Authorities have been searching Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming for any evidence of 22-year-old Gabby Petito, whose family reported her missing September 11.

The FBI's Denver field office announced Sunday on Twitter authorities would hold a news conference regarding Petito's disappearance at 4 p.m. MT in Grand Teton National Park.

News of the discovery of a body comes as authorities in Florida also search for Petito's fiancé Brian Laundrie, whose family told police Friday they had not seen him since last Tuesday.

I know this is not the news anyone was hoping to hear, but I assume most of you thought it was going to end this way. The story states there will be a press conference at about 4 p.m. MT.
