Long Island news, New York news.

A former co-worker of Brian Laundrie described the now-fugitive who stands accused of strangling Gabby Petito as a “weirdo” who “would get pissed off pretty quick.”

“He never came across as the kind of person that would be the killing type,” Michael Livingston, who used to work with Laundrie at Long Island garden center, recalled.

  • “I remember from back then he was a bog yoga guy, always telling me, ‘I gotta worry about my zen. And I thought he was this weirdo.”

    Livingston added that despite working with soil and plants, Laundrie always had clean hands and knew how to sell “the product.”

    “He was a good employee who knew how to talk to people. He knew how to make people like him, he knew how to make people happy, and he had the same kind of air you would be taught if you worked at a dealership.”
