It was situated just east of where the body, which was "consistent with Gabby's description" was located at the Spread Creek Dispersed Campsite.

It is not clear when the cross, seemingly dedicated to the 22-year-old travel vlogger according to a , was created.

Remnants of law enforcement's search efforts also remained around the campsite, that was been closed to the public since last Saturday.

The ";free-spirited" Long Island native Petito was last seen on August 24, checking out of a hotel with fiancé Brian Laundrie in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

The couple had been traveling across America since July with Laundrie before she went missing - and he mysteriously returned home without her.

After lawyering up and refusing to cooperate with police, he then vanished after telling his parents he was heading for a hike on September 14.

A huge search operation is still underway for the 23-year-old as forensic experts comb his hard drives for clues.

Cops swarmed the Laundrie family home on Monday morning and bundled his parents into a police van, just hours after the remains believed to be Petito were found.

The FBI announced a "search warrant" twice before they removed  from the home.

But it is feared - as Laundrie was allowed to roam free.

Former Miami-Dade homicide detective Pat Diaz suggested a search warrant could've been secured for Petito's missing case without suspicion of a crime.

"Why would you [try to] get consent from the guy, and not get a search warrant?" Diaz asked on Sunday, according to .

"You can get a search warrant for everything in that house, including his laptop."

LAUNDRIE AT LARGE

Diaz said that examining Laundrie's electronics on the day Petito was reported missing could've given some insight as to where she was located.

He said this type of probe could have been possible with Laundrie refusing to talk.

Just weeks before Petito's disappearance, the pair had been stopped by police and  that had been reported.

Gabby revealed through tears that the two had been fighting, citing "personal issues" between the two.
