Amber Portwood's
fiance Gary R. Wayt was spotted in Weatherford, OK on Tuesday morning - over 1,200 miles West from where
he went missing Sunday night
after leaving his phone at their
North Carolina
hotel room and headed to a local Walgreens.
The 39-year-old groom-to-be 'had a calm and nonchalant demeanor' and introduced himself as 'Gary' to the purported witness, who then contacted Bryson City PD Asst. Chief Wayne Dover - according to
TMZ
.
It's the first sign Gary is 'alive and well' noted Dover, who's been in touch with the
FBI
and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for assistance on the case.
Page Six
reported Thursday that Bryson City Police Department received a notification that Wayt's
Indiana
license plate 'WLH 616' was on an
Oklahoma
highway and got a video of him driving his grey 2009 Nissan Rogue.
A Verizon employee also alerted the BCPD that Gary visited their store in Oklahoma, but it's 'unclear if he purchased anything.'

'His parents, everybody is very worried. I am worried. We are very scared right now,' Amber told
YouTube
vlogger Elle Bee on Tuesday.
'There was not a big blowout fight or anything like that...Nobody was heated or anything, it was emotional because it had something to do with the fact of his parents being Vietnamese and me being who I am. He was very upset about this, I was upset. We do not yell at each other, we do not hurt each other.'
Portwood revealed Wayt's SUV didn't have GPS as she cried: 'We are very in love. This man asked me to be with him, this man then asked me to marry him. Please, if anybody sees him or hears anything, please, I am begging all of you guys.'
The 34-year-old reality star - who suffers from bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder - originally met Gary last September through a dating app and they
got engaged in late May
.
'I am not what people have been saying about me all of these years,' Amber said, defending her character.
'I changed a long time ago, okay? You have to understand this. Please listen to what I am saying, I am an honest person to you guys.'
Portwood notoriously lost custody of her six-year-old son James Andrew Glennon in 2022 after being charged with two counts of domestic battery and one count of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon (a machete) against her Cali-based babydaddy Andrew Glennon in 2019.
The hot-tempered ex-con shares 50-50 custody of her 15-year-old daughter Leah Leann Shirley with ex-fiance Gary Shirley following her year-long prison stint in 2012-2013 stemming from an on-camera altercation with him.
