Last night on Fox News Nancy Grace, she and other correspondents reported that "No DNA match or cause of death for Brian Laundrie after skull found."

According to People Magazine, "Brian Laundrie's autopsy has come back inconclusive and his remains are now being transferred to an anthropologist, his family's lawyer says."

The FBI believes his body was submerged underwater for approximately five weeks during their search. North Port FL police spokesperson Josh Taylor said, "The remains were found about 2 to 3 miles inside the Carlton Reserve, or about a 45-minute walk" from the entrance at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.

There was no gun found near the remains. A rope was in a tree but used for a swing nearby the remains. It was not used for suicide. No pill bottles were found that would have caused an overdose.

The parents of Brian Laundrie say, "There will not be a funeral", for their son and remains will be cremated.

Skyline News searched for Brian Laundrie after reports he was seen along the Appalachian Trail in Madison County NC and Greenville TN.

The Newbern NC Police Department confirmed with Skyline that the owner of a white Hyundai Sonata and NC tag seen in Madison County and Greenville belonged to the uncle of Brian Laundrie.

The car was seen and tag confirmed by law enforcement at the fire tower on Viking Mountain Rd next to the Appalachian Trail. The car was also seen, with the same tag, at a cabin on Log Cabin Rd just off of Viking Mnt Rd. The cabin is 30 yards from the Appalachian Trail.

Hiker Dennis Davis said he spoke with Brian Laundrie near the entrance of a trailhead of the Appalachian Trail and off-ramp of I-40 at Waterville Rd. Davis says Laundrie was driving a white F-150. Others Skyline interviewed in the area say Laundrie was spotted on Harmens Den Rd and Waterville Rd driving a white truck.

The FBI confirmed they interviewed 11 people in Western NC regarding sightings. Skyline interviewed 9 credible people that said they saw someone fitting the description of Laundrie along the Appalachian Trail, Max Patch, Hot Springs, Woodland Hills (Buncombe County), Greenville TN, Harmens Den, Waterville Rd, and Meadows Fork Rd.

A person that fit the description of Brian Laundrie was seen one block from the Uncle's Newbern home. The man hid in the bushes after realizing he was being videotaped. The Newbern Police Department did not believe the man was Laundrie but never found the man for visual confirmation.

The only evidence of Brian Laundrie's death is dental records found from a small portion of the lower jaw.
