Gary Wayt | 'Teen Mom' Star Amber Portwood's Fiancé Missing After Family Party in North Carolina

SWAIN COUNTY, NC (WTVD) — “Teen Mom” ​​reality star Amber Portwood's fiancé was reported missing in North Carolina on Sunday after he said they attended a family party.

According to ABC11 affiliate WLOS, Gary Wayt attended Portwood's brother's wedding on Saturday. Police said Wayt went missing Sunday evening.

Bryson City Police Chief Charlie Robinson told WLOS the couple recently got engaged and traveled from Indiana for the wedding and to celebrate their engagement.

Police said Portwood and Wayt were staying in a rented cabin at Twin Oaks Lodge when he disappeared.

Robinson said Wayt was last seen in a 2009 Nissan Rogue with Indiana license plates. He was described as 6'1 and 205 pounds, bald with brown eyes.

“On Sunday, they had some kind of disagreement. He left. And when he left, he took his wallet and his keys and that's the last time he was seen,” Robinson said. “One thing I find unusual is he just grabbed his wallet and his keys. He left his other personal items there. He left his cell phone there.”

Portwood said she and Wayt planned to leave Monday, but she decided to stay in the area until he was found.

“The family hasn't heard from him…I've talked to his parents, his siblings, his fiancée…” Robinson said. “None of his friends have heard from him. We're just trying to locate him and make sure he's safe.”

The show “Teen Mom” ​​documents the challenges of the early years of motherhood to four teenage girls.

Anyone with information on Wayt's whereabouts is asked to call (828) 488-3050 or (828) 488-2196 and ask for Chief Robinson or Deputy Chief Dover.
