NEW YORK — Gabby Petito's family revealed more details in the police encounter over a domestic violence incident, two weeks before he strangled her to death.
Laundrie"seemed like a mental and emotional bully" to a Utah police officer who responded to a domestic call on Aug. 12, 2021, according to an amended lawsuit filed Wednesday night by Petito's parents.
"Officer Pratt has also admitted, 'I thought he was an emotional threat to her. I thought he was a mental threat to her.' Similarly, he says he concluded during the traffic stop that Brian 'seemed like a mental and emotional bully,'" the amended complaint said. The family's amended lawsuit accused Pratt and other officers of failing to properly investigate the incident that preceded Petito's death and said"Gabby's murder might have been prevented if the officers had acted properly."
Petito's parents filed a lawsuit against Laundrie's family and a lawsuit against the Moab police department in connection with their daughter's death.
