The coverage of the Gabby Petito case has led to the apparent discovery of another body, it has been reported.

YouTuber Gabby, 22, went missing last month during a cross-country trip in the US with her fiancé Brian Laundrie.

Her body was discovered in Wyoming on September 18 and there is now a huge manhunt underway to locate Laundrie, 23, who is the prime suspect.

But the intense coverage has seemingly brought closure to the family of a man from Texas who went missing in Wyoming in August, the New York Post reports.

The last trace of Robert Lowery, 46, was reportedly a ping from his cellphone in the city of Jackson.

Mr Lowery was last seen on video at a restaurant in Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village on August 19.

Remains matching his description were discovered near the Black Canyon Trail at the base of Teton Pass on Tuesday, Houston's KPRC-TV reported.

Sheriff Deputy Chad Sachse said the coverage into Gabby's case led tipsters to provide new information about Mr Lowery, who went missing 40 miles from where the tragic YouTuber's body was found.
