A body "consistent with the description" of Petito was discovered on Sunday after the woman had been reported missing on September 11th.
The attorney for the Petito family confirmed to Insider on Tuesday that the human remains found near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming belong to Gabby Petito.
The death has been ruled a homicide by Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue. The cause of death remains pending until the completion of the autopsy.
The 22-year-old vlogger had been on a cross-country trip with her fiance Brian Laundrie in their 2012 Ford Transit Van. Laundrie returned to his family's home in Florida on September 1st without Gabby and remains the primary suspect. It wasn't until ten days after he returned that she was reported missing.
The couple was last seen together on August 12th when a police officer responded to a domestic incident outside of Moab, Utah. In the police footage, Gabby is visibly distressed and the officer instructed the couple to separate for the night. Social media posts of their journey would continue to go up, until abruptly stopping in late August.
Gabby Petito's mother received her last text from her daughter on August 30th. Her mother thought the text was odd as it referred to her grandfather as 'Stan,' which was not something she knew Gabby to do. Her mother fears that that final text was not actually sent by her daughter.

Search for Fiancé of Gabby Petito, Brian Laundrie, Resumes in Florida Wilderness
The FBI searched the Laundrie's house on Monday, but Brian Laundrie remains missing and hasn't been seen since September 14th. Brian's parents believe he may have gone to Carlton Reserve in Sarasota County, Florida. The 24,565-acre reserve is difficult terrain to traverse as a large portion of it is seasonal wetlands.
Authorities got a break in their search for Gabby Petito's body when two bloggers, also from Florida, posted a video of what they believed was Petito's Ford Transit van alongside the road. The footage, from August 27th, was taken in the Bridger-Teton National Forest area and gave search parties a firm location to her potential whereabouts.
