A body has been recovered in the Wyoming forest where authorities have been searching for days for missing Long Island native Gabby Petito, The Post has confirmed.
“I can confirm that the coroner’s officer was dispatched by a deputy coroner on the scene to recover a body that was found in the forest,” Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue said Sunday, referring to Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the gender of the body or whether it is the 22-year-old Blue Point native, who vanished late last month while on a cross-country trip with her boyfriend.
The coroner’s van was spotted arriving at the search command center at Grand Teton National Park, where Petito was last believed to have been seen. Shortly after, K9s who were part of the search were called off.
The FBI will hold a press conference at 4 p.m. local time on the findings.
