reliving these horrific days is hard. >> we share it to help others. we do it because the more we do it, the more people send us emails and "it's gabby's story that touched us. thank you for doing what you're doing." >> gabby gave us a platform. we could go cry all day. what is that gonna do? so, we're gonna use it to try to help others as much as possible. >> gabby petito was raised with so much love. her mom nichole and dad joe split up when she was just a baby. and they both remarried. their spouses, tara and jim, become part of the parental unit. all raising her together. >> it was always about her first and we'll figure out the rest. >> we worked together as a team. and now we're even closer than ever. >> if there wasn't four of us, i don't think we would be where we are today. we all have different strengths. we all have weak moments. >> if i'm down, jim'll call me

up, tara to sit by my side, nicki. you know, she'll call us up. and you know, we pick each other up. >> let's talk about gabby. what was she like as a little girl? >> she was easy in terms of just going with the flow. and she was always up for whatever we were gonna do. so, in that respect it was easy. sometimes she'd get in trouble. it happened, you know, she was a kid after all. >> i still remember the first time i saw her. i could tell you exactly what she was wearing. she had these pigtails. and she comes, like, bouncing out. and it was the brightest blue eyes, the biggest smile you've ever seen. and that was the way she was ever since she was little all the way on up. larger than life. she was just always happy and just -- >> physically tiny. >> she was an amazing artist. we had a large kitchen island. and she would spread her artwork all over the island and just make masterpieces. >> gabby was the oldest of six, a loving older sister to her siblings from both sets of parents. >> she was a great big sister. >> yeah, she was. one of six. >> that's a lot of siblings. >> lot of siblings.

>> gabby and her family live in blue point, on long island, just outside of new york city. by high school, gabby has a big circle of friends. one of them is a boy named brian laundrie. do you remember the moment she first started talking about brian? >> they had known each other in high school as friends. >> he was a year older. so he had graduated and gone on, and then gabby continued through. and it wasn't until after she graduated that they reconnected. and that's when we started to hear more. more about brian and kind of came to the realization that they were going to be more than just friends. >> yeah. >> that's a weird feeling, i'm sure, for dads. >> well. i never liked anyone that wanted to date my daughter. 'cause, like, no one was really good enough for her. in my opinion. >> do you like him? what do you think of him? which you realize they were romantically involved? >> i liked brian. i thought he was interesting. he's -- he was very soft spoken.

he would sit and do art with gabby's younger sisters. he got along with tj, her brother, and he just seemed like a nice person. >> i mean, respectful. always came in, shook your hand. was nice. just quiet. >> yeah, quiet. >> quiet person. >> after high school, gabby and brian start dating. when things get more serious they eventually make the decision to move to florida to be closer to brian's family. they move in with brian's parents. when she mentioned she wanted to move to florida, what did you guys think of that? >> she wanted -- she was over 18. you can't stop them from doing something like that, right? >> i said to her, "do it if you think you feel like you want to, but you can always come home." at that point she was almost 20. so, i couldn't tell her no. but she was looking for my advice. i think she asked all of us. >> i wasn't against her going. i just was, like, "make sure you take care of you.

you are number one, you are the most important, don't rely on somebody else, make sure you just take care of you." >> yeah, we wanted her to be independent. you know, "make sure you get yourself a job, that you can pay for things." >> and i'm curious kind of what your relationship with brian was like at this point? >> when they were in new york still, i would see him and talk to him quite often. but once they got down to florida, that relationship was very limited. it was -- i was talking to gabby almost every day, but not brian. >> same for us. >> but soon gabby and brian take a big step in their relationship. >> i thought it was weird that she didn't want to tell us right away. >> we found out on facebook. some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. duke versus unc. what a storied rivalry? like you know to check your outfit first before meeting your girlfriend's family. that's a tough one to recover from steve. the disappointment on their faces says it all. uh-uh. yeah, checking first is smart.

>> gabby and brian are now living in north port, florida, with brian's parents. did she say anything about that relationship? >> there were a few incidents. >> yeah. >> never anything with brian. it was always, like, she always felt weird around the parents. i thought about that a lot. i was, like, "i wonder what's going on with the parents," like, "what's the relationship like?" but she would always assure me that it was fine. >> gabby makes a new friend in florida, who shares her first impression of brian in the netflix docuseries. >> we were all going to the beach together, and he kind of just sat back there and read his book while gabby and i hung out. it felt like a parent was watching us on a playdate. it was very weird. but he was very nice. i do remember coming home and saying to my mom -- she was

like, "how was it? how was her boyfriend?" and i was like, "he's a really nice guy, but there is something off about him." >> but, in july 2020 , after dating a little over a year, gabby and brian go on a camping trip and get engaged. >> brian asked me to marry him, and i said yes! you make life feel unreal, and every day is such a dream with you. >> her parents say they found out when someone congratulated the couple on facebook. >> i'm an old-school person, and as an old-school person the one thing you do is you go up to the father of the person you want to marry and you ask him for their hand in marriage, or parent, ask them for their hand in marriage. that didn't happen. we found out on facebook. all of us, we did. >> were you surprised? >> i thought it was weird, now looking back, i thought it was weird that she didn't want to tell us right away. like, that's something you get excited about. >> she wasn't. >> yeah, maybe she wasn't -- >> she -- she was but she wasn't. >> she was excited about the planning. i feel like she was like, "yeah,

yeah, yeah, i can plan this wedding and pick out dresses." we -- she started a pinterest page. >> she -- she wanted to do a beach wedding and all the stuff. and then covid happened and it -- it kinda stalled, all of those plans. but we're like, "listen, we're not -- can't travel. your -- your grandparents aren't gonna travel." and so she kinda, like, put it on -- on the back shelf for a while there. >> while the wedding planning seems to be on hold, gabby and brian make other big plans -- they're going on an adventure, road-tripping across the country. they get a small van that they were outfitting for the trip. >> i love the van. >> the van looked amazing. everything looked pretty. >> that van was her pride and joy. like, she was really, really proud of that van. and we saw it. it was -- it was done really, really well. >> gabby and brian weren't the only ones inspired to take off in a van during the pandemic. at the time, "van life" -- as it's called online -- was exploding. >> van life is exactly what it sounds. it's living in, often, a

