And Helicopter Circling above as teams went in there to search for 23yearold Brian Laundrie. Why were they here . That was the latest development. After friday the Laundrie Called Police to say they were concerned on his whereabouts. The last time they had seen him was tuesday. He had a Hiking Bag and said he would be coming here to this reserve. Its 25,000 acres of a Wildlife Reserve that is lush, it is hot and humid and certainly poeses lot of challenges if youre in this area trying find someone. That was the latest development as of friday. Of course, weve learned new information since then that they have found a body in wyoming. Still no details as to the age, the gender or the identity of who that may be, but remember, it was the Grand Teton National Park where you had a lot of Search Teams looking for 22yearold Gabby Petito because that was the last that they had sort of pinned her to on the whereabouts. So that is a major development, and within the next few minutes, we expect to hear from the fbi who have said that they have an update to provide the case. 6 00 p. M. Eastern time is when we expect that, so any minute now. There has been development after development, and im getting a sense of frustration among the community here because, you know, it was tuesday that the Laundrie Family said they last had a good idea of the whereabouts of Brian Laundrie, and it wasnt until friday that it was reported. So, of course, a lot of people are hoping they can find Brian Laundrie to get more answers regarding Gabby Petito. But right now a lot of eyes right here and a lot of eyes on wyoming where we are waiting to hear the latest on the development given that a body has been found in the very area where Search Teams were looking for 22yearold Gabby Petito. Two different Search Teams, two missing persons, and a lot of questions yet to be answered. Certainly. Leyla santiago, thank you for bringing us the latest. Randi kaye has been following this story from the start. Reporter hello, hello, and good morning. It is really nice and sunny today. Reporter 22yearold Gabby Petito in happier times, documenting her travels with her Fiance Crosscountry on Social Media. But along the way, the trip turned into something else. Weve just been fighting this morning. Some personal issues. Reporter police in moab, utah released this Body Cam Video after someone called them August 12 to report disorderly conduct regarding gabby and her fiance, Brian Laundrie. The police noted the couple engaged in some sort of altercation. Gabby admitted she struggled with ocd. Why wouldnt he let you in the car . Because you have ocd . He told me i need to calm down, but im perfectly calm. Reporter the Police Report described her as confused, emotional and manic. The officers didnt fmake any charges but suggested they separate for the night. Beyond that, i dont know what it has to do with the disappearance. Reporter the two set out fof New York in Gabbys Transit Van with florida plates. Their plan, according to police, was to drive all the way to yellowstone national park, but they never made it. We also learned gabby was reportedly last seen in this Salt Lake City hotel on august 24. That same day, the Family Attorney said she facetimed with her mom, telling them she was leaving utah and heading to the grand tetons. The following day gabby texted multiple times with her mom, likely from the grand tetons. Friday the final text with her mom. They doubt she actually wrote it. Then on august 31, brian showed up at his home he shares with his family in gabbys White Van. Two people went on a trip and one person returned. That person who returned isnt providing any information. Reporter Gabbys Family is desperate for answers. Whatever you can do to make sure my daughter comes home, im asking for that help. There is nothing else that matters to me now. This girl right here, this is what matters. That is it. Reporter Brian Laundrie, gabbys fiance, isnt talking. Hes hired a lawyer and has not spoken with Gabbys Family or police. His own sister told abc she hasnt even spoken with her brother. All i want is for her to come home Safe And Sound and for this to be just a big misunderstanding. Reporter Cassie Laundrie told Abc Gabby and her brother had been known to fight. Typical of both of them, whenever they would fight, they would take a little break and come back and be fine. Reporter the fbi in denver has also joined the search, aiding fbi and local authorities in wyoming and utah. But as the hours and days tick by, the search for answers grows and doubts are beginning to creep in. My gut tells me that something bad happened. And im never going to be able to hold my Baby Girl again. Reporter right now it is still a missing Person Investigation since police have no evidence of a crime. We dont know what happened. You know, we dont know where shes at, we dont know if a crime has been committed. Reporter randy ki kaye, cnn northport, florida. I want to bring in Analyst Andy barks dale and also senior analyst Joey Jackson. Thank