The investigation into the missing Gabby Petito reportedly is centering Friday on a particular area within Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, according to a report.
“Thanks to a tipster who gave a concrete description of #GabbyPetito’s van, authorities have narrowed down their search efforts to the Jenny Lake area in Grand Teton National Park,” KSL 5 TV wrote in a tweet.
Shannon Baker, a witness, told the station that she and her husband spotted Petito and Brian Laundrie’s van in the Jenny Lake parking area on 5 p.m. on Aug. 25.
“I’m sure of it,” Baker said. “It had the black ladder on the back and the two black rooftops on top, the two bars, and we made the comment that would be the perfect little camper van to go around in.”
Baker told KSL 5 TV that she didn’t think much of the sighting at first until the story started picking up traction on social media.
“I said, ‘Oh my god! That’s the same van we saw,’” Baker said.
