A Florida cattle rancher said that the subject of a nationwide manhunt in relation to the Gabby Pettito case couldn’t survive in the Sunshine State’s swamps.

For 30 years, Alan McEwen has called the nature preserve where authorities have been searching for Brian Laundrie home.

"There’s no surviving out here, I don’t know how to say it,” McEwen told Fox News.

Laundrie and fiancée Pettito were in the midst of a cross-country road trip last month when the latter, 22, went missing.

The couple documented the trip on social media.

When Pettito disappeared, Laundrie returned to Florida before he too was reported missing.

McEwen told Fox News that Laundrie isn’t in the 24,000-acre Carlton Reserve, where he is suspected of being, saying conditions wouldn’t be in Laundrie’s favor.

"I’ve been in the woods in and out all my life … I have learned a lot in my life, and one thing I know is no one is gonna survive out there for two weeks on foot," McEwen, who aided with search efforts, said according to Newsweek.

He added that a dead body wouldn’t last long in the preserve.

McEwen said that buzzards would’ve had their way with the remains.
