Authorities in the United States confirmed tonight (Tuesday through Wednesday) that the body found earlier this week in the forests of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming is that of Miss Gabi Patito, who was traveling with her fiancée in the western United States and has not been in contact since late August.
The update provided by the authorities further stated that she was murdered, but that the reason for the loss of her life is still under investigation and will probably be clarified later.
The fate of couples who got engaged and went on a trip across America has been and still is employing law enforcement in recent days, after 22-year-old Petito stopped sharing their experiences online and rating the sites they visit on social media.
Authorities said passersby reported to police in August of a quarrel that developed between the two during the trip when they were in the state of Utah, which also developed into a physical quarrel, but the two told police then they were still in love.
