Summary

Autopsy results have confirmed the remains found in Wyoming are those of Gabby Petito, the 22-year-old woman who disappeared while on a trip exploring national parks with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. The coroner ruled her death a homicide but the “cause of death remains pending final autopsy results.” The police are still trying to find Laundrie, who returned to his family home without Petito earlier this month, has refused to cooperate with investigators and has been missing since last week. John Walsh is the host of “In Pursuit with John Walsh” on Investigation Discovery and is a child safety advocate after his own son was abducted and murdered 40 years ago. He joins AC360 to discuss the search efforts for Laundrie and where he thinks he’s hiding. Plus, President Biden plans to meet with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other key Democrats as his legislative agenda reaches its highest stakes moment. CNN’s Political Director David Chalian tells AC360 just how important this week is for the Biden administration.
