Authorities confirmed Tuesday that the body found in a Wyoming national park over the weekend has been positively identified as 22-year-old Gabby Petito.
“Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue confirmed the remains are those of Gabrielle Venora Petito, date of birth March 19, 1999,” the FBI field office in Denver announced on Twitter. “Coroner Blue’s initial determination for the manner of death is homicide,” the agency said. “The cause of death remains pending final autopsy results.”
Peito was reported missing on September 11, just ten days after her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, returned to his parents’ Florida home without her. The two were on a months-long cross-country road trip prior to the series of recent events.
Laundrie, who has been a person of interest in Petito’s disappearance, went missing himself last week.
