Neither parent started contacting the Laundries until the 10th.
Interviewer
Did you ever reach out to her and say "
can you please help me find my daughter?"
Gabby's mum
Yes I reached out to her on Friday the 9th or the 10th I'm sorry. I texted her "
I'm worried about the kids, I haven't heard from them" and I got nothing. Called left messages, got nothing.
Interviewer
She won't even call you back?
Gabby's mum
Nope.
Interviewer
And Joe you and Tara, you've reached out and they won't call you back?
Gabby's dad
We've called on the 10th, I can't tell you how many times. We sent text messages "
We're worried", "we're calling the police". I mean if someone texted me that they're calling the police because they can't find my son, I'm gonna drop whatever I'm doing to call back. I guess it's evident how they run their household.
Step-mum
She knew her son was home that time when we were texting her. At that point we didn't know that he was home.
