Police in North Port, Florida received two 911 calls connected to the home of fugitive Brian Laundrie's parents on September 10 — the day before his fiancée, Gabby Petito, 22, was reported missing.
The were both 'public service' calls, with the first placed just before 4pm and the second around 6.30pm, according to police logs provided.
It is unclear who called 911 or what those calls entailed as the logs have been partially redacted. However, both calls have been given the brief description of 'problem settled'.
Officers also received three calls connected to the residence on September 11, the day Petito's mother filed a missing persons' report for the 22-year-old.
Those incidents were listed as 'follow up/investigation' and 'agency assist.'
Response to the calls was described as 'problem settled,' 'no police action needed' and 'report submitted'.

At least 46 emergency calls were made in connection to the residence for various reasons between September 10 and September 27 including 'missing person,' 'disturbance,' 'follow up/investigation,' 'agency assist,' 'special detail,' 'patrol check' and 'public service'.
The provided records indicate that officers most recently received a call connected to the home on Monday at 5.10pm, with calls placed earlier in the day at 8.06am, 8.28am, 1.29pm, 2.45pm and 4.13pm.
North Port police visited the home on September 14, 15 and 16, as well as twice on September 17.
Laundrie's parents reported him missing on September 17, saying they hadn't seen him since the 14.
A nationwide manhunt is underway for 23-year-old Laundrie, who is a person of interest in Petito's homicide.
TV reality star Dog the Bounty Hunter — real name Duane Chapman, 68 — has also launched a search for Laundrie, focusing his attentions on the Florida coastline and creeks surrounding Fort De Soto Park.

He embarked on his fourth day of searching Wednesday as a plane flew a sign taunting the 23-year-old fugitive with a message reading: 'Aloha Brian Laundrie'.
The banner, which was flown over the islands off the western coast of Florida, according to Outsider, was signed 'Dog'.
Dog and his team recovered a can of Monster Energy Ultra Gold which appeared to have been freshly drunk at a makeshift campsite deep in the woods at Shell Island along the coastline Wednesday, Fox News reported.
However, the team did not find solid evidence suggesting that Laundrie is in the woods on Egmont Key — which is located just southwest of Fort De Soto park.
His spokesperson said Dog is likely not searching on Thursday, but will be following up with leads from his temporary headquarters in the Sarasota area.
'This has been a very different search,' Dog said in a statement released late Wednesday night.
'Social media has enabled us to do this alongside everyone out there. America is along for the journey with us and I'm ready to do more!'
He believes it is probable that Laundrie is hiding somewhere in the 1,136 acre Fort De Soto Park area — which is made up of five interconnected islands.
'This would be and could be a perfect spot for him to hide, not too many people out here, but there's a lot of environmental things that we're gonna fight,' Dog said in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

Monday night, the reality star revealed that Laundrie's parents spent the night in the campsite from September 1 to 3, staying in spot number 1.
They returned again with Laundrie to stay on spot 15 from September 6 to 8, and left without him, Dog claimed. Records did not show the Laundrie family staying at the park from September 1 to 3.
The family's attorney, Steven Bertolino, confirmed all three Laundrie family members went camping at the park from September 6, leaving together the next day - September 7.
'They all left the park,' Bertolino said, according to Fox 13.
Two months ago Laundrie and Gabby Petitio visited the same park and posted photos hiking and showing them relaxing on the beach. They also posted this photo behind bars

The attorney for the family of Brian Laundrie has confirmed that Laundrie went camping with his parents at Fort de Soto Park five days before Gabby Petito was reported missing. Laundrie had returned home to North Port, Florida on September 1 and Petito was reported missing on September 11. Police and FBI are now searching Cartlon Reserve for any sign of him
Bertolino gave the confirmation after initially saying of Dog's allegations: 'I will no longer give that dog credibility or dignify his false claims with the time of my reply.'
If Dog's claims that Laundrie's parents left without him are accurate, the 23-year-old could have had a nine-day head-start on law enforcement before his dad, Christopher, and mom, Roberta, told police he had vanished.
This would also mean that the Laundries hid from authorities for almost a week that he was not at the family home as cops were denied access to enter the property due to Laundrie's first amendment rights.
Laundrie was named a person of interest in the homicide of his fiancée, Petito.
A warrant is out for his arrest for allegedly fraudulently spending $1,000 on Petito's Capitol One Bank debit card between August 30 and September 1.
The young couple set off on a cross-country trip in their campervan back on July 2 and were documenting their travels on YouTube.
Petito was last seen alive on August 24 leaving a motel in Salt Lake City, Utah, with Laundrie and last spoke to her mom by phone the following day. Her family said they believe texts from her phone after then were 'suspicious.'
Brian returned to his home in North Port alone on September 1 driving the couple's campervan.
Petito was reported missing on September 11 by her family and her body was discovered in a campsite near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on September 19.
Her death has been ruled a homicide but the cause of death is not yet clear.
Laundrie refused to speak to authorities during a week-long search for his missing girlfriend. On September 17, his parents told police they hadn't seen him in three days when he headed for a hike at the nearby Carlton Reserve.
As the manhunt for Laundrie continues, new details have emerge about his whereabouts between September 1 - the day he returned to Florida without Petito - and September 14 - the day his parents claim they last saw him.
Documents from the Fort De Soto Park reveal Brian's mom Roberta made a booking on August 24 for two people to stay at the campsite from September 1 to 3, Fox reported.
But on August 31 - the day before Brian returned home - Roberta canceled the reservation.
Brian and Petito were not expected to be back in Florida until October after setting out on the four month-long trip on July 2.
On September 3, seven days before Petito was reported missing, Roberta made a new reservation for three people at the same park for the weekend running September 6 through September 8.
A source who used to work at Civic Plus which manages the campground's reservation system told Fox they believe this indicates the Laundries knew Brian was heading home on August 31 and then made new plans to include him in a trip.
Other documents from the park, which is about 75 miles north of the family's home, show the Laundries did check in and out of the campsite on the dates booked.
Brian visited the park with Petito just two months ago with photos showing the young couple at the beach and campsite.
In one photo from the fateful couple's visit, Laundrie and Gabby are seen peering through the bars of a jail cell at an old fort.
'Really nice campground, beautiful area with many hikes and easy walks, the beach, historic sites, really nice camp store and well maintained sites!' the couple said in a review.
Pinellas County Sheriff's Office told Fox Wednesday that the FBI is now examining surveillance footage from the area around the campsite as part of the search for Laundrie.
A spokesperson said the footage was being looked at as part of 'the open and active investigation' led by the FBI's Denver field office.
'The surveillance footage is part of that and that's why it is not being released,' they said.
A couple who stayed at the campsite at the same time recalled seeing a red truck with a camper similar to the one now seen parked in the Laundries' driveway.
Marcie and Kenny Newson said they could not confirm physically seeing Laundrie but a selfie from their trip appears to show him walking across the campsite.
'They kept to themselves. They were there and then they weren't', they told NBC 2.
Another camper whose name appeared on the ledger was celebrating his anniversary with his wife three spots down from the Laundries.
Thomas Rutherford told Fox News that he could 'vaguely remember' spotting the Laundries' vehicle, which they noted due to the novelty of seeing a camper attached to a vehicle.
Meanwhile, multiple travelers are sharing stories of their encounters with a man they believe to be Brian Laundrie that took place in the days before Petito was last seen alive.
Hunter Mannies, 44, from Louisiana, has said he believes he saw a man matching Laundrie's description at Bullwinkle's Saloon in West Yellowstone, Montana on August 26.

