Gabby Petito and her fiancé Brian Laundrie headed off on the trip of a lifetime, a van adventure across the US, last month.  They’re social media influencers with more than a million followers between them.

 

Laundrie arrived home without Gabby earlier this month, while her reported her missing on September 11.  Her body was found at a national park in Wyoming last weekend.  Laundrie is now missing.

 

We’re joined by Walt Buteau, a reporter from WFLA TV in Florida who tells us police have now confirmed the cause of Gabby’s death was homicide.  The search for Laundrie has been escalated.  What made a seemingly happy couple detach and destroy their idyllic life?
