Gabby Petito

Brian Laundrie did not have a will when he died by suicide. A petition for summary administration is necessary when assets are less than $75,000, legal experts say.

Gabby Petito’s family attorney floated the notion that "additional individuals" could face charges in connection with her strangling in Wyoming more than two months ago.

One month after Brian Laundrie's remains were found at a Florida preserve, his parents have learned his cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to the family's attorney.

When Brian Laundrie’s parents reported him missing in mid-September following the strangulation of his fiancée Gabby Petito, they turned over all of the firearms in their home to the FBI – but one was apparently missing.

A bench covered in colorful steel butterflies sits in the shade of trees in a North Port park, just steps away from where a makeshift memorial once stood. In the center, a plaque reads, "In Memory of Gabby Petito."

Utah investigators have determined that there is no connection between the horrific double murder of a newlywed couple found dead just outside Moab and the missing person case of Gabby Petito, who passed through the city with the fiancé who drove back to Florida without her.

The chief of the North Port Police Department reportedly has admitted his department "made a mistake" on Sept. 15 when they thought they spotted Brian outside of his parents’ home in North Port – only to learn at a later point that it was actually his mother.

A memorial to Gabby Petito outside Brian Laundrie's family home in North Port has been removed by the city. Officials took it down Wednesday night, saying the memorial violated the city's sign and stormwater codes.

The Laundrie family's attorney says a forensic anthropologist analyzing Brian Laundrie's remains will likely have some answers regarding his manner, cause and time of death within a matter of weeks.

After Gabby Petito was reported missing, North Port police thought they had a close eye on Brian Laundrie, but now they have realized they had a case of mistaken identity as they were monitoring him – and they blame his family, at least in part.

Brian Laundrie's notebook and backpack were discovered near his remains, and though the area had previously been underwater, investigators say the notebook could provide answers about Laundrie's final days.

Brian Laundrie's parents left their North Port home to grieve privately with family at an undisclosed location in Florida, their attorney said, adding that Chris and Roberta Laundrie are not planning to have a funeral for their son.

Brian Laundrie’s parents unknowingly walked just a few yards away from locations in a Florida nature preserve where police found their son’s personal belongings and remains Wednesday morning.

How did Brian Laundrie die? It’s a question that will be passed on from the medical examiner to a forensic anthropologist.

The attorney for Brian Laundrie's parents says an autopsy on their son's remains, which were described as “bones” by North Port police, did not reveal a cause or manner of his death. 

The manhunt for Brian Laundrie is officially over. The body that was found Wednesday is indeed the only person of interest in the Gabby Petito case, officials say.

“This protesting. This witch hunt. This mob-style crucifixion of Chris and Roberta is just wrong. Enough is enough,” attorney Steven Bertolino said of protesters who remain outside Brian Laundrie's parents' home.
