Brian Laundrie cops admit they thought they saw him return home on spy cam – but it was his mom in a hat
POLICE saw Brian Laundrie leave his parents’ home through hidden surveillance cameras on September 13 but thought he returned, North Port police told the US Sun.
Turns out it was Brian’s mom in a baseball cap who came home that day.
“The situation was suspicious however and that’s why some limited surveillance was deployed,” police told the US Sun.
Human error was made amidst a chaotic scene that involved multiple law enforcement agencies and a crowded street lined with news crews and protestors, North Port police said.
“We thought we witnessed him return to the home on that Wednesday, and that’s why we thought we knew where is was at that time” North Port police told the US Sun on Monday.
“We now know, that was not the case. There was a lot of activity around the home and it made it difficult.”
Later in the day on Monday, police admitted they mistook Brian’s mom in a baseball cap for Brian, which allowed Brian to vanish.

One of the cameras was disguised as a trash can on a neighbor’s property, a neighbor told the US Sun last week.
On Monday, North Port police confirmed that there were multiple hidden cameras set up around the Laundries’ home on September 11 because “the family was uncooperative and evoked their right not to speak.”