restored van or school bus, and having this kind of nomadic lifestyle where you can travel all around the country. it was growing in popularity, largely through instagram and youtube. >> as parents, like, as she's about to set out on this van life adventure, are you going, like, "how are you going to feed yourself? how are you going to wash?" are you thinking about all those details? >> no, yes. 100%. 'cause it was crazy. because we would go camping. we had a small little travel trailer. and when she was younger she hated it. there was bugs, it was -- there was sand, there was dirt, and she wasn't really big into it. and as she started getting into that type of stuff i'm, like, is this the same person? and so when she showed us the setup, you know, "we have this cooler that, you know, it -- it plugs in. it's 12 volt, you can turn it into a freezer. here's our portable sink inside. this is how the sink works. here's a portable shower that catches rainwater." and i'm like, you're -- you're doing all this? >> and the solar power, yeah. >> solar power to heat it and

all this crazy stuff. and so kind of thought of everything. >> and said that, you know, they had plenty of money saved up for it. she had been working up until right before they left. >> i mean, we kept sending her money too, though. let's just be real in this situation. >> i mean, i was not. >> i didn't send her any money. >> joe. >> joe might have sent her money. >> i -- i would apple pay her money. and then you would see, like, "what's this apple charge?" and i'd be, like, "oh, i guess i got hacked. i'll order a new bank card." so like, i think it was, like, four times in a year i had to get a new bank card just -- just to play it off, you know. >> before heading out on the cross-country trip, they come back to new york to go to her brother t.j.'s high school graduation. >> she took him camping as a graduation gift, and a birthday/graduation gift 'cause it was also his birthday. but her, brian, and tj went on a camping trip. i think it was in pennsylvania. >> pennsylvania. >> then they came back, and not too long after that they left. >> yeah. >> beginning of july. >> and when they set out on that adventure, what did you say to her before she left? do you remember?

>> i was absolutely the luckiest one. i got to give her a hug goodbye. and it was the most amazing, squeezy hug. and she was crying. and i said, "why are you crying?" and she was, like, "i don't know." and -- and i just was, like, maybe she's just so excited. and then i looked at brian and i said, "you better take good care of her, keep her safe." and he was, like, "i will." you know, with just his very soft spoken, "i will." and i -- i cherish that moment. that's-- that was the last time i had her in my arms. >> did you trust that they would be okay together? >> i did. i did. i didn't want to worry. i knew she'd be okay. and, i mean, as a mom i was worried a little bit. i said, "you're gonna be out on the road, the two of you alone, just be careful. be safe. don't talk to strangers," all

that stuff. >> gabby and brian set off on their adventure with big dreams. she wants to be a vlogger and begins to document her trip on social media. >> so, we are right outside capitol reef right now. >> you can't keep chocolate in utah. not in july. >> the way to live a sustainable life as a -- as a van lifer is to have millions of followers online. that's how you make money. gabby definitely wanted to be part of this community. she and brian were posting it on instagram, on youtube, and they were documenting this journey for people on the internet to essentially engage with. >> was that, like, what she wanted to do for her career? was this sort of like her dream? >> she was living in the moment, i would say. >> yeah, i think i -- it's something she wanted to do. i think she was looking it more as a hobby at the moment and see where it can go from there. >> and she always had that creative eye. i mean, she always enjoyed taking the -- the photos, and

the pictures, and we would go on vacation and she would -- she had her gopro. and she would take videos of us doing things. so i think that's something that she always really enjoyed to do. so why not try to make it as a career? >> she had asked if she -- we could get her a drone. so her grandpa stan and i kinda split that. we bought her the drone. and that made that video like, so much better. and she -- she was, like, a natural at that stuff. >> i am stretching, doing some morning yoga. >> well, i look at gabby's instagram, i see her building her brand. she followed a lot of people who also were doing the van life thing too, so it looks like she was following the formula for how to get successful there. >> living in a van is a struggle. it is not the beautiful, picturesque of life that a lot of internet creators paint it out to be. >> and gabby and brian were in a smaller van than i usually see people in. i imagine that's a lot of pressure.

any relationship has fights. but now you're in this tiny van. there's no place else to go. i don't know what you're supposed to do when you're in that kind of an environment. >> life on the road is difficult. you have to pivot a lot. it changes in a millisecond and you have to be ready for that. >> i'd like to report a domestic dispute. >> hey, we got a call about a male hitting a female, and the two of them getting in this vehicle and taking off. >> when did you see the video of her? >> let's go ahead and get you to step out of the vehicle. believe it or not baby... at university of phoenix... you... you... you... you could earn your... master's...

[skateboard sounds] gabby and brian are on the road. the photos flooding gabby's social media accounts paint a picture of a couple blissfully in love. but in reality, it seems van life isn't all it's cracked up to be. >> behind the scenes, gabby and brian would get into arguments. >> they were struggling. they were not the cream of the crop van life creators. they were not going viral. you know, they were really living hand to mouth. and so there was a lot of

deposition, you could tell, around that, it seemed. >> i was texting her a lot more, like, things like, "are you and brian okay?" 'cause i was worried about that dynamic. being stuck in the van together 24 hours a day. >> you know what is my absolute favorite part about the van? the fact that we have this nice, big, open floor for you to keep your dirty feet. >> aahh. >> in those videos, where he rolls his eyes, i had never noticed that before. seeing that really hit me. i was like, "wow, that's who he really is, showed his true colors." >> but life in the van is about some far more serious problems. to go from minor annoyances to some far more serious problems. >> they've been on this trip over a month and then on august 12th, there is a phone call placed to 9-1-1. >> a witness calls 9-1-1 to report a man with a beard slapping a young woman near a local grocery store.

>> hi, can you hear me, sir? >> yeah, i can hear you. >> hi, i'm calling, i'm right on the corner of main street by moonflower, and we're driving by, and i'd like to report a domestic dispute, florida, with a white van. >> essentially, when police respond to domestic violence calls, it is typically messy, where you might have a witness who sees a piece of it. >> what were they doing? >> we drove by, and the gentleman was slapping the girl. >> he was slapping her? >> yes, and then we stopped. they ran up and down the sidewalk. he proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car, and they drove off. >> within minutes, one of the responding officers spots gabby's white van with its distinctive black ladder. >> driver is showing some obscure driving, possibly intoxicated. currently doing 45 miles an hour, zone through here is 25. oh. subject's just hit the curb. >> body cameras worn by the moab police capture a traffic stop that will eventually go viral,

but only after she went missing. >> developing tonight in utah, a new glimpse of 22-year-old gabby petito and her boyfriend, brian laundrie. now there's body cam video that shows the moments after police were called. >> that video is out. here it is. >> what's your guys' names? >> gabby. >> i'm brian. >> gabby, brian, okay. what's going on? how come you're crying? >> i'm just crying because we've just been fighting this morning. some personal issues. >> it was a long day. we, we were camping yesterday and camping got, just got, flies and stuff. i'm sorry. i'm sorry i hit the, the bump, there. >> i was distracting him from driving. i'm sorry. >> can i get you to step out of the vehicle for me, ma'am? >> yeah. >> the august 12th incident when thy got pulled over, that day was a pivotal moment in that relationship. >> we didn't have all the facts. we had no idea how it really played out. >> gabby's family was stunned to

