Authorities said a body discovered in northern Wyoming was believed to be that of a 22-year-old Gabby Petito who disappeared while on a cross-country trek with her boyfriend Brian Laundrie, now the subject of an intense search in a Florida nature preserve.
The FBI said the body of Gabrielle "Gabby" Petito was found Sunday by law enforcement agents who spent the weekend searching camp sites on the eastern border of Grand Teton National Park.
The cause of death not yet been determined, said FBI Supervisory Special Agent Charles Jones. Specifics on where and how the body was found were not disclosed.
"Full forensic identification has not been completed to confirm 100% that we found Gabby, but her family has been notified," Jones said. "This is an incredibly difficult time for (Petito's) family and friends."
Boyfriend Brian Laundrie, 23, has been identified as a person of interest in the case. He was last seen Tuesday by family members in Florida.
