Human remains found in Wyoming have been confirmed as those of Gabby Petito, and the 22-year-old's death was ruled a homicide, the FBI says. Petito disappeared while on a cross-country trip with a boyfriend who is now being sought by Florida authorities.
In an interview broadcast Monday on TV’s “Dr. Phil” show, Joseph Petito said Laundrie and his daughter had dated for 2 1/2 years, and Laundrie was “always respectful.” During the interview, which was recorded before his daughter’s body was found, Petito said the couple had taken a previous road trip to California in her car and there were no problems.“We called Brian, we called the mom, we called the dad, we called the sister, we called every number that we could find,” Joseph Petito said.
The FBI said investigators are seeking information from anyone who may have seen the couple around Grand Teton.who met while growing up on New York’s Long Island. His parents later moved to North Port, about 35 miles south of Sarasota. Video released by the Moab police showed that an officer pulled the couple’s van over on the same day after it was seen speeding and hitting a curb near Arches National Park. The body-camera footage showed an upset Petito.
Moab police separated the couple for the night, with Laundrie checking into a motel and Petito remaining with the van.
