@crmnallyobsessed: Gabby Petito’s family is speaking out five years after she embarked on a cross-country “van life” road trip with her fiancé Brian Laundrie that would change their lives forever. Gabby’s stepmother, Tara Petito, reveals new details about Gabby’s personal life, and warning signs of domestic violence that she believes could help save lives. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with Tara Petito for an emotional conversation about Gabby's life, legacy, and the “painful” and “infuriating” moments that still haunt her. Tara shares stories about Gabby that we’ve never heard before, reflects on the police encounter now made infamous via bodycam, and discusses the red flags she believes everyone should recognize in abusive relationships. We learn the status of the $50 million wrongful death lawsuit the Petito family filed against the Moab City Police Department, and what comes next in their case. The conversation also looks at where the Petito family is today. Through the Gabby Petito Foundation and the Crime Unfiltered Tour, they are working to educate others about domestic violence, support victims, and help people recognize the signs of coercive and controlling behavior.
