To recap, the YouTuber and her fiancé Brian Laundrie have been stopped by police within the Utah city on August 12, 2021 — after a witness referred to as a couple of home dispute. Cops discovered the couple’s van and requested them about what occurred. As seen within the notorious bodycam footage, a tearful Gabby informed them she had attacked Brian and NOT the opposite approach round, just like the 911 caller mentioned. The witness had particularly mentioned he noticed Brian hitting Gabby. However the assorted regulation enforcement officers ignored that and agreed Gabby was “the first aggressor.” They threatened to place the crying, 22-year-old soon-to-be homicide sufferer in jail for an evening.

So it’s no marvel Gabby’s mother and father filed a wrongful dying lawsuit in opposition to the Moab Metropolis Police Division, in addition to the person officers concerned — specifically Eric Pratt, who took level on the cease. There’s already loads of proof, together with the unbiased investigation which confirmed that cops made “a number of unintentional errors” in the course of the cease. However the household’s $50 million grievance, launched final November, mentions one thing nobody has seen:
“Gabby took {a photograph} of her harm, which exhibits blood throughout her nostril and left eye. Gabby identified the harm to Officer Pratt, however he ignored her and did nothing extra to research or doc the harm.”
Clearly we’ve seen tons of pics the fledgling influencer took alongside her journey — nevertheless it’s not like she would have posted that one to Instagram. Nonetheless, it was nonetheless on her telephone. And Gabby’s household’s attorneys, the regulation agency of Parker & McConkie, have now launched it to the general public.
In a press launch posted to their web site, they posted the pic for all to see. And it’s simply heartbreaking.
The photograph was allegedly taken simply two minutes earlier than the police stopped and questioned Gabby. Does this appear to be the face of the “main aggressor”??
The authorized workforce additionally reiterated:
“The photograph demonstrates the minimize beforehand famous on her left cheek in addition to blood smeared from her brow, throughout her left eye and cheek and over her nostril, indicating that she was grabbed over her face in such a approach that her airways have been doubtless obstructed. Gabby documented the harm and, in the course of the cease, tried to inform the Moab officers, nevertheless, the seriousness and significance this kind of assault and harm was utterly ignored.”
They even posted a transcript of that actual second within the cease, which — once more — you’ll be able to nonetheless see on YouTube.
Petito: “He like grabbed my face, like, I suppose. He didn’t like hit me within the face. He didn’t like punch me within the face.”
Officer: “Did he slap your face or what?”
Petito: “Properly, he like grabbed me, like, along with his nail, and I suppose that’s why it hurts. I undoubtedly have a minimize. Like, I can really feel it.”
Police ignored what the complainants imagine is evident proof of aggravated assault. The regulation agency’s launch famous:
“Home violence consultants who’ve reviewed the proof have said that ‘all of the clues lead us to conclude that Gabby was most probably strangled and/or suffocated by Brian earlier than the police arrived on August 12, 2021.’ Home violence analysis exhibits that if a sufferer of intimate accomplice violence is strangled or suffocated even one time, she is 750% extra prone to be killed by that individual.”
