[narrator] This is the story
of the dark side
of viral fame.
20
00:00:45.066 --> 00:00:49.166 line:5%
Brian and Gabby
were seen arguing
in front of a grocery store.
21
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.166
[narrator]
And it's a cautionary tale
22
00:00:55.166 --> 00:00:57.367
about the warning signs
of domestic violence.
23
00:01:01.166 --> 00:01:04.467
The body cam video was a Gabby
I had never seen.
24
00:01:04.467 --> 00:01:06.266
She was petrified.
25
00:01:06.266 --> 00:01:08.367
[narrator] We reveal
never before seen footage
26
00:01:08.367 --> 00:01:10.867
of Brian and Gabby's
last hours together.
27
00:01:10.867 --> 00:01:13.400
We saw them on video,
walking into the store.
28
00:01:13.467 --> 00:01:17.500
Domestic violence survivors
really zeroed in on this case.
29
00:01:17.567 --> 00:01:19.166
[narrator]
And for the first time ever,
30
00:01:19.166 --> 00:01:20.967
we hear from
the horse mounted unit
31
00:01:20.967 --> 00:01:23.767
that searched for Gabby
in the wilds of Wyoming.
32
00:01:23.767 --> 00:01:26.000
The clock
is literally ticking.

00:01:26.066 --> 00:01:28.867
[Deputy Andrew Roundy]
First thing that caught my eye
was cloth fabric.
34
00:01:28.867 --> 00:01:30.000
Did we really just find Gabby?
Is that really her?
35
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.000
Did we really just find Gabby?
Is that really her?
36
00:01:32.367 --> 00:01:35.400
[narrator] This is the story

heard it before.

00:01:50.367 --> 00:01:52.867
Hello, hello.
And good morning.
41
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:58.000
[Kelley Vick] The world first
came to know Gabby Petito
42
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.000
through the sensationalized
story of this young
social media influencer

through the sensationalized
story of this young
social media influencer
44
00:02:03.567 --> 00:02:05.500
who met a terrible fate
while traveling
45
00:02:05.567 --> 00:02:08.400
with her fiance,
Brian Laundrie in 2021.
46
00:02:09.567 --> 00:02:12.100 line:5%
But before she went viral,
47
00:02:12.166 --> 00:02:15.800 line:5%
she was just a regular,
beautiful young Gen Z kid
48
00:02:16.700 --> 00:02:18.166 line:5%
growing up
in Blue Point, New York.

My name's Brian Entin.
50
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:24.667 line:5%
I'm a senior
national correspondent
with NewsNation.
51
00:02:26.767 --> 00:02:30.000
I've been covering
the Gabby Petito story
really since the beginning.
52
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:30.166
I've been covering
the Gabby Petito story
really since the beginning.
53
00:02:31.367 --> 00:02:34.000
One thing that struck me
was how close her family was.
54
00:02:34.066 --> 00:02:38.266
You know, with a lot of
divorced parents,
it's not always like that.
55
00:02:38.266 --> 00:02:41.700
But her parents, even though
they're remarried,
remained very, very close.
56
00:02:47.166 --> 00:02:48.233 line:5%
[Asya Hayes] Gabby was
the type of person
57
00:02:48.266 --> 00:02:50.967 line:5%
where everybody
would gravitate towards.
58
00:02:50.967 --> 00:02:54.867
She was someone who would
always throw in a good joke
in the middle of something,
59
00:02:54.867 --> 00:02:57.266
make people laugh.

High in 2017

[Vick] Gabby graduates
from Bayport-Blue Point
High in 2017
62
00:03:00.867 --> 00:03:01.000
and although 90%
of her classmates
went right into college,
63
00:03:05.467 --> 00:03:07.000
Gabby wanted to
find her own path
64
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.567
and think about college later.
65
00:03:11.266 --> 00:03:13.900 line:5%
[Brook Carpenter]
It was a very prestigious
high school in New York.
66
00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:18.800 line:5%
She was very intelligent,
Gabby was.
67
00:03:18.867 --> 00:03:21.600
But I think that
she wanted to see
68
00:03:21.667 --> 00:03:23.266
what else there was out there.
69
00:03:26.066 --> 00:03:29.467
So she decides to work,
to start raising money
for what she really craves
70
00:03:29.467 --> 00:03:30.000
which is adventure.
71
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.667
which is adventure.
72
00:03:32.767 --> 00:03:35.667
[Hayes] She said the world
always had a lot to offer.
73
00:03:35.667 --> 00:03:38.367
And she wanted to get
to explore all of it.
74
00:03:38.367 --> 00:03:43.000
So, she definitely had
intentions of traveling.
75
00:03:44.367 --> 00:03:46.667
[Carpenter]
I was Gabby's manager
at a restaurant.
76
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:49.567
You always knew
when Gabby got to work.
77
00:03:49.567 --> 00:03:50.567
Always.
78
00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:52.667
The whole atmosphere changed
in the restaurant.
79
00:03:52.667 --> 00:03:54.900
She was friends with everyone
at work. Everyone.
80
00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:59.900
Gabby would just walk right up
and give you a hug
81
00:03:59.967 --> 00:04:00.000
or tell you that
your hair still looked nice
at the end of the night.
82
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.000
or tell you that
your hair still looked nice
at the end of the night.
83
00:04:04.867 --> 00:04:08.667
She was always trying to
make others happy
all the time.
84
00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:18.567
By early 2019,
Gabby reconnects
85
00:04:18.567 --> 00:04:21.367
with an old high school
friend, Brian Laundrie.
86
00:04:23.567 --> 00:04:26.000
Gabby Petito
never goes outside.
87
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.500
[both laughing]
88
00:04:28.567 --> 00:04:30.000 line:5%
So when Brian and Gabby
first reconnect,
89
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:30.567 line:5%
So when Brian and Gabby
first reconnect,
90
00:04:30.567 --> 00:04:31.000 line:5%
he's actually about to follow
his parents down to Florida
91
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.467 line:5%
where they recently moved.
92
00:04:36.266 --> 00:04:40.667 line:5%
[Elaine Allen-Emrich]
Brian's parents
are business owners.
93
00:04:40.667 --> 00:04:44.467 line:5%
The family business
was food related machinery.
94
00:04:45.867 --> 00:04:47.767
[Brian Entin]
The Laundries seemed
like nice people.
95
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.967
Hard working people.
96
00:04:49.967 --> 00:04:52.867
So Brian and Gabby
did know each other
casually in high school,
97
00:04:52.867 --> 00:04:54.367
but they never dated.
98
00:04:54.367 --> 00:04:57.100
So their first official date
is March 2019,
99
00:04:57.166 --> 00:04:59.066
which ends up
being a sushi dinner date.
100
00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:11.867
[Vick] While they bonded
over a mutual love
of nature and art,
101
00:05:11.867 --> 00:05:15.367
Gabby was into
healthiness and fitness.
102
00:05:15.367 --> 00:05:19.500
And Brian was more of a loner
103
00:05:19.567 --> 00:05:22.400
and really hard core
about the outdoors.
104
00:05:24.567 --> 00:05:27.400
And it didn't seem like
Brian Laundrie really had
that many friends.
105
00:05:27.467 --> 00:05:30.000
There weren't a lot of,
you know, best friends
106
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
or close friends from his past
that we were able
to come across.
107
00:05:34.166 --> 00:05:36.100
But despite their differences,
108
00:05:36.166 --> 00:05:39.667
Gabby and Brian move in
with his parents
in North Port, Florida.
109
00:05:39.667 --> 00:05:40.900
[soft guitar music playing]
110
00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:46.266
[Entin] Not only was she close
with his parents,
111
00:05:46.266 --> 00:05:48.400
but she was close with
his siblings
112
00:05:48.467 --> 00:05:50.700
and his nieces and nephews.
113
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.300
People are creating brand new
ways of living and working.
114
00:05:56.367 --> 00:05:58.567
So it makes complete sense
that Gabby decides
115
00:05:58.567 --> 00:06:00.000
to focus her love
of travel and adventure
116
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:00.700
to focus her love
of travel and adventure
117
00:06:00.767 --> 00:06:01.000
into building a career
as a social media influencer.
118
00:06:04.700 --> 00:06:05.767
[camera clicks]
119
00:06:06.767 --> 00:06:08.567
[keyboard clacking]
120
00:06:09.967 --> 00:06:13.367
[Entin] An influencer
is someone who is trying to
build a following online.
121
00:06:13.367 --> 00:06:15.800
Many of them are trying to
monetize it and make money.
122
00:06:16.767 --> 00:06:21.266
Gabby was clearly trying to
make money.
123
00:06:21.266 --> 00:06:23.300
I believe she really
wanted to inspire people.
124
00:06:23.367 --> 00:06:25.867
I think that's just
who she was.
125
00:06:25.867 --> 00:06:29.100
And it was easy
to gravitate towards that.
126
00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:30.000
You know, good people
recognize good people.
127
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.000
You know, good people
recognize good people.
128
00:06:31.166 --> 00:06:33.100
And Gabby was a good person.
129
00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:36.166
Gabby finally got to a point
130
00:06:36.166 --> 00:06:41.900
where she felt confident
in who she was
on her social media.
131
00:06:41.967 --> 00:06:45.367
She seemed more aware
of what she wanted
out of her life
132
00:06:45.367 --> 00:06:47.166
and how she was going to
get it.
133
00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:53.100
[whimsical music playing]
134
00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:56.100
[Eboni Williams] By the fall,
Brian and Gabby
had been dating
135
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:57.467
about seven months.
136
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.000
So they decide
they're going to drive
to California together.
137
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:00.967
So they decide
they're going to drive
to California together.
138
00:07:00.967 --> 00:07:01.000
It'll be a ton of fun,
but it'll also allow Gabby
139
00:07:03.567 --> 00:07:06.100
to test drive the social media
influencer thing.
140
00:07:07.567 --> 00:07:10.066
[Brent Shavnore]
She was promoting
healthy eating, clean living,
141
00:07:11.367 --> 00:07:14.266 line:5%
not polluting the environment,
going out, being free
142
00:07:14.266 --> 00:07:18.000 line:5%
and away from the daily
distraction we have in life.
143
00:07:24.467 --> 00:07:27.266
[Williams] So now they take
their first cross country
trip together.
144
00:07:27.266 --> 00:07:30.000
They do it in Gabby's car
and she's having
the time of her life.
145
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:30.166
They do it in Gabby's car
and she's having
the time of her life.
146
00:07:35.767 --> 00:07:38.300
They go back
and Gabby buys a van
147
00:07:38.367 --> 00:07:41.667
for her and Brian to have
for their next trip
and live out of.
148
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.467
She and Brian renovate it,
they're super excited.
149
00:07:48.467 --> 00:07:51.166
They're gonna make
an amazing trip together.

