Brian Laundrie & Gabby Petito ‘murder-suicide very likely because of domestic violence’ & 4 other factors, experts says

POLICE have a strong case for a Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito murder-suicide conclusion due to domestic violence and four other factors, an expert has exclusively told The Sun.

The skeletal remains of Laundrie, 23, were found in Myakkahatchee Creek Park in Florida on October 20 in a grassy stretch of land that had, for weeks before the discovery, been submerged in storm waters.

As reported, the bones were found weeks after he went missing from his parents' home - following the discovery of his fiance Gabby Petito's body near a campsite in Wyoming.

The FBI and North Point Police said Laundrie was the only person of interest in the case, after he went on a cross-country camping trip with the 22-year-old and returned with her van alone.

An autopsy revealed Gabby died by strangulation, but a report for Laundrie came back inconclusive, and his remains are now being analyzed further.

Dr. Erin Kimmerle, a forensic anthropologist based in South Florida, told The Sun exclusively: "There seems to be an overwhelming amount of evidence linking the two cases, including a history of domestic violence.

"Add to that witnesses who place them together, the well documented timeline, GPS data from their cars, and cell phone records.

"It seems there is a strong circumstantial case for a murder-suicide."

Discussing Laundrie's autopsy results, she said: "Time since death is estimated as the last time the person was seen alive.

"The question is, is the level of decomposition consistent with that time frame. And in this case, it is."
