The announcement made today comes after a number of case developments. On September 22, the FBI in Denver officially confirmed that the bones discovered in Wyoming’s Bridger-Teton National Forest were to Petito, a 22-year-old woman who vanished while traveling with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, to national parks.
Anyone with information about Mr. Laundrie’s involvement in this case or his whereabouts today should get in touch with the FBI, according to Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider.
Laundrie had been traveling with Petito when she vanished. He has been sought by local and federal officials in a 25,000-acre Florida wildlife reserve. For Laundrie’s actions following Petito’s passing, a federal arrest warrant was issued, the FBI reported in late September.
Petito Family Reaction
In a recent interview when they discussed the day they learned of their daughter’s passing, Gabby’s parents stated that they continue to hold onto the hope that Brian is still alive. Brian “didn’t tell us” that he went back to his house in North Port with her van and without Gabby, according to her father Joe. Joe added that the parents started messaging and calling Brian’s parents anxiously, even initially believing that Brian was also missing.
The Laundrie family put out a new statement immediately after the Wyoming coroner released his final autopsy, which determined Gabby Petito was strangled to death. The statement marks the first time they have confirmed Brian used Gabby’s debit card. MORE: https://t.co/D8JXs6C0PZ pic.twitter.com/JHg67YeB2f

“One of the texts, I mean, I was going to call the police. You know, ‘Just letting you know because we have no idea, no responses,’” Joe Petito said. “A normal parent, when you text someone that they’re going to call the cops because you can’t find your child, they would reply.”
Joe Petito said, “I do,” when asked if they believed “100%” that Brian Laundrie was hiding.
“Because he’s a coward. Flat out. I could use some other words, but I can’t use them on your show. Coward,” he said. Coward, he uttered. “Anyone who resided in the house is a coward and unable to defend their behavior.
The bones of Petito were still being kept in Wyoming as of Friday. Blue claimed that her return to Long Island was being planned by the family. “Bringing her home is the family’s top priority,” her parents’ lawyer Richard Stafford told Fox News.
