Back in October, the FBI confirmed that the remains of Brian Laundrie were found after a weeks-long manhunt for him concluded. Laundrie was the only person of interest in the disappearance and death case of travel influencer Gabby Petito.

Laundrie's parents were informed of the cause and manner of his death before the family's attorney provided the information to news outlets.
