North Port resident Gabby Petito was reported missing on September 11. Since then, public attention has turned to her social media presence, which chronicled her travel journey with her partner, Brian Laundrie.
Laundrie has been referred to as both Petito’s boyfriend and fiancé, but to police, he is considered a person of interest.
Background
The 22-year-old was trekking across the county in a van with Laundrie, when she vanished. Petito had her last FaceTime call with her parents while she was in Utah on August 21.
