Gabby Petito: Search for missing woman continues in Grand Teton National Park: LIVE UPDATES

Florida police confirmed late Friday they are searching for Brian Laundrie, the fiancé of missing woman Gabby Petito.

Officers went to Laundrie’s home on Friday expecting to see him but his family now says they don’t know where he is and he hasn’t been seen since Tuesday, a release from the North Port Police Department said.

Laundrie has been called a “person of interest” in the case and the release reiterated he is not currently wanted for a crime.

“We understand the community’s frustration. We are frustrated too,” the release said. “For six days the North Port Police Department and FBI have been pleading with the family to contact investigators regarding Brian’s Fiancé Gabby Petito.”

Friday was the first time the family had spoken with investigators in detail, the release said.

“It is important to note that while Brian is a person of interest in Gabby’s disappearance, he is not wanted for a crime. We are not currently working a crime investigation. We are now working a multiple missing person investigations.” 

Investigators tell Fox News that they expected to find Brian Laundrie when they arrived inside his home on Friday.

Florida police were seen entering the home of missing Gabby Petito, her fiancé and his parents Friday evening.

Police arrived at 6:20 p.m., and two officers walked out of the home around 7:00 p.m. -- before one returned about one minute later with what appeared to be an evidence envelope.

It was not immediately clear where the fiancé, Brian Laundrie, was – other than not at home."I can't confirm where he's at," North Port Police spokesman Josh Taylor told Fox News Friday evening, :He's a private citizen that's not a suspect."

Fox News has confirmed that Brian Laundrie is not currently inside his home as police search the premises and speak with his family members.

Police could not confirm where exactly Brian Laundrie is at the moment.

"I cant confirm where he's at he's a private citizen not a suspect," North Port Police Department Public Information Officer Josh Taylor told Fox News.

Chants of "dirty Laundrie" could be heard outside the North Port, Florida home of Brian Laundrie where police are currently investigating the disappearance of Laundrie's fiance Gabby Petito.

"We're not going anywhere get your a**** out here," one person could be heard yelling at the cops inside.

"Where is Gabby?" another person could be heard shouting repeatedly

Police could be seen entering the home earlier in the day, one carrying what appeared to be an evidence folder, and a silver Ford Mustang parked outside the home was also searched.

Police also entered the Laundrie home and tweeted that they are speaking to family members of Brian Laundrie at their request.

Fox News has confirmed that police have entered Gabby Petito's fiance Brian Laundrie’s house as the search to determine her whereabouts intensifies.

"North Port Police are currently speaking with the Laundrie Family at their request," the North Port Police tweeted Friday. "At this time, we are not speaking with Brian. More details when available."

 Utah investigators have determined that there is no connection between the horrific double murder of a newlywed couple found dead just outside Moab and the missing person case of Gabby Petito, who passed through the city with the fiancé who drove back to Florida without her.

"It has been determined that the Gabby Petito missing person case is not related to the double-homicide case involving Crystal Turner and Kylen Schulte," Grand County Sheriff Steven White said in a statement Friday afternoon.

From the office of the Grand County Sheriff: "It has been determined that the Gabby Petito missing person case is not related to the double-homicide case involving Chrystal Turner and Kylen Schulte."

Gabby Petito’s father was involved in a "public service" incident report at her fiancé Brian Laundrie’s home on Sept. 10, nine days after he returned to Florida without her from a cross-country road trip and a day before she was reported missing by her mother, according to heavily redacted police reports.

Petito did not go to the home physically, North Port police said separately, but expressed concern about his daughter's whereabouts.

Laundrie drove home in Petito’s van from out West without her earlier this month, hired a lawyer and has not assisted investigators in locating the missing 22-year-old.

A candlelight vigil is set to take place Friday night in Florida as law enforcement authorities continue to search for Gabby Petito and try to question her fiance Brian Laundrie about her whereabouts.

"Miracles happen all the time - I think Northport needs one," Jason Sternquist of North Port, Florida, who organized the vigil, told Fox News.

The vigil, scheduled for 7 P.M., will take place in front of City Hall in North Port.

Management at the Bowen Motel in Moab, Utah, have confirmed that a nonprofit group booked a room on Aug. 12 – but could not say definitively that it was for Brian Laundrie or that he even spent the night there.

Moab police separated Laundrie and his fiancée, Gabby Petito, that evening following a potential domestic assault call. No major injuries were reported and no charges were filed, but the responding officers got in touch with a nonprofit group to find Laundrie a hotel room and left Petito with her converted van, which the couple had been driving on a cross-country road trip since late June or early July.

Aug. 25 is the last time Petito spoke with her mother from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, according to the family. Laundrie showed up at his parent’s house in North Port, Fla., six days later – with the van but without his fiancé. Authorities said they seized the van at Laundrie’s parents’ house on Sept. 11 after Petito’s mother reported her missing.

Brian Laundrie, through his lawyer, has still refused to speak with police about the possible whereabouts of his missing fiancé Gabby Petito, whose van he drove home to Florida from out West 10 days before she was reported missing.

Laundrie’s attorney has only released a pair of statements that do not address the missing 22-year-old’s possible whereabouts or last known location.

"I can see why criminal defense lawyer would say, you know what, you can't. You got to stay in the background: Don't talk," said Lara Yeretsia, a leading West Coast-based defense attorney. "but I can also see why it's so difficult in this situation, how horrific it is and what the impact is, because he's the last person who saw her."

North Port Police Public Information Officer Josh Taylor said Friday his department has received more than 1,000 tips in the search for missing Gabby Petito, but the vast majority haven’t been helpful. 

He did say though that nuggets of information have been useful. In a push for more information from the public, Taylor reminded reporters that Brian Laundrie – the person of interest in this case – didn’t make it back from the western U.S. to Florida in Petito's van on “one tank of gas.” 

He also said “nothing has been ruled out” linking Petito’s disappearance to a double-homicide in the Moab, Utah area where the couple visited, but he has “heard of no definitive connections.” 

Taylor also said Laundrie’s sister Cassie – who recently told ABC’s “Good Morning America” she spoke to investigators, unlike Brian – provided nothing of substance in the search for Petito’s whereabouts.
