"Gossip Girl" star goes missing: relatives suspect her husband

Chanel Banks, the actress and star of the "Gossip Girl" TV series, who played the role of Sawyer Bennett, has gone missing. She hasn't been in touch since the end of October, and the actress' new husband refuses to cooperate with the police in search of the celebrity.

The disappearance turned out to be mysterious, as Banks left her apartment in Los Angeles, leaving all her personal belongings, car, and pets, which she always took with her. However, her cell phone and laptop disappeared along with the actress. These details were reported by Newsweek.

The family has filed a missing persons report with the Los Angeles police and is now looking for a private investigator to help find the missing woman.

"I can tell you that something is wrong in my soul, in my gut. We have been living for two weeks now without a single word, without a single sound. Nothing," said Danielle-Tori Singh, Banks' cousin.

The police visited the actress's apartment several times, but she did not appear there. Everything was still intact. According to the actress's sister, the celebrity "never goes anywhere without her little dog." Moreover, the two women got along well and often talked, and the absence of calls that day alarmed Singh.

"Five days without hearing from my cousin is a wake-up call. She has not avoided talking to me or her mother for more than 48 hours," she said.

The family also suspects Chanel Banks' husband of kidnapping because of his refusal to cooperate with the investigation. Singh admits that three days ago she noticed numerous marks and scratches on his neck and arms, and his lip was busted. The police photographed these injuries as one of the pieces of evidence. The family claims that during the first police check after the actress's disappearance, these marks of an alleged fight were not present.

Singh also said that her husband "took down the announcements about the actress's disappearance from poles and cars." Chanel Banks married this man in August 2023.
