Gabby Petito and her fiance, Brian Laundrie, embarked on a cross country road trip that started on July 2, 2021. On August 12, while in Utah, the couple engaged in a heated argument where Laundrie hit Petito in the face, which one eye witness reported to police. Another claimed that Petito punched Laundrie in the arm several times. When police arrived, Gabby was clearly upset, wiping tears from her face the entire time the police were there. After questioning the two, police separated them for them for the night. The last time Gabby was seen alive was on August 27 in Wyoming outside of a restaurant. In the following days, witnesses reported a "young white male" who was acting suspicious at the camp ground both Gabby and Brian were staying at. On September 1, Laundrie returned to his parents' home in Florida...... alone.
