The massive operation to find Gabby Petito and hunt down Brian Laundrie has resulted in the discovery of three other bodies.

Petitio and Laundrie were on a large road trip across the United States and were documenting the journey on social media.

However, the trip turned sour and Gabby, 22, was strangled to death and her fiancé was named as a person of interest in the homicide.

However, Laundrie disappeared after returning from his trip in early September, which sparked one of the biggest manhunts in recent US history.

As authorities were trying to find where Gabby's body had been dumped, as well as while they were looking for Laundire, they managed to come across three other unsuspecting dead bodies.

Late last month, authorities in Wyoming discovered the body of missing 46-year-old hiker Robert Lowery.

Gabby was found in the Grand Teton National Park and Lowery, a father of two from Texas, was located at the base of the Teton Pass in Bridger-Teton National Forest.

He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

On September 18, cops were tipped off about a possible Laundrie sighting in at a Wal-Mart in Tillman's Corner, Alabama.

The tipoff didn't turn out to be the 23-year-old fugitive, however police found the body of a homeless man while searching the area around Wal-Mart.

Police from the Mobile County Sheriff's Office are still investigating how the man died and the haven't released his name.

There was another suspected sighting of Laundrie in the Blue Ridge Mountains and authorities from North Carolina's Watauga County raced to the scene.

However, instead of the fugitive, they found the remains of Josue Calderon.

The National Park Service said the 33-year-old man had been stabbed to death and his body was dumped along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The massive manhunt for Laundrie ended today (October 21) after the FBI confirmed human remains discovered near the Carlton Reserve in Florida belonged the the 23-year-old.

Authorities issued a statement, saying: "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 reserve had been the focal point of the manhunt and Laundrie's parents were called to the scene to help identify clothing and belongings of their song.

Laundrie family attorney Steve Bertolino told Fox News: "Chris and Roberta Laundrie have been informed that the remains found yesterday in the reserve are indeed Brian's.

"We have no further comment at this time and we ask you to respect the Laundrie family's privacy at this time."
