Police are searching for clues to the whereabouts of YouTuber Gabrielle Petito after her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, returned home without her on Sept. 1.

According to New York’s Suffolk County Police Department, Petito’s parents reported her missing on Saturday, Sept. 11. They stated that they had not spoken to her since the last week of August, when she was supposedly traveling through the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. 

On Aug. 19, the couple shared a video of their cross-country road trip titled “VAN LIFE | Beginning Our Van life Journey.” The 8-minute vlog showed Petito and Laundrie as they drove through California, Utah and other states in their 2012 Ford Transit van.
