“We believe that if the lethality assessment had been properly used in her situation, together with the recommended support and resources, Gabby would still be alive today.” The police body camera footage of that stop shows Moab officers talking to Petito and Laundrie, who admitted having a fight in which Petito said she struck her fiancé first.

When Petito used her hand to cover her mouth to show officers what Laundrie allegedly did to her, Strack said, police should have recognized it as strangulation, a red flag for escalating domestic violence and a better indication that he was the primary aggressor in the situation. The bill would also mandate police ask a series of questions called a Lethality Assessment Program to survivors in order to determine their potential danger. They didn’t really give her the space to collect herself, Bianco added, and open up. Laundrie’s injuries, she said, were minor and appear to her more like attempts by Petito at self-defense; they were mostly small scratches, which seem to be caused by Laundrie moving his arm out of the way than Petito actually hitting him. And because of that negligence in not recognizing the risks Petito faced, they say, Petito was left to continue traveling with Laundrie, who killed her about a month later in Wyoming; Laundrie then killed himself after returning home to Florida. Petito had said she punched his arm after he took her phone and tried to lock her out of their van. In the image, she is sweating and crying in the back of the van the couple was traveling the country in. Seeing the markings on her face should have prompted officers to ask more questions, Strack said. And they don’t know what her intent was in taking it, including whether she planned to report Laundrie to law enforcement. But they believe she was trying to document her injuries. Domestic violence experts, though, say that based on the picture, Petito’s injuries were more serious than police seemed to realize. Two minutes later, a bystander called 911 to say that they had just witnessed Petito’s boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, slapping Petito in a parking lot in Moab.
