Excerpt:

The Teton County Coroner's Office performed an autopsy on the body Tuesday.

The attorney for Petito's family, Richard Stafford, told Insider in a text message that the remains — found near the border of Grand Teton National Park — belonged to Petito.

The results of the autopsy have not yet been released by the FBI or the Teton County Coroner's Office.

Earlier on Tuesday, Stafford said the family would not be releasing a statement until "Gabby is home."

1. I guess we knew this is how it would turn out...

I'm very sorry for this and all families who have had missing and murdered children.

10. Rest in Peace Gabrielle Venora Petito

11. I don't get this?

Is this something someone did in memory? Or do they think the BFF did it?

I’ve missed something here.

15. The stones were probably arranged out of respect for her family after the CSI team reopened area.

It was one of three survey sites the CSI examined and documented.

19. Oh ok, thanks.

I missed that.

4. This is very sad

Rest in Peace, Gabby Petito

Condolences to the Petito family.

Ok, whoever's slicing onions, stop it.

17. I still think its vehicular homicide.

He ran over over while she was trying to stop him from leaving.

[Treefrog]

20. A good guess for sure.

He’s a coward, no matter how he did it.

[honest.abe]

22. It would pretty much explain all of the bizarreness of this case

He killed her but perhaps didn't really mean to and he freaked out, tried to hide the body and went home to parents and immediately lawyered up. The parents in this situation would understandably help the son as the kid could say Gabby ran in front of the van as he was driving it. Who knows but he is still guilty of ton of stuff. Hopefully all the facts come out soon and justice is served.

[Treefrog]

25. Yeah, makes sense.

His parents must be idiots or assholes not to have told him just to give himself up.

On the other hand, maybe they financed a trip out of the country for baby boy Brian. Surely the authorities are looking into their finances and so on…

The FBI is asking anyone who was in the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area between Aug 27 and Aug 30 who may have had contact with Gabby Petito or Brian Laundrie or who may have seen their van to call 1-800-CALL-FBI. Photos can be uploaded here:

8. So sad

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

9. " homicide... " so will they issue an arrest warrant now?

[honest.abe]

12. Exactly.. what are they waiting for now??

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

13. I understand no body, no crime, but he has to more than "a person of interest"

[honest.abe]

16. Clearly and perhaps inside the FBI he is.

I guess they are waiting to have enough evidence to make sure they have a solid case. But its infuriating that this asshole is still just a "person of interest" and is technically free to come and go as he pleases.

[PoliticAverse]

21. They are likely collecting evidence and building a case. Once an arrest is made a legal clock

starts ticking that often forces the prosecution to rush things before they are ready.

[honest.abe]

23. Yeah, that makes sense.

Its just sickening to think this guy is still free to go wherever he wants.

[senseandsensibility]

14. They seem to have treated him with kid gloves from

the beginning. Hence, he was able to escape. It seems from the beginning that many were invested in painting him as a victim, even here on DU. Very strange.

[USALiberal]

18. Based on what evidence? Nt

[honest.abe]

24. Coroner report
