## Resource

The episode details the autopsy results and forensic analysis of the Gabby Petito homicide investigation. Teton County Coroner Brent Blue determined that the victim’s cause of death was manual strangulation, occurring roughly three to four weeks before her remains were discovered. Forensic expert Joseph Scott Morgan explains that the use of a full-body CAT scan and the focus on DNA evidence under the fingernails suggest a violent, face-to-face struggle. The episode emphasizes that this "intimate" method of killing typically points to a domestic violence perpetrator known to the victim rather than a stranger. At the time of publication, her former fiancé, Brian Laundrie, remained the primary person of interest as federal authorities continued their search. Overall, the source highlights the scientific rigor applied to the case to ensure a comprehensive body of evidence for a future trial. This episode includes AI-generated content.
