What did Gabby's family say on Dr. Phil?
During the first part of the tell-all, Gabby's family opened up about what they did when they stopped hearing from their daughter, revealing that after texting Brian's parents they never responded.
“A normal parent, when you text someone that ‘you’re gonna call the cops cause you can’t find your child’ they would reply,” Gabby’s father Joseph Petito said. “No response. No nothing.”
Her parents later slammed him for being a “coward” and demanded they turn himself in.
“Somebody needs to start talking,” Nichole continued. “I do believe [his parents] know a lot more information than they’re putting out there.”
“He’s a coward,” Joe added. “Flat-out. I’d use some other words, but I can’t use them on your show. Anyone that lived in that house is a coward, and they don’t know how to stand up for their actions.”
During the second part, Gabby's family then revealed that her body had been discovered just in front of the area where the tent and fire would have been.
Gabby's stepfather added that it would have been only a short walk from where the van would have been parked but was off the beaten path.
"Where their van was is alongside a creek bed ... on the other side is some trees and a lot of low brush on the borderline of Teton National Park," Jim said.
"There's an area where there were a few trees, remnants of a fire ring, and a clearing where I would place my tent, facing out over the mountain range.
"Her body was found in front of the tent or in front of the fire ring."
He also spoke about the search for her where he claimed rainbows showed them the way to her body.
Where was Gabby Petito's body found?
On September 19, 2021, authorities in Wyoming announced a body was found in the area where the search for Gabby had been underway.

The family lawyer later confirmed on September 21, that the body was identified as Gabby.
The remains were discovered in Grant Teton National Park, where she had been camping with her fiancé when she disappeared.
"I want to personally thank the press and news media for giving the Petito and Schmidt family time to grieve," lawyer Richard Stafford said in a statement. "We will be making a statement when Gabby is home. I will contact you to arrange a time and location."
While the autopsy results are still pending, police are now switching focus into finding Brian after the Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue confirmed that Gabby died as a result of a homicide.
Gabby was last seen on August 24, 2021, checking out of a hotel with Brian in Salt Lake City, Utah, and had been reported missing on September 11 by her mother.
On October 3, 2021, Gabby's family announced that they had launched the Gabby Petito Foundation in honor of their late daughter.
"The Gabby Petito Foundation is up and running!," a post on the foundation's Twitter page read. "We have a lot of work to do, website is just starting out so be patient with us, we will get there. Thank you for all the support and love!"
The family then repeated a phrase coined by Gabby's dad in an Instagram post after her remains were found at a Wyoming campsite on September 19: "She touched the world."
A link to the foundation's website is also now live, having previously been "under construction" in the week since the family first unveiled their plans to launch a charity in Gabby's name at her funeral.
Has Brian Laundrie been found?
Brian's whereabouts remain a mystery as authorities have yet to locate him.
In the days since he vanished, a series of possible sightings of Brian have been reported in a number of states, including elsewhere in Florida and in Alabama.
The FBI issued a warrant for his arrest on Thursday, September 23, claiming he "used unauthorized debit cards after Gabby Petito’s death."
As the search for Brian heightens, reality star Dog the Bounty Hunter has also volunteered his services to locate him.
In the days since, Dog says he has received more than 2,000 potential leads in the case and has been scouring Fort De Soto Park in Pinellas County, Florida since last Tuesday.
Experts have suggested Brian might be on the Appalachian Trail.
That came after Dog the Bounty Hunter tweeted about needing help near the Appalachian Hiking Trail in North Carolina.
