Sad news.
A body discovered in Wyoming has been identified as Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old who was reported missing earlier this month, the FBI's field office in Denver announced Tuesday. The initial manner of death has been ruled a homicide but the cause of death remains pending final autopsy results, it said.
Brent Blue, the Teton County Coroner, performed the autopsy on Tuesday after investigators discovered the body in a camping area within Grand Teton National Park. FBI Denver said a forensic team completed its search on the campgrounds and is asking anyone who was in the area between August 27 and August 30 to contact investigators.
"The FBI and our partners remain dedicated to ensuring anyone responsible for or complicit in Ms. Petito's death is held accountable for their actions," the FBI in Denver said in a statement Tuesday. "Mr. Brian Laundrie has been named a person of interest. Anyone with information concerning Mr. Laundrie's role in this matter or his current whereabouts should contact the FBI."
Petito's last known contact with family was in late August while she was in Grand Teton National Park, authorities said. She was reported missing on September 11 - 10 days after Laundrie returned home from the trip without her.
Rest in peace, Gabby.
