Laundrie’s remains were discovered last month in a Florida nature preserve.

He disappeared during a nationwide manhunt for his fiancé, Gabby Petito.

Petito’s body was later found in Wyoming, and the coroner ruled her death a homicide by strangulation.

Laundrie was described as a person of interest in the case.
