But upon finding Laundrie's body in Florida's Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in October, alongside a notebook, revolver and backpack, things became a lot clearer, reports Sky News.
In a statement, they said: "On October 21, 2021, a comparison of dental records confirmed that the human remains found at the T. Mabry Carlton, Jr. Memorial Reserve and Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park are those of Brian Laundrie.
"The FBI is grateful for the tremendous investigative support from our partners."
On Friday, the FBI's Denver Field Office released another statement regarding the belongings found near Laundrie's body.

They said: "A review of the notebook revealed written statements by Laundrie claiming responsibility for Ms Petito's death."
The statement also detailed how both families had reached an agreement on how the belongings would be shared.
The FBI has not released the specifics of the notebook but has revealed they found texts between the couple sent after Petito had died.
The statement said: "The timing and content of these messages are indicative of Mr Laundrie attempting to deceive law enforcement by giving the impression that Ms Petito was still alive."
