Laundrie is wanted as a person of interest in the case of Petito, who went missing in September and was later found dead in Wyoming. Petito and Laundrie went on a cross-country road trip this summer.
- But only Laundrie returned home to North Port, Florida, on Sept. 1, driving Petito’s van. On Sept. 11, Petito’s family reported her missing. She was found on Sunday, Sept. 19, having died by strangulation.
- Laundrie’s whereabouts remain unknown. Police have focused their search in the 25,000-acre Carlton Reserve in Florida.
