FBI confirms Gabby Petito's remains found in Wyoming; manner of death 'homicide'
NORTH PORT, Fla. - The FBI confirmed Tuesday that the remains found over the weekend in Grand Teton National Park were those of Gabrielle "Gabby" Petito, the Florida woman who went missing during a cross-country trip with her fiancé.
According to the agency's Denver field office, the Teton County coroner confirmed the identity and said the manner of Gabby's death was homicide, but a specific cause of death will have to wait for the full autopsy results.
The remains were discovered Sunday in the Bridger-Teton National Forest after a national search for the 22-year-old. Video captured by a vacationing Tampa family accidentally caught what appeared to be the couple's van parked at the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area in the forest; Gabby's body was later found nearby.
An apparent stone memorial has since been discovered near that spot, reports KSTU. A cross made of rocks was spotted there but it was unclear who placed it there, according to the station. Read More
