The true story behind American Murder: Gabby Petito
According to the BBC, in August 2021, 22-year-old Gabby Petito and her fiancé Brian Laundrie set out on a road trip across the United States, sharing their adventures on social media. What was intended to be a four-month journey turned tragically when Gabby disappeared on August 27.
Following this, Brian returned to Florida without her, raising suspicions. Authorities issued an arrest warrant for him after it was found that he had used Gabby's debit card. The search for Gabby intensified, and on September 19, her body was discovered in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest.
Autopsy reports stated that Gabby died from "blunt force injuries to the head and neck" and manual strangulation. Brian, the main suspect, vanished soon after Gabby's body was found.
A month later, on October 21, his remains were located in a Florida nature reserve, and it was confirmed that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. In a shocking turn of events, the FBI revealed that Brian had confessed to killing Gabby in a notebook discovered near his body. The notes revealed that Brian beat and strangled Gabby to death during their cross-country trip.
American Murder: Gabby Petito not only focuses on Gabby's tragic murder but also shows how the media and public turned the case into a huge story, capturing the attention of people nationwide.
