Missing Persons Alert: Gabby Petito
This is an urgent Missing Persons alert mini episode about the case of 22 year old Gabby Petito who vanished while traveling cross-county. The case spans multiple police jurisdictions from all over the country including Florida, New York, and Utah. Gabby, along with her boyfriend, traveled across the country in their distinct travel van. Her boyfriend and their van showed up in North Port, Florida on the weekend of 9/11/21, but Gabby was nowhere to be found.
Update #1: After this episode was published, the family sent us the following statement:
“The Schmidt and Petito family are going through the worst moments of their lives. Their beautiful twenty-two year old daughter is missing and the one person that can help find Gabby refuses to help. Brian Laundrie was traveling with Gabby in the Grand Teton – Yellowstone area. They were traveling together in Gabby’s 2012 Ford Transit van. That is where we believe Gabby was last seen.
Brian is refusing to tell Gabby’s family where he last saw her. Brian is also refusing to explain why he left Gabby all alone and drove her van to Florida. These are critical questions that require immediate answers.
The Schmidt and Petito family beg the Laundrie family to not “remain in the background” but to help find who Brian referred to as the love of his life. How does Brian stay in the background when he is the one person that knows where Gabby is located?
The Schmidt and Petito family implore Brian to come forward and at least tell us if we are looking in the right area”