-You got it.
-[chuckles] Oh my God.
152
00:07:56.467 --> 00:07:58.367
[Williams] And then,
they get engaged.
153
00:08:02.667 --> 00:08:04.367
Gabby's posting
on social media,
154
00:08:04.367 --> 00:08:06.867
she's really excited
about the engagement.
155
00:08:06.867 --> 00:08:10.567
And they're gonna live out of
this tiny van and go across
the country together.
156
00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:13.000
Have they really
thought this through?
157
00:08:17.567 --> 00:08:21.367 line:5%
[Liz Sollis] I think
most of us just want
to be loved, right?
158
00:08:21.367 --> 00:08:24.567 line:5%
I don't think any one of us
get into any relationship
159
00:08:24.567 --> 00:08:28.066
under the thought process
that we're gonna end up
160
00:08:28.066 --> 00:08:30.000
controlled, depressed,
abused, isolated.
161
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.000
controlled, depressed,
abused, isolated.
162
00:08:33.166 --> 00:08:34.467
I don't think
anyone picks that.
163

Survivors and victims,

they still want to focus
on the positives.

I think that Gabby
was the most hopeless romantic
166
00:08:48.066 --> 00:08:50.367 line:5%
I'd pretty much ever met.
167
00:08:50.367 --> 00:08:52.166
I think that she just
wanted it so bad

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.066

[pleasant music playing]
173
00:09:15.567 --> 00:09:17.200
[Vick] In July 2021,
174
00:09:17.266 --> 00:09:20.367
Gabby Petito
and Brian Laundrie
pack up Gabby's van,
175
00:09:20.367 --> 00:09:22.767
heading west to hit
a checklist of national parks
176
00:09:22.767 --> 00:09:25.467
in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
177
00:09:26.767 --> 00:09:27.900
I love the van.
178
00:09:29.667 --> 00:09:32.900 line:5%
For the first few weeks,
the couple drive and camp
179
00:09:32.967 --> 00:09:35.166 line:5%
and document
their van life experience
180
00:09:35.166 --> 00:09:37.467 line:5%
with the goal of turning this
into a career.
181
00:09:37.467 --> 00:09:37.914
Me and Brian just got up
and got ready,
182
00:09:37.914 --> 00:09:38.000
Me and Brian just got up
and got ready,
183
00:09:40.767 --> 00:09:43.100
made the bed in the tent.
184
00:09:44.467 --> 00:09:46.800 line:5%
Like, wow. I wish
I could have done this
when I was their age,
185
00:09:46.867 --> 00:09:48.967 line:5%
this incredible adventure.
186
00:09:48.967 --> 00:09:52.400
Even everything in the van
looked like it had
its perfect little place.
187
00:09:54.166 --> 00:09:56.800
And I think
she was doing that to try
to build this following.
188
00:09:57.867 --> 00:09:59.367
I mean, she had the equipment
she needed.
189
00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:02.467
She had a drone,
she had the camera,
she had the laptop,
190
00:10:02.467 --> 00:10:05.066
hoping that she could document
more of this trip.
191
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:07.914 line:5%
[Carpenter] They were going
on this journey

