Utah police are not “ruling out” whether the case of missing Long Island native Gabby Petito is related to a double-homicide at a campground near Moab last month.

Petito was last seen in Wyoming late last month, but Moab police were called to a domestic “incident” involving the woman and her boyfriend Brian Laundrie on Aug. 12, as they traversed the state in a van.

No arrests were made and no charges were filed after cops responded to the incident.

Two days later, a newlywed couple was found shot to death in nearby South Mesa after being seen at a bar in town the night before, according to Fox News.

The Grand County Sheriff’s Office told the outlet they aren’t ruling anything out, as they look for a suspect in that slaying.

“We are thouroughly [sic] examining our security footage from the date of her post for any helpful information,” the tourist destination, which features a mural of butterflies, said Tuesday.
