Blue Point, New York – Gabby Petito's family spoke to the press for the first time since her body was found to both thank them and offer up some advice on coverage moving forward.

On Tuesday, the family of Petito held a press conference for the first time since her body was found at the Spread Creek Dispersed Campground in Wyoming.

The family's attorney, Richard Stafford, started things off by thanking the media and the public for giving the family the time and space needed to grieve such an unfathomable loss.

"Gabby Petito was a beautiful woman. Her infectious smile and love of life made people gravitate to her. Gabby Petito loved life, loved people, and loved experiences," Stafford said.

But rather than focusing on the current manhunt for Petito's fiancé, Brian Laundrie, the family opted to keep things positive, sharing their desire to "make good" out of this tragedy.

Both Petito's biological parents and stepparents were present at the conference, revealing they had all gotten tattoos the night before to keep their daughter with them at all times.

Petito's mother, Nicole Schmidt, shared that Gabby had actually designed the tattoo she opted to get, which included the words "let it be", in reference to a song by The Beatles that Petito also had tattooed on herself.

"We want to keep her with us always," Schmidt said, while Joe Petito added, "We need positive stuff to come from the tragedy that happened. We can't let her name be taken in vain."

In regard to the search effort for Laundrie, Stafford said, "[Gabby's] parents are 100% happy with the FBI. They've been with us at every single step of the way, and we know that they will bring justice for Gabby."

A coroner has initially ruled Petito's cause of death as a homicide.

Though the family thanked social media and reporters for their help in locating Petito and giving the story massive amounts of coverage, the 22-year-old's father stressed that the same effort should be put forth for other missing person cases, too.

"Social media has been amazing and very influential, and to be honest, it should continue for other people, too," Petito said.

He then called on members of the media to lead the way in covering other cases, saying, "It's on all of you, everyone that's in this room, to do that. If you don't do that for other people that are missing, that's a shame, because it's not just Gabby that deserves that."

The family also spoke briefly about the Gabby Petito Foundation they are in the process of creating.

Though many details have yet to be sorted out, Petito's stepfather Jim Schmidt noted, "We're just hoping that through our tragedy of losing Gabby that in the future, that some good can come out of it, that we can help other people that may be in a similar situation."