you both for coming on to talk about this. We are waiting for a Press Conference, so we might have to interrupt this segment. Andy, if this indeed is gabbys body, this case just changed significantly. Absolutely. If if and i pray that its not, but lets be realistic. If this is gabby, then that gives Police Something to work with. The Forensics Part of this then becomes crucial. You can establish how the homicide occurred. You can collect other evidence, possibly dna, and get to work changing it from a missing person to a homicide investigation. Its just agonizing, you have to imagine, for the family, joey, with this latest news and not knowing, and of course we do expect an update soon, but its just such a difficult situation. If this is Gabby Petito, and we do not know, does this give police probable cause to arrest her fiance Brian Laundrie as a suspect . Of course, he is missing right now, but if they are able to locate him alive, should he be arrested as a suspect . Theres no question. Pamela, good evening to you. If you have to interrupt me, by all means, i know were going to the Press Conference. This is a Game Changer, as you noted, and with respect to them finding a body, understand that in order for the police to make an arrest, you dont need to demonstrate someone is guilty, you dont need to demonstrate that they absolutely did anything, you just need reason to believe that a crime was committed and the person who is being accused and arrested is the one you believe to have done it. So without question, that would give them the probable cause to go and arrest him. There will be other evidence, and anthony alluded to some of that as well. You know theyre going to do a sweep of that whole area where they found her. There will be a Treasure Trove of information not only as to dna but potentially cause of death, right, when the forensic examiners do an autopsy on the body. Theyll be able to determine how she died, right . Theyll be able to make other assessments as evidentiary issues concerning the state of the body, which we dont know, right . But i think that will be very important. In addition to that, pamela, briefly, remember here, we have that digital blueprint, right . There is so much evidence that is circumstantial. Th this was a Crosscountry Trip and there was a Blueprint Cataloging the trip. At some point it stopped. The question is why . What were the circumstances that led it to stop . What did her Text Messages say . Did her Phone Lead them to the location he found her . And to end this, right, he will go from A Person Of Interest, he being mr. Laundrie, the person who accompanied her, A Person Of Interest to a defendant in a criminal case. Andy, this is a national park, 23,000 acres where this body was found. Does it seem that perhaps more information may have come in to direct researchers to this specific location . I believe so, and im going to go back to what joey was saying. When you have something like this, you can rely on technology. Cell phone records, you can track cell phones, so there are a lot of things with technology that could help police figure out where someone is or where they were. So, yeah, thats a lot of territory to have a search, but i think that its wonderful somehow Law Enforcement used what they had on hand to locate this body. And how does this change the search for Brian Laundrie, anthony, as joey just pointed out, this could be a Game Changer if this is Gabby Petitos body. How would this affect the search for him . This goes from a boyfriend to a suspect. Thats a big difference. Law enforcement then can pour it on, you can get the marshals involved. You already have the fbi. You have every jurisdiction looking for mr. Laundrie, and whether or not this is easy, it has to be done. Weve got to find him. What do you make, joey, of Laundries Family . Apparently he had left on tuesday but they did not report to the police oh, were going to the Press Koconference now. Lets listen in. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Well have time for a brief statement. Because this is an ongoing investigation, we wont have time for questions. Please. Good afternoon. My name is charles jones. Im the supervisory senior Resident Agent here in wyoming for fbi denver. Standing with me here today are acting chief Ranger Matt Wilbur with the national park service, Hunter Bailey who is chief of the investigative services branch. We also have Sheriff Matt Carr and Jackson Police Chief michelle weber. First and foremost, on behalf of the fbi personnel and our partners, i would like to extend sincere and heartfelt condolences to Gabbys Family. Joe and Tara Petito and jim and nicole smith. As every parent can imagine, this is an incredibly difficult time for the family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. We ask that you all respect the privacy as they mourn the loss of their daughter. As you are aware, fbi personnel in coordination with our partners at national park service, the forest service, Teton CountySheriffs Office and Jackson