He was first reported missing by his mother, Grainne McLaughlin, who is visiting from Ireland to help in search efforts.

“At this phase we have absolutely no idea,” she told NewsNation.

“We are trying to understand what may have happened.”

Originally from Ireland, Cian McLaughlin was living in Jackson, Wyoming, working as a snowboard instructor and bartender.

According to his mother, he also has a very thick Irish accent that would make him easily identifiable.

On the day McLaughlin reportedly went missing, he was hiking on the Lupine Meadows trail. A witness saw him around 3.45pm in the afternoon.

McLaughlin was an experienced outdoorsman, but the conditions on the trails were particularly dangerous in early June as there was melting snow and ice.

Grand Teton National Park is the same park that the body of Gabby Petito's body was found in early this year.

Gabby Petito was a 22-year-old who went on a cross-country road trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, and never returned home.

She was last seen on August 24, 2021, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Her body was found on September 19 in Grand Teton National Park, and the cause of death was revealed to be strangulation.