[Carpenter] They were going

with their significant other.
194
00:10:12.667 --> 00:10:14.066 line:5%

197
00:10:23.567 --> 00:10:26.467 line:5%
The wind is so bad.
198
00:10:26.467 --> 00:10:29.400
I think what stood out
about Gabby
is what she was doing
199
00:10:29.467 --> 00:10:31.266
just felt so wholesome.
200
00:10:31.266 --> 00:10:33.600
You look at her video
and her Instagram.
201
00:10:33.667 --> 00:10:36.500
It was focused on travel.
It was focused on adventure.
202
00:10:38.266 --> 00:10:40.667
And I think that's something
that people connected with.
203
00:10:40.667 --> 00:10:41.867
[laughing]
204
00:10:41.867 --> 00:10:43.767
[Vick] But there's
a stark contrast
205
00:10:43.767 --> 00:10:46.600
between Gabby's online persona
and Brian's.
206
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.567
It seemed to me like
she was definitely
the more upbeat one,
207
00:10:52.567 --> 00:10:54.900
at least online and visibly.
208
00:10:56.867 --> 00:11:00.567
I didn't get that sense
from Brian Laundries's
social media posts.
209
00:11:04.467 --> 00:11:07.914
[Allen-Emrich]
Brian's posts on social media
were way more dark.
210
00:11:07.914 --> 00:11:08.000
[Allen-Emrich]
Brian's posts on social media
were way more dark.
211
00:11:08.066 --> 00:11:10.400
Artwork that he drew,
it was dark.
212
00:11:10.467 --> 00:11:14.667
It was in a totally different
place than where Gabby was.
213
00:11:14.667 --> 00:11:18.467 line:5%
It was not light and airy
the way Gabby is.
214
00:11:18.467 --> 00:11:19.767 line:5%
It's two different worlds.
215
00:11:22.900 --> 00:11:27.000
And for her, it was rainbows
and butterflies and sunshine.
216
00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:29.967
His material is dark.
217
00:11:35.900 --> 00:11:37.914
Gabby's calling her mom
every day or every other day
218
00:11:37.914 --> 00:11:38.000
Gabby's calling her mom
every day or every other day
219
00:11:38.867 --> 00:11:42.000
and she and Brian are both
posting regular updates.
220
00:11:42.767 --> 00:11:46.400
It is really nice
and sunny today.
221
00:11:46.467 --> 00:11:49.266
We've been lucky so far
at all the places
we've stayed.
222
00:11:50.467 --> 00:11:52.400
[Vick] They used an app
called The Dyrt
223
00:11:52.467 --> 00:11:55.066
that shows exactly
where you're camping.
224
00:11:55.166 --> 00:11:59.567
So, online followers are able
to follow your journey
step by step.

She wanted to help people.
She liked to
make people smile.

[whimsical music playing]
231
00:12:24.166 --> 00:12:28.266
[Williams] So how social media
influencers make their money
is through sponsorships.
232
00:12:28.266 --> 00:12:30.200 line:5%
And until you get
that following count up,
233
00:12:30.266 --> 00:12:33.700 line:5%
you've got no income
and you're essentially living
off your savings.
234
00:12:33.767 --> 00:12:35.767
I'm sure they were
trying to strategize
235
00:12:35.767 --> 00:12:37.914
about how to make their money
last as long as possible.
236
00:12:37.914 --> 00:12:38.000
about how to make their money
last as long as possible.
237
00:12:38.767 --> 00:12:40.400
I mean, it was a long trip.
238
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.100
[Shavnore] Being a social
media influencer
is a massive commitment.
239
00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:52.266
It's not easy. It takes
consistency, constant posting.
240
00:12:52.266 --> 00:12:54.767
Then, you have to deal with
the struggles of your van
not working,
241
00:12:54.767 --> 00:12:57.400
keeping it clean,
finding a place to sleep.

00:12:57.467 --> 00:13:00.367 line:5%
Extremely challenging
situation for Gabby and Brian,
243
00:13:00.367 --> 00:13:02.900 line:5%
just not on a financial level,
but emotional level too.
244
00:13:02.967 --> 00:13:04.567
[suspenseful music playing]
245
00:13:08.066 --> 00:13:13.500
By the end of July,
the near constant cheery posts
become more sporadic
246
00:13:13.567 --> 00:13:15.700
and people start to wonder
if something's wrong.
247
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.967
Only four posts appeared
on Gabby's Instagram account
in August.
248
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.967
And the last one said,
"Happy Halloween."
249
00:13:28.767 --> 00:13:30.066
Not so strange,
250
00:13:30.066 --> 00:13:33.367
except it was posted
on August 25th.
251
00:13:33.367 --> 00:13:36.567
So Gabby's followers
start to wonder
if something's amiss.
252
00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:41.867
[Carpenter]
I think that this was
the first picture that I saw
253
00:13:41.867 --> 00:13:44.700
that made me kind of wonder
what was going on.
254
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:49.166
People thought that it was
not posted by her
255
00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:52.900
or taken at a different time.
256
00:13:54.767 --> 00:13:57.500
And Gabby isn't just absent
from social media.
257
00:13:57.567 --> 00:14:00.100
She's no longer giving
her family updates
from the road.
258
00:14:01.467 --> 00:14:03.300
Gabby's parents start
to get worried
259
00:14:03.367 --> 00:14:04.967
when she wasn't responsive.
260
00:14:08.066 --> 00:14:09.367
[tense music playing]
261
00:14:14.767 --> 00:14:16.367
And then, Brian Laundrie
comes back
262
00:14:16.367 --> 00:14:18.567
to his parents' house
in North Port, Florida,
263
00:14:18.567 --> 00:14:21.300
in her van without her.
264
00:14:21.367 --> 00:14:25.100
Gabby Petito's parents
were reaching out
to the Laundries saying,
265
00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:28.266
"We haven't heard from Gabby.
Where is Gabby?
266
00:14:28.266 --> 00:14:30.767
We hear Brian is back
in Florida.
267
00:14:30.767 --> 00:14:32.166
What the heck is going on?"
268
00:14:33.300 --> 00:14:34.367
And they get ignored.
269
00:14:34.367 --> 00:14:36.100
The Laundries
won't take their calls,
270
00:14:37.066 --> 00:14:37.914
won't respond
to their text messages.
271
00:14:37.914 --> 00:14:38.000
won't respond
to their text messages.
272
00:14:38.967 --> 00:14:40.867
The Laudries retained
an attorney
273
00:14:40.867 --> 00:14:44.467
and that attorney says,
"Stay silent.
Don't talk to anyone."

[somber music playing]
275
00:14:48.467 --> 00:14:52.467
[Allen-Emrich] Nicole Schmidt,
Gabby's mother,
reported her missing
276
00:14:52.467 --> 00:14:57.467
then said, "My daughter speaks
to me everyday
or every other day.
277
00:14:57.467 --> 00:15:01.567
We don't go more than two days
without talking."
278
00:15:01.567 --> 00:15:04.100
[Vick] So Gabby's mom
reports her missing
to the police

00:15:04.166 --> 00:15:06.166
in Suffolk County, New York.

But when they check with

But when they check with
their counterparts in Florida,

the Laundries refuse
to talk to the cops as well.

It's bizarre.

Gabby's disappearance.

[Entin] I was one of the first
reporters to get there.

00:15:37.567 --> 00:15:37.914
It wasn't like this was
just a missing person
293

It wasn't like this was
just a missing person
294
00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:44.200
where, you know, a family
gives you two photos
and that's all you have.
295
00:15:44.266 --> 00:15:46.700
From the very beginning,
it was easy to connect
to the story
296
00:15:46.767 --> 00:15:48.900
because there were
so many images out there.

299
00:15:55.266 --> 00:16:01.767
Gabby Petito's social media
presence made this story
a compelling story.
300
00:16:01.767 --> 00:16:04.667
[Entin] I think people
became kind of obsessed
301
00:16:04.667 --> 00:16:07.266
with figuring out
what happened
from the very beginning.
302
00:16:08.867 --> 00:16:09.967

hashtags in the posts
that she's never used before.

figure out Brian,

I feel like this is something
significant to look at.

The police have one goal:

00:16:35.367 --> 00:16:36.500
find Gabby.

We had had a
what we call an ATL

We got a phone call
from a detective in Florida.
317
00:16:51.567 --> 00:16:53.867
And he had some information
about a credit card
318
00:16:53.867 --> 00:16:56.467
or a debit card being used
in Jackson.