Police Department have been conducting investigative activity in the vicinity of the Spread Creek dispersed Camping Area. Earlier today Human Remains were discovered consistent with the description of Gabrielle Gabby Petit petito. Full forensic examination has not been concluded to confirm that is her 100 , but her family has been notified. Cause of death has not been confirmed at this time. We appreciate your continued Support And Patience as we work on this process. The grand Teton Campsite will be closed until further notice. This is an active investigation, so we ask that everyone maintain distance from Law Enforcement personnel and equipment, vehicles and lawful activity for their own safety as well as respect for our Work And Privacy for Gabbys Family. We appreciate the tremendous support from The Public. The Publics Response for tips has been remarkable. We continue to ask anyone who used the Spread CreekCamp Area from August 17 to august 30, anyone who may have had contact with gabby or her boyfriend or seen their vehicle in that area, please share any new information with the fbi at tips. Fbi. Gov. Or 1800callfbi. And finally the Denver Field Office is 3036297171. Videos and photos can also be uploaded at fbi d. Gov photos. We thank the Police Department for their diligence in this investigation. They gathered their resources in a short period of time, and they have knowledge of the rugged terrain were dealing with which made this process more difficult. We appreciate the Talent And Skill of the rescue team. We also thank the community of jackson and surrounding areas for their hospitality and for accommodating Law Enforcement personnel in the area. In order to conduct a process and successful prosecution should it be necessary, we have no additional comments. We appreciate your Cooperation And Respect for Gabbys Family and loved ones during this difficult time. Thank you. Can you tell us what led you to that Camp Site in particular . Its an ongoing investigation. Unfortunately, we Cant Answer questions at this time. We just heard a very sad update from the fbi that Human Remains have been discovered consistent with the description of Gabby Petito in grand teton. We just heard there from the agent that the cause of death has not been determined at this time. They are waiting for final confirmation that what they found, the body, the Human Remains, that that is indeed Gabby Petito. But as we just heard there from the fbi, the remains discovered are consistent with the description of Gabby Petito and her family has been notified about this. Our hearts, our thoughts are with her family during this incredibly difficult time. I want to bring back Joey Jackson and Anthony Barksdale. Given this significant development that we just heard there, joey. Yeah. Pamela, this is very significant in so many particulars, but lets begin with one thats very important. We know that the boyfriend apparently came back home to florida. He came back home in her absence, and then the questions began. At that point she was considered missing. We know also, pam, the police wanted to speak to him. He has a right to remain silent under the fifth amendment. He exercised that right, right, even as A Person Of Interest and therefore did not speak. In the absence of any information that he would have given the police that could have narrowed down where she was, we have top Law Enforcement, of course, the federal government in addition to other agencies which assisted them that got the body. Now that were here, he goes from A Person Of Interest to a criminal defendant. Make no mistake about it, this now goes from a missing Persons Investigation to a homicide investigation. That now gives the police the ability to go and get him. We also know, pam, that he apparently is missing or hes hiding or some such thing, we dont know his exact location. There is an imperative for Law Enforcement to find him. Last point. Remember that the police, in order to make an arrest, do not need every shred of information that would indicate his guilt. They just need reason to believe that a crime was committed, they have that, and that he was the one that committed it. Potentially he was the last person to see her alive, and if that evidence will hold up, why is he running besides consciousness of guilt . Meaning if you didnt do anything, why cant we find you . Boy, oh, boy, does this look like it is pointing in his direction as a nefarious act. I want to go to you, anthony, to get your thoughts on what he just laid out. This turns the fiance into a suspect. That means the search for him as escalated. They can bring more Law Enforcement in like marshals to track him down. One thing that stood out to me, and i dont know whether to read into it or not, was that the fbi there said Human Remains. He did not say body. Should we read into that at all . Yes. There are things, decomposition that can occur. Its something i just dont want to say out of respect for the family. But over time things happen to a body. I really cant add