“#Florida Hiker Has \u2018No Doubt\u2019 He Met Brian Laundrie On App<\/a>alachian Trail
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWas Brian Laundrie<\/strong> spotted alive and on the run on the Appalachian Trail<\/strong>? It sounds like it, at least according to a Florida hiker who swears he encountered the missing man over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Dennis Davis<\/strong> told The New York Post<\/em> he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail on Saturday morning when a man pulled up next to him on Waterville Road near the border of North Carolina and Tennessee to ask for directions to California using only back roads. The 53-year-old engineer explained that the man in the vehicle claimed he was \u201clost\u201d and fought with his girlfriend, so he was travel<\/a>ing to The Golden State to see her:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said \u2018man, I\u2019m lost.\u2019 I said \u2018what are you trying to find?\u2019 and he said \u2018me and my girlfriend got in a fight, but she called me, told me she loves me, and I have to get to California to see her. I said \u2018well, I-40 is right there and you could take it west to California\u2019 and he said, \u2018I\u2019m just going to take this road into California.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Davis also noted that the stranger \u201cwas worried and not making sense.\u201d Following the strange interaction, he whipped out his phone to look up images of the fugitive, and it was at that moment when Davis had \u201cno doubt\u201d he was chatting with Brian. He expressed to the publication:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt in my mind I spoke to Brian Laundrie \u2014 none whatsoever. Dog the Bounty Hunter<\/strong>\u2018s daughter sent me an audio file of Brian\u2019s voice and the voice was the same I heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It honestly wouldn\u2019t surprise us if Brian has been traveling in the Appalachians since Gabby Petito<\/strong>\u2018s friend previously revealed that he lived in the area before and \u2018skilled\u2019 at surviving in the wild.<\/p>\n

According to Davis, the \u201cwigged out\u201d 23-year-old was driving a white or light-colored pickup truck looking similar to a Ford F-150 and wearing a dark bandana. He allegedly called the FBI<\/strong> and 911 in North Carolina and Tennessee three times since the incident but has not received any response from the authorities. Davis explained to The New York Post <\/em>that he just wants to help Gabby\u2019s parents \u201cfind closure\u201d and knows his information can help:<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, as a father with a daughter, I want to do whatever I can to help the family find closure and get this guy off the streets. Law enforcement is probably getting millions of leads on this guy, but I am not some goofball out there doing drugs in the middle of the night; I am a highly educated professional. And I know that was the guy. There is no doubt about it. We have this lead, but no one\u2019s doing anything, not even a phone call.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As you know, police have been searching for Laundrie since his parents reported him missing on September 17 \u2014 just days before Petito\u2019s body was found in Wyoming. There is a warrant out for his arrest at this time for using an unauthorized bank card, and he has been named a person of interest in his fianc\u00e9e\u2019s disappearance. Over the past couple of days, authorities and Dog The Bounty Hunter have received several tips claiming Laundrie was hiding out on the Appalachian Trail. Meanwhile, his parents still believe their son is still somewhere in Florida.<\/p>\n

But as we\u2019ve said before, if they\u2019re saying that, it is probably wise to look somewhere else entirely! Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments (below).<\/p>\n
