Gabby Petito's father, Joseph Petito, participated in the search for Daniel Robinson, a geologist missing since June 2021 in Arizona. Petito, along with 100 other volunteers, searched for Robinson, whose disappearance drew attention following the high-profile case of Petito's own daughter. Robinson was last seen leaving work, with his Jeep found later after rolling into a ravine. David Robinson continues to seek answers about his son, with Petito empathizing over the importance of finding closure in the face of tragedy.
"It's inspirational, the amount of energy it takes to do what he does with the heartache and the unknowing that goes on every day," Petito told the outlet.
"There's never gonna be closure on the death of a child, but there is starting the grieving process properly, and David hasn't been able to do that yet," said Petito.
"I've been telling him [David] for years I really want to get out there and I saw this one coming up and I was like 'I don't care what the schedule is, I'm coming for ya buddy,'" he said.
Gabby's widely publicized search and recovery mission renewed demand for authorities to find Robinson in September 2021, when her remains were discovered in a Wyoming national park.
