Local reporter Brian Entin posted a live-streamed video on Twitter titled, "Police just went into Brian Laundrie's house" around 6:30 p.m. local time.

About an hour after law enforcement first arrived at the house, Entin reported that a third officer showed up at the residence and police took an evidence bag inside the home.
