The human remains discovered at a Florida park where authorites have been searching for Brian Laundrie – the sole person of interest in the killing of Gabby Petito – consisted of "bones," a local police official told Insider on Thursday.

North Port Police spokesman Josh Taylor said that "bones" were found in the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, which connects to the sprawling 25,000-acre Carlton Reserve.

Laundrie's parents have told investigators that their son went for a hike at the park on September 13 and never returned to their North Port home.

The remains have not yet been identified.
