Teton County coroner says Gabby Petito was strangled, died by homicide

The Teton County coroner held a news conference Tuesday to release new information on the autopsy of Gabby Petito. The 22-year-old woman's body was found in a Wyoming national forest after she was reported missing by her family back in September.

Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue provided insight into the nature of Petito's death. Investigators say she was strangled, and her death was ruled a homicide. On Sept. 19, the FBI delivered an emotional message reporting that the body found in the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area of the Bridger-Teton National Forest matched the description of Petito. Two days later, it was confirmed that the body was Petito.

The search has been on for the last person known to see Petito: her fiancé Brian Laundrie.

Why the FBI not with you Sir so that they can answer all the questions.

3 or 4 weeks ? what kind of necropsy is that ? It's unrespectfull to give a Conference with excuses like : I can't comment on that, You have to contact the FBI, a kid will give more answers!

[veronicameeley]

What's the use of you Sir if you are not allowed to answer most of the questions.

Reminds me of Chris Watts. Also has similar parents

[toddJohnson]

People Need to focus on finding Laundrie . He's at home I bet they didn't search good enough

[charlenepicard]

John Walsh dude, he can't answer that

The autopsy results aren't public knowledge in the state of Wyoming? Does this mean the public will never know anything else about the death of Gabby? About any broken bones, sharp force wounds? Because in the Molly Tibbetts case we learned all about the way she died, and about Gannon Stauch as well.

I guess I wish she didn’t know it was coming — like he snuck up on her & bonked her with a club or something. Now I picture a very very sad thought … that she knew he was intentionally physically wrapping his hands around her neck. It’s awful no matter what, but this was the worst imagined method for me, I think.

How come the FBI don't reveal the whole truth about the death of Gabby Petito. Are there lots of bruises and Mark in her body. For sure Brian must have lots of scratches in his face arms and body.
