"It's a little disappointing we still don't have this guy's whereabouts," DeSantis told FOX 13 News' Kimberly Kuizon. "I hope that he's apprehended and brought to justice if he was the one, in fact, that was guilty of this."
The governor pointed out Laundrie's parents live in the area, saying "clearly there [were] things going on here with the family."
