Van life mystery: Gabrielle Petito is missing and her fiancé is a person of interest

New York native Gabby Petito and fiancé Brian Laundrie set out on a cross-country road trip in their van, capturing and sharing their “van-life” adventures on social media. Now, Gabby is missing and Brian is not cooperating with the police.

According to NBC News, the couple set out on July 2 and documented their travels on Instagram, TikTok, and their YouTube channel, but on September 1, Brian returned to their Florida home in their van without Gabby.

On August 12, before Gabby went missing, police responded to a domestic violence call. Below is the body cam footage.

By September 11, Gabby’s family reported her missing. Gabby was last seen checking out of a hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 24, and she last spoke with her family on August 25. Gabby’s mother told police that Gabby texted her on August 30, writing, “No service in Yellowstone.”

According to AP News, Brian is currently not cooperating with the police and is now considered a “person of interest” in the case. Gabby’s parents have reached out to Brian’s parents, pleading with them for help in finding their daughter.


This is the letter Gabby Petito’s parents wrote to Brian Laundrie’s parents today begging them for help. “I ask you to put yourselves in our shoes. We haven’t been able to sleep or eat and our lives are falling apart.” “Tell us if we are even looking in the right place.” pic.twitter.com/KMTGPnSyUd

The North Port Police have teamed up with Suffolk County Police and the FBI to search for Gabby.

Petito is 22-years-old, white, approximately 5 feet 5 inches, and 110 pounds. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and has several tattoos, including one on her finger and one on her forearm that reads “let it be.”
