NORTH PORT, Fla. - North Port's City Center Front Green isn't usually a busy part of town, with an open, quiet, park-like feel.
However, in the past week, it's become a place for gathering, memorial, and reflection as community members await answers in the death of Gabby Petito and the disappearance of her fiancé, Brian Laundrie.In the middle of the Center Front Green sits a giant tree."The gentleman who donated the tree wanted it to be the celebration.
We light it every year for the holidays. Little did we know that it would be a gathering place for a memorial," said North Port Mayor Jill Luke.The memorial to 22-year-old Gabby Petito grows by the day.
