Brian Laundrie sleuths say he was pictured alive this month in wild legal letter as parents bid for access to his $20k
BRIAN Laundrie sleuths claim that he was seen in a photo running this month in a wild letter as his parents attempt to access his estate.
The email was part of court filings in Laundrie's estate case, in which his parents are trying to collect $20,000 from his bank account.
In the note, which included extremely grainy images, the unknown sender alleges that Laundrie is alive and is being helped by a friend and family member, though the sender did not accuse his parents, Roberta and Christopher Laundrie.
"Brian Laundrie is still alive," a copy of the email obtained by The Sun says.
"...[A] photo of Brian Christopher Laundrie running down from the street caught on CCTV on December 3, 2021 is attached," the email continues.
The wild note concludes by stating: "So, I don't think you should not grant a cremate for Brian Christopher Laundrie, who is the son of Roberta and Christopher Laundrie."
The court document notes that "no further action" was taken by the court after receiving the email.
Laundrie's remains were discovered in late October after a man hunt that went on for over a month after he was named a person of interest in his fiance Gabby Petito's disappearance, and later, her death.

The Circuit Court of the 12th Judicial Circuit in and for Sarasota, Florida, did not immediately return The Sun's request for comment regarding the outlandish claims made in the email.
The email was part of court filings in Laundrie's estate case.
Chris and Roberta Laundrie filed a petition on December 8 to gain access to their son's estate.
The couple are asking to become administrators of the estate.
The records show they submitted Laundrie's death certificate in court along with information about his bank accounts and property.
Court records showed Laundrie had $20,000 in his bank account when he died, even though he allegedly spent $1,000 on Gabby's credit card after her death.
PETITO'S FAMILY FILES CLAIM
Gabby Petito's mother has also filed a claim to get her murdered daughter's belongings back from the Laundrie home.
Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino confirmed to The US Sun on Tuesday the family will not contest her mom, Nichole Schmidt's, claim.
"This is a mere formality. Mrs. Schmidt is seeking Gabby's possessions," Bertolino said.
According to the lawyer, Nichole is requesting to recover all of 23-year-old Gabby's belongings from the Laundrie home in North Port.
"Arrangements will be made, and they will be given to Gabby's family without contest," Bertolino told The US Sun.
On Tuesday, court records showed Gabby's mom filed a statement in Sarasota County, Florida, regarding Laundrie's estate battle.
The text of the claim doesn't refer to specific articles of Gabby's, so it's not known which of her belongings may be included in the suit.
"The basis for the claim is possession or control of personal property of Gabby Petito," the claim reads.

"The amount of the claim is unknown and is both now due and will become due on the release of personal property."
A local Florida estate attorney listed in court records for the petition, William Galarza, did not respond to a request for comment from The Sun.
