(CNN) -- The investigation into the disappearance of Brian Laundrie, whose fiancée Gabby Petito was found dead in Wyoming last month, has uncovered new details about his earlier movements as well as traces of human activity at the nature reserve that's been the focus of a massive search.

Police found the remnants of a campsite that appeared to be used recently in Florida's Carlton Reserve, a sprawling 24,565-acre wilderness near Laundrie's family home that has been closed to visitors, a source close to the family told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Wednesday.

Laundrie's father had been asked to show law enforcement the trails at the reserve, which his son had been known to use, the source said. But because of the campsite discovery, police restricted the search on Wednesday and did not include his father.

Additionally, the North Port Police Department confirmed that a notice was placed on an abandoned vehicle belonging to the Laundrie family near the nature reserve on September 14.
