The police in Florida are still scouring a vast wildlife reserve in the state for Ms. Petito’s fiancé, Brian Laundrie, 23, who was described as a “person of interest” by the police. Before he went missing, Mr. Laundrie had through a lawyer declined to speak to investigators, the police said. The authorities later issued an arrest warrant for him on a charge of debit card fraud.

Ms. Petito and Mr. Laundrie set out to visit national parks and travel the country in July, in a white Ford van outfitted with a bed and other necessities as part of a “van life” adventure.

On Sept. 1, Mr. Laundrie returned to the North Port, Fla., home where he lived with his parents and Ms. Petito, in the van, which was registered to Ms. Petito.

Ten days later, Ms. Petito’s family reported her missing. The search for her soon involved the F.B.I. and National Park rangers and stretched across at least two states.

Then, six days after Ms. Petito was reported missing, Mr. Laundrie’s parents told the police they had not seen him for several days, starting a second search for a missing person. The authorities began to scour the 24,565 acres of a wildlife refuge, the Carlton Reserve, in Sarasota County, Fla., and the F.B.I. served a search warrant at the Laundrie residence.
