BREAKING: TikToker who picked up hitch-hiking Brian Laundrie reveals 'red flag'
Published at : November 04, 2021
A TIKTOKER who says she picked up Brian Laundrie as he hiked alone has told of the "red flag" she spotted during the journey.
Miranda Baker, a Wisconsin-based TikTok user, says she and her boyfriend were approached by Laundrie for a ride at Grand Teton National Park in Colter Bay, Wyoming.
Laundrie, 23, allegedly offered the pair $200 for a lift to Jackson Hole on August 29, which would have only been around a 10 mile journey.
Baker says that despite claiming to have been hiking for several days, Laundrie was noticeably clean.
She told ABC : "He was really clean for someone who had been hiking for multiple days.
"That did strike me as weird and especially as his backpack, it wasn't full - it was empty.
"He said he and his fiancee were camping at a campsite near Snake River."
The Tiktoker says as Laundrie described his situation, she noticed a "red flag".
"The biggest red flag is why would you go camping for multiple days alone with just a backpack and leave your fiancee in your van," Baker added.
"It just doesn't make sense."
Baker says Laundrie was in the car for 15 minutes before he demanded to get out.
"I had brought up why are you going to Jackson Hole - and once I said Jackson Hole, that's when the energy shifted," she added.
Laundrie got out of the car and "disappeared", and a few weeks later FBI detectives unearthed Gabby's body on September 19 and a preliminary autopsy ruled that her manner of death was a homicide.
Wyoming coroners have revealed that the vlogger died from strangulation.
Laundrie was reported missing by his parents on September 17 – weeks after returning to Florida alone without Gabby.
He allegedly told them that he was going for a hike in the 25,000-acre alligator-infested Carlton Reserve in Sarasota.
A manhunt was launched , and cops endlessly scoured the Florida wilderness.
The search for Laundrie came to an end on October 21 after cops positively identified remains found at the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.
A cause of death has not been determined as a preliminary autopsy came back inconclusive. Laundrie's remains have been sent to an anthropologist for further tests.

Meanwhile, a manager has claimed Gabby and Laundrie left a restaurant without paying before being followed by a server on the night she was last seen alive.
The YouTuber and Laundrie visited the Merry Piglets restaurant in Jackson, Wyoming on August 27 – just weeks before Gabby’s remains were found in a campground.
An unnamed restaurant manage reportedly told NewsNationNow’s Brian Entin claimed the couple left the café without paying.
A server then followed Gabby and Laundrie outside and the young couple paid the bill on the street.
It's also been reported Laundrie displayed numerous red flags in his relationship with Gabby - which surfaced as the couple traveled cross-country together.
One of the last times Gabby was seen alive involved a row with Laundrie at a Wyoming restaurant called Merry Piglets.
Dr Ann Wolbert Burgess, who pioneered the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, told Fox News the argument between fugitive Laundrie and Petito that witnesses observed at a Wyoming restaurant on August 27 may be the key to Petito's tragic fate.
She said: "How she has to apologize for his behavior is something that's kind of characteristic, and this probably enrages him even more because he wants to appear in a certain way.”
