According to News Nation’s Brian Entin, Gabby’s parents, Joe and Nichole, met with the FBI in Tampa on Thursday; however, the reason for the meeting remains unknown.
On December 8, Chris and Roberta Laundrie filed a petition in Sarasota County court to be granted access to their son’s belongings, which includes two bank accounts containing $20,000, according to the filing.
However, Bertolino said the Laundries would not be given the notebook.
“The petition is simply to administer his estate, which is primarily the bank account,” Bertolino told Fox News.
“The return of property by law enforcement is separate.”