see these images of her. they were released without any warning. >> i was in wyoming, out there looking for her. and there was a news reporter who had said, "hey, just an fyi. there's some camera footage coming out of moab from when they were there." and so i remember texting back home, not knowing fully what it was. >> when did you see the video of her? >> when everybody else did. we were glued to the television, watching it. >> i haven't. >> you haven't watched it? >> i won't watch it. i read the transcript. i won't watch it. >> do you want to tell me what's going on? >> yeah, i don't know. it's just, some days, i have really bad ocd, and -- >> okay. >> i was -- i was just cleaning and straightening up the back of the van before i was apologizing to him and saying, "i'm sorry that i'm so mean." because sometimes i have ocd and sometimes i can get really frustrated. not like mean towards him.

i just like, i guess, my vibe is like, i -- i am gonna be like in a bad mood. >> why wouldn't he let you in the car? because of you -- because of your ocd? >> he told me i needed to calm down, yeah. but i'm perfectly calm. i'm calm all the time, and -- he really stresses me out and i just -- and this is a rough morning. >> when questioned by officers at the scene, brian downplays the incident and chalks it up to a disagreement. >> so, tell me what's going on. >> it, well, she just gets worked up sometimes and i try and really distance myself from her, so, like, i -- i locked the car, and i walked away from her. i think that our little squabble started because we were, we were hanging out at the coffee shop, and when i got back to the van, there was some dirt and stuff in the van, and i moved our food around. i wouldn't even call it a disagreement, but yet there's a few little, little things. little, just little, in a relationship. i -- don't know if you have a relationship, but i'm sure you know. >> i've been married for over five years now, so -- >> there's a lot of little things.

>> the interesting dynamic is that brian laundrie is really calm, and there's such a discrepancy that it's almost an intentional way to discredit her experience. >> i'm sorry if i'm in a bad mood. i'm just really stressed. i had so much work i was doing on my computer this morning. so, i've been building my website. so, i've just been really stressed and he doesn't really believe that i could do any of it, so that's kind of been, like, a, i don't know, he's, like, a, a downer. i don't know. we've just been fighting all morning. >> for about an hour, police question brian and gabby in an attempt to figure out what was really going on. remember, the 9-1-1 caller reported seeing a man with beard slapping a woman. >> so, there's two people that came to us and told us that they saw him hit you. >> well, to be honest, i definitely hit him first. >> where'd you hit him? >> i slapped him. >> you, you slapped him first? >> he kept telling me to shut up.

>> how many times did you slap him? >> a couple. he got really frustrated with me and he locked me out of the car and told me to go take a breather. but i didn't want to take a breather. >> when questioning brian, police notice minor injuries on his face. >> okay. you want to tell me about those scratches on your face? >> she had her cell phone in her hand. that's why i was pushing her away. i said, "let's just take a breather and let's not, you know, go anywhere. let's just calm down for a minute." >> gabby admits she hit brian first. police now have a critical decision to make. >> gabby. this is a very, very important question. how you answer this question is going to determine what happens next.

visibly anxious and upset. >> according to both gabby petito and brian laundrie, it was gabby and not brian who was the initial aggressor. >> i just -- i don't want to try and defend myself by saying anything here, but i pushed her away, she gets really worked up. >> there are relationships in which women are aggressively violent toward men. but in the vast majority of domestic violence situations, the men are the aggressors. and the women, in public, when questioned about it, especially by law enforcement, will often take responsibility for it out of fear that the aggressor, the man in their relationship, will be more angry if they don't. >> tell me what happened, will you, if you don't mind? >> as police continue to question brian, he describes how he says gabby hit him. >> so, you pushed her and she hit you? >> she was -- i wasn't -- i was it -- wasn't like a push, and

she jumped on me. she was -- she was already -- she was already -- i don't wanna -- >> swinging at you? >> swinging and i was pushing. >> yeah. you've got three scratches on your neck, you've got one on your left side of your nose. you've got one on your face, here. >> while brian is speaking to police, an anxious gabby is in the backseat of that police car. >> again, i believe that was the pivotal moment. i think that was the moment when she even realized, "i need to get the hell out of this. how can i do it on my own?" she didn't wanna -- she didn't want to ask us for help. >> but she -- she asked for her mom, like, in that -- you see that in the video. >> there's a spot in the documentary. and she says, "can i have my phone so i can call my mom?" and i didn't get that phone call. 'cause maybe at that moment, maybe she would've told me what was going on. >> while gabby did not speak to

nichole during the stop, she did speak to her dad, joe. >> she called me during the traffic stop. >> what did she say? >> it was her fault. and that was -- i mean, you told her, "it's fine. i'm gonna -- i'm gonna be on the next plane to come get you." and she's like, "no, no, no. it's -- it's -- it's -- it's my fault." we didn't have the information that -- >> we didn't have all the other information. >> -- that she was being slapped and all this other stuff prior. we didn't have any of that information. >> we didn't have any of that. >> she never told me about their fight in moab, but i've seen her that upset before because of him. >> now, police on the scene have a decision to make. >> brian, unfortunately, in the state of utah, the state legislature doesn't give us discretion on its charges when it comes to a domestic assault. and your own companion has made it clear that she was the primary aggressor and that she was striking you and you received injuries. so, at this, point, you're the victim of a domestic assault and if, even if you -- even if you didn't want to pursue this, you don't have a choice.

