Yesterday marked the fifth day in the search for Brian Laundrie, just days after the remains of Gabby Petito were found on the edge of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Her death has been ruled as a homicide.
Ms Petito went missing while on a cross-country trip with Laundrie, who has since been named as a person of interest in the case.
Searchers are attempting to locate Laundrie in the vast Carlton Park in Florida. A team of divers have also joined the search.
Authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward, and while the case has received a huge amount of interest from online sleuths, Michael Schneider, the FBI special agent in charge, has said: "No piece of information is too small or inconsequential to support our efforts in this investigation."
The case has generated a huge amount of public interest, but it has also raised important questions about the role race plays in missing person cases. Many have compared it to the lack of coverage given to the hundreds of cases of missing Native American women, and other minority women who disappear in the United States.Explore more on these topics:
