Brian 'went camping' with his parents for three days (via toofab)
Moab City Police Department in Utah have released body cam footage of their interaction with Brian Laundrie and Gabrielle Petito, two weeks before Gabby's last sighting.
"We just had a little disagreement, she got a little worked up," he said."Just little things... there's a lot of little things." The witness said they did not see the Laundrie hit Petito; he saw him lock her out of the van, and her trying to get back in, eventually"clawing" her way in through the driver's door. He also said he saw Laundrie shove her, but couldn't tell if it was aggressive or defensive."It sounds like she is the primary aggressor," the officer tells his colleagues.
"I definitely don't want to pursue anything, I love her and it was just a squabble," Laundrie tells them, even volunteering to go to jail in her place. The officers all discuss how to resolve the situation, clearly keen on letting the pair go, despite the law insisting Petito be detained and charged, and the couple separated.
"If he doesn't have enough sense to stay separated, it's on him," one officer tells his colleagues out of earshot. "On behalf of the Laundrie family, it is our hope that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is reunited with her family," it said."On the advice of counsel, the Laundrie family is remaining in the background at this juncture and will have no further comment."
"Brian claims he wants to sit in the background while we search for Gabby in the wilderness of the Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. Brian left Gabby in the wilderness with grizzly bears and wolves while he sits in the comfort of his home. In his home! Brian, how could you do this to Gabby? You selfishly remain silent while Gabby is all alone in the wilderness.
On Tuesday, it also emerged that Utah police had been called to an"incident" involving the couple, two weeks before she disappeared, but nothing came of it.
According to police, Laundrie returned home to Florida, alone, on September 1 - ten days before Gabrielle's family reported her missing. While he was initially described as her boyfriend, several outlets report the couple are engaged.Brian Laundrie's parents are reportedly refusing to let police speak to him.
