The Gabby Petito Story: An American Tragedy

In a 60 Minutes special, reporter Sarah Abo delves into the details of Gabby Petito’s life and murder and examines the shocking developments in the investigation into her fiancé.
Gabby was an American woman who was killed while traveling on a vanlife journey across the United States with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. The trip began on July 2, 2021, and was planned to last four months; however, Petito disappeared in late August.
After Petito went missing, Laundrie raised suspicion when he drove Petito’s van from Wyoming back to his parents’ house in North Port, Florida, and refused to talk about her whereabouts. He was deemed a person of interest in the case, and an arrest warrant was issued on charges of making withdrawals using someone else’s debit card. Laundrie departed his home in Florida on September 13 and was reported missing on September 17.
The Petito case gained national attention due to the couple’s social media activity, police body camera video footage, 9-1-1 emergency dispatch call recordings, and eyewitness accounts.
