North Port police said on Monday that their efforts to find Laundrie had shifted away from the reserve. "We currently believe we have exhausted all avenues in searching of the grounds there," North Port police said on Monday. Members of Petito's family reported her missing on Sept. 11, 10 days after Laundrie returned home to North Port without her. In the video, Petito is sobbing as she describes a quarrel with Laundrie that she says became physical at times. The officers did not detain the couple but insisted they spend that night separately, Petito in the van and Laundrie at a hotel.