now, the problem with the -- her being the primary aggressor is in an instance of domestic assault, be it a male or be it a female, we shall arrest. >> she appeared to be the aggressor, and she said she was the aggressor. now, do i believe that? no. but the police can only go on the evidence they are given. >> after discussing the situation, one of the officers goes over to speak with gabby. >> so when you watch this video, what i saw was a bunch of police officers trying to sort this out, and they appeared to be compassionate towards both parties. >> so, look, i'm gonna speak to you frankly. i have a daughter almost your age. and i'm looking at you not so much like a suspect, but also as kind of a victim, in the sense that the stuff you did today that -- that contributed to this, because you both contributed to this, is that as a result of your inability to cope with the anxiety and the

stress that you're having. normally, we take people to so can just have the van. >> i don't -- but i don't want to be separated. >> are you gonna have anxiety? >> yeah, yeah. no, we're a team, please. please. no, like, we're a team, please. i'm gonna -- it's gonna give me so much anxiety. could we just have, like, a -- a driving ticket? >> the very best thing i can do is call my supervisor and see if i'm missing something here. >> gabby admitted punching him first. the technical requirement under utah law is that this be done with an intent to cause some sort of harm or inflict pain. so as they examine the evidence in the case, they ask that specific question when she's in the back of the police car. >> gabby. this is a very, very important question. how you answer this question is going to determine what happens next. when you slapped him those times, were you attempting to cause him physical pain or

physical impairments? was that what you were attempting to do to him? >> no. i was trying to get him to stop telling me to calm down. >> doesn't sound to me like she attempted to injure him. >> those officers were heading down the path of making an arrest, and they changed direction. >> remember, while gabby was unable to contact her mom, nichole, she did speak to her dad during the traffic stop. >> she talked to the officer and says, "he's gonna let me go. it's -- you know, it's -- it's fine. it -- it was just a big misunderstanding," and that was that. and, again, i didn't have the video, and i didn't talk to the police or anything. and i had to take her word for it. and i'm like, "all right. you know, listen, i understand misunderstandings happen, you know? especially when you're -- you're in -- in a small confined space. i -- i get it, how a disagreement can -- can come about." >> alrighty, gabrielle. you want to step out for me? >> police decide not to arrest gabby. instead, they separate the

couple for the night. >> gabby gets to leave in the van while brian, seen by the police as a domestic violence victim, is taken to a hotel for the night. >> i'm giving him a ride over to the hotel. okay? so everything will be okay. >> will it be a far drive for me to get him in the morning? i'm -- i'm just curious. >> i'm not gonna tell you where he's going to be at tonight. >> i -- i know. >> like i said, i -- i want you guys to be separated. >> if i had had that opportunity at that moment to speak to her, i think -- because she was in the back of the police car she would have said more to me than after thinking about it too long, later on calling me and telling me it was just a bad day. "i just had a rough day. i was stressed out. brian and i are fine." now, that video is the truth. we have the truth. >> brian and gabby were told to stay away from each other for 24 hours. >> too many times women who are at risk want to go back to their abuser. and then, they end up getting killed.

>> the very next day, the couple is back on the road. and what happens next will spark a nationwide search. >> developments tonight. >> a missing woman. >> desperate for answers. >> he predicted the outcome. despite being on an antidepressant, i was still masking my depression symptoms. my doctor said it could be because my antidepressant alone wasn't enough. so she recommended an add-on treatment. she recommended adding rexulti. when taken with an antidepressant, rexulti was proven to significantly reduce depression symptoms more than an antidepressant alone. so with my antidepressant, rexulti could provide a boost. elderly people with dementia-related psychosis have increased risk of death or stroke. antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts and actions and worsen depression in children and young adults. call your healthcare provider right away to report new or sudden changes in mood, behavior, thoughts, or feelings, or if you develop suicidal thoughts or actions. report fever, stiff muscles, and confusion, which can be life-threatening;

the video shows an idyllic cross-country trip. gabby petito launches her vlogging. >> all the chocolate melted.

>> i know, it's a river of chocolate. >> you can't keep chocolate in utah. not in july. >> but she showed us the video like, it was an awesome video. like, we -- i enjoyed it. we all enjoyed it. i couldn't believe she was -- she made something like that. >> i think our plan for today is to just hang out here in the tent. >> she seemed a little stressed. but other than that, she was loving every moment visiting all the national parks and doing things that i've never done. >> surfing the sand dunes in colorado. like, that's -- that's -- cool man, you know? >> on the other side of the video camera, things seem to be melting down. >> i've been covering the gabby petito case since day one. we do know that on august 27th at merry piglets restaurant in jackson, wyoming, witnesses reported a lot of screaming, him yelling at the restaurant staff, going in and out of the restaurant. >> he was really angry. that's the best i can describe

it. he was just very visibly angry. and in that moment, gabby reminded me a lot of how she seemed in that body cam video of the cops. she just seemed distraught. she seemed really upset, she was emotional. she was crying. >> and then people saw them get into this van and leave. >> the last time gabby was seen was august 27th on the surveillance tapes at a whole foods grocery. er parents didn't see it till much later. >> i was watching the body language in that video, and it just didn't look right. he slams the door to the van, they walk in. she's got her arms crossed. >> just her body movements and -- not being close together, stuff like that, you know? and you -- you can -- you can see the differences. it screams confrontation. >> looking back, gabby's post that last week of august seem a little off.

later, internet sleuths comb through every post, offering opinions and coming up with theories about what happened. >> i do believe that going forward, these massive cases will find more ground on social media. they want to solve these cases. >> gabby in the photo has perfect hair after being on a trip for two months in a van. and she's holding a pumpkin and writes "happy halloween," which is odd because it was posted on august 25th. >> so in gabby's latest instagram post, her roots are not there, especially in comparison to some of them before that. >> were these posts put online by gabby? they seem like they aren't new photos. >> something isn't right.

to her mom, gabby's texts start to sound odd as well. like one about her grandfather. >> the text message to her mom read, "can you help stan? i just keep getting his voicemails and missed calls." stan is her grandfather's name. >> and what's weird about that is that gabby never called her grandfather by his name, stan. the last contact that gabby's mother has from her daughter is august 30th. she gets a text that says only "no service in yosemite," which is strange because it's so brief, but also, they weren't going to yosemite. >> nichole thinks maybe gabby and brian have changed their plans, but it almost sounds like gabby isn't sending the texts herself. is brian sending the texts? >> i questioned it, but then i thought there was fires out that way. maybe they had to reroute. maybe brian did send the text. maybe she's driving the van.

