Young couple goes on van tour of US, boy comes back with van - no girl

"This sounds like Bertolino is worried about a wrongful death lawsuit, which is definitely in the cards. The other fairly obvious concern ... whether cops have Brian's parents under a microscope to determine if they in any way helped him escape ... something Bertolino has dismissed as hogwash."

Yeah, TMZ maybe ought to stay in its lane.

Wrongful death suit? Against whom -- the parents? Fuggeddaboutit. Brian's estate? He barely had two nickels to rub together and no homeowners policy. Or maybe Intentional Infliction of Emotional Harm against the parents? Good luck with that one.

That lawyer's just trying to keep them out of jail.