much there, but i can say that Joeys Analysis was spot on on each issue that we have to deal with moving forward. Right. Its just so sad, and you just think about their family as they absorb this information, that Human Remains that were discovered there in grand teton consistent with the description of Gabby Petito as thiS Search has been going on. I want to bring in randi kaye. She has been covering this story from the very beginning. She joins us now by phone. What can you tell us, randi . Pamela, i was listening to that Press Conference as you were. I was listening to it out west. We are in utah making our way to wyoming and the grand tetons. We are basically replaying her steps, Gabby Petitos steps with her fiance as they made their way to wyoming, they wanted to go to yellowstone. We now know they didnt get there. She was last seen on august 24, spoke to a Staff Member there who confirmed that Fbi And Police officers had come to that hotel recently as part of this investigation. So as you know, theyve been getting more and more information about this Spread Creek dispersed Camping Area as its called in Teton County. Thats where the Human Remains were found consistent with the description of Gabby Petito. Not 100 confirmed, but the description matched. They were searching that Camping Area, the united Parks Service was installed, police, they were all Conducting Ground Searches at that Camping Area, and they were asking for help. They were asking for tips, anybody who might have seen gabby and her fiance between August 27 and august 30. So whether or not they got a solid tip, were not sure exactly what brought them there, but certainly they have had some movement in this case, certainly. So we know that they left the new York Area together on July 2nd and we know that he returned to florida in her White Van on the 1st of september, and then she was reported missing on september 11. We also know she was in touch with her parents. Certainly her mom along the way. On the 24th of august, she told her mom she was leaving utah and heading to the Grand Teton National Park which is where these remains were discovered. So the last post she made, if it was indeed her posting, or her indeed texting her mom, we dont know that for sure, her family doesnt know that for sure, but her last post on her Instagram Page is August 26 from an Arts And EntertainmentVenue South of this campground. Somehow they made their way there from this arts venue. A lot more questions for Law Enforcement, for the fbi in this case. The fbi didnt take any questions but they did give the significant development that humanry mains have been found that matched the description of Gabby Petito. Randi kaye, thank you for bringing us up to date. Whats been going on with this case up to now. I want to bring in brian stelter. Brian, you heard randi there talk about her last post and how theres been essentially this digital trail throughout her travels there with her fiance that abruptly ended in late august. What was the role that Social Media has played. Right, and the images were seen on the screen of this happy young couple living a dream life. In the pandemic era, this idea of going out and renting or buying a van across the country, its a fantasy for so many young people, and Gabby Petito was living that fantasy. And yet, some of what we learned in recent days challenges that dream that was posted on instagram, some of the reports about the cup possibly fighting, some report from observers who said they saw a dispute in the relationship. So we see these beautiful images from instagram being contradicted by the ugly reality. Because of Social Media, the timeline here is very clear and the timeline is key. Both police and armchair investigators have a very detailed timeline. As randi said, that last post on august 25th, that was almost a month ago at this point. When we hear authorities on the Scene Talk about Human Remains, we have to remember were talking about possibly a nearly monthold crime that has happened here. That also relates to the timeline in florida of the fiance arriving on september 1st. A lot of time has passed since something happened, something went wrong in wyoming. I think it was notable to hear the Authorities Today thanking The Public for so many tips. They said, we appreciate the tremendous support. The response has been remarkable. Pamela, i think thats partly a response to the outpouring on tiktok. They are trying to join in this experience that wasnt possible 10 or 20 years ago. Good, bad, time will tell, but i wonder why authorities were led to this Location Today in this national park was possibly because of amateur tips. I think time will tell, but weve had so many people going through their phones, going to their cameras trying to see, hey, i was in the grand Teton Park in late august. Did i happen to see that van . Thats the kind of Crowd Sourcing were seeing when it comes to criminal investigations. Yeah, its remarkable the role that these digital detectives, if you want to call them