Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito was strangled to death, Teton County coroner Dr. Brent Blue said on Tuesday afternoon following weeks of speculation over the 22-year-old woman’s autopsy.
Petito’s remains were identified on Sept. 21 shortly after her body was found along the border of Grand Teton National Park. Teton County medical examiners had ruled her death a homicide but did not make the cause of her death public.
Blue told reporters Petito was likely strangled between three and four weeks before her body was found, but declined to say more about the autopsy or the case overall, saying he was prevented by Wyoming law that limits what information coroners can release.
Petito disappeared after a months-long cross-country trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, 23, across the United States.
Petito’s family reported her missing on Sept. 11, saying she was not responding to calls or texts more than a week after Laundrie had reportedly returned home alone. Police reported Laundrie had disappeared on Sept. 17, shortly after naming him a ‘person of interest’ in Petito’s case.