[Det. Smith] So, we start
to lay out a timeline

trying to narrow down
when and where
Gabby and Brian were.
323

hours of videos

surrounding that area
326
00:17:25.767 --> 00:17:27.634
and started gathering videos.
327
00:17:30.567 --> 00:17:33.900
[Williams] And after combing
through hundreds of hours
of surveillance footage...
328
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.166
The police finally
spot the van.
329
00:17:42.166 --> 00:17:45.367
[Det. Smith] The camera
showed us the van
turning into Whole Foods.
330
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.166
That's where we verified
that the van we had
was Gabby Petito's van
331
00:17:51.266 --> 00:17:53.166
because we saw them on video
332
00:17:53.166 --> 00:17:55.066
getting out of the van
and walking into the store.
333
00:17:57.166 --> 00:18:00.767
[Vick] What's really
mind-blowing about
this footage from Whole Foods
334
00:18:00.767 --> 00:18:04.200
is that it's likely
the last video image
335
00:18:04.266 --> 00:18:06.567
ever recorded of Gabby Petito.
336
00:18:06.567 --> 00:18:07.867
[suspenseful music playing]
337
00:18:11.467 --> 00:18:13.166
[Det. Smith] They kind of
wandered around a bit,
338
00:18:13.166 --> 00:18:14.767
looking at the store's goods.
339
00:18:16.100 --> 00:18:19.467
[Sollis] They are definitely
together and yet not together
340
00:18:19.467 --> 00:18:22.567
as they're going
through the store.
341
00:18:22.567 --> 00:18:27.700
They are maintaining a...
A distance pretty steadily.
342
00:18:27.767 --> 00:18:30.100
And her arms were...
Were crossed.
343
00:18:30.166 --> 00:18:31.767 line:5%
So perhaps crossing the arms
344
00:18:31.767 --> 00:18:33.500 line:5%
provided her
a little bit of comfort
345
00:18:33.567 --> 00:18:36.166 line:5%
and it also might have
provided her a little bit
of distance from him.
346
00:18:36.166 --> 00:18:37.914
It was a way perhaps to...
To say like,
347
00:18:37.914 --> 00:18:38.000
It was a way perhaps to...
To say like,
348
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:41.367
"Hey, I'm protecting me."
349
00:18:43.800 --> 00:18:45.200
[Det. Smith] I didn't see
anything purchased.
350
00:18:47.100 --> 00:18:48.667
Uh, were they short on cash?
I don't know.
351
00:18:49.667 --> 00:18:51.667
And then, they left.
352
00:18:51.667 --> 00:18:55.266
[Chapman] The documentation
from surveillance
was crucial in this case
353
00:18:55.266 --> 00:19:00.367
because it allowed
law enforcement
to track their whereabouts
354
00:19:00.367 --> 00:19:03.800
which is much to the benefit
of eventually finding her.
355
00:19:05.567 --> 00:19:06.700
There was information
that we learned
356
00:19:06.767 --> 00:19:07.914 line:5%
there might have been
an incident earlier in the day
357
00:19:07.914 --> 00:19:08.000 line:5%
there might have been
an incident earlier in the day
358
00:19:09.667 --> 00:19:11.567 line:5%
at a restaurant,
Merry Piglets.
359
00:19:14.567 --> 00:19:18.100
A detective of mine and I
interviewed the manager
of the restaurant
360
00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:20.700
and learned that
Gabby and Brian
were allegedly there
361
00:19:20.767 --> 00:19:23.266
and had eaten lunch
around noon.
362
00:19:23.266 --> 00:19:25.700
They then left
without paying for their bill.
363
00:19:25.767 --> 00:19:28.500
A manager told me that someone
from the restaurant went out
364
00:19:28.567 --> 00:19:30.467
and asked them, you know,
were they gonna pay.
365
00:19:30.467 --> 00:19:32.700
They eventually paid the bill.
366
00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:37.914
[Chapman] The behavior
that they presented
at Merry Piglets
367
00:19:37.914 --> 00:19:38.000
[Chapman] The behavior
that they presented
at Merry Piglets
368
00:19:38.367 --> 00:19:42.100
was clearly a sign
that something was awry
between the two of them.
369
00:19:44.367 --> 00:19:47.166
[Sollis] It is understandable
for both Gabby and Brian
370
00:19:47.166 --> 00:19:49.166
that if
their finances were low,
371
00:19:49.166 --> 00:19:50.800
that could be
a huge stressor for them.
372
00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:56.100
[Vick] As the investigation
progresses in Wyoming,
373
00:19:56.100 --> 00:19:58.900
something happens that turns
everything around
374
00:19:58.967 --> 00:20:04.200
both for law enforcement
and for Gabby's now growing
number of followers.
375
00:20:04.266 --> 00:20:07.914
On September 20th,
police in Moab, Utah, released
audio of a 9-1-1 call.
376
00:20:07.914 --> 00:20:08.000
On September 20th,
police in Moab, Utah, released
audio of a 9-1-1 call.
377
00:20:10.066 --> 00:20:14.166
This call was placed
on August 12th,
which was two weeks
378
00:20:14.166 --> 00:20:17.467
before Gabby and Brian
were last seen together
at Whole Foods.

[indistinct police radio]
381
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.600 line:5%
The Moab Police Department
received a 9-1-1 call
382
00:20:51.667 --> 00:20:54.800 line:5%
from someone who had
observed an incident
on Main Street in Moab.
383
00:21:07.567 --> 00:21:09.700
[Vick] Along with
the 9-1-1 audio,
384
00:21:09.767 --> 00:21:12.200
Moab Police released
body cam footage
385
00:21:12.266 --> 00:21:12.441
from a roadside incident
that followed the call.
386
00:21:12.441 --> 00:21:13.000
from a roadside incident
that followed the call.
387
00:21:15.367 --> 00:21:17.266
[siren wails]
388
00:21:17.266 --> 00:21:20.667
This footage would shed
a whole new light
on the case.
389
00:21:22.667 --> 00:21:24.400
[Sollis]
The officers responded.
390
00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:28.567
Did a great job in actually
being able to track them down.
391
00:21:28.567 --> 00:21:29.867
[indistinct radio]
392
00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:42.441
[Entin] When you think about
social media influencers,
393
00:21:42.441 --> 00:21:43.000
[Entin] When you think about
social media influencers,
394
00:21:44.266 --> 00:21:46.467 line:5%
there's always
this thought that,
395
00:21:46.467 --> 00:21:48.767 line:5%
"Gosh, they put on this show
396
00:21:48.767 --> 00:21:51.000 line:5%
to make it look
like everything is perfect."
397
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.867 line:5%
[laughing]
398
00:21:58.800 --> 00:22:02.300
[Entin] But when
that Moab video came out,
399
00:22:02.367 --> 00:22:04.867
it was like everything changed
in that moment.
400
00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:09.200
You saw a very,
very different side
401
00:22:09.266 --> 00:22:11.567
of Brian Laundrie
and Gabby Petito.
402
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:12.441
[sniffles]
403
00:22:12.441 --> 00:22:13.000

