Gabby Petito’s date of death narrowed down as sniffer dogs try to smell out Brian Laundrie

GABBY Petito’s date of death has been narrowed down as sniffer dogs try to smell out her missing fiancé Brian Laundrie.

According to the FBI, they are now seeking information from anyone who might have seen Petito at Spread Creek, where her body was discovered – between August 27 and 30.

In a statement, agents said: “The FBI…seek assistance from anyone who utilized the Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area between the dates of August 27-30, 2021, and who may have had contact with Gabrielle “Gabby” Petito or may have seen her vehicle.”

Gabby was last seen spotted leaving a hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 24.

She sent a final text to her mom on August 30, claiming: “No service in Yosemite.” But she said she doubted whether that message had actually been sent by Gabby.

It comes as an underwater recovery team has reportedly been called to the Carlton Nature Reserve in the hunt for Brian.

After returning to North Port, Florida, on September 1, without Gabby, he remains missing.

A preliminary autopsy report on Tuesday identified Gabby’s body and her death was reported as a homicide.

Police, FBI agents, and K9s started searching the 24,000-acre nature reserve during the weekend without success.

However, on Wednesday divers with an underwater recovery team were called to the reserve, Sarasota Sheriff’s Office told alocal reporter.

It comes as internet sleuths are peddling a wild conspiracy that Laundrie may be hiding on a boat to evade police.

The theory, which is gaining traction on Twitter, appears to be born out from an unfounded claim that Laundrie went live on Instagram for a matter of seconds on Monday.

Laundrie andGabbywere roughly two months into a four-month adventure when Laundrie returned to hisFloridahome with their van on September 1.

Laundrie found the transit parked outside his parents’ house, where Petito and he had lived for two years.

After allegedly telling his family that he was planning to hike in the Mabry-Carlton Reserve, Laundrie was reported missing by his family.

Laundrie’s parents said that they drove his car home from a Florida wildlife reserve after he “failed to return from a hike” – days before they reported him missing.

‘CRIME SCENE’

On Monday, cops searched the home of Laundrie and bundled his parents into a police van after declaring the area a “crime scene.”

The FBI announced a “search warrant” twice before they removed Chris and Roberta Laundrie from the home. The parents were put in a van that was placed on their lawn.

Police also towed away Laundrie’s silver Mustang from his parents’ home.

Laundrie may have been driving the Mustang on Tuesday when he went for a hike in a nature reserve of 25,000 acres in Sarasota. This is the last time his family claims they saw him.

Laundrie’s parents reportedly told police they realized Brian hadn’t come back from his hike “on Wednesday or Thursday,” and that’s when they went to pick up the Mustang and drove it back to their home.

When asked by local reporter Brian Entin if Laundrie’s parents could be leading them in the wrong direction, police said they are “working to corroborate their story.”

“They did not say ‘we believe the parents or we know for sure that Brian was hiking in this reserve’,” shared Entin.
