A coroner and cadaver dog were called to a Florida park Wednesday where several items belonging to Brian Laundrie were found, CNN reported.

The Sarasota County Medical Examiner was called to the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park area Wednesday morning where Laundrie’s parents, Chris and Roberta, told FBI and North Port Police Department Tuesday they would help search for him at the park, according to CNN.

Authorities and the Laundrie’s searched a trail that Laundrie frequented, with authorities finding “some articles” believed to belong to him, CNN reported, citing family attorney Steven Bertolini.

Pasco Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Amanda Hunter told WFLA that North Port Police sought assistance from their human remain detection K9 unit. (RELATED: Feds Pull Guns On Man That Looks Just Like Brian Laundrie Hiking On The Appalachian Trail)

Laundrie, who is wanted in connection with the homicide of his girlfriend Gabby Petito, disappeared mid-September. Laundrie’s parents say Laundrie went hiking in the Carlton Reserve, which connects to Myakkahatchee Park, and never returned, prompting them to report him missing.

An arrest warrant was then issued for Laundrie in relation to Petito’s death.

Petito and Laundrie embarked on a cross-country road trip July 2, documenting their travels on Youtube and Instagram.

Petito’s mother reported her missing on Sep. 11 after she hadn’t been heard from in several days. Laundrie, meanwhile, had returned home to his North Port home on Sep. 1 without Petito and immediately hired a lawyer. Laundrie, nor his parents, reported Petito missing. Petito was last seen Aug. 24 after she and Laundrie checked out of a Salt Lake City hotel.

Authorities launched a massive search for Petito, with the Moab City Police Department later releasing bodycam footage showing a tense interaction on Aug. 12 that captured an emotionally distraught Petito and relatively calm Laundrie after officers responded to a domestic violence altercation. A passerby allegedly saw Laundrie slapping Petito on the side of the road.

Authorities eventually found Petito’s body in Grand Teton National Park, and a coroner said she was strangled.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
