Gabby Petito’s family notified Utah officials of plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that police failed to recognize their daughter was in a life-threatening situation last year when officers investigated a fight between her and her boyfriend.
The Petito family attorneys say her death at Laundrie's hands may not have happened at all had Moab police acted differently during that traffic stop, which involved allegations -- and physical evidence -- that both had hurt each other in some way. Cops separated the couple for the night, with Laundrie checking into a motel and Petito staying in their converted van.
Police in Moab, Utah, on Thursday released new body camera footage of a stop involving Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie in the days before the 22-year-old Long Island native went missing in Wyoming. In announcing their notice of claim Monday, McConkie pointed to"chronic problems" within the Moab City police department, like"high turnover, lack of leadership and dangerous management for years" in accusing it of failing to protect Petito.
"I want to say that he was trying to grab her phone, and I'm not sure exactly why," the witness said over a phone call. Protesters picketed outside the home of Brian Laundrie's parents as the search for him continues in Gabby Petito's disappearance. Samantha Serbin reports.
