Laundrie lookalike stormed by Police

A man with an uncanny resemblance to Brian Laundrie, the sole person of interest in Gabby Petito's homicide, says he was questioned by federal investigators at gunpoint after being mistaken by tipsters as the wanted fugitive.

Severin Beckwith, and his travel companion Anna Brettmann, were at a lodge on the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina around October 7 when U.S. Marshals stormed into their room.

'Next thing I see is a bunch of guys with riot shields with 'U.S. Marshals' written on them,' Beckwith told The New Yorker. 'Handguns pointed at my face.'

'He told us, "I've been stopped by law enforcement three or four times. OMG What can I do? I look just like him,"' the sheriff recalled.

'I don't know who it was but someone in the room - law enforcement - suggested he change his appearance or maybe shave his beard until the possible suspect was caught.'

Beckwith was later released and, according to The New Yorker, given a free night's stay at the lodge for his 'unique troubles.'