[sobs]
406
00:22:33.467 --> 00:22:35.900 line:5%
[Vick] So, it looks like
the dispute was caused
407
00:22:35.967 --> 00:22:37.867 line:5%
because Brian got dirt
in the van,
408
00:22:37.867 --> 00:22:42.166 line:5%
and Gabby wanted to keep up
this picture-perfect image
of cleanliness
409
00:22:42.166 --> 00:22:42.441 line:5%
for her followers.
410
00:22:42.441 --> 00:22:43.000 line:5%
for her followers.
411
00:22:49.467 --> 00:22:51.367 line:5%
[Sollis] You definitely
could look at this
and you could see
412
00:22:51.367 --> 00:22:54.200
that the situation
appears to have
413
00:22:54.266 --> 00:22:57.266
far more emotional impact
on her than on him.
414
00:23:02.066 --> 00:23:03.567 line:5%
[chuckles]
415
00:23:03.567 --> 00:23:05.767
[Allen-Emrich] He was
cool as a cucumber.
416
00:23:05.767 --> 00:23:10.867 line:5%
This man was just joking
with police, charismatic.
417
00:23:10.867 --> 00:23:12.441 line:5%
He made it seem
like Gabby's the one
who just goes over the top.
418
00:23:12.441 --> 00:23:13.000 line:5%
He made it seem
like Gabby's the one
who just goes over the top.
419
00:23:29.367 --> 00:23:31.066
I would say a lot of people
who are abusers
420
00:23:31.066 --> 00:23:34.000
are very good at,
when someone else is present,
421
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:35.900
putting on
a different appearance.
422
00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:53.166
So, domestic violence
is 100% power and control.
423
00:23:53.166 --> 00:23:54.767
Everything he did,
424
00:23:54.767 --> 00:23:58.367
he stated he did
because he had to control her.
425
00:23:58.367 --> 00:24:01.667
Once the body camera video
came out from Moab, um,
426
00:24:01.667 --> 00:24:05.166
domestic violence survivors
from all over the world
427
00:24:05.166 --> 00:24:07.066
really zeroed in on this case.
428
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.200 line:5%
When I heard her talk
about him not believing in her
429
00:24:30.266 --> 00:24:32.300 line:5%
or thinking that
she could do anything...
430
00:24:33.300 --> 00:24:36.800 line:5%
...then I knew that
she was in a bad spot.
431
00:24:51.467 --> 00:24:53.467 line:5%
Brian keeping her
out of the van,
432
00:24:53.467 --> 00:24:55.166
which was actually her van,
433
00:24:55.867 --> 00:24:57.266
so that's like if you took it
434
00:24:57.266 --> 00:24:58.700
and pretended
it was her house,
435
00:24:58.767 --> 00:25:01.266
he was keeping her
out of her house.
436
00:25:01.266 --> 00:25:03.266
So, that's an important factor
to consider.
437
00:25:03.266 --> 00:25:06.100
So he felt he had
the power and the authority
438
00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:08.367
to limit her access.
439
00:25:17.166 --> 00:25:19.667
[Williams] Maybe the most
telling thing about the video
440
00:25:19.667 --> 00:25:24.100
is that the 9-1-1 call
describes a man
slapping a woman.
441
00:25:24.100 --> 00:25:27.000 line:5%
But Gabby describes herself
as the aggressor.
442
00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:40.767 line:5%
Whether somebody's talking
to law enforcement
443
00:25:40.767 --> 00:25:42.441
or a community member,
a family member,
444
00:25:42.441 --> 00:25:43.000
or a community member,
a family member,
445
00:25:43.567 --> 00:25:45.266
about an abusive partner,
446
00:25:45.266 --> 00:25:48.700
they are most likely going
to be a little protective
of that individual.
447
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.367 line:5%
Again, it goes back
to domestic violence,
448
00:26:02.367 --> 00:26:05.266
trying to blame herself
to a certain extent,
449
00:26:05.266 --> 00:26:06.600
trying to protect him.
450
00:26:19.667 --> 00:26:22.667 line:5%
When someone is experiencing
abuse or violence
451
00:26:22.667 --> 00:26:23.800 line:5%
in their relationship,
452
00:26:23.867 --> 00:26:26.066
they will definitely
take the blame.
453
00:26:26.066 --> 00:26:27.367
They will definitely say,
454
00:26:27.367 --> 00:26:29.367
"It's my fault,
because I did this,"
455
00:26:29.367 --> 00:26:31.767
and that's partly because
it's what they hear
all the time.
456
00:26:31.767 --> 00:26:33.367
It's always your fault.
457
00:26:38.367 --> 00:26:39.767
[Carpenter] The body cam
video was...
458
00:26:40.767 --> 00:26:42.367
...a Gabby I'd never seen.
459
00:26:49.100 --> 00:26:50.367
She was petrified.
460
00:26:50.367 --> 00:26:53.000
Her voice, the way that
she was carrying herself,
461
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:54.567
that was terror.
462
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.800
I mean, it was,
that was hard to watch.
463
00:27:00.767 --> 00:27:02.567
For Brian, I felt rage.
464
00:27:02.567 --> 00:27:03.867
For Gabby, I felt...
465
00:27:04.867 --> 00:27:07.000
...the deepest amount of fear.
466
00:27:16.266 --> 00:27:19.400
Grabbing someone's face
to gain control over them,
467
00:27:19.467 --> 00:27:21.100
that's not normal.
468
00:27:21.100 --> 00:27:26.300
That's 100% indicative
of the fact that he's perhaps
strangled her in the past.
469
00:27:26.367 --> 00:27:28.266 line:5%
And that should have been
a red flag
470
00:27:28.266 --> 00:27:29.367 line:5%
for law enforcement.
471
00:27:31.567 --> 00:27:34.000
[Vick] Despite the 9-1-1 call
472
00:27:34.066 --> 00:27:36.767
saying that Brian
was the aggressor,
473
00:27:36.767 --> 00:27:38.266
the police determine
474
00:27:38.266 --> 00:27:40.166
that he's the one
who needs protection.
475
00:27:45.567 --> 00:27:49.600
So Brian went and stayed
somewhere in Moab,
476
00:27:49.667 --> 00:27:51.467
using Victim Services'
dollars...
477
00:27:53.066 --> 00:27:55.367
...and Gabby stayed
in the van.
478
00:27:55.367 --> 00:27:57.500
Some people may be
upset about that.
479
00:27:57.567 --> 00:28:00.800
The reality is, is that
the way it was determined,
480
00:28:00.867 --> 00:28:03.400
Brian, in this case,
at that time,
481
00:28:03.467 --> 00:28:04.667
was the greater victim.
482
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:06.867
[radio chatter]
483
00:28:14.900 --> 00:28:17.266 line:5%
[Williams] When you look
at Gabby's Instagram
from that day,
484
00:28:17.266 --> 00:28:19.166 line:5%
you'll see a completely
different image
485
00:28:19.166 --> 00:28:21.000 line:5%
that she's presenting
to the world
486
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:24.000 line:5%
from the very abusive one
that she's living.
487
00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:28.367 line:5%
[Allen-Emrich] It's shocking
that there are two people
on a rock, kissing,
488
00:28:29.066 --> 00:28:30.867 line:5%
and then, two hours later,
489
00:28:30.867 --> 00:28:32.800 line:5%
he's slapping her in the face.
490
00:28:36.867 --> 00:28:41.567 line:5%
[Chapman] Social media

version of our lives possible,

and we choose not to present
the other side of things,
492
00:28:42.441 --> 00:28:43.000
and we choose not to present
the other side of things,
493
00:28:45.667 --> 00:28:48.967
because they're not pretty
and they don't get likes.
494
00:28:48.967 --> 00:28:51.467
People aren't attracted
to the ugly.
495
00:28:51.467 --> 00:28:54.500
The ugly was what was going on
in their relationship,
496
00:28:54.567 --> 00:28:57.667
and unfortunately,
it led to her death.
497

[crowd shouting]
498
00:29:03.266 --> 00:29:05.200 line:5%
[man] Where is Gabby,
Laundrie?
499
00:29:05.266 --> 00:29:06.667 line:5%
Where's Gabby?

