In early 2021, Gabby Petito and her fiance Brian Laundrie embarked on a cross-country road trip across the United States, documenting their journey on social media. However, the adventure took a tragic turn. In late August, Gabby mysteriously disappeared. After her family reported her missing, a nationwide search began. In mid-September, Gabby's remains were found in Wyoming, and her death was ruled a homicide. Brian Laundrie, initially a person of interest, returned home without Gabby and soon disappeared. In October, his remains were found in a Florida nature reserve, along with a notebook in which he claimed responsibility for Gabby's death.
