foreign [Music] what comes to mind a young inspiring blogger who love life love Adventures how a girl
who was on the cusp of beginning life and whose life was tragically taken from her
the FBI announcing a medical examiner says the body found in Wyoming was indeed that of Gabby Patito the coroner
calling her death a homicide Brian laundry I believe made his decision to kill himself after he killed
Gabby potato investigators say human remains found in Florida this week are those of Brian
laundry the only person of interest in the death of his fiancee Gabby petito Gabby potato has been gone for over a
year now is this case over no this case is far from over my name is Mary full geniti and I'm a
former Federal prosecutor and defense attorney there are still a lot of questions for
Gabby's parents the primary one being with Gabby Patito still be alive today if the case have been handled
differently [Music] came to know Gabby potito and Brian laundry because they were putting
themselves out there in social media documenting their travels throughout America this young couple in love living
out of their van seeing what the world had to offer living the dream my name is Dr Chris mohandi and I'm a
forensic psychologist but what we come to learn is that that was a veneer all the chocolate melted
it's a river of chocolate much as I know Gabby and feel like I know Brian you just never know when it
comes to relationships we've been lucky so far at all the places where you've stayed but I'd say this is one of the
best so far anyone that's met the two of them has been like they seem like such a nice
couple a lot of couples look nice on Instagram about a month into their trip Gabby and
Brian have a lot of arguments it gets physical a witness reports it to the Moab police
hey how are you I'm with Moab police they respond and now we see that there's trouble in
Paradise when you look back could that Moab police stop than a game changer oh absolutely
it's hard not to wonder what would have happened to Gabby if either Gabby or Brian had been arrested that day
two people went on a trip one person returned and that person that returned isn't providing us any information
is we believe the circumstantial evidence demonstrates that the laundry family was
aware that their son had murdered Gabby and that they were aware of the location
of her remains they refused to communicate to the petito family as human beings How could
somebody not pick up that phone and say I'm so sorry we don't know what happened
what can we do to help and the only reason why you wouldn't is if obviously something went a foul
Gabby is the most amazing person I've ever met I've never felt a pain like this I have screamed into the air what
happened because I I want answers we will get Justice for her no matter what