00:29:06.667 --> 00:29:09.166 line:5%
Where's Gabby?
501
00:29:09.166 --> 00:29:12.467
[Williams] No one has heard
from Gabby Petito
in two weeks.
502
00:29:12.467 --> 00:29:16.467
She was last seen on video
on August 27, 2021.
503
00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:19.467
[newscaster] The 22-year-old
Long Island native
504
00:29:19.467 --> 00:29:20.900
was on a cross-country
road trip
505
00:29:20.967 --> 00:29:23.000
with her boyfriend,
Brian Laundrie,
506
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:24.500
before she suddenly vanished.
507
00:29:27.867 --> 00:29:29.266
[Williams] On September 15th,
508
00:29:29.266 --> 00:29:31.406
Brian Laundrie is named
as a person of interest
509
00:29:31.406 --> 00:29:32.000
Brian Laundrie is named
as a person of interest
510
00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:33.667
in Gabby's disappearance.
511
00:29:33.667 --> 00:29:38.400 line:5%
And Gabby's follower count
has skyrocketed to 165,000.
512
00:29:38.467 --> 00:29:42.200 line:5%
Now, the case has
caught the attention
of the general public.
513
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:45.700
[man] Put your loving arms
around her...
514
00:29:45.767 --> 00:29:48.400
[Vick] By now,
not a lot of people
are holding out hope.
515
00:29:48.467 --> 00:29:52.000
But maybe Brian
just abandoned her
out there in Wyoming,
516
00:29:52.066 --> 00:29:53.900
and she survived so far,
517
00:29:53.967 --> 00:29:56.266
waiting for someone
to find her.

[Carr] My name is Matt Carr,
519
00:30:03.867 --> 00:30:05.667 line:5%
and I'm the Sheriff
of Teton County, Wyoming.
520
00:30:06.667 --> 00:30:09.667
There was a search going on.
521
00:30:09.667 --> 00:30:13.166
It was really honed down
to the fact that likely,
she was in our area.
522
00:30:20.667 --> 00:30:23.266 line:5%
We were getting fed
little bits and pieces
of information
523
00:30:23.266 --> 00:30:25.166 line:5%
from other agencies
across the country,
524
00:30:25.166 --> 00:30:29.300
as far as a potential lead
that had come about
525
00:30:29.367 --> 00:30:31.066
from an app called
The Dyrt app.
526
00:30:31.066 --> 00:30:31.406
You hike or you camp,
527
00:30:31.406 --> 00:30:32.000
You hike or you camp,
528
00:30:33.467 --> 00:30:36.300
and then they GPS locate you.
529
00:30:36.367 --> 00:30:39.567
We started off kinda
where Gabby's last
known location was,
530
00:30:39.567 --> 00:30:40.800
according to The Dyrt app.
531
00:30:41.867 --> 00:30:44.266 line:5%
Within Bridger-Teton
National Forest,
532
00:30:44.266 --> 00:30:47.467 line:5%
um, there's an area
called the Spread Creek
Dispersed Camping Area,
533
00:30:47.467 --> 00:30:49.467
and it was within that area
534
00:30:49.467 --> 00:30:52.100
where we had
the last known location
535
00:30:52.567 --> 00:30:53.867
of Gabby Petito.
536
00:31:00.100 --> 00:31:01.406
[Ciocarlan] My name
is Tim Ciocarlan,
537

[Ciocarlan] My name
is Tim Ciocarlan,
538
00:31:01.967 --> 00:31:02.000 line:5%
and I was, um,
incident command
for the Gabby Petito search.
539
00:31:07.667 --> 00:31:11.100
We had rain and snow
and strong winds
540
00:31:11.100 --> 00:31:12.867
throughout that whole search,
541
00:31:12.867 --> 00:31:14.166
so time was of the essence.
542
00:31:14.166 --> 00:31:19.767
We knew that
if we couldn't find
Miss Petito...
543
00:31:20.767 --> 00:31:23.500
...she might be gone
till the next spring,
544
00:31:23.567 --> 00:31:25.100
because winter was coming.
545
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.367
[Vick] The clock
is literally ticking.
546
00:31:35.266 --> 00:31:40.166 line:5%
Horse-mounted patrol
was assigned to go
to Spread Creek,
547
00:31:40.166 --> 00:31:42.266 line:5%
search the south side
of the creek.
548
00:31:44.667 --> 00:31:46.567
[Carr] Given the size
of the area,
549
00:31:46.567 --> 00:31:48.567
and the topography
in Teton County,
550
00:31:48.567 --> 00:31:50.500
it certainly was gonna be
a daunting task
551
00:31:50.567 --> 00:31:52.033
to try to locate her.
552
00:31:54.600 --> 00:31:57.767
[Roundy] We search
along the south side
of the river bed,
553
00:31:57.767 --> 00:32:00.567
across the creek,
and then start searching
the north side.
554
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:05.867
And I think it was close
to 11:30 or 12:30.
555
00:32:05.867 --> 00:32:07.300
The first thing
that caught my eye
556
00:32:07.367 --> 00:32:10.200
was that there was
a texture...
557
00:32:11.600 --> 00:32:13.700
...that was inconsistent
with a natural texture.
558
00:32:23.266 --> 00:32:24.467
When I first saw it...
559
00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:29.767
...so, I had
this feeling of...
560
00:32:30.767 --> 00:32:31.406
"Did we really
just find Gabby?
561
00:32:31.406 --> 00:32:32.000
"Did we really
just find Gabby?
562
00:32:32.367 --> 00:32:33.400
Is that really her?"
563
00:32:34.567 --> 00:32:37.467
Yeah. It was Gabby's body.
564
00:32:37.467 --> 00:32:39.066
She'd been located.
565
00:32:48.967 --> 00:32:51.100
She was laying on her side...
566
00:32:52.667 --> 00:32:53.900
...almost in a peaceful way,
567
00:32:53.967 --> 00:32:55.066
like she had just laid down,
568
00:32:55.066 --> 00:32:56.767
put her hands under her head
and fell asleep.
569
00:32:56.767 --> 00:32:59.166
But her body was positioned
in such a way
570
00:32:59.166 --> 00:33:01.400
that her head is actually
laying downhill.
571
00:33:04.166 --> 00:33:05.667
It's not a significant hill,
572
00:33:05.667 --> 00:33:07.700
but I think it's human nature
573
00:33:07.767 --> 00:33:09.900
that you're gonna lay
with your head uphill.
574
00:33:09.967 --> 00:33:12.767
You don't wanna have blood
rushing to your head.
575
00:33:12.767 --> 00:33:17.467
There was nothing natural
about how she looked.
576
00:33:17.467 --> 00:33:19.567
To me, it looked
like it was staged.
577
00:33:26.467 --> 00:33:28.967
[Williams] That Brian
killed her and staged her body
578
00:33:28.967 --> 00:33:31.406
and made it look
as if she had died
of natural causes,
579
00:33:31.406 --> 00:33:31.567
and made it look
as if she had died
of natural causes,
580
00:33:31.567 --> 00:33:32.000
all just leaving her there
for scavengers to devour,
581
00:33:34.767 --> 00:33:36.200
was absolutely heartbreaking.
582
00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:40.767
Earlier today, human remains
were discovered,
583
00:33:40.767 --> 00:33:42.500
consistent with
the description
584
00:33:42.567 --> 00:33:44.600
of Gabrielle "Gabby" Petito.
585
00:33:47.767 --> 00:33:49.066
It was gut-wrenching.
586
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:52.767 line:5%
[voice shaking]
It was sickening.
587
00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:59.066
It was unfair.
588
00:34:02.667 --> 00:34:04.367
It was heartbreaking.
589

of 22-year-old Gabby Petito.
591

When the cause of death
was revealed by the coroner,
592
00:34:17.867 --> 00:34:20.600 line:5%
it was
a devastating revelation.
593
00:34:20.667 --> 00:34:24.467 line:5%
The manner of death
of Gabrielle Venora Petito,
594
00:34:24.467 --> 00:34:26.600 line:5%
cause, death by strangulation,
595
00:34:26.667 --> 00:34:28.967 line:5%
and manner, uh, is homicide.
596
00:34:29.567 --> 00:34:30.867
[woman] Tell the truth!
597
00:34:30.867 --> 00:34:31.406

Tell the truth!

