Chris Laundrie accompanied law enforcement into the Carlton Reserve for the first time this week to look for his son, which former FBI special agent Ken Gray said reflects the bureau's strategy to base their search on specific targeted intelligence.
Local law enforcement spent weeks searching the reserve by land, sea and air, but the FBI took over the manhunt last week. Now, instead of doing large sweeps of the area, the FBI will likely target their search based on specific pieces of intelligence, Gray said.
Part of that targeted approach was on display Thursday when Brian Laundrie's father, Chris, went with members of law enforcement"into the Reserve to show them the trails and places Chris and Brian have hiked and which Brian was known to frequent," according to the family's attorney, Steven Bertolino.
"There were no discoveries but the effort was helpful to all," Bertolino said."It seems the water in the [reserve] is receding and certain areas are more accessible to search." A trail sign at Clingmans Dome, a major scenic viewing point along the Appalachian Trail, is viewed on May 11, 2018 near Cherokee, North Carolina.
