Police and FBI agents searching a national park in Wyoming have found a body “consistent” with missing Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old woman whose disappearance has captivated the US.
The site where the body was found was not far from where two travel bloggers filmed the couple's van, seemingly abandoned, along a dirt road near Spread Creek on the evening of Aug. 27, two days after Petito's last confirmed contact with her family.
Petito's father, Joseph Petito, posted a photograph of his daughter on Twitter following the news conference. The photo, which shows her standing between two painted wings, was captioned with a broken heart and the words: “She touched the world.” “Saddened and heartbroken to learn that Gabby has been found deceased,” North Port police said on Twitter. “Our focus from the start, along with the FBI, and national partners, has been to bring her home. We will continue to work with the FBI in the search for more answers.”
