Where’s Gabrielle Petito (22)? Their fate moves the people in the USA. Because the young woman from Florida does not return from a trip with her partner – but her partner Brian Laundrie does.
Now US authorities have launched a nationwide search for her. The FBI set up a nationwide telephone hotline and asked the population for information on the possible whereabouts of the 22-year-old Gabrielle “Gabby” Petito.
Partner came home on September 1st without Gabby
Her partner, Brian Laundrie, came home on September 1st without his girlfriend. So far, however, he has been closed and is listed by the police as a “person of interest”. The partner of the disappeared has so far refused to testify. On September 11, Gabby Petito was officially reported missing by her family.
Todd Garrison, the police chief of the city of North Port (US state Florida), says of the case: “Two people have set out on a trip, one has returned, and he does not share any information with us.” One is frustrated about it.
Petito and Laundrie, who lived together in North Port, set off on a trip through the USA in a converted van in July. The couple documented the trip on Instagram and Youtube. The van has already been examined in the course of the investigation.
Police operation because of a dispute
According to their statement, the 22-year-old had the last contact with her family at the end of August. She is said to have stayed in Grand Teton National Park in the state of Wyoming.
About two weeks earlier, the Utah police had been called about an argument between the couple. In the meantime, the police have published the recordings of a police officer’s body camera. It shows Gabby Petito weeping.
Both got into an argument in which she hit her boyfriend, but not to hurt him. She claims to have psychological problems. The police ordered the two to spend the night separately.
Family begs for help from friend
Petito was supposed to sleep in the van, her friend Laundrie in a hotel. An advertisement was waived. Now Petito’s family appeals to the friend of the missing person to help the police in their search. So far, he should not have stated where he last saw Gabby Petito. (euc)