00:34:36.166 --> 00:34:38.367
We wanna bring closure
to the Petito family.
601
00:34:38.367 --> 00:34:40.567
You need to come out
and tell us!
602
00:34:40.567 --> 00:34:42.300
[all] Tell the truth!
603
00:34:42.367 --> 00:34:44.800
[Entin] We were
basically camped out
on the neighbor's yard.
604
00:34:44.867 --> 00:34:47.400
It was our assumption
that Brian Laundrie
was in the house.
605
00:34:47.467 --> 00:34:50.367 line:5%
So we were there,
thinking this guy could
walk out at any moment.
606
00:34:50.367 --> 00:34:52.667 line:5%
And then, all of the sudden,
607
00:34:52.667 --> 00:34:54.467
we get word from the police
608
00:34:54.467 --> 00:34:57.100
that Brian Laundrie
is missing.
609
00:34:57.166 --> 00:34:59.667
-[man] Arrest Brian!
Arrest Brian!
-[woman] Get him!
610
00:34:59.667 --> 00:35:01.406
The story took on
a whole new life of its own.
611
00:35:01.406 --> 00:35:02.000
The story took on
a whole new life of its own.
612
00:35:02.767 --> 00:35:05.100
I mean, people were
just obsessed.
613
00:35:06.700 --> 00:35:10.000
You had the whole country
looking for Brian Laundrie.
614
00:35:16.667 --> 00:35:19.100
[newscaster] Police continue
the search for Brian Laundrie
615
00:35:19.166 --> 00:35:21.367
in Florida's rugged
Carlton Reserve.
616
00:35:22.867 --> 00:35:24.066
[Vick] On September 1st,
617
00:35:24.066 --> 00:35:26.000
Brian Laundrie returned home
to Florida
618
00:35:26.066 --> 00:35:27.500
in Gabby Petito's van,
619
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.867
without Gabby.
620
00:35:29.867 --> 00:35:32.300
According to his parents,
two weeks later,
621
00:35:32.367 --> 00:35:34.367
he leaves his parents' house
to go for a hike
622
00:35:34.367 --> 00:35:36.467
at the nearby Carlton Reserve,
623
00:35:36.467 --> 00:35:40.200
a huge swampland that's
teeming with alligators,
624
00:35:40.266 --> 00:35:41.367
venomous snakes,
625
00:35:41.367 --> 00:35:43.500
and wild pigs.
626
00:35:43.567 --> 00:35:43.611
But that's the last
anyone sees of him.
627
00:35:43.611 --> 00:35:44.000
But that's the last
anyone sees of him.
628
00:35:46.667 --> 00:35:48.700
[Entin] Brian was on the run.
629
00:35:48.767 --> 00:35:50.767 line:5%
And they were doing
this massive grid search,
630
00:35:50.767 --> 00:35:54.100 line:5%
helicopters, search dogs,
you name it...
631
00:35:55.767 --> 00:35:58.100
...and they weren't
finding anything.
632
00:35:58.100 --> 00:35:59.900
[newscaster] It's been
more than three weeks,
633
00:35:59.967 --> 00:36:02.767
and still no sign
of Brian Laundrie.
634
00:36:05.700 --> 00:36:07.166
[Vick] By late September,
635
00:36:07.166 --> 00:36:10.200
Gabby's Instagram
follower count had
pushed past 1 million,
636
00:36:10.266 --> 00:36:13.400
and once again, just like
with Gabby's disappearance,
637
00:36:13.467 --> 00:36:13.611
social media goes wild
with crazy theories
638
00:36:13.611 --> 00:36:14.000
social media goes wild
with crazy theories
639
00:36:16.367 --> 00:36:17.867
about where Brian is.
640
00:36:19.467 --> 00:36:22.867 line:5%
I don't personally
think that Brian is
in the Carlton Reserve.
641
00:36:22.867 --> 00:36:27.500 line:5%
Last night, a man said that
he found a noose on a tree.
642
00:36:27.567 --> 00:36:29.300
[Entin] People in Oregon
and California,
643
00:36:29.367 --> 00:36:31.400
all the way
to the Appalachian Trail,
644
00:36:31.467 --> 00:36:33.567
claiming, "I've seen
Brian Laundrie.
645
00:36:33.567 --> 00:36:34.700
I've got photos."
646
00:36:34.700 --> 00:36:37.066
There was a guy who said,
"I have him on my deer cam."
647
00:36:37.066 --> 00:36:39.567
"My lead is Brian Laundrie's
father's friend.
648
00:36:39.567 --> 00:36:41.767
I'm convinced
he's hiding in Mexico
649
00:36:41.767 --> 00:36:43.611
where he can't be extradited
to the United States."
650
00:36:43.611 --> 00:36:44.000
where he can't be extradited
to the United States."
651
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:47.166
Theories from Brian
being a fed
652
00:36:47.166 --> 00:36:48.400
to him having a clone...
653
00:36:48.467 --> 00:36:50.467 line:5%
People were saying
he was buried underground
654
00:36:50.467 --> 00:36:51.500 line:5%
in his parents' backyard,
655
00:36:51.567 --> 00:36:53.567 line:5%
being fed through a straw.
656
00:36:53.567 --> 00:36:55.400 line:5%
[Williams] I mean,
it was all completely crazy.
657
00:36:55.467 --> 00:36:57.100 line:5%
And then, out of nowhere,
658
00:36:57.166 --> 00:36:59.567 line:5%
Brian's parents finally decide
to speak up.
659
00:37:03.467 --> 00:37:05.867 line:5%
[Entin] Police were searching
the Carlton Reserve
660
00:37:05.867 --> 00:37:09.100
for Brian Laundrie
for almost a month...
661
00:37:09.166 --> 00:37:13.266
...because that is where
his parents said
that he last was.
662
00:37:13.266 --> 00:37:13.611
And what was so strange
is Brian Laundrie's parents
663
00:37:13.611 --> 00:37:14.000
And what was so strange
is Brian Laundrie's parents
664
00:37:17.066 --> 00:37:19.567
went out one morning
to look for Brian,
665
00:37:19.567 --> 00:37:21.867
and literally,
just within minutes,
666
00:37:21.867 --> 00:37:25.000
they find items belonging
to Brian Laundrie.
667
00:37:28.200 --> 00:37:29.700
[Williams] The parents contact
the police
668
00:37:29.767 --> 00:37:31.967
and tell them
what area to focus on.
669
00:37:31.967 --> 00:37:34.266
And after searching
everywhere else for weeks,
670
00:37:34.266 --> 00:37:37.166
they almost immediately
find skeletal remains.
671
00:37:38.567 --> 00:37:40.567
[newscaster]
Through a comparison
of dental records,
672
00:37:40.567 --> 00:37:43.611
the FBI was able to confirm
that the remains found
673
00:37:43.611 --> 00:37:43.800
the FBI was able to confirm
that the remains found
674
00:37:43.867 --> 00:37:44.000
were that of Brian Laundrie.
675
00:37:48.367 --> 00:37:51.367
A backpack and a notebook
believed to have belonged
to Laundrie
676
00:37:51.367 --> 00:37:53.100
was also found in the park.
677
00:37:53.100 --> 00:37:55.266
[Entin] Everyone was waiting
for this notebook
678
00:37:55.266 --> 00:37:57.266
that Brian Laundrie
had left behind,
679
00:37:58.166 --> 00:38:00.300
and it was shocking
when we read it.
680
00:38:01.300 --> 00:38:03.467
Brian makes up
a ridiculous story
681
00:38:03.467 --> 00:38:05.467
that he had to kill Gabby
682
00:38:05.467 --> 00:38:09.400
to put her out of her misery
from an injury.
683
00:38:09.467 --> 00:38:12.367
[Entin] He wrote,
"When I pulled Gabby
out of the water,
684
00:38:12.367 --> 00:38:13.611
