A body was found Sunday in a national forest in Teton County, Wyoming, according to County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue.
Additional details were unavailable, Blue told CNN over the phone.
Authorities have been searching Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming for any evidence of 22-year-old Gabby Petito, whose family reported her missing September 11.
The FBI's Denver field office announced Sunday on Twitter authorities would hold a news conference regarding Petito's disappearance at 4 p.m. MT in Grand Teton National Park.
News of the discovery of a body comes as authorities in Florida also search for Petito's fiancé Brian Laundrie, whose family told police Friday they had not seen him since last Tuesday.
Laundrie, 23, is not wanted for a crime, according to law enforcement officials. Prior to her disappearance, Petito had been traveling with Laundrie on a cross-country road trip through several Western states, leaving online reviews of campsites they visited.
Laundrie returned to North Port, Florida, without Petito on September 1, according to police. Officials later found the van the couple had been traveling in at the home Petito shared with Laundrie and his parents in North Port, a city in Sarasota County some 80 miles south of Tampa.
The latest efforts to locate Laundrie have shifted to a Florida nature reserve, where dozens of officers and FBI agents are combing an area that stretches out to roughly 25,000 acres, according to the North Port Police Department.
Laundrie's family told police he left home with his backpack Tuesday and told them he was going to the reserve, North Port police spokesperson Josh Taylor said Saturday.
Police visited the home after Petito was reported missing, but Laundrie's family refused to talk, Taylor said last week, and instead gave authorities the information for their attorney.
The home was searched Friday evening, when Laundrie's family told police they had not seen him for days. Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino said Friday that Laundrie's whereabouts "are currently unknown."
