Decomposing body found in search for missing NC teen: ‘Every parent's worst nightmare'
A decomposing body has been found in the search for a North Carolina teen who vanished after sending his mom an alarming text message, pleading, 'Mom, help.' The remains of Giovanni Pelletier, 18, were discovered Friday in a retention pond off I-75 in Florida, where he had traveled to connect with his estranged dad and family. His body was formally identified Saturday afternoon, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO). The teen's mother said she was living 'every parent's worst nightmare,' angrily noting that her son was found by a private eye in a swampy area that authorities said they'd already scoured. 'My son was recently found after a desperate search by our family alone, and we are still facing an active investigation into his death,' Bridgette Pelletier wrote on Facebook. 3 Giovanni Pelletier was last seen on Aug. 1 after disappearing on a road trip with his cousins. GoFundMe 'I am living every parent's worst nightmare, trying to find the strength to give him the goodbye he deserves.' Authorities had searched the swampy area close to the southbound off-ramp near State Road 70 where the teenager's body was discovered not long after he went missing on Aug. 1, but his body was ultimately found by a private investigation group hired by the family. Detectives have 'preliminarily determined' the body to be that of the missing Pelletier, pending further testing, according to the MCSO. 3 His mom, Bridgette Pelletier, has accused the cousins of not doing enough to find her son. Facebook / Bridgette Pelletier An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday, Gulf Coast News reports. Pelletier was vacationing with his mother and other relatives in Englewood before he was picked up by three cousins at around 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 1 to visit his father's family in Brevard County. 3 A $10,000 reward was previously offered for information leading to Giovanni's discovery or an arrest and conviction. Facebook / Bridgette Pelletier On the way, the cousins claimed the teenager started acting erratically before they pulled over to the side of the road and he pulled out a knife, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office. He sent two texts to his mother at this time, including one begging her, 'Mom help,' and tried calling and FaceTiming her, before reaching out to various relatives for help. Pelletier's backpack and phone were found by the side of the road later on Aug. 1.

Decomposing Body Found Near Area Where Missing Teen Giovanni Pelletier Was Last Seen
The 18-year-old was last seen when he was picked up in Englewood, Fla., by three cousins on Aug. 1NEED TO KNOW Authorities have discovered a body near the area where missing teen Giovanni Pelletier was last seen in Florida The 18-year-old has been missing since Aug. 1 Giovanni's mother said her son expressed interest in reconnecting with paternal relatives and arranged to be picked up by some of them before he disappearedA body has been discovered near the area where missing teen Giovanni Pelletier was last seen in Florida. The decomposing body of what appears to be a male was found in a retention pond off of I-75 and State Road 70 on Friday, Aug. 8, according to spokesperson Randy Warren of the Manatee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), per WWSB and WRAL. Warren said authorities cannot confirm the identity of the body at this time. He added that police were keeping Giovanni's family 'informed of developments' in the case, per WWSB. PEOPLE reached out to the MCSO for comment on Saturday, Aug. 9, but did not receive an immediate response. The North Carolina teen went missing in Florida on Friday, Aug. 1, shortly after traveling there with his mom, Bridgette Pelletier, her fiancé, Jeremy Brown, and Giovanni's four siblings, his mom previously told PEOPLE. Before they left Raleigh, N.C., Giovanni joined a text chat with some of his paternal relatives, arranging for some of them to pick him up in Englewood, Fla., to take him to his grandfather's house in Brevard County, more than three hours away. Although Bridgette had her reservations about Giovanni going alone, she said she wanted to support her son's desire to reconnect with his family. Within 30 minutes of being picked up, Giovanni texted his mother, who had been studying for an upcoming pharmacy board exam and was asleep. The text read: "Mom help." The circumstances surrounding Giovanni's disappearance had been strange from the start, according to his mom. Bridgette said that Giovanni's paternal grandfather left her a voicemail alleging that there had been an altercation between the young men and that the cousins had left Giovanni on the side of the road in Bradenton in Manatee County. (The grandfather declined to comment to PEOPLE, while the cousins could not be reached.) Bridgette told PEOPLE that after getting in touch with some more family members, one of the cousins who had picked Giovanni up on Aug. 1 said the group had smoked marijuana together and that Giovanni began to panic and cursed at him. The cousin also allegedly said that a confrontation occurred on the side of the road, at which point, he claimed, Giovanni pulled out a knife. Bridgette said the cousin claimed they wrestled the knife from Giovanni, who then ran off. Giovanni's mom described the behavior as unlike her son and said she believed he likely felt threatened and outnumbered. Bridgette described her son, the eldest of her five kids, as a protector by nature because he always looked out for others, including one of his younger brothers who has autism.
