Gabe Pettito died asphyxiated and was a victim of domestic violence. Her body remained undetected in the remote Wyoming wilderness for up to four weeks after her murder, a medical investigator revealed Tuesday.

Dr. Brent Blow, a Teton County investigator, released the autopsy results of 22-year-old video blogger Van Life at a Tuesday afternoon news conference.

CNN later obtained an official table stating that Pettit was killed by hand asphyxiation, which means she was not strangled using a strap such as a rope or a belt. Dr. Blue had declined to comment further on how Pettito was contracted during his press conference.

He spoke as Petito's fiancé Brian Laundry spent his fourth week missing without a trace while cops continued to search for him.

"We found that the cause of death was strangulation, and the method was murder," Blow said.

Bleu said he could not pinpoint the exact date of Pettito's killing, saying only that "the body was in the wild for three to four weeks" and that an "approximate date" should be placed on the death certificate.

Petito's body was discovered at a camping site near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming on September 19 — eight days after her family reported her missing and 22 days after last seen alive on August 27.

The coroner refused to reveal several details about the autopsy results, including the condition of Pettito's body, buried her body, whether there were any medications in her system, and whether she was killed in the same place where her body was found.

It has been confirmed that Petito was not pregnant at her death - after internet investigators circulated that theory online in recent days. Blue added that law enforcement authorities have taken DNA samples to investigate her murder and who is responsible for her continues.
