Despres was at the Walmart and gave police “cryptic accounts” of Bishop’s location, according to police. He then reportedly confessed to killing Bishop in their home and taking her body to the Walmart parking lot.
“Without any doubt, it is due to the swift and exceptional work of the men and women working this investigation that it was able to be solved so quickly and efficiently,” Acosta said.
Florida police are also on the hunt for Brian Laundrie who has been named as a person of interest in the murder of his fiancée Gabby Petito. Petito’s body was found on Sept. 19 at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