>> like, i had all these reasons as to why maybe it was from her. but that was the last text i received. and i -- every day, i'm like, "gabby, gabby, gabby," and i'm getting nothing. then i'm like, "let me check social media. there's gotta be something." nothing. so i called joe. i said, "i'm worried." he said he hadn't heard from her. and -- >> so you guys are texting each other, calling each other. >> oh yeah. we did anyway. i just started calling every hospital and national park i could to see if i can find out where they are. maybe it's just bad signal. >> were you talking to brian at this point? did you reach out to him? >> none of 'em would talk to us. >> i sent a text to roberta and brian, and i got no response from either one. >> same. i mean, i even went as far as, "i'm gonna call the cops." and usually when you hear, you know, someone's gonna call the cops, you wouldn't be like, "what are you -- let -- let's see what's going on here." and no. >> the petitos have no way of knowing that while they are trying to find gabby, gabby's van is on the move.

but brian is the only one in it. he has driven it all the way from wyoming back to florida. and when the police go to the laundrie home -- >> hi, i apologize. i have the detective on the phone. >> the petitos are staggered by what they hear. >> is gabriel here? >> no. >> she's not here, okay. >> brian is inside. gabby has disappeared. “the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like i was losing interest in the things i love. then i found a chance to let in the lyte.” discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i & ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common. caplyta can cause serious side effects. call your doctor about sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. anti-depressants may increase these risks in young adults. elderly dementia patients have increased

>> behind the scenes, gabby and brian would get into arguments. >> no, turn it back. >> i was texting her, "are you and brian okay?" 'cause i was worried about that dynamic, being stuck in the van together 24 hours a day. but never in a million years did we think that he would harm her. >> that didn't cross your mind? >> yeah. >> at what point did it get, "wait, something's going on here -- this doesn't make sense"? >> what didn't make sense is when we couldn't get in touch with her. >> the petitos call and text gabby. what they don't know is that on september 1st, brian, in that little white van, has driven back to florida, to his parents' house, alone. >> the neighbors saw the van in the driveway. one of the neighbors told me, "i did think it was strange that i didn't see gabby. but what do i know?

i'm just a neighbor here." >> the laundrie family is going about their business. >> neighbors told me that they saw brian and his parents going for walks down the street. and then eventually, brian and his parents went camping for a few days. >> they were camping at ft. de soto, which is our usual camping spot. and because it was labor day and the kids had school the next day, we just went for a couple of hours, and we ate dinner and had s'mores around the campfire and left. there was nothing peculiar about it. >> his sister says she didn't have any reason to ask about gabby, and she had no idea that anything was wrong. it just never came up. >> i'm frustrated that, in hindsight, i didn't pick up on anything. it was just a regular trip. >> 10 days after they last hear from her, september 11th, the petitos report gabby as missing. and on that very day, in north port florida, the police go to

the laundries' house. >> north port police department. hi, sir. i apologize for bothering you. i have the detective on the phone. >> i'm not talking to anybody right now. >> you don't want to talk to us? >> no. >> okay. she's on the phone. you don't want to talk to her now? >> no. >> okay. when was the last time that you saw brian and gabrielle? >> well, brian is here. >> brian is here? >> yeah. and that's all i'm going to say. >> and that's all you're saying? >> yeah, we have an attorney. they've been calling. i don't know. that's all i want to say. i don't know why so many attorneys -- >> okay. >> i can give you his number. >> whose number? the attorney's number? >> yeah. >> okay, i would like that, please. so i can give it to the detective. thank you. thank you. i appreciate it. and just to let the detective know, is gabrielle here or no? >> no. >> she's not here? okay.

they said that gabrielle's not here. that's all they're saying. his son is here, but gabrielle's not. and then they're not talking. >> brian's home. the van's home. gabby's nowhere to be found. >> and he has a lawyer. >> and he's got an attorney. >> and he's got an attorney. >> to hear all of that -- gabby loved that van. >> oh, yeah. she wouldn't have given that van up. >> did you immediately just think something is not right? >> oh, my god. >> yeah. >> i said -- >> i think i said, "he did something to her. i know it." >> as shocking as it may seem, the laundries are under no legal obligation to assist or to talk to the petitos. >> right now on abc action news, desperate for answers. >> the ever-expanding search for gabby petito. >> tonight the search for missing long island native gabby petito. >> in their desperation, gabby's parents are grasping at straws. >> or maybe it's just a hoax. >> yeah.

>> they're trying to get this youtube video up, so maybe it's just a hoax to try to get more followers. i mean, your -- your brain just goes and goes and goes. but in the back of your head it's like, "he's not talking and he has a lawyer." that's always -- that -- that just stuck right there. it's like, if something bad didn't happen, then he would've been talking. >> i had never had to contact an attorney when my daughter broke up with somebody. >> and there's the van, in the laundrie driveway. >> i'm not speaking to anybody. >> we're not comfortable talking. >> without an attorney, so that's that. >> okay. so the van is only registered to her, okay? >> well, i'm not really sure. >> well, i'm going to tell you. i'm telling you the title on the state of florida is it's only hers, so it's not supposed to be here. >> okay. >> so i'm going to take a tow truck and get it. is a car in the way? >> that's my car. i can move it. >> i mean, so you don't have any issue with us taking the van? >> if that's what you're saying you got to do, you got to do. but right now, i'm not speaking to you anymore without our attorney.

>> we don't know what brian knows. i mean, that's the bottom line. and we're hopeful to talk to him. he needs to talk to us. we need to know exactly where he was, where she was, their last locations. >> gabby's parents beg for information from her boyfriend. >> police have said that deafening silence from gabby's boyfriend brian laundrie is hindering their investigation and search efforts. >> we would've went to the edge of the earth to find her. >> you just go into, like, a hyper mode. and all we were thinking about was getting the word out to try to find her and doing what we had to do to try to assist in that. and we had no idea that it was going to take the entire world by storm. and our focus was just on her at that point. >> did you feel that at the time? did you -- did you know that it was everywhere? >> it was hard not to 'cause we would do interviews and they would tell us. >> the police get a search warrant for gabby's van. they don't find any evidence of a crime. but the fbi says something is missing.

the mattress is gone. the laundrie lawyer gives only a statement, that they hope the search for gabby is successful and that brian will "remain silent on advice of counsel." joe gives a press conference. >> what i need from everybody here is help. the goal is still not met and that goal is to bring gabby home safe. this is what matters. that is it. anything else, it comes second to this. >> tonight her boyfriend is now a person of interest, but he is not talking. the new pleas for him to share what he knows. >> it seems like a stalemate. but suddenly everything changes. >> when we got that alert that brian laundrie was "missing," my stomach dropped. i remember looking at my phone and not being able to believe what i was reading. >> now the laundrie parents are searching too. brian laundrie has disappeared.

where is gabby? where is gabby? where is gabby? >> what do you want? >> what do you know? >> brian has vanished. crowds start to gather outside the laundrie home in north port, florida, demanding answers.

gabby has not been heard from in over two weeks. you were feeling pretty desperate then? >> nobody actually laid eyes on brian but his parents came to the door and said he was home, it was just chaos. >> your heart sinks. >> it's an indescribable feeling in your body. you don't sleep, you don't eat. from that moment on, it's nonstop. >> in the very beginning of this investigation, at brian's parents' house, media was lining the street up and down. >> be respectful of everyone's property, please. >> north port police told us that they had been surveilling the house and had surveillance on the house during this time. but at some point, brian left. >> the laundrie family says they don't know where their son is at this point. and they're hoping for him to come home safely. >> we're going to turn next here to the search for that person of interest, brian laundrie, that search intensifying tonight. >> after brian's parents tell north port police that he has

gone camping in the carlton reserve, a massive manhunt ensues. >> numerous law enforcement agencies are involved in the search inside the carlton reserve. they're using drones, utvs, atvs, and they're searching a heavily wooded area. 75% of it is underwater. >> the carlton reserve is a 25,000-acre wildlife reserve. it is massive. and i can tell you that being there, it is a rough environment. we do know that brian laundrie has quite a lot of experience camping. >> brian's sister cassie says brian is skilled in surviving outdoors. >> he reads books about it, and it wouldn't surprise me if he could last out there a very long time. >> while authorities hunt for brian in the carlton reserve, gabby's parents band together in their search for gabby. >> gabby's parents tried to stay upbeat.

