Amber Portwood’s new man is still missing, despite being spotted in video footage far from his North Carolina home.
Nearly a week after the Teen Mom star alerted the police to her missing loved one, officials have released an update on their investigation.
Turns out, they found Gary Wayt – only to have lost him again.
Amber Portwood’s Missing Fiancé Spotted 900 Miles Away From Home
Now, this story has become a bit confusing, but here’s the latest that we can share.
On June 11, MTV star Amber Portwood reported her fiancé Gary Wayt missing in North Carolina.
On that same day, footage was taken of Gary placing him 900 miles away from his NC resident.
In a statement to ET, a spokesperson for the Bryson City Police Department in North Carolina explained, “Gary was seen on camera in a Verizon store in Oklahoma” on June 11. From there, “it seems he headed toward New Mexico when the tag readers picked up his car there,” the spokesperson added.
But seeing Gary is not the same as Gary being found. The spokesperson explained that while they have information of Gary being in “New Mexico at one point” after June 11th, they have no more information on where he is now.
As such, “Gary will stay as a missing person until he contacts Bryson City Police or contacts another law enforcement officer,” the spokesperson said.
Is Gary Missing Or Just Leaving Amber?
“Amber stated she and Gary were having an argument and Gary picked up his car keys and wallet and walked out the door and drove off in a 2009 Nissan Rouge gray in color,” a statement the police gave to reporters read.
While Amber is “devastated,” it remains unclear what the pair fought about and why he’s been unreachable ever since. Reportedly, he has not spoken to Amber or any member of his family since he left.
Anyone with information on Gary’s whereabouts is asked to call 828-488-2196 and ask for Chief Robinson or Asst. Chief Dover.
