“Her mood was fine, she didn’t seem like anything was up,” Mr Pickford told news.com.au on Tuesday night. “This is completely out of character. She’s never spent more than one night away on her own and this is night five.“She just suddenly left when everyone was in bed.”The teenager’s mother called Mr Pickford at 11.30pm to report their daughter missing.Gabbriela’s parents say she downloaded Instagram on a sibling’s iPad while at her mother’s house.“I’ve got her phone, she didn’t take her phone to her mother’s house,” he said.
Mr Pickford said she doesn’t typically go to the area and it was “completely out of her circle of friends”.She has been missing since Friday, August 28.
