[Asia News = Reporter Reakkana] Human remains found in a Florida park on Wednesday are those of Brian Laundrie, the fiancé of murdered blogger Gabby Petito, the FBI says. BBC reported that the body of Mr. Laundrie, who had been missing for over a month, was identified using dental records.

Mr. Laundrie, who was a person of interest in Gabby Petito's death, returned to Florida last month from a joint road trip without his partner.``On October 21, 2021, a comparison of dental records confirmed that the human remains found at the T Mabry Carlton Jr Memorial Reserve and Myakkahatchee Creed Environmental Park are those of Brian Laundrie," the FBI said in a statement on Thursday. On Wednesday, officials said that the remains had been discovered in a part of the park that until recently had been underwater. Other items, including a backpack and notebook belonging to Brian, were also found during the search.


The case of Ms. Petito, 22, and Mr. Laundrie, 23, sparked national media attention. The couple had spent their summer on a road trip through national parks, documenting their nomadic "van life" trip on social media. Meanwhile, Mr. Laundrie wasn't charged with crimes relating to Ms Petito's killing. However, the FBI issued a federal arrest warrant and charged him with fraudulently using her debit card after her death.
