Body discovered in Teton County, Wyoming, has characteristics “consistent with the description” of the 22-year-old blogger Gabby Petito, missing since the end of August, whose case has thrilled America. FBI officials said this at a press conference.
“The forensic identification was not completed to 100% confirm that we found Gabby, but her family has been notified of this discovery,” said Charles Jones, senior resident agent of the Denver FBI. Jones opened the press conference by extending condolences to Petito’s family. A very popular travel blogger on Instagram, Petito had left with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, for a trip by camper through the United States and they wanted to tell the ‘van life’, the life in the van.
At the end of the summer, only he returned home. Last Thursday a video appeared, dating back to a month ago, in which the girl is seen crying and telling a policeman that she had had a fight with her boyfriend. Now the young man has disappeared too; his parents denounced him, who until now had refused to cooperate: they said they have not seen him since Tuesday but they notified the police only three days later. For days, the police and Gabby’s family have been asking the Laundries to cooperate.
On 11 September, the Petito family reported the girl’s disappearance. The young woman, whose last contact with her family dates back to the end of August, was last seen in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
