On Saturday evening, Joe Petito posted a photo of Gabby with the caption “Please help bring Gabby home safe.”
An FBI spokesperson asked for the public to send Gabby’s family their thoughts as they “mourn the loss” of their daughter.
Gabby’s dad, Joseph Petito (the father of Gabby), had issued several calls for help following the disappearance.
Joe lives in Vero Beach, Florida, where he had moved to be closer to his daughter, according to theDaily Mail.
“[It’s like] drowning with your hands tied behind you,” Petito’s dad spoke of Gabby’s disappearance. “You can’t describe it. There’s nothing you can do. You can’t control anything.”
Joe stated that his family would continue to search for Gabby until they found her.
Joseph said he didn’t want to share his thoughts on his daughter’s partner Laundrie but described Gabby as a free spirit.
Laundrie is not well-known. According to his Instagram bio, he is a “nature enthusiast,” and his most recent pictures are from his cross-country travels.
He also has several photos related to printmaking on his Instagram account. This indicates that he’s an artist.
Before her disappearance, Laundrie and Petito were working on documenting their journey on YouTube under the name “Nomadic Statik.”
Laundrie made headlines after he was reported missing on Friday, September 17, the same day his sister Cassie’s interview aired on ABC.
