Boyfriend of US roadtripper Gabby Petito found dead
Human remains found in a Florida nature reserve belong to the boyfriend of murdered road tripper Gabby Petito, US authorities said Thursday. The FBI said in a statement that "a comparison of dental records confirmed that the human remains... are those of Brian Laundrie." Laundrie, 23, had been named a "person of interest" in the killing of Petito, 22, who was found dead in September after the couple went on a road trip across the United States, documenting their journey in a stream of social media posts. But her family filed a missing person report on September 11 after Petito mysteriously vanished, and Laundrie returned home to Florida without her. Laundrie refused to say what happened to his girlfriend and then vanished himself, as authorities launched a nationwide search for Petito. Her death and the subsequent disappearance of the chief suspect sparked a blizzard of media coverage both in the United States and around the world.