that, played in this case, and i think were going to learn more about the role that they played. But youre right, the fbi made a point to mention that, to mention The Public and the Publics Role in all of this. If you could, tell us a little bit more about how that played out and why this story gained so much attention to fast, how Social Media gained traction so quickly. Most of it had to do with people were home from the pandemic and bored with nothing to do. When you can talk about true crime, real news, that might be more interesting than watching a fictional show. I think there is an element of truth to that in the same way that court cases and Crime Stories have always captured The Publics attention. The difference between now and 20 years ago, you can scroll through the victims Instagram Feed and you think you get to know her through instagram. Ive also seen troubling versions of this, pamela. People may take it too far trying to reach conclusions before any conclusions can be reached. People are speculating about the fiance wearing a necklace, and then suddenly not wearing a necklace in the instagram photos. Well see if theres anything, but its that kind of attempt to put the Puzzle Pieces together in ways that may not fit that may be a negative for investigators, for authorities. I noticed on friday when the search was beginning in northport, the Northport Police said, please, we ask for calm because there was so much chatter and so much interest. There is certainly an upside here. There could be a downside as well. Right, especially when youre trying to filter through all the tips, whats credible, whats not if youre Law Enforcement. Its such an interesting mixed picture about the role Social Media played in all this. Brian stelter, thank you for bringing on your Analysis And Perspective of this case. I want to go back to our panel now. We have the former baltimore acting Police Commissioner and cnn Law Enforcement analyst, Anthony Barksdale and senior analyst Joey Jackson. Commissioner barksdale, do you think the social frenzy made the detectives jobs easier or harder . I think the Social Media, tiktok, instagram, twitter, whoever, is a plus for Law Enforcement. Imagine that someone you love was a Homicide Victim and you have thousands of people who dont know your relative now making that important to them. So if youre going to spend time on Social Media and youre using that time during the homicide of swurnl, then i think its a plus. What information comes into Law Enforcement, they still must have evidence, and yes, it can be a lot sometimes, but you have to work through it. I dont see it as being a negative. I see it as a plus. How do you see it, joey . Theres no question. Im in accord with anthony on this for the following reasons. When you look at prosecuting this case, pam, youre going to look at that blueprint, Youll Look at Social Media. Watch what that does with respect to evidence was established. There was a Crosscountry Trip taken. That trip was cataloged at every regard. Were in this loeblgz, this is what were doing. You have a blueprint of what was occurring, you have that day and the next day and the next day. At some point that blueprint disappeared. We can all understand why. This is a case of circumstantial evidence. There are some crimes committed in the light of day. There are other crimes committed Na NarmParks Twrr YYou Havea Person who was very much alive and wonderful and having the time of her life, and it went cold. It went cold, the prosecutor is going to say, at the hands of a person. Prosecutors are going to say the reason the trail went cold is because he killed her, and lets talk about why. Then theyll get into other issues that were not tracking now, but its forensic to the cause of death to isolate, you know what . There is a thely. They want to know what happened here, so i think you know something about it. The fbi says that Human Remains have been found in the search for Gabby Petito and said that those remains match the description of petito. Theyre still waiting for word on Brian Laundrie.

Back tonight with Breaking News, officials say the body found in Grand Teton National Park matches the description of Gabby Petito, the 22yearold who went missing on a Crosscountry Road Trip with her fiance. Earlier today Human Remains were discovered consistent with the description of gabrielle Gabby Petito. Full forensic investigation has not been completed to confirm 100 that we found gabby, but her family has been notified of this discovery. The cause of death has not been determined at this time. Cnns Leyla Santiago joins me now from northport, florida. Leyla, what are police saying given this new development . We just received a statement from Northport Police. In it they say, and i quote, we are saddened and heartbroken to learn that gabby has been found deceased. Our focus from the start with the fbi and national partners has been to bring her home. We will continue to work with the fbi in the search for more answers. And that last part is