Where is Gabrielle Petito?

In July, the 22-year-old leaves New York with her companion, Brian Laundrie, 23, in a campervan.

The lovers must take a 4 month road trip across the United States.

The couple regularly share photos and videos of their trip on social networks.

We see the blonde with blue eyes walking a canyon river or surfing sand dunes in the grandiose setting of the national parks of the American West.

But as of the date of their return to their Florida home on September 1, Brian Laundrie is alone.

Ten days later, the family of Gabrielle Petito whose last contact with the young girl dates back to the end of August, reports her disappearance, reports the police of North Port, where the couple reside.

The one we nickname “Gabby” would have been seen for the last time in the very majestic Grand Teton National Park, in Wyoming.

But surprisingly, this information does not come from his companion, silent since the beginning of the case.

Brian refuses to explain why he left Gabby

Brian Laundrie is now deemed "worthy of investigation" by the police. However, he is not considered a suspect. A video made public by the police in Moab, a small town in Utah, has accentuated the confusion around the role played by her boyfriend. Gabrielle Petito appears there in tears, in a car, the police having intervened for a marital dispute. “She gets annoyed sometimes,” Brian Laundrie tells officers, explaining that they had had a dispute and that she hit him with his phone.

Faced with many unanswered questions, all eyes are now on him.

"Two people left on a trip, only one came back, and this person who came back does not provide us with any information," Todd Garrison, North Port police chief, summed up Thursday.

“Brian refuses to tell Gabby's family where he last saw her.

Brian also refuses to explain why he left Gabby alone and drove the van to Florida.

These are crucial questions that require immediate answers, ”pleaded the family of the traveler in a statement.

"How can Brian stay behind when he's the only person who knows Gabby's whereabouts?"

Accounts with thousands of subscribers follow the survey

On Thursday, Gabrielle Petito's father called on "Brian's family" and "his friends" for help at a press conference, asking them to "do everything possible to get (his) daughter back to the House ".

“Nothing else matters to me now,” added Joe Petito.

The FBI has opened a telephone line to communicate information while remaining anonymous.

The lawyer for the Laundrie family, Steven Bertolino, told him in a statement that he had advised his client to remain silent, because the companion is often the first person to whom the police "turn their attention in this kind of case", according to the New York Times.

America is passionate about the young woman's disappearance, many messages being posted on social networks to try to help find her, and accounts with several thousand subscribers on Instagram follow the progress of the investigation.

As proof of the media interest in the case, North Port Police said they had given interviews to "all major television stations and about 60 media outlets in the past 48 hours."

A pot created on GoFundMe to "raise funds to help find Gabby Petito" totaled more than $ 45,000 on Thursday.
