A woman who said she knew Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie on Saturday took down protest signs on the Laundries' property line, saying, "Somebody had to do it."
The signs featured cartoons targeting the Laundrie family for staying silent about their now-deceased son, whose remains were discovered on Wednesday.
"Let the parents grieve. Let them go through...I mean, they didn't know anything," the woman told Fox News' Michael Ruiz.
The attorney for now-deceased fugitive Brian Laundrie has shed new light on the moment when Laundrie's parents learned human remains had been discovered in the Florida park where authorities had been searching.
Steven Bertolino spoke to Fox News Digital from his New York office Friday and further described the events of Wednesday morning, when Chris and Roberta Laundrie met with a law enforcement officer in Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.
Their son, who had been a person of interest in the murder of his fiancée, Gabby Petito, was believed to have been headed for a hike in the park on Sept. 13 when he left his North Port, Florida, home for the last time.

Brian Laundrie's family could face legal consequences under certain circumstances now that authorities have discovered the deceased 23-year-old's remains, famed criminal defense lawyer Mark Geragos said.
The FBI on Thursday confirmed remains recovered from the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port, Florida were indeed Laundrie's, after comparing dental records.
"Based on what we know so far… the only exposure, potential liability, would be either after the federal warrant was issued or if there was some assistance given while he was a fugitive," Geragos told Fox News, meaning Laundrie's parents would likely only be accused of a crime for actions committed after the U.S. District Court of Wyoming issued a federal arrest warrant for their son.

The attorney for now-deceased Brian Laundrie and his vilified parents said he has been told by the FBI that they believe they "have everything they need" with respect to the investigation into the murder of Gabby Petito.
Sitting down with Fox News Digital at his New York office Friday, Steven Bertolino addressed questions about whether Chris and Roberta Laundrie planned to cooperate in the investigation into the death of their son's late fiancée.
After explaining what the FBI had told him, Bertolino added: "I was unaware of that as of yesterday. So, things change every day in this saga."
"And it is tragic. It's very sad," he continued. "So, ultimately, we'll see that through as it needs to be."

Protesters who gathered outside of Brian Laundrie's parents' Florida home on Friday said they need to give any more information they have about the investigation, according to a report.
“I’m glad it’s over but it’s not over,” protester Ann Carol Lemiszko told WSVN-TV in Miami. “We need answers to all the questions.”
Human remains found in the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park were identified as Laundrie on Thursday. The remains were found after more than a month of searching for Laundrie who was a person of interest in fiancée Gabby Petito's strangulation death.
“They should have admitted the truth right away where he was at,” protester Wally Lemiszko told the station. “It would have saved a lot of hassle for people.”
“When they brought the van back to this house the first day, they should’ve already called the cops and should’ve started doing questioning right then and there. It’s her van, where is she?” Lemiszko added.
