Current consensus (October 2021):

Subject and title

The article title should be about the event and circumstances around the death of Gabby Petito and not "Gabby Petito" or "Gabrielle Petito" - Discussion
The article title should remain "Killing of..." and not "Murder of..." as per WP:BLPCRIME, WP:KILLINGS and WP:KILLINGOF

Lead

The lead sentence should use the full name "Gabrielle Venora Petito" and not "Gabby" as per MOS:NICKNAMES
"Missing white woman syndrome" should be in the section "Media coverage and public interest" and not in the lead section - Discussion

Organization

There should be no standalone Brian Laundrie article or manhunt for Brian Laundrie article - Discussion
For the "See also" section, do not add "Missing white woman syndrome." The article is already linked in the prose.

There appears to be some confusion in the "Last reported activities and sightings" section. The video at Whole Foods happened during the hour of 2 p.m. The following text refers to eyewitness sightings "thereafter" but the first account happened an hour earlier than the Whole Foods footage. Also, it would be more accurate to say Merry Piglets is in the town of Jackson, Wyoming, same as the Whole Foods store (Jackson Hole being the entire valley), especially as a distinction is made between Jackson and Jackson Hole two paragraphs down by the woman who gave Laundrie a lift when he was hitchhiking. 2600:100A:B1CB:BC67:0:35:CDB:2E01 (talk) 23:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
