COULD COLLECT MILLION DOLLARS IN
LIFE INSURANCE PAYOUTS.
>> Bill: THIS MYSTERY NOW.
THE SEARCH FOR A MISSING NEW
YORK WOMAN WHO DISAPPEARED
DURING A CROSS COUNTRY ROAD TRIP
WITH HER BOYFRIEND.
NOW WE ARE LEARNING UTAH POLICE
RESPONDED TO AN INCIDENT IN MOAB
WITH THE COUPLE 2 WEEKS BEFORE
SHE VANISHED.
2 MEMBERS OF GABBY’S FAMILY JOIN
ME.
JOE HER FATHER IS IN FLORIDA.
JIM HER STEPFATHER IS IN
WYOMING.
JIM IN WYOMING, I THINK YOU ARE
IN THE AREA OF JACKSON.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND SO FAR?
>> YES, THAT’S CORRECT.
WE CAME OUT TO WYOMING
YESTERDAY.
OUR REASON FOR BEING HERE IS TO
HELP LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH ANY
QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE.
THAT’S OUR REASON TO BE HERE.
WE HAVE OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
IN NEW YORK WHERE GABBY IS FROM.
SHE HAS HER FATHER AND STEP MOM
AND FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN
FLORIDA.
WE HAVE THOSE TWO AREAS COVERED
BUT WE DIDN’T HAVE ANYBODY OUT
HERE.
WE AGREED WE NEEDED SOMEBODY OUT
HERE TO ASSIST TO LOCATE HER.
>> Bill: THE REASON YOU WENT TO
JACKSON, WYOMING, THAT’S THE
LAST TIME GABBY WAS SEEN, IS
THAT RIGHT?
>> YES, ONE OF HER LAST TEXT
MESSAGES TO HER MOM WAS SHE WAS
HEADING UP TO THE GRAND TE TON
NATIONAL PARK AND YELLOW STONE.
>> Bill: FROM FLORIDA, JOE JOINS
OUR CONVERSATION.
YOU CAN FIGURE THIS OUT?
>> IF I COULD FIGURE IT OUT, WE
WOULD KNOW WHERE TO GO AND I
WOULDN’T BE ON THE PHONE LINE
WITH YOU.
>> Bill: HOW ABOUT DID YOU KNOW
BRIAN, THE BOYFRIEND?
>> ABOUT AS WELL -- I WAS LIVING
IN NEW YORK AND THEY WERE DOWN
IN FLORIDA.
NOT AS WELL AS I WOULD LIKE TO.
THERE WERE NO RED FLAG THAT WE
WOULD BE HERE TODAY.
>> Bill: DID YOU EVER TALK TO
HIM?
>> I HAVE.
DOWN IN APRIL.
ME AND THE FAMILY DROVE DOWN TO
SEE MY UNCLE IN NAPLES AND GABS
AND BRIAN MET US.
WE DROVE UP TO VENICE BEACH WITH
THE KIDS AND GABBY AND BRIAN.
WE VISITED THEM.
NOTHING TO INDICATE WHAT IS
GOING ON TODAY.
>> Bill: UNDERSTOOD.
WERE THEY ENGAGED AT ONE TIME,
JOE, OR NOT?
JUST BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND?
>> NO, THEY WERE ENGAGED.
THERE IS CONFUSION.
IT FELT LIKE THEY WERE RUSHING
FOR A WEDDING.
THAT WASN’T THERE.
THEIR MAIN FOCUS, THEY WANTED TO
GO OUT AND ENJOY THEIR YOUTH.
GABBY ALWAYS WANTED TO TRAVEL
AND SEE AMAZING SIGHTS.
SHE WAS DOING IT.
DOING THAT AT 22 AND PEOPLE TRY
TO DO IT AT 65 WHEN THEY RETIRE.
I AM A LITTLE JEALOUS.
I WAS TALKING TO JIM LAST NIGHT.
JIM, YOU HEARD IT.
YOU SAID IT.
I GOT HERE AND I KNOW WHY GABBY
GAME HERE.
IT’S RIDICULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL.
>> Bill: DOES IT STRIKE YOU THAT
BRIAN HAS BEEN SO QUIET?
HE PUT OUT A STATEMENT BUT ONLY
THROUGH HIS LAWYER?
