    NewsNation’s Brian Entin breaks down the 20-minute video of Cassie.
    Also, Lois Gibson, one of the world’s best forensic artists, shares six new portraits she created of what Laundrie might look like now.

  • Trolls defend Brian Laundrie; sister's timeline under question
    Two-and-a-half weeks after Brian Laundrie supposedly set off into the Florida swamp, the pressure isn’t letting up to track him down.
    But manhunt or not, the fugitive has his cheerleaders and the insults and attacks on Gabby Petito are as close as your laptop.
    It was a month ago Friday that Brian Laundrie showed up back in Florida without his fiancée and cross-country travel mate. And in that time, the disappearance and death of Gabby Petito — and the manhunt for Brian — have mesmerized the nation and a few other nations.
    Overwhelmingly, that attention has been supportive, sympathetic, loving toward Petito and her grieving family — and much less so toward the Laundries.
    However, supporters of Brian Laundrie have set up camp for themselves on Reddit, Twitter and Facebook.
    Kris Mohandie, a forensic psychologist, joins “Banfield” to discuss these online communities.
    Also, Laundrie’s sister, Cassie Laundrie, saw her brother in the days following his return to Florida without Petito, despite her previous comments.
    Cassie Laundrie said last month she had not spoken to her brother since he returned to Florida without Petito on Sept. 1.
    “I haven’t been able to talk to him,” Laundrie told ABC News last month. “I wish I could talk to him.”
    However, NewsNationNow.com reporter Brian Entin exclusively confirmed that Cassie Laundrie was at the Fort De Soto campground at the same time as the rest of the family in early September.
    Entin joins “Banfield” for the latest on Cassie and Brian Laundrie.

  • Gabby Petito describes fight with Brian Laundrie in new video; Murdaugh update
    New police body camera video shows a different angle from the domestic dispute in Utah between Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito that has been so heavily scrutinized. For the first time, the public is hearing Gabby herself describe being grabbed by Laundrie.
    The FBI was back at the Laundrie home in home Florida on Thursday. According to the federal agency, however, they were only there to look for personal items they can use to track Brian down.
    NewsNation’s Brian Entin joins “Banfield” with the latest from outside the Laundrie family home.
    Also, Lois Gibson, one of the world’s best forensic artists, speculates on what Laundrie might look like now.
    Lastly, if you know who killed Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, time is running out to cash in. Thursday night is the deadline for information that could earn you $100,000.

  • Mystery around Brian Laundrie's phone; the search for Daniel Robinson
    There is now confirmation Brian Laundrie bought a new phone on the very day he disappeared following the death of Gabby Petito.
    The FBI has been trying to talk with Laundrie for more than two weeks.
    “To my knowledge, they did purchase a new phone and it’s the same phone that Brian left home and which the FBI is in possession of,” said Steven Bertolino, the Laundrie family’s attorney.
    Five days ago, the Laundrie family said Brian had left behind his wallet and cellphone at the family home when he disappeared Sept. 14. But at the time they didn’t say it was a phone Brian had just purchased on that very day.
    NewsNation reporter Brian Entin brings a live report from outside the Laundrie home.
    Also on the show, the coroner is still actively working with Petito’s remains. Joseph Scott Morgan, a certified death investigator, joins “Banfield” to explain what could be next.
    While the story of Gabby Petito and the search for Brian Laundrie has dominated national headlines, another family is searching for a missing loved one.
    Geologist Daniel Robinson, 24, had been missing for two months before Petito’s name became known across the country.
    Robinson was last seen June 23. His Jeep Renegade was discovered overturned in a desert ravine almost a month after he disappeared. His clothes, keys and wallet were still inside, but Daniel was nowhere to be found. However, the Jeep may not have crashed where it was found.
    A private investigator says the airbags deployed 11 miles beforehand and that someone tried to restart the Jeep more than 40 times. That investigator also says the damage to the vehicle doesn’t match the terrain at the rollover site.
    Daniel’s Mother, Melissa Edmonds and Daniel’s father David Robinson join “Banfield” on the frantic search for their son.
    Lastly, The Daily Mail is reporting former news anchor Katie Couric gave Ashleigh Banfield the cold shoulder early in her career because helping her would have been “self-sabotage.” Ashleigh delivers her response to those alleged comments.
