human remains recovered at the Florida environmental park are of Brian Laundrie, the FBI said on Thursday.

How long does it take a body to decompose? That’s one question people are asking as we learn more about the findings in Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.

It is “highly probable” that the human remains found inside a Florida nature preserve on Wednesday are those of Brian Laundrie, given they were discovered near the 23-year-old’s backpack and hiking gear, the family’s attorney says, but the missing man’s parents will await forensic confirmation before they speak further.

The FBI field office in Tampa is holding a news conference after a senior law enforcement official said partial human remains appear to have been found near a backpack in connection with the ongoing search for Brian Laundrie.

Law enforcement confirmed on Thursday that partial remains found the previous day at the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port, Fla., belong to missing 23-year-old Brian Laundrie.

Human remains appear to have been found near a backpack at the Brian Laundrie search site, a senior law enforcement official confirms.

Gabby Petito’s death was ruled a homicide by the Teton County coroner, but the all-important questions of how — and when — she died weren’t known until now.

Officials thus far have determined that the 23-year-old’s death was a homicide, but how exactly she died remains a question.

The Laundrie family attorney said that Brian’s father, Chris, was asked to assist law enforcement in their search of the preserve on Wednesday, but was unable to do so.

Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman has handed authorities evidence he believes may be linked to the disappearance of Gabby Petito’s fiancé Brian Laundrie, who is the FBI’s prime person of interest in her case and who went off the grid himself more than three weeks ago, a spokesperson said Tuesday.

Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito’s fiance, vanished nearly three weeks ago, on Sept. 14, after allegedly telling his parents he was going for a hike in a sprawling Florida nature reserve.

Gabby Petito’s loved ones joined Twitter over the weekend to share emotional messages and sentimental photos of the 22-year-old, including a specific callout to Brian Laundrie to turn himself in. Petito’s father had already been a steady presence on the social media platform since his daughter’s disappearance. On Saturday, Gabby Petito’s mother, step parents and grandmother posted their first...

Police in Moab, Utah, on Thursday released new body camera footage of a stop involving Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie in the days before the 22-year-old Long Island native went missing in Wyoming, further providing insight into the relationship between the engaged couple.

It has been 16 days since Gabby Petito’s fiancé, Brian Laundrie, allegedly told his parents he was going for a hike in a sprawling Florida nature preserve. He hasn’t been seen since, despite scores of law enforcement searching the unforgivable terrain in what has become an all-out manhunt for the FBI’s prime person of interest in Petito’s disappearance. Why?...

The FBI now has a phone that Brian Laundrie purchased days before he went to Fort De Soto Park for an overnight camping trip with his family. They also have surveillance video of the campgrounds.
