Petito’s body was later found in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. Her cause of death was eventually revealed to be strangulation. |
| The FBI has since gone looking for the 23-year-old Laundrie, but have not been able to locate him. | |
| On Wednesday morning, however, his parents went to the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in Florida, where they were met by the FBI and local police, their attorney told WFLA-TV. | |
| Local media also reported that the Sarasota County medical examiner has been called to the park, and spotted an investigation tent. | |
| Laundrie’s parents told the authorities that their son went for a hike in the adjoining Carlton Reserve, on September 13 – six days before Petito’s body was discovered. That was the last time anyone saw the 23-year-old. | |
| While the media have labeled Laundrie as the prime suspect in Petito’s death, he is officially wanted for unauthorized use of a debit card, according to a grand jury indictment. He is also regarded as the sole 'person of interest' in her death. | |
| Petito’s disappearance and the circumstances of her death quickly gained national media attention, then drew backlash from pundits who suggested the interest was down to race and "missing white woman syndrome." | |
| The couple’s social media presence – they were documenting their cross-country “van life” trip on Instagram and YouTube – may have drawn initial attention to Petito, while the subsequent coverage has been fueled by the unresolved questions about the case. | |
