(NewsNation Now) — A Wyoming coroner is expected to update the public on Gabby Petito's autopsy Tuesday afternoon.
Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue has not disclosed the 22-year-old vlogger's cause of death, but did rule it was a homicide.
Petito vanished while on a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend Brian Laundrie in a converted camper van. The trip was well-documented on social media until it abruptly ceased, allegedly somewhere in Wyoming. The couple documented most of their trip, which started in July, on a YouTube Vlog called “VAN LIFE”.
Petito, 22, was reported missing Sept. 11 by her parents after she did not respond to calls and texts for several days. Petito's body was found Sept. 19 just outside Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
Blue said he will discuss the autopsy at 2:30 p.m. ET. NewsNation will live stream the press conference in the player above.
It has been weeks since any firm new details emerged in the case as authorities search for Petito's boyfriend. Brian Laundrie's parents say they last saw him Sept. 13 when they said he took the car to a 24,000-acre Florida reserve. He was reported missing Sept. 17.
Despite searching for nearly a month in the Carlton Reserve, police have not found him or even said they've found clues.
“We need to find something," North Port police Officer Josh Taylor told NewsNationNow.com Friday. "I think there’s so much attention on this. I don’t know that this case would ever get to be a cold case. We’ll continue to search. You know, we could be searching that Carlton Reserve and nearby lands for a long, long time.”
The FBI has issued an arrest warrant for Laundrie. He is wanted for “use of unauthorized access device” related to his activities following Petito’s death. The FBI says he used a debit card and a PIN to access two bank accounts Aug. 30 and Sept. 1.
