Florida police say the Gabby Petito case is officially a criminal investigation

Natalie Musumeci 2 hours ago

Excerpt:

Florida police said for the first time on Tuesday that the Gabby Petito case was now officially a criminal investigation as authorities continue to search for her missing fiancé, Brian Laundrie.

"This is an FBI-led criminal investigation and North Port Police are assisting our federal partner in any way we can to bring this investigation to a close," Josh Taylor, a spokesperson for Florida's North Port Police Department, said in a statement.

Previously, the North Port Police Department was the lead investigating law-enforcement agency in the case, which has gripped the nation.

On Monday, the FBI raided the North Port home where Laundrie and Petito lived with Laundrie's parents after investigators announced on Sunday that a body believed to be Petito's was discovered at a campsite in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest.

Also his checking/banking accounts?

Seems there are several ways to find Brian.

As for his bank accounts, I'd guess that they haven't been touched, but I would suspect that his parents are secretly supporting him. They shielded him from direct interrogations by LEAs. They are likely accomplices to obstruction of justice. LEAs should monitor the parents' financial activity.