>> a million things racing through your mind at that point. just have no idea. >> we've all said it. we're not 9087 to the fact that we thought -- we really had hope. 'cause there's a million different scenarios that could play out just the same. hurt in the wilderness, bad reception, and all that stuff. maybe they split up and she's just done with him and doesn't want to tell us yet 'cause she's really upset. you're really trying to rationalize any scenario. >> you have that hope. >> while there are initially many empty leads in florida, something extraordinary unfolds. >> one thing that happened immediately after this case blew up in the media and on the internet was it opened up this broader conversation about missing women and specifically missing black and indigenous women and the lack of attention given to them. >> gabby's case, luckily, has brought awareness to that. >> let's stand up for missing, murdered indigenous women. >> it's really hard to talk about the missing white woman syndrome in the context of this

case, because of course we care deeply, deeply about gabby petito. but at the same time we have to recognize that we have an outsized compassion for young white women who are missing or murdered, and we have a negligence about brown women. >> there is really a vast difference. minorities do not get shared the same as a blond-haired, blue-eyed white girl. they have family, they have friends, they just want them found. indigenous women go missing and are murdered at a rate ten times higher than the rest of the country. it was, how can we help? what can we do to help elevate your voice? >> mary johnson davis. kimberly na yellowhair. sara nicole graham. >> wyoming, the last place gabby was seen, issued a report in 2020 that only 18% of indigenous women's missing cases got media coverage.

>> there's a phrase in indian country that when a native american woman goes missing, she disappears twice. once in life, and once in the news. >> laurie ann boffman. wanda faye walker. >> why do we have greater compassion in our hearts for gabby petito than we do for these other women? we have to really dig deeply to ask ourselves that question. >> it's on all of you, everyone that's in this room, to do that. and if you don't do that for other people that are missing, that's a shame because it's not just gabby that deserves that. >> it is our belief, and we want others to be inspired to share people and try to be cognizant of those who do not look like you. 600,000 people go missing a year. half of them are people of color. so, you know what? we have to share everybody. >> meanwhile, brian has now been missing for weeks.

the search going on. >> a lot of the public forms the opinion that brian laundrie has to be involved in gabby petito's disappearance. but police need actual evidence of criminal activity before they can make an arrest. >> what would you say to them? >> nothing. nothing. >> they don't deserve anything. >> they don't deserve anything. >> earlier today, human remains were discovered consistent with the description of gabrielle "gabby" petito. the cause of death has not been determined at this time. >> now this is no longer a missing persons case. it would soon become a murder investigation. and amazingly, it's someone online who cracks the case. >> when we found the footage i'm, like, "please, please keep recording. please keep recording. please be on here." and all of a sudden we see this white speck getting closer and closer and closer.

the search continues for gabby petito. >> grand teton national park, where gabby spoke directly with her family for the last time before she disappeared. >> where we are right now is the grand tetons in wyoming, just north of jackson hole on spread creek road, which is the camping area that brian laundrie and gabby petito were last camping at. >> once someone goes missing, you hope you have a starting point. where were they at last? when did you see them? the quicker you get search teams out, the better. the reality is, time's against you. >> the urgent search for a missing woman, gabby petito. >> her family telling us they have no idea where she could be. >> everyone wants to find gabby. and now, with social media, many are taking it upon themselves to

track her down. the internet sleuths get to work. >> the fact that she randomly posted it on august 25th with just that caption, to me is very suspicious. >> we had no idea that it was going to take the entire world by storm. >> also notice the capitalization is different. she never capitalized anything but the first word. >> it's a true crime story happening in real life, which you feel like you can participate in. so people on tiktok were immediately going to scrutinize, "why is she posting with a pumpkin?" "why is this video framed like that?" >> they're getting into gabby petito's mind and trying to align themselves to find out what happened. they're looking at the body language, they are looking into the timestamps. they're creating a map of everywhere that they traveled in this van. >> it just seemed like everybody came together as one, because they had a mission to find her.

>> then, a new discovery on tiktok, as a young woman named miranda baker says she thinks the hitchhiker she picked up in her jeep on august 29th was actually brian laundrie. >> my boyfriend and i came into the tetons. that's when brian had approached us, and he said, "hey, i need to get a ride back to jackson." >> he offered $200 to drive a few miles, and they thought that that was a little odd. >> he was really clean for someone who had been hiking for multiple days. that did strike me as weird, and especially his backpack. it wasn't full. he said him and his fiancé were camping at a dispersed campsite near snake river. the biggest red flag is, why would you go camping by yourself for multiple days alone with just a backpack and leave your fiancee in your van? it just doesn't make sense. we were driving for 15 minutes, and i had brought up, you know, "why are you going to jackson

hole?" and once i said "jackson hole," that's when the energy shifted. >> he got very upset about that. said, "please, let me out of the car." he got out of the car, and as miranda baker states, about 10, 15 seconds later, he was gone. >> and after people spend days online poring over countless posts, it is social media that helps find gabby's body. there is video found of gabby's white van in the grand tetons. how did you find out about that? >> i was out in wyoming there, and they were getting a tremendous amount of tips, and so people started recognizing, "hey, i was in that area around that time." so they started going back and looking at their own photos and their own videos. >> my name is jenn bethune, and i travel with my husband kyle, our three kids, and four dogs in our 1983 silver eagle bus.

our story is very intertwined with gabby's story. we're youtubers, and so we film all the time. >> it's the freaking tetons! >> she did not know at that time. they were just driving through the teton national forest, and this van is on the side of the road. >> it was crazy to us because it had florida plates, and we're from florida. and we were like, "ooh, we can go hang out with them." but the van looked very dark. it didn't look like anybody was there. >> she doesn't think much of it till many weeks later. >> the fbi denver twitter account posted this saying that they are conducting ground surveys at the spread creek dispersed camping area. >> without all that attention, jenn bethune never would have noticed that white van in her own footage. >> crazy part about that video from the bethunes is that for some reason the camera was rolling, and it wasn't supposed to be.

