Today Florida officials revealed, but not too much, that remains have been found in the Carlton Reserve. In addition, there was a backpack and notebook belonging to celebrated fugitive Brian Laundrie, the one-time fiance and most likely suspect in the murder of social media influencer Gabby Petito in late August. The officers wouldn't say definitively they were Brian's or that they were even human.
Not that the conspiracy theorists will be convinced. They have speculated Brian's parents were just like Alex Kelly's, that they helped finance his escape and Brian is now out of the country, perhaps Cuba, which does not have an extradition treaty.

None of which made any sense at all. Most likely a guilty Brian decided to take one last hike for old time's sake, kill himself, and made himself available for the alligators and snakes to feast upon.
And why is the notebook important?
From the Daily Mail:
Pathologist Dr. Michael Baden told DailyMail.com that it is likely the FBI already know whether the remains are Brian's, and that they would have been able to confirm it immediately, but are waiting for more examination to determine the cause of death.
'Dental is 99.9 percent immediately accurate. They know it's him. But the cause of death might still take a while to determine. The cause of death has to be determined at autopsy, which probably won't be performed till tomorrow or the next day,' he said.
At a briefing at 4.30pm, FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael McPherson confirmed that human remains had been found, but he would not speculate on the identity of those remains, nor would he reveal how long they had been there.
