Police are searching for her fiance, Brian Laundrie, after the two were pulled over by police in Utah and described a scuffle.
Authorities said Sunday that they may have found Gabby Petito’s body near the Wyoming site where they were searching for the 22-year-old woman who was traveling across the country with her fiance. Charles Jones, an FBI agent, confirmed the finding Sunday. “The cause of death has not been determined,” Jones said, adding that her family had been notified, but that authorities had not fully confirmed that the body is hers though it matched her description. Petito disappeared shortly after she contacted her family from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, authorities said. Brian Laundrie returned home Sept.1, and Petito’s family recently filed a missing-person report with police in Suffolk County, N.Y., where the couple are from. Florida police and the FBI were looking for Laundrie in a nature preserve over the weekend, after Utah police released body-camera footage of a traffic stop involving the couple.
