Something new in the Gabby Petito case. Cases belonging to Brian Laundrie, the fiance of the young woman killed in late August, have been discovered in a Florida park near the family home, the family’s lawyer confirmed to Fox News and CNN. In the process, what appears to be partial human remains were discovered nearby, according to NBC News. At this point, authorities have not confirmed this discovery, and the identity of the person who is believed to have died is not known.
According to Fox News, police, a canine unit and a medical examiner are on site. Gabby Petito’s fiancé has been missing for five weeks.
Arrest warrant
Brian Laundrie’s parents informed authorities on Wednesday morning that they were planning to search Myakkahatchee Creek Park, where their son they said had told them he was going for a hike on September 13. The authorities had already searched an area of 80 km² around the park last month. In Fox News footage, we can see a policeman, a plastic bag in his hand, saying to parents at midday: “We may have found something.”
Last week, the Teton County, Wyoming, medical examiner announced that the young traveler was killed in late August by “manual strangulation.” At this point, her fiancé Brian Laundrie, who returned home alone in early September, is considered a “person of interest”. An arrest warrant was issued against the young man at the end of September for using the young woman’s bank card after her death.
