What Happened to Gabby Petito? Inside Her Relationship With Brian Laundrie & Cause of Death

  • Gabby Petito, 22, died in August 2021 during a nationwide road trip she was taking with her fiancé Brian Laundrie.
  • Petito disappeared less than two months into the road trip, sparking public interest after Laundrie returned alone to Florida and she was reported missing on September 11.
  • On September 19, her body was discovered in Wyoming, and an autopsy determined the cause of death to be homicide resulting from blunt-force trauma to the head and neck, as well as manual strangulation.
  • Authorities blamed Laundrie based on a June 2022 confession in his notebook, where he admitted killing Petito and expressed he was ending his own life due to his inability to live without her.
  • Laundrie was never charged and was found dead in October 2021 from a self-inflicted gunshot in Florida less than a month after Petito's death was estimated to have occurred.
