On Sunday, Schmidt shared a photo of a rainbow developing in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. The shot of the colorful sky was reportedly taken shortly after the body of his 22-year-old stepdaughter was found in that same park on September 19.
"You were sending us signs in Wyoming and continue to do so every day," he captioned the post, adding, "Open your mind and your eyes will see them."
Internet sleuths spotted the rainbow on the day her body was found, prompting them to label it as a “sign” Gabby's soul was "leaving Earth."
Gabby's mother, Nicole Schmidt, has also backed up her husband's claims, stating that she believes her daughter is communicating with them.
