Gabby Petito's family plans to file a lawsuit alleging that Moab police failed to recognize their daughter was in a life-threatening situation.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah --
Gabby Petito's family on Monday notified Utah officials of plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that police failed to recognize their daughter was in a life-threatening situation last year when officers investigated a fight between her and her boyfriend. The fight happened weeks before authorities say the boyfriend killed her while the couple was on a cross-country van trip.
The notice of claim contends police in the tourist town of Moab missed signs that Petito was the victim of domestic violence at the hands of Brian Laundrie on August 12, 2021.Police body camera video from that day showing Petito, 22, visibly upset was widely viewed as the investigation unfolded and raised questions about whether a different police response could have prevented her death.
"If the officers had been properly trained and followed the law, Gabby would still be alive today," said attorney James McConkie in a statement announcing the filing of the notice of claim.