Hunter Mannies, 44, (pictured) believes he had an encounter with Brian Laundrie, 23, in a bar one day before Gabby Petito, 22, went missing
'It was an odd encounter,' Mannies said during a Fox & Friends interview.
'There was a guy by himself at the end of the bar. We really didn’t pay him much attention until he got kind of – he just seemed overly invested in our conversation and eventually ended up speaking up.'
Mannies says the bargoer - who introduced himself as 'Brian' - was giving off an 'uncomfortable vibe' during the time he was in the bar, before he interjected in the conversation that Mannies was having with a friend about hunting, guns and politics.
'[Laundrie] abruptly jumped into it with a comment about 'stupid Southerners' and some expletives about Republicans,' he shared.
'I kind of laughed and said, 'Well, where are you from?' and he said, 'New York,' Mannies explained. 'And I said, 'Okay, New York' and he said, 'I have a name, it's Brian,'' Mannies added, speaking with The New York Post.
'I said, 'Let me ask you this, New York. What did you expect to find in a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere Montana? Did you expect to find a bunch of Democrats?''
He added: 'He was overly invested in our conversation. We felt watched. He wasn't talking to the bartenders. He was there alone. It just stood out as odd. He was just mad at the world it seemed like.'
Mannies also said that the bargoer 'he had that serial killer look.' He has reported the encounter to the FBI.

Two women have also come forward, each claiming that they picked up Laundrie who was hitchhiking in Grand Teton National Park.
TikToker Miranda Baker said she and her boyfriend were at Grand Teton National Park on August 29 when Laundrie approached the couple and asked them for a ride at 5.30pm.
'He approached us asking for a ride because he needed to go to Jackson and we were going to Jackson that night. So I said, ya know, "hop in" and he hopped in the back of my Jeep,' Baker explained.

Baker explained that her, her boyfriend and Laundrie 'then proceeded to make small talk' and found out he had been camping for multiple days without his fiancée.
'He did say he had a fiancée and that she was working on their social media page back at their van,' Baker said.
She also said that Laundrie told her he and his companion were not camping on a regulated campsite through the national park.
'They were camping basically out in the middle of nowhere along Snake River,' she said.
Baker recounted the alleged story Laundrie told her and her boyfriend: 'This is key information. He said that he had hiked for days along Snake River but looking at his backpack, it wasn't full.
'And he said all he had was a tarp to sleep on. And, if you'd think you're going camping for days on end you'd want food and a tent and he had none of that.'
She added: 'He had scruff but he didn't look dirty for someone who was camping for multiple days. He didn't look dirty, he didn't smell dirty, so that part was kind of weird.'
Then, when Baker told Laundrie they were driving to Jackson Hole he supposedly 'freaked out' and asked them to pull over and said: 'Nope, I need to get out right now.'
Baker said they pulled over at the Jackson Dam in Grand Teton National Park, which she noted was not very far from where they originally picked Laundrie up.
He allegedly hurried out of the car and told the couple he would find someone else to hitchhike with.
Police have since told Fox 13 News that Baker's story is 'possibly credible'.

A second woman, Norma Jean Jalovec, also said she picked Laundrie while he was hitchhiking up on August 29.
She claims Laundrie asked her tp drop him off at the gate of the Spread Creek campground and tried to jump out of the car when she offered to drive him inside.
'He got agitated when I said, 'Do you want me to take you past the gate, down the road [to the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area]?'' Jalovec told People.
'He was like, 'No, no, no, no, no. This is fine.' He said, 'Just let me out here. You can let me out here.''
Jalovec said she found his 'antsy behavior' to be odd, noting that he offered her $200 for gas money, even though she only drove him a short distance.
'He was antsy and just wanted to get out at the gate. I said, 'Oh, you don't want your fiancée to see you being dropped off out of an SUV. You want her to think you hiked all the way back.''
She continued: 'But now we all know, obviously, there was a reason why he probably didn't want me to go down that road.'
