The human remains found in a Florida reserve in the search for Brian Laundrie were bones, including part of a human skull, and may take days to be identified.
(snip) law enforcement sources who said the remains included a partial human skull. It is unclear how long they have been in the area, but they may take days to identify.
(Snip) the search in the area around the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park continues.
Cadaver dogs are combing through the preserve and drones are scanning overhead for more traces of Laundrie, who vanished on September 13. (snip)The lawyer representing the couple has denied speculation that they may have planted the evidence.

I’m no forensic scientist but would there only be bones left after this short of time? It’s not even been 2 months since he went missing.

Re the parents' planting stuff. Plausible as it would either shut down the search or considerably delay it if it were to be paused while bones were identified. My bet is that there are no teeth in that partial skull, which seriously hampers ID.
FTA: Lawyer Bertolino is running scared:
On Wednesday night, Laundrie family lawyer Steven Bertolino told CNN's Chris Cuomo that it is 'hogwash'. He also revealed that he told the parents not to speak to the media or Gabby's family, which they have been admonished for, and said the pair are 'heartbroken'.
'In nice terms, it's hogwash,' he told Cuomo when asked about the suggestion that they may have planted the evidence.
'Chris and Roberta went to this area first and as happenstance was, they stumbled upon these items,' he said. On Thursday morning, he added to DailyMail.com: 'Speculation is just that.'
The search of the park continued on Thursday with cadaver dogs, dune buggies and police cars, but authorities are being tight-lipped on what exactly they have found so far, and what they continue to seach for.
What's that old thing about "he protesteth too much"?
Interesting aerial photo marked up to show locations. The site of yesterday's "finds" is very close to the entrance and the area where Brian supposedly parked Mom's car.

Hit submit too soon.
One aerial photo/map shows that “remains find” only 4 miles from the Laundrie home. If he camped there, supporting him would have been pretty easy.

My guess is that he wound up being gator food. It would explain the lack of anything but bones.

With a "partial skull" among the remains and weeks of forensic work ahead to make certain identification, the police have nevertheless informed the Laundries that the remains are their son's. I feel certain the police are correct.
A less hospitable place could scarcely be imagined. Lee County Sheriff Carmen Marceno stated, "'Today I got to see the treacherous conditions they were working under. We're talking about water levels up to the chest area, rattle snakes, moccasins, alligators...These are very, very difficult conditions...you're searching in areas where you can't just walk up and look. It's not like you're searching a house or a car. These areas are huge and they are covered by water.' " A body would be difficult to find in such a place. A lot remains to be written about this tragedy, but I think we know the basic facts. There was nowhere for him to run.

Did Brian dump a previous victim there and then drop backpack and notebook to distract? Skeletal....if under water, I guess crabs and fish could strip it pretty fast.

I wonder if it's possible to determine cause of death. They can assume suicide but it's possible someone else wanted him dead. Someone who knew where he was hiding.

#1 I was thinking the same thing. After such a short time I find it hard to believe there would only be skeletal remains left. However, since this is a swamp with alligators and other critters, it's not beyond the possibility that the body was consumed to a certain extent. It was said that the identity was proven by dental records.

It's too soon for there to be bones of him...unless he was eaten by a croc..and then there would probably not be anything as they usually drag the victims into their underwater caves...too convenient...as others have said, he's probably hiding out somewhere waiting for the heat to die down...

I have my doubts. Dental records have been manipulated before.

The "MEAL KIT" label on the FedEx package Laundrie's parents shipped is just too conspicuous to be credible. My money is on entirely different contents of some kind - probably something they wanted to get rid of.
When you act as callously as this family has done, people are going to be suspicious of everything you do.

Good…they are continuing the search. This little drama may have been just too cute. The parents contacting FBI/LE; “meet us at the park tomorrow”. The parents heading straight for the place where his things were found. And then! Bones!!! How hard to prolong Brian’s running room by coming up with a homeless person and dumping them in the park? How difficult for the parents to plant the personal stuff? Clear that these things have crossed others’ minds.
