Human remains were discovered in Grand Teton National Park, where the 22-year-old had been camping with her fiancé when she disappeared.

"Today, the search revealed human remains consistent with the description of Gabrielle 'Gabby' Petito," the FBI statement said.
"Full forensic identification has not been completed and we do not yet know the cause of death. We appreciate your patience as we work through this process."
"The FBI and our partners extend our heartfelt condolences to Gabby's family and loved ones," the statement continued. "This is an incredibly difficult time for them, and our thoughts are with them as they mourn the loss of their daughter."

While Petito's mother, Nicole Schmidt, revealed that she heard from her daughter on August 27 and 30, she told she is not sure if it was actually her as only text messages were exchanged.
"It was just a text. I did not verbally speak to her," she told the media outlet.

But he has not been heard from in some days, with North Port police searching the Mabry Carlton Reserve for the missing man.

His Instagram account also indicates that he is an artist as he has multiple pictures posted related to printmaking art.
Before her disappearance, Laundrie and Petito were working on documenting their journey on under the name "Nomadic Statik."
As the investigation continues, Laundrie reportedly remains a person of interest.
On September 14, Laundrie issued a statement through his lawyer, saying: "This is an extremely difficult time for both the Petito family and the Laundrie family.
"I understand that a search has been organized for Miss Petito in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. On behalf of the Laundrie family it is our hope that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is re-united with her family.
"On the advice of counsel the Laundrie family is remaining in the background at this juncture and will have no further comment."
In a shocking turn of events, Laundrie himself was then reported as the police report that he has not been seen for days.
