Amber filed the missing report on June 10 after the pair were staying in what appears to be a VRBO cabin in Bryson City, about 60 miles west of Asheville.
In a conversation with the sheriff’s department, they confirmed “we are still trying to find him at the moment, he’s been missing since June 9.”

Gary, 39, drives a gray 2009 Nissan Rogue with Indiana state registration plates, according to the missing description.
The Teen Mom star has yet to comment publicly on Gary’s disappearance.
Amber has been dating Gary since late last year and, according to reports, she and her new love interest got engaged in late May.
AMBER’S TOUGH PAST
Amber shares daughter Leah, 15, with her ex Gary Shirley, and son James, 6, with her other ex Andrew Glennon.
The Teen Mom star currently does not have custody of either child.
Her difficult relationship with her daughter Leah has played out on the MTV show during its current season.
During last week’s episode, Amber joined Leah , her father Gary Shirley , 37, and stepmother Kristina, 37, for dinner at a restaurant to ring in their daughter’s 15th birthday.
However, Amber ended up in a heated argument with her ex.
The fight was prompted when Shirley got angry at Amber for not being on time for Leah’s party.
The pair continued to fight as Leah was caught between them.
Leah began to cry and shield her face as Shirley apologized to the teen.
Leah eventually asked to be excused from the table and her stepmom escorted her to the bathroom.
Amber spent 17 months behind bars after pleading guilty two felony charges of domestic battery.
LIFE AFTER PRISON
Upon release, Amber opened up to InTouch about being incarcerated.
“Before prison, I never thought about Leah. I was addicted to drugs and didn’t care about anything else. Prison saved my life — and gave me a second chance at being a mother,” the mom-of-two said.
While she said she has since been trying to re-connect with Leah, Amber’s parenting challenges don’t end there.
