Petito’s body was discovered on Sept. 19 in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. An autopsy later revealed her cause of death to be strangulation. Before returning to Florida and committing suicide, Laundrie claimed responsibility for her death. On top of the bodycam video, the family's attorneys said more proof of police negligence exists.