key, right, the search for more answers. There are still a lot of questions left unanswered. I can tell you that earlier today we watched as they wrapped up the search for the evening, just for today here, a little earlier than they had wrapped up yesterday. We were here watching as we saw Helicopters Circle over, Canine Units come out, all sorts of equipment to really focus the S Search here in this Wildlife Reserve, 23,000 acres, where the Laundrie Family claims that they believe their son is. According to police on friday, they reported him missing, saying they were concerned about his whereabouts and said that tuesday was last time they had seen him with a Hiking Backpack and intended to come here to go on a hike. Now, police have not said that in that conversation with the Laundrie Family that they were able to get any more details with information on what happened to gabby, because that will be the central question now. What caused this . What happened . Theyre hoping in finding Brian Laundrie that they will be able to get more answers as to what led to this death, to this disappearance of both of them now. Pamela . How does this change the search for Brian Laundrie . Reporter so the search will continue according to one of the teams we were talking to that came out of here. Brian laundrie had a lot of focus on the home where he lived with his family as well as with his faiance, Gabby Petito. I can tell you that area has been blocked off. Theyve also had some folks there that are yelling some not so nice things and questioning the family that lives there as they were searching for Gabby Petito. So the search, according to at least one team that we talked to, will continue, and a big part of that is trying to get to the root of where is Brian Laundrie today and what caused all of this . What happened . Still so many questions. As you point out, the search is continuing, escalating tonight for Brian Laundrie, the fiance of gabby petipetito. Thank you so much, leyla. I want to back to senior legal Law EnforcementAnthony Barksdale and senior legal analyst Joey Jackson. Anthony, im going to go to you. We just lost joey. How does this change things . It changes things now because its no longer, oh, the boyfriend, oh, the girlfriend. We now have a homicide. And it appears hes The Last One who saw her, so he now becomes more than A Person Of Interest. It leans more towards a suspect. So Law Enforcement can start to apply even more of their efforts towards finding him, loebting him. He needs to be talked to. We need to talk to him and find out what he knows about this homicide. So far he has not spoken to Law Enforcement in this case, and his family reported on friday that he was last seen on tuesday, that he was seen with a Hiking Backpack and theyre looking for him right now as we speak. If you would, walk us through what additional resources, how this has escalated the search for him, what can police now do given this significant development . Well, you want to start looking at what you can find on Subpoena Phone records. You can serve Search Warrants on certain things that you deem necessary to the investigation. Look for more evidence. So that is the key. Look for evidence while at the same time look for him. So youre doing two things, and i believe that there is enough Law Enforcement involved at the federal level, the state and local level now that this case will be closed. I believe theyre going to close this case. Wow. If you would, just walk us through given your experience what the challenges might be where you have so much going on, right, that you have the investigation going on there in wyoming after the body was found that matches a description of Gabby Petito, and then you also have thiS Search that is ongoing there in florida, and there is a lot of pieces to the puzzle that still need to be put together. What is that like in terms of coordinating with Law Enforcement. What are the challenges in that . A big thing is delegation. Who is responsible for what . Which Forensics Team has to work certain Crime Evidence . Who is doing the search for the boyfriend . How are we doing whats delegated . It rises and goes to one central spot, whatever detective is assigned this case, whatever prosecutor is working with the Police Department, the information goes to them. So, yeah, its a lot of moving parts, but you delegate those to the appropriate resources and thats how it works. But you have to stay on top of it. And No Doubt they will. And we are staying on top of it, every new development, and this latest significant development that were just learning about tonight, that the fbi is saying a body has been found in the search that matches the description of Gabby Petito. Anthony barksdale, thank you. Were going to take a quick break and well be right back. Wealth is your first big investment. Worth is a partner to help share the load. Wealth is saving a little extra.