>> THAT’S NOT A STATEMENT.
I’M SORRY. NO, THAT WASN’T A STATEMENT.
NO, THAT WASN’T A STATEMENT.
THAT WAS -- I HAVE TO QUELL MY
EMOTIONS.
LISTEN, FOR GET BRIAN.
HE IS HOME SAFE.
HIS PARENTS IT’S HARD FOR THEM,
BOOM.
NO.
MY DAUGHTER IS NOT HERE.
OUR DAUGHTER IS NOT HERE.
WE DON’T KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
WHAT STATE SHE IS IN.
WE ARE SHOOTING FROM THE HIP
HERE AND TRYING TO DO WHAT WE
CAN.
I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE
STATEMENT. I CARE ABOUT FINDING GABBY.
I CARE ABOUT FINDING GABBY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I SAW
THIS MORNING HER INSTAGRAM IS
DOWN.
I DON’T KNOW WHO TOOK IT DOWN.
IF YOU COULD REACH OUT TO
INSTAGRAM TO PUT IT BACK UP OR
GET THE PICTURES OUT THERE AS
MUCH AS WE CAN.
BEST CASE SCENARIO SOMEONE SEES
THOSE PICTURES AND MEMORRIZES
HER FACE AND FINDS HER WHEN THEY
ARE HIKING OR DRIVING.
WORST CASE SCENARIO, THOSE ARE
THE PICTURES I NEED FOR ME TO
COMFORT ME AND I DON’T HAVE THAT
RIGHT NOW.
NO.
WE HAVE TO GET THAT BACK UP.
>> Bill: I AM GLAD YOU SAID
THAT.
ONE MORE SPECIFIC.
WERE THEY ENGAGED AS OF 2 WEEKS
AGO OR A MONTH AGO?
WHAT WAS THEIR STATUS?
>> THEY HAVE BEEN ENGAGED.
THEY WERE TOGETHER --
>> Bill: THEY DIDN’T BREAK THAT
ENGAGEMENT OFF?
>> NO, IT WAS JUST NOT THEIR
MAIN FOCUS.
THEY WERE TRYING TO ENJOY THEIR
TRIP.
THEY HAD NO PLANS ON ANYTHING.
THEY WANTED TO BE TOGETHER.
THEY LOVED EACH OTHER.
ALL OF THAT STUFF IS GREAT BUT
IT IS NOT HELPING US WITH THE
MAIN FOCUS.
WE DON’T KNOW WHERE GABBY IS.
I AM DOING ALL OF THIS STUFF TO
GET HER FACE OUT THERE.
I HOPE YOU PUT UP THE TIP LINE.
IT’S NOT ME YOU NEED TO LOOK AT.
YOU NEED TO LOOK AT GABBY. MEMORRIZE HER FACE AND TATTOOS
MEMORRIZE HER FACE AND TATTOOS
AND WATCH THAT VIDEO.
>> Bill: JIM, ONE LAST QUESTION
IN JACKSON.
WHAT DO YOU DO TODAY?
WHO DO YOU TALK TO?
WHO ARE POLICE TELLING YOU?
>> WELL, RIGHT NOW, THE POLICE
ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN.
THAT’S ALL WE CAN RELY ON RIGHT
NOW.
ALL OF THESE LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES ARE WORKING TOGETHER.
THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO
FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
WHERE SHE IS.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE GOT IN LATE
LAST NIGHT.
THEY ARE AWARE WE ARE HERE.
OUR HOPES ARE WE CAN REACH OUT
TO THEM TODAY AND SPEAK TO THEM
IN PERSON.
THERE IS A PRESENCE HERE.
WE ARE LOOKING TO DO HERE IS --
THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF OUT
THERE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO HELP AND
DO SEARCHES.
THAT’S NOT WHAT WE ARE LOOKING
TO DO RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE HEAR TO HELP LAW
ENFORCEMENT DO WHAT THEY DO
BEST.
THAT IS TO FIND GABBY.
THAT’S ALL WE WANT.
>> Bill: JIM IS GABBY’S
STEPFATHER IN JACKSON, WYOMING
AND JOE IS GABBY’S FATHER.
JOE WE ARE PUTTING THE PICTURE
OUT.
THERE WE HAVE THE STORY OUT
THERE.
