Rainbow appears near search site for Gabby Petito’s body

People have shared their astonishment after a rainbow was spotted over Wyoming where the apparent remains of Gabby Petito’s body were discovered.

And in another wild coincidence, another rainbow also formed over Florida, in the area where police are searching for Petito’s fiancé, Brian Laundrie the New York Post reported.

Fox News posted the image of the Wyoming rainbow that was seen in Grand Teton National Park where the body which is believed to be that of the missing 22-year-old was found by the search team.

Apparently, the colourful display appeared just after the FBI announced that the body recovered by the coroner’s matched the description of Petito - though the body still needs to be exanimated and identified to completely confirm this.

At the same time in Sarasota County, Florida, a rainbow also appeared in the sky over the Carlton Reserve where authorities are searching for Petito’s 23-year-old boyfriend Brian Laundrie.

After returning home to Florida alone from the couple’s road trip across the US, Laundrie refused to speak to police and has since disappeared - having not been seen since Tuesday (September 14th), his attorney told Florida police. “The attorney for the Laundrie family called FBI investigators Friday night, indicating the family would like to talk about the disappearance of their son.

“The family now claims that they have not seen Brian since Tuesday of this week,” North Port Police public information officer Josh Taylor told the New York Post.

The 23-year-old had told his parents that he was going for a hike at the 25,000-acre reserve but has not been heard from or seen since, causing police to search for his whereabouts.

People hoping and praying for Petito and her family, have taken to Twitter to share their amazement at the appearance of the rainbow and give their condolences - with some believing the rainbow is a sign from Petito herself.

Although the FBI have not 100 per cent confirmed that the body is Petito’s agent Charles Jones told the media: “As every parent can imagine, this is an incredibly difficult time for her family. The cause of death has not been determined.”

Petito’s father, Joseph paid tribute to his daughter on Twitter writing “she touched the world”
