The FBI\u2019s primary focus throughout the investigation was to bring justice to Gabby and her family. The public\u2019s role in helping us in this endeavor was invaluable as the investigation was covered in the media around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOn behalf of the FBI, I want to express my deepest appreciation to the public for the thousands of tips that were provided during the investigation, and to our local, state and federal law enforcement partners for their work throughout the investigation,\u201d Schneider added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/gabby-petito-brian-laundrie-fbi-investigation-close\">reported<\/a>, \u201cPetito\u2019s family was in&nbsp;Florida&nbsp;on Thursday morning, roughly four months after their daughter was found&nbsp;strangled&nbsp;to&nbsp;death&nbsp;in Wyoming. An attorney representing Laundrie\u2019s family said they had reached an agreement about how the couple\u2019s property \u2013 including a notebook found with his remains \u2013 will be distributed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The FBI noted a timeline of the events, including the information that \u201cinvestigators found human remains later confirmed to be Mr. Laundrie, along with a backpack, notebook, and a revolver. A review of the notebook revealed written statements by Mr. Laundrie claiming responsibility for Ms. Petito\u2019s death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was confirmed that Laundrie \u201cdied of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Petito\/Schmidt family lawyer Rick Stafford said in a Friday statement, \u201cGabby\u2019s family would like to thank the FBI, specifically the Wyoming, Denver, New York and Tampa offices, all of their task force members and their assisting agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Stafford continued, \u201cGabby\u2019s family would like to thank the FBI\u2019s Victim Services Department for all they have done for them. Victim Services has been there for support from the earliest stages of this investigation and helped their entire family navigate through the worst moments of their lives.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Stafford added, \u201cWe truly appreciate the FBI\u2019s diligent and painstaking efforts in this extremely complicated case. The quality and quantity of the facts and information collected by the FBI leave no doubt that Brian Laundrie murdered Gabby.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Laundrie attorney Steven Bertolino said the event \u201chas caused enormous emotional pain and suffering to all who loved either or both\u201d Petito and Laundrie. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe can only hope that with today\u2019s closure of the case each family can begin to heal and move forward and find peace in and with the memories of their children. May Gabby and Brian both rest in peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-coroner-says-gabby-petito-died-of-strangulation-reveals-new-details-about-petito\">reported<\/a>, \u201cPetito was on a cross-country road trip with boyfriend Brian Laundrie, 23, before she was reported missing by her family and then eventually found dead. The pair often used social media to document their travels.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In October, Laundrie\u2019s remains were discovered in the area of Florida\u2019s Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gabby-petito-case-human-remains-found-in-florida-reserve-near-items-belonging-to-brian-laundrie-coroner-called\">The Daily Wire<\/a>&nbsp;reported:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHuman remains were found in the same area where personal belongings were found of Brian Laundrie, Gabby Petito\u2019s fianc\u00e9 who\u2019s been missing for over a month, officials said Wednesday,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/brian-laundrie-s-personal-items-found-florida-nature-reserve-medical-n1281975\">per NBC News<\/a>. \u201cA senior law enforcement official says what appears to be partial human remains have been found in the Carlton Reserve in a location that was previously underwater. There is no confirmation the remains belong to Laundrie.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe remains were found near a backpack, according to this source, which may be consistent with the type of items Laundrie may have had in his possession,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cBefore Laundrie\u2019s remains were found, and the search for Petito intensified,&nbsp;the 23-year-old was reported missing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe was named a \u2018person of interest\u2019 in the Petito case, and his family home was raided by the FBI and reportedly declared a \u2018crime scene.\u2019 An arrest warrant was issued for Laundrie on September 23, not for Petito\u2019s death, but for allegedly using stolen bank cards,\u201d The Daily Wire noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
