CHRIS CUOMO: [Speaking to camera] Clouding the discovery is the fact that Brian Laundries parents were there today when the discoveries were made. Is that a coincidence? Well, they were with authorities when the discoveries were made, and the parents didn’t discover the actual remains. So, there were authorities there with them the whole time.

And they responded with “Thank you for the heads up.” And then they met my clients there this morning.

CHRIS CUOMO: Why did …
