JP didn't drive across the state. He called the North Port police.As a father, This is a scenario that I can not believe. Maybe he never knocked on their door but there is no way that after driving across the state that I wouldn't at least drive by the house to see what I can see. So he could be telling a factual truth while also not telling the whole truth.
The only way I can see this not happening is if he and the Laundries already had a rocky relationship and didn't want to stir things up ahead of the cops. But that would mean he would already have had a reason to suspect there was something to be concerned about other than someone not returning phone calls. That would be much easily be accomplished by just knocking on the door instead of going to the police
Rick Stafford, the Petito family’s attorney, said that the records shouldn’t be read to indicate some kind of exchange between Laundrie and Joseph Petito that day.“From what I understand, on September 10 is when Joe Petito called the North Port, [Florida] police department to report his daughter missing,” Mr Stafford told The Independent. “That whole day he was in Vero Beach, which was on the other side of the state. ““He’s never even been to Brian Laundrie’s house, and he’s never been on the block,” Mr Stafford added. “If there is a report, when that report comes out, it’s going to be the missing persons report that was taken over the phone from Joe to the North Port police department.”
