“#Florida Sheriff On How Brian Laundrie ‘Probably’ Died
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nThe County Sheriff in the local Gulf Coast-area county of Florida where\u00a0Brian Laundrie<\/strong>\u2018s remains were found earlier this month is opening up a bit about the investigation into the young man\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Kurt Hoffman<\/strong>, who is the Sheriff of Sarasota County, Florida, outside Tampa, spoke publicly about the ongoing investigation during a panel discussion held by several local law enforcement leaders on Saturday.<\/p>\n

While answering questions from audience members at the panel discussion regarding local law enforcement issues in that part of Florida, Sheriff Hoffman was asked about the search for Laundrie, according to the\u00a0Sarasota Herald-Tribune<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to that report, Hoffman openly praised the work of North Port Police Department Chief\u00a0Todd Garrison<\/strong> throughout this entire ordeal. Of course, Garrison and his department have repeatedly come under fire for making significant mistakes when they were\u00a0first trying to track and observe Laundrie while investigating the prior death of his fianc\u00e9e,\u00a0Gabby Petito<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Regarding the North Port PD\u2019s work, as well as Laundrie\u2019s probable cause of death, Hoffman stated during the panel discussion (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked probably 20 times during that situation and obviously we supported them out in the preserve looking for Brian Laundrie. I told them: \u2018you guys [the North Port PD] were right.\u2019 That guy [Laundrie] went out there and by all accounts probably committed suicide and he was right out there where we thought he was. There was four feet of water out there at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hmm.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to say after the fact that Laundrie was \u201cright where we thought he was,\u201d but obviously he was NOT where they thought he was at first, which was still at home \u2014 after mistaking his mother for him.<\/p>\n

Hoffman did not offer any evidence behind his manner of death assertion. Let\u2019s hope these cops have more information about their investigation into Petito\u2019s death that they aren\u2019t releasing to the public or something \u2014 and aren\u2019t merely speculating\u2026<\/p>\n

Speaking of Garrison, he too was present at that very same panel discussion on Saturday, and he was clearly pretty touchy about the public\u2019s uniformly critical response of his department\u2019s work on the Petito-Laundrie case.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging how his team screwed up by mistaking Brian for his mother, as well as letting him out of their sights in the first place, Garrison mostly seemed to justify admitting these mistakes to the public:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a leader, what do I do? Do I not tell the public what\u2019s going on, do we conceal it, cover it up? No, people want open, transparency and honesty from their law enforcement officials. Yes, we made a mistake it was human error but I still stand behind my team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In fact, the North Port Police Chief wouldn\u2019t stop defending his team over that erroneous mis-identification.<\/p>\n

Later in the discussion, he added:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a 30-year [law enforcement] veteran doing surveillance, this is not uncommon and if any expert out there says it is, they\u2019re lying to you. I can tell you one thing, the amount of work that was done, behind the scenes, 24 hours a day, from our team and the FBI team working on the second floor of the police department, was phenomenal work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Such \u201cphenomenal work\u201d that his guys are now blaming Brian Laundrie\u2019s parents for why they couldn\u2019t do their jobs. Do we have that right???<\/p>\n

Reactions, Perezcious readers? What do U think of Sheriff Hoffman\u2019s assessment on Laundrie\u2019s \u201cprobable\u201d manner of death?<\/p>\n