she couldn't tell me
what hurt.
685
00:38:13.611 --> 00:38:14.000
she couldn't tell me
what hurt.
686
00:38:14.100 --> 00:38:16.166
She had a small bump
on her forehead
687
00:38:16.166 --> 00:38:17.800
that eventually got larger.
688
00:38:17.867 --> 00:38:20.066
Her feet hurt, her wrist hurt,
689
00:38:20.066 --> 00:38:23.100
but she was freezing,
shaking violently.
690
00:38:23.166 --> 00:38:27.100
While carrying her,
she continually made
sounds of pain,
691
00:38:27.100 --> 00:38:29.300
begging for an end
to her pain.
692
00:38:29.867 --> 00:38:31.166
I ended her life.
693
00:38:32.100 --> 00:38:33.767
I thought it was merciful,
694
00:38:33.767 --> 00:38:35.400
that it is what she wanted,
695
00:38:35.467 --> 00:38:38.000
but I see now
all the mistakes I made.
696
00:38:38.967 --> 00:38:41.467
Please pick up
all of my things.
697
00:38:41.467 --> 00:38:43.611
Gabby hated
people who litter."
698
00:38:43.611 --> 00:38:44.000
Gabby hated
people who litter."
699
00:38:46.166 --> 00:38:49.700
I mean, she died
of blunt force trauma
and strangulation.
700
00:38:49.767 --> 00:38:53.367
One second, you're talking
about how you committed
this mercy killing,
701
00:38:53.367 --> 00:38:55.867
and then you're telling people
not to litter at the end?
702
00:38:55.867 --> 00:38:58.066
Uh, just very strange
and bizarre.
703
00:39:00.066 --> 00:39:02.000
[Williams] I think most folks
have a pretty good idea
704
00:39:02.066 --> 00:39:04.967
about what happened
in Grand Teton National Park.
705
00:39:06.667 --> 00:39:09.166
[Allen-Emrich] I believe
she says, "I'm done."
706
00:39:10.266 --> 00:39:12.066 line:5%
And once he heard that,
707
00:39:12.066 --> 00:39:13.611 line:5%
he was enraged.
708
00:39:13.611 --> 00:39:13.867 line:5%
he was enraged.
709
00:39:13.867 --> 00:39:14.000 line:5%
He was angry,
710
00:39:15.066 --> 00:39:19.767
angry enough to throttle her
and kill her.
711
00:39:24.667 --> 00:39:26.667
[Vick] Some believe
that he staged her body
712
00:39:26.667 --> 00:39:28.700
to make it seem like
she died of natural causes
713
00:39:28.767 --> 00:39:30.000
in her sleep,
714
00:39:30.066 --> 00:39:32.200
and then ran home
to his mom and dad.
715
00:39:34.567 --> 00:39:37.200
After he did this,
he gets in her van
716
00:39:37.266 --> 00:39:39.467
and he drove right back
to North Port, Florida,
717
00:39:39.467 --> 00:39:41.767
pulled that van
into his parents' driveway,
718
00:39:41.767 --> 00:39:43.611
uh, and didn't talk
to anybody.
719
00:39:43.611 --> 00:39:43.867
uh, and didn't talk
to anybody.
720
00:39:43.867 --> 00:39:44.000
And what happened
behind the scenes,
721
00:39:45.667 --> 00:39:46.967
we still don't really know.
722
00:39:46.967 --> 00:39:48.066
That's one
of the big mysteries.
723
00:39:53.700 --> 00:39:56.767
[Vick] There's a kind of
tragic irony here.
724
00:39:56.767 --> 00:40:00.800 line:5%
Gabby Petito finally got
the kind of international fame
725
00:40:00.867 --> 00:40:05.000 line:5%
that most social media
influencers would
only dream of.
726
00:40:05.066 --> 00:40:06.667
Over a million followers,
727
00:40:06.667 --> 00:40:09.600
and a hashtag that was shared
a billion times.
728
00:40:09.667 --> 00:40:13.000
But it came
at the cost of her life.
729
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:13.611
[Entin] It's really sad
that this was her dream
to grow this following...
730
00:40:13.611 --> 00:40:14.000
[Entin] It's really sad
that this was her dream
to grow this following...
731
00:40:18.100 --> 00:40:20.100
...and if only
she was alive now
732
00:40:20.100 --> 00:40:22.467
to see how many
followers she had.
733
00:40:23.867 --> 00:40:25.467
[Vick] Gabby's
social media pages
734
00:40:25.467 --> 00:40:27.767
allowed anyone to see
what she posted
735
00:40:27.767 --> 00:40:30.000
in the final days
before she went missing.
736
00:40:36.066 --> 00:40:38.000 line:5%
[Williams] The question
everybody wants to know...
737
00:40:38.066 --> 00:40:40.567 line:5%
What did the Laundries know?
738
00:40:40.567 --> 00:40:42.667
Did they know
their son's intention?
739
00:40:42.667 --> 00:40:43.611
Did they know that he was dead
the whole time?
740
00:40:43.611 --> 00:40:44.000
Did they know that he was dead
the whole time?
741
00:40:45.467 --> 00:40:48.567 line:5%
This new civil lawsuit,
uh, has now been filed
742
00:40:48.567 --> 00:40:50.700 line:5%
by Gabby Petito's family,
743
00:40:50.767 --> 00:40:54.000 line:5%
uh, against
Brian Laundrie's family.
744
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.367
[Entin] The Petitos claim
that at that time,
745
00:40:56.367 --> 00:40:59.767
uh, the Laundries knew
that Petito was dead,
746
00:40:59.767 --> 00:41:02.467
that obviously, the search
was gonna be unsuccessful,
747
00:41:02.467 --> 00:41:04.200
and that they weren't
telling anyone,
748
00:41:04.266 --> 00:41:06.400
and that that caused
pain and suffering,
749
00:41:06.467 --> 00:41:07.800
uh, to the Petito family.
750
00:41:09.567 --> 00:41:12.200
[Vick] The Laundrie family
denies any wrongdoing.
751
00:41:13.500 --> 00:41:13.611
[Williams] Whatever happens
in that case,
752
00:41:13.611 --> 00:41:14.000
[Williams] Whatever happens
in that case,
753
00:41:15.567 --> 00:41:17.700
it's gonna bring more
attention to domestic violence
754
00:41:17.767 --> 00:41:20.200
and the warning signs
to watch out for,
755
00:41:20.266 --> 00:41:21.667
and that will be a good thing.
756
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:29.567
[Sollis] If you have concerns
that somebody is being abused,
757
00:41:29.567 --> 00:41:32.500
if you can reach out to them
in a safe way, do so.
758
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:38.900
They may not, right away, want
to leave the relationship.
759
00:41:38.967 --> 00:41:42.166 line:5%
They may not even admit to you
that there are problems.
760
00:41:42.166 --> 00:41:43.611 line:5%
But be ready
to be there for them
761
00:41:43.611 --> 00:41:44.000 line:5%
But be ready
to be there for them
762
00:41:45.066 --> 00:41:46.567 line:5%
when they're ready
to reach out.
763
00:41:52.600 --> 00:41:53.867 line:5%
[Vick] Hoping to help others,
764
00:41:53.867 --> 00:41:57.000 line:5%
the Petito family starts
the Gabby Petito Foundation,
765
00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:58.400 line:5%
whose mission is
to provide aid
766
00:41:58.467 --> 00:42:00.700 line:5%
to organizations that search
for missing persons
767
00:42:00.767 --> 00:42:03.000 line:5%
and to assist victims
of domestic violence.
