NORTH PORT, Fla. (AP) — A corner in Wyoming has concluded that Gabby Petito was murdered.
The finding that she was a victim of homicide came along with the confirmation that the human remains found over the weekend at a Wyoming national park were those of the 22-year-old woman who disappeared months after she set out on a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend.
Teton County Coroner Brent Blue determined Petito was killed but officials didn’t disclose a cause of death pending final autopsy results. Her body was found Sunday near an undeveloped campsite in remote northern Wyoming along the border of Grand Teton National Park.
Meanwhile, authorities continue to search a swampy Florida preserve area near the home of Petito’s boyfriend. Police in North Port, Florida, said investigators returned yesterday to the Carlton Reserve to look for 23-year-old Brian Laundrie.
Nothing of note was found — and the search is expected to continue today.
The FBI Denver Field Office is asking anyone with information on the Gabby Petito case or the whereabouts of Brian Laundrie to call 800-CALL-FBI or 303-629-7171. Photos and videos can be uploaded to the FBI’s digital media tip line at fbi.gov/petito
