Fox News
The FBI announced Friday that it is closing its investigation into the homicide of Gabby Petito and the subsequent suicide of her former fiancé, Brian Laundrie, who was previously named a person of interest in her murder.
Schnieder added that the public’s role in helping the FBI "in this endeavor was invaluable as the investigation was covered in the media around the world."

Petito's family was in Florida on Thursday morning, roughly four months after their daughter was found strangled to death in Wyoming. An attorney representing Laundrie's family said they had reached an agreement about how the couple’s property – including a notebook found with his remains – will be distributed.
The notebook contained "written statements by Mr. Laundrie claiming responsibility for Ms. Petito’s death," according to the FBI.