>> when we found the footage, i'm, like, "please, please keep recording. please keep recording." and all of a sudden, we see this white speck getting closer and closer and closer. >> we both got goosebumps all over our body. we knew it was her van as soon as the footage passed by it. it was an insane feeling. at 12:08 in the morning, i called the fbi. >> after the bethunes alert the fbi, they post their video online for the world to see. and when gabby's parents watch it, they call the fbi themselves, saying this, without a doubt, is their daughter's van. >> it was just unbelievable. we saw it. it -- it gives you, like, the heebie-jeebies. but at the same time, you're like, "there's a clue." like, that's where the van was. that's probably the last location. >> they were already in that area, searching. but it's such a vast area out there. >> it's huge.

>> and that was just like the missing piece to say we're -- we're in the right place. if they didn't have that, we could still be looking today. >> i think each of us that had tips and that had the sightings held a piece of the puzzle, so i think it was a community, as a whole, working together to bring gabby home. >> they could pinpoint exactly where that van was. and i want to say, within a day of that when is they found her. >> starting with breaking news. authorities found a body in the bridger-teton national park in wyoming. >> there is breaking news in the search for gabby petito. just moments ago, officials say remains found near grand teton national park -- >> tonight, officials confirming they found a body near grand teton national park -- >> earlier today, human remains were discovered consistent with the description of gabrielle "gabby" petito. >> and i said, "you have to be sure." >> and tragically, jim is about

since there were so many possibilities for what could have happened to gabby, her parents decide to split up and help out with the different searches across the country. >> we were told by the fbi, they wanted us to stay in florida.

jim was like, "i'm going to wyoming." nikki was in new york at the time, you know. so -- we were just really in all the locations where we needed to be. >> we would have went to the edge of the earth to find her. >> yeah. >> gabby petito has been reported missing for three weeks. gabby's parents are about to live a waking nightmare. >> jim had to make probably the -- it's safe to say the worst phone call you've ever had to make. i don't know how he made it. >> i could remember every making moment of that day, september 19th -- meeting with my fbi agent in the morning, kept getting phone calls asking about certain things. and finally, i got a phone call. they asked where i was. if i was close to the hotel. i said, "yeah, a few blocks away." they said, "you need to meet us there now." and at that moment, i knew it wasn't good. >> on september 19th, the fbi

announced that they had located remains just outside grand teton national park, in bridger-teton national forest. >> human remains were discovered consistent with the description of gabrielle "gabby" petito. >> they came in and they said, "we found remains consistent of your daughter. we won't know until we do a forensic autopsy. but you have to call your family." and there was another girl missing around the same time who fit her description. and i remember i was crying, and i said, "you have to be sure, i have to be sure if i'm making this phone call. remains consistent. what does that mean? it could mean it's not her." i said, "you have to give me something more than that." and they did. they showed me pictures. and i confirmed it was our daughter. >> i don't know how he did that.

>> just hearing it, it's like you can't keep from crying. >> that was the worst phone call of my life. >> 2,000 miles away. i don't have family with me. i can't hold her, i can't hold my other children. i said, "i'm gonna bring our daughter home no matter what. i'm not leaving there until i have her." and yeah, i lost a big part of myself, part of us, our family that day. >> we're not the same people we were before this happened. there was life before, and life after. >> we're lucky. we have a lot of memories. we're lucky we have so many pictures of her. i'm happy she took as many as she did, because that's what we have. that's what we have now. >> 22 beautiful years. >> through all of it, we still say it could have been worse. >> really?

>> could have never found her. >> yeah, we could have never brought her home. >> so many people that we know have been searching for their loved ones for five, ten, 20-plus years. and they always have that thought in the back of their mind that maybe they're still alive. >> once gabby has been identified by jim, there is an autopsy performed. and gabby's death is ruled a homicide. >> tonight, breaking news in the gabby petito case. what the coroner in wyoming has now determined. >> in the manner of death of gabrielle venora petito, we find the cause and manner to be, cause, death by strangulation and manner is homicide. >> it actually takes five to seven minutes for somebody to actually kill another human as they strangle them. so that is five to seven minutes where somebody is face-to-face with their victim, watching as they gasp for air, watching as their eyes fill up with blood. it is an incredibly gruesome, incredibly intimate form of homicide.

>> the reason that's important is when you look at domestic violence homicides that involve manual strangulation, there have often been instances involving nonfatal strangulation. >> where did he hit you? don't worry. just be honest. >> he, like, grabbed my face, like, like this -- >> a lot of times, if you strangle your loved one, your partner, it gets dropped down to a misdemeanor. >> less than 90% of the people charged with felony strangulation in this country are ever charged and convicted of strangulation. >> this is a vicious death, by any interpretation. and now, all the energy the public had poured into finding gabby petito is directed at finding brian laundrie. >> the nationwide manhunt for laundrie, still the only named person of interest in petito's murder after he returned from their cross-country road trip without her. >> soon there would be clues about what brian is hiding.

after a desperate, weeks-long search for gabby petito, her body was discovered beside a streambed near grand teton national park.

the cause of death, manual strangulation. now that gabby has been found, the focus turns to finding brian laundrie. >> according to the fbi, while brian was driving gabby's van back to florida, it seemed as if he was trying to cover his tracks. the fbi would later say he was attempting to deceive law enforcement by sending text messages to and from gabby's phone, as well as from gabby's phone to her mother. >> i was texting every day. i wasn't getting a response. and then finally on august 30th, i get a text that says, "we have no signal, we're in yosemite." like, i had all these reasons as to why maybe it was from her. but that was the last text i received. >> the search for brian, first out west, then in the south, is now focused on an area in

florida not far from where his parents lived. a few weeks into the search, brian's parents join the effort. they go into an area in the park that they had told police to search, but it had been underwater at the time. shortly after, authorities find his remains. >> earlier today, investigators found what appear to be human remains along with personal items. >> this morning, the month-long manhunt for brian laundrie, ending where it began, the fbi using dental records to confirm the remains are his. >> among the materials belonging to brian laundrie that authorities uncover was a letter from his mother. and it said, "burn after reading." >> i remember the first time i read that letter, i had to read it, like, three times 'cause i was so confused. i didn't understand.

