Gabby was reported missing by her parents on September 11. The YouTube personality was on a road trip with fiance Brian. Her mother, Nicole Schmidt, said that she last FaceTimed her a day earlier. The 22-year-old YouTuber continued to send her texts until August 30, but Nicole doubted that it was her daughter who sent the texts because the content was odd.

Meanwhile, a newly-obtained 911 call in Moab, Utah revealed that someone witnessed Gabby and her fiance Brian Laundrie had a “domestic dispute” on the same day. The caller, who also mentioned that the couple he saw was driving a white van, told the first responder, “We drove by and the gentleman was slapping the girl. They ran up and down the sidewalk, he proceeded to hit her, and they drove off.”
