NORTH PORT, Fla. — The boyfriend of a missing woman, who is currently considered a person of interest in her disappearance, is now also missing.
An attorney for the family of Brian Laundrie told the FBI Friday night that their son had disappeared, and they hadn't seen him since Tuesday.
The FBI and the North Port Police Department are now looking for the 23-year-old, who was dating Gabby Petito before she went missing. The couple had been visiting national parks and other areas together in a camper van, and their travels included parts of both southern and northern Utah before heading to the area of Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks, investigators believe.
