The 23-year-old was the only person of interest in Petito's death and the FBI issued a warrant for his arrest on September 24. Before his death, Laundrie confessed to killing his fiancé, saying he did so after she injured herself walking along a river. There is no evidence to support the claim. Currently, Laundrie's parents are facing a lawsuit from Petito's family who claim they knew their son murdered their daughter and didn't inform law enforcement.
