You may remember the story of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie from several months ago. The couple was traveling across the United States on a van life adventure when Petito went missing and was no where to be found. In what was once of the most high profile cases of all time, it was discovered that strangulation was the official cause of Petito's death, and Laundrie was the primary suspect.

As the case of the missing teenagers remains unsolved and a mystery, Joseph Petito is stepping in to help find the two.
