Gabby Petito, 22, set out on a cross-country road trip with her fiancé in early July, leaving their Florida Gulf Coast town of North Port first for New York and then out west to tour National Parks.
But in late August, Petitio's family stopped hearing from her and updates ceased on her public Instagram page, which she had been using to document her trip.
Petito's mom, Nicole Schmidt, eventually reported her daughter missing on Saturday night to the Suffolk County Police Department, which is the area in Long Island where Petito grew up.
The white converted camper van that Petito was traveling in with her fiance, Brian Laundrie, was also recovered on Saturday night back in North Port at the home of Laundrie's parents, according to the North Port Police Department.
"We currently have no definitive information that a crime took place here in North Port. With that said, the circumstances are odd," the North Port Police Department said Tuesday. "So, we are actively gathering local details and any evidence to assist in finding needed answers."
The FBI's Tampa field office is also assisting in the investigation.
Brian Laundrie could not be reached for comment. He has not been named a suspect or person of interest in the case.

So they haven’t spoken to the person she was travelling with? No mention of what the boyfriend said happened. ?????
They’re probably going over the vehicle with a fine-tooth comb. I once heard the process referred to as a “Forensics Safari.”
Criminals are hardly ever as smart as they’ve convinced themselves that they are.
They can track their Cell Phone locations throughout the Trip.
I’m sure they are doing that as we speak.
He lawyered up.
“He lawyered up.”
He might be going the full “no comment, prove I did anything” route. Not terribly bright, but if it’s all one has...
Possibly doing drugs, she OD, he left the body and went home.
Bump to keep the discussion going.