Fbi officials say the body found in Grand Teton National Park matches the description of Gabby Petito. Shes the 22yearold who went missing during a Crosscountry Road Trip with her fiance, Brian Laundrie. Right now Law Enforcement iS Searching for him. Theyve been searching for him for several days now. Joining me now on our breaking News Tonight is lawrence cobalinski, professor of Forensic Science at john justice. Thank you for joining me. Officials said they found Human Remains that match the description of Gabby Petito. What has to happen before they make a positive identification in this case . Well, they already know her age, 22. They know her height, her weight. They know of her gender. Of course, they obviously are going to be looking for a tattoo. I believe she has a tattoo on her right arm, the inside of her right arm. They know her hair color, they know her eye color. They certainly can check Dental Records, although that takes some time, and they certainly can do dna testing, and that takes some time. Its not clear what the condition of the body is, whether it was exposed to the environment for a certain period of time. They dont know exactly that length of time, but the autopsy will reveal a great deal and allow a positive identification to be made. The fact that they already consulted with Gabby Petitos family indicates that they have a fairly good idea that it is her. Now, of course, the autopsy is going to declare a cause of death. Now, we can only speculate at this point what the cause of death might be. It might be blunt Force Trauma, for example, it might be strangulation. And, of course, even the autopsy is not going to complete the analysis. There needs to be a Toxicology Report that takes additional time to which, of course, mr. Laundrie may say she died of an accident and he got frightened and ran. So thats all up to the Medical Examiner at this point. The last time Gabby Facetimed with her mother was august 24. There were subsequent Text Messages but no eyes on her after that date. Other than i think an Instagram Post why what kind of complications are there given that timing and the fact this is a Wilderness Area . Talk me through the considerations ahead for investigators in finding the cause of death. I think with that length of time, we dont know show died on august 24th. It could have been sometime after that but for that length of time exposure of a body to the environment could result in complete skeletonization. A lot of Soft Tissue will be gone. So its not a simple matter to say it looked the body looked like it could be gabby. You need more analysis than simply that. They described it as Human Remains. I dont know if that really indicates a certain level of decomposition or not but deceased around The End of august i would expect to have serious decomposition in that body making the identification that much more difficult. But the way we do Dna Analysis now it can be done on different kinds of tissues including bone and the body will be identified in a very quick time. They will put a high priority on the analysis. And as i said even Dental Records could reveal. The tattoo alone could reveal that this is gabby. It is going to be observation. If the body is intact at least a part where the tattoo was made then the coroner, the Medical Examiner will declare that it is her. We just again our thoughts and hearts, her family, given the devastating news from the fbi. Theyre waiting for the formal confirmation and also as we just discussed the cause of death. Given what you laid out with the potential for significant decomposition what are the challenges of determining whether it was an accident or if it was a homicide . If we lets assume theres complete skeletonization. May not be the case. Because in a dry environment you can get a mummyification but blunt Force Trauma can be seen in bones. Strangulation can be seen in damage to the Hyoid Bone in the neck so the coroner will still be able to determine a cause of death even if its advanced decomposition. How long do you think this could take to find out more . The autopsy can be done in a matter of a few hours, a couple of hours. Dna is going to take longer but this is a top high Priority Case and can be done less than a day. Theres a rapid identification that could be made as soon as they can extract dna from bone, less than a day. Dental records if they have her prior Dental Records, they may have that already and would be a simple comparison. This could be done very quickly. My goodness. Just a significant development in this case. Is there anything else that we did not talk about that you think is important to convey . I think like in any criminal matter theres a suspect, a suspect that has risen to the top. He may be A Person Of Interest but he certainly it is very peculiar to disappear why it is one thing to not talk to the police because the attorney advised him not to but to disappear when the fbi is looking for him, you put two and two together and you get four. Right. So i think this case i agree with the commissioner. This case will be resolved fairly quickly. Thank you so much, professor kobilinsky.
