The search for Brian Laundrie continued Saturday in the Carlton Reserve in Florida and will last throughout the weekend.

It's now been one week since Laundrie was reported missing. A warrant was issued for Laundrie's arrest following the discovery of Gabby Petito’s body in Wyoming. Her death was ruled a homicide.

The indictment from a federal grand jury in Wyoming claims Laundrie made unauthorized withdrawals or charges, worth more than $1,000 from Aug. 30 to Sept. 1.

The engaged couple were taking their upgraded van across country to several national parks. The trip, which started on July 2, was documented on social media. Laundrie was named a “person of interest” after he returned from the trip without her.