>> and the letter reads, "you are my boy. nothing can make me stop loving you. if you are in jail, i will bake a cake with a file in it. if you need to dispose of a body, i will show up with a shovel and garbage bags." >> it made me feel, like, very uncomfortable and i -- i felt sick to my stomach. i was like, "how is this even possible?" >> a lawyer representing the laundries has said the letter had nothing to do with gabby petito's death and had been written months earlier. roberta laundrie would later say in an affidavit, "the letter was a reference to a book she had given him earlier, called, 'burn after writing' and was intended as a way to bond with her son." >> a month after brian was found, the medical examiner released his findings from the autopsy. brian died by suicide. he shot himself in the head. >> the attorney for the laundrie family releases the actual pages from brian laundrie's notebook.

now people can read for themselves what brian laundrie says happened. >> "gabby, i wish i was right at your side. i loved you more than anything." >> and then it goes from this beautiful sort of love letter to this very serious, scary situation. >> "rushing back to our car trying to cross the streams of spread creek before it got too dark to see, too cold. i hear a splash and a scream." >> brian claims that he wasn't sure exactly where they were. he didn't think he could make it back to the van. >> "she said little, lapsing between violent shakes, gasping in pain, begging for an end to her pain." >> brian says he killed gabby as a form of mercy. >> "i ended her life. i thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but i see now all the mistakes i made."

>> the petitos release a statement saying that they don't believe anything that's in this notebook. >> he was a liar. nothing he said in those stories were true. he was a coward to the day that he died. >> when you look back at all the stuff that happened, were there any red flags that this was coming? >> yes, there were. but we didn't notice them at the time. >> could you sense if he was controlling her? >> so gabby didn't come up to us and say, "he's doing this." it's things that we would notice, again, after the fact. we can see that that pattern was part of that progression that she was in. >> since her death, gabby's parents have uncovered communications between her and brian that show the darker side of their relationship, shared as part of the new netflix series. one of those texts from gabby to brian said, "don't try to control me because it only makes me mad.

i love you so much, but it's the way you speak to me that hurts me the most." they also found a haunting letter that gabby had written to brian. >> "brian, you know how much i love you. just please stop crying and stop calling me names. you in pain is killing me." >> gabby's family says there were potential signs in their daughter's relationship that could have caused alarm bells to ring earlier. gabby's parents established the gabby petito foundation to help other parents recognize the signs of domestic violence. >> there's so many versions of it. and a lot of people don't even know where to go when they're in it. knowing what we know now, we see that progression that happened. alienation of friends and family. >> isolation. >> it's hard to pick up. but when you get a high-level

view, you can see the -- the path that that was leading to. and that's the part that is hard for us. >> and that's one of the reasons why we started the -- the foundation -- the gabby petito foundation, to teach others and other parents. there might be some tips that you could talk to your child about, and try to let them know that you are there for them and that there are resources out there. >> i get messages all the time from people saying, "i -- i didn't realize i was in a bad relationship or a potentially violent relationship until i saw her story. i saw it, i got help, and i safely got out. and if it wasn't for her, i wouldn't be here today." >> but one thing that brought them a bit of peace. >> it was therapeutic for us. >> and the way gabby petito will be changing lives.

how did you guys end up with the van? >> once everything was done, the fbi asked us what we wanted to do with it, and we contemplated a few things. at the end, we were like "we just don't want the vibe to it." we had the van crushed. no one really knows that, but we did. >> it was very therapeutic for us. >> yeah. >> almost like when you go to, like, one of those rage rooms, and you get to smash things. >> that was fantastic. >> gabby petito never goes outside.

>> i understand the laundries lost a son. and for that, they have my sympathy 'cause i know how that feels, losing a child. and you will never get over that. so, my heart breaks for them for that. but that's the only thing my heart breaks for for them. >> since brian will never be prosecuted for killing gabby, the petitos want someone held responsible. the petitos file multiple lawsuits -- one of them is for wrongful death against brian laundrie's estate. months later, there is a settlement. >> the family of gabby petito will be awarded $3 million in a wrongful death lawsuit against the estate of brian laundrie. >> an attorney for the laundries said in a statement, "hopefully this brings some closure to this one chapter of this tragedy." >> gabby's parents also file a lawsuit against brian's parents, alleging their actions caused them pain and suffering.

they allege brian's parents knew that something was wrong, but didn't share that information. >> in a deposition, chris laundrie says that a frantic brian called them from the road, said he needed a lawyer, but never said gabby was dead, only that she was "gone." roberta laundrie said she thought maybe brian and gabby had gotten in a fight. two years later, announcements by both families -- >> the parents of gabby petito have settled a civil lawsuit against the parents of petito's former fiance, brian laundrie. both sides say they've reached an agreement to avoid a civil trial. the terms are confidential. >> as for the moab police, gabby's parents file a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against the department, alleging negligence. >> in filings, attorneys responded that while "petito's murder is tragic, only speculation supports the assertion that moab could have changed history."

gabby's parents remain committed to seeking justice for their daughter. >> the one thing we need more than anything else is, don't make it just another cautionary tale. use her -- you know, her situation and her story as a lesson of what can and should not happen. we've been a part of four law changes since this all happened. two in florida, one in one in utah, and one nationally. and it's her voice doing it, not us. >> they take the call because of gabby. >> because of her name. she did it. not us. and she's going to continue doing it. she's doing more in her death than she did in her life. >> the goal is to mandate that in domestic violence situations, police make a risk assessment and better collaborate with victim advocates. >> i really think when it came to her and brian, she saw the best in him.

she looked at the good. that's who she was. >> gabby had a tattoo on her arm at gabby's memorial service, jim alongside joe delivers a eulogy. >> gabby had a tattoo on her arm that read, "let it be." the title of a song that a band that she loved. there's a verse from that song that speaks to me. "when the broken-hearted people living in the world, there will be an answer." ♪ there will be an answer let it be ♪ >> it's okay to mourn for gabby. it's okay to feel sorrow and pain. but we want to celebrate her and how she lived her life. we want to hold on to all those wonderful memories that we shared with her. because that will be the answer. let it be.

♪ >> deborah: so many broader ramifications to this story about all missing women. and to that end, the petitos say they intend to use the $3 million they were awarded in a wrong definitely lawsuit to fund the foundation named for gabby. >> david: we should point out a different lawsuit from the petito family for $50 million against the moab, utah, police has been dismissed. the family tells us they do plan to appeal. that is our program for tonight. i'm david muir. >> deborah: i'm deborah roberts. from all of us here at "20/20" and abc news, good night.
