Breaking: FBI finds body in Grand Teton Park presumptively ID to be Gabby Petito

Gabby Petito update: Human remains found in Wyoming are ‘consistent’ with description of missing 22-year-old

…from CNN

[ Editor’s Note: Another senseless killing between a couple because somebody ‘had to have it my way’. Yes, I am getting ahead of the story, but the video news of their law enforcement encounter over their ‘fighting’ is a good finger pointing.

Added to the we had the idiot family who mums up with the son, when I know endless fathers who would have beat the shit out of their sons in such situation to make him tell where the body was.

He will go from a ‘person of interest’ to suspect number one. Although he apparently seems to be on the lamb to take the heat off his parents, he might have offed himself to avoid facing the music, including his family.

Or…he might has blown the country and as a suspect he will be the most wanted man in America, and possibly in Interpol.

Update: Just caught a story where the family says the son is hiding.

It’s a sad day for the family, but frankly better than an endless missing person situation when you know that he probably killed her and is walking around… Jim W. Dean ]

Human remains discovered in Teton County, Wyoming, on Sunday are “consistent with the description of” missing 22-year-old Gabby Petito, FBI officials said in a news conference.

“Full forensic identification has not been completed to confirm 100% that we found Gabby, but her family has been notified of this discovery,” said Charles Jones, FBI Denver’s supervisory senior resident agent in Wyoming.

The cause of death has not been determined, he said.

Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue told CNN an autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, saying officials would confirm the identity through photographs, personal identification or DNA.

Authorities this weekend conducted a search around the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area in Bridger-Teton National Forest on the eastern edge of Grand Teton National Park for any sign of Petito, whose family reported her missing September 11.

At the same time, authorities in Florida were looking for Petito’s fiancé, Brian Laundrie. His family told police Friday they had not seen Laundrie since last Tuesday, prompting a search of a local nature reserve that has so far yielded no results.
