Investigation of missing persons

Brian is not gone.

Brian’s sister Cassandra told ABC News that she’s been following events through the news.

Of course, my family and I hope that Gabe will be found. She’s like a sister and my kids love her, all I want is for her to come home safely and securely, and that’s just a huge misunderstanding, she says.

But the family’s attorney Pettito does not believe that is the case.

Gaby’s entire family wants the world to know that Brian isn’t missing, he’s in hiding. Gabe is gone, he says.
