A new development in the search for missing fugitive Brian Laundrie as items that reportedly belonged to the 23-year-old were found in the park where authorities have been searching for him.

Chris and Roberta Laundrie joined North Port Police and the FBI at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port, Florida on Wednesday morning to search for their son after articles were found that belonged to Brian, per the family's lawyer.

Fox News reported that in a video showing the Laundrie parents meeting with law enforcement, an officer can be heard saying "I think we might have found something."

The Laundries have maintained since the beginning of their son's disappearance that they last saw him on September 13 when he said he was going for a walk in Myakkahatchee Creek Park.
