- Gabby Petito's parents have filed a lawsuit against a Utah police department claiming that her death could have been avoided. Moab City Police stopped Gabby and her fiance Brian Laundrie weeks before he killed her. The couple admitted to having a fight but the lawsuit wrongly claims the officers took his side.
“Toxic Love: The Gabby Petito Tragedy” airs Saturday, Nov. 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the HLN television network.

As they should !!!! They should have arrested him on site after that phone call from the very 1st witness- actually 2 witnesses !!!
there was two 911 calls and both said that the guy was slapping the girl, poor communication by LE or deliberate??
Why would it be deliberate?
two 911 calls, witnesses stating Brian was the aggressor. Not rocket science
Lmao the parents that let him live with them. Projection, your honor.
Yes sue the men who protected a woman beater! Happened to me in Alaska where I had an active restraining order and the police harassed me instead of following the law.
I am so sorry you had to go through that. That's horrible, I pray you're in a safe place and have begun to heal 🙏. May God give you peace that passes all understanding. 💖
I hope your life is in a safer place. I’m sorry about all you had to go through and that in your time of extreme need you were let down. 🙏
Happens everyday all over. Seems to be standard police procedure. Happened to me several times in Missouri.
Also, I am very sorry that happened to you. What a disgrace.
@@gmimi2 thanks! It was so scarey to have no one on my side..poor Gabby must of felt the same. I won sole custody and relocated to Hawaii where it took 5 years to heal.
Are the police supposed to be psychic now? How would anyone tell this was going to happen?
Even though suing this police dept in Utah will not bring back their daughter, at least with the funds of the lawsuit that the Petitos can help other women and men who are in danger in these dv situations.
Suing a small cash strapped department for 50 million dollars, resulting in less cops, equipment and training will definitely result in more help for men and women in DV situations......on Fantasy Island.
I predict this suit will be dismissed once filed, there is no cause of action.
This was the hardest, the saddest story that I have ever watch, mind you I have watched sad movies, but this was real life, real people and it broke my heart, that idiot bf and his awful, horrible parents who are still living, they should be locked up, no doubt about it!
Uvalda was the saddest story ever. Two nuts on a cross country road trip, neither surviving what they both did, is fairly predictable.
How are his parents at fault??
@@emersonmanning6523 9/11 was sadder, school shooting are fairly predictable.
Do you see how stupid it sounds to compare tragic events to boast which one was more sad!? They were both heartbreaking situations, not a opportunity to have a pissing contest about which one caused more emotional damage.
@@catdaddydonbrewer007
There's NOTHING sadder than the murders of children. Not 911 and CERTAINLY not this case.
See how stupid it is to think I care about your opinion? I couldn't give less of a fck.
@@emersonmanning6523 you sound like the perfect person to be the judge of what’s situation is sadder, self described as “couldn’t give less of a fuck”. 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t think about you at all much less think you’d care about my opinion. Why would I want you to care about my opinions?
All police should be made aware of "reactive abuse" (when an abuse victim lashes out) and what it looks like. It's strange that the people tasked with managing domestic abuse situations know so little about it
I’ve watched some body language experts and if they can’t detect body language (in fact they said it looks like a stunt for her TH-cam. Gotta get those likes!) then how can all our police tell. Even if they did detect …. She would have run back to him…. And, why didn’t her parents do something if they’re all knowing🤔
That's a trial defense argument. Her confession and the hard evidence should have resulted in Gabby's arrest. The cops aren't juries, they can't make an arrest on a theory.
You can't blame the Police if the girl goes back to her abuser.
The only one who should have been arrested was Gabby. She admitted to violence. Daddy dearest didn't do her any favours either. He needs to look in the mirror. All he taught her was to pretend to cry to get her own way. It worked wonders with the police.
yes, if they would have arrested her, she might have been in jail for a short time and maybe things would have cooled down and she would have lived.
Daddy dearest didn’t set a good example.
No he didn't. He set no boundaries, installed zero discipline. He basically taught her she would always get her own way by pouting.
@SheilaLS Tragedy could have been avoided if she was taught violence isn't acceptable & that she isn't immune because she had big blue eyes.
You can tell her parents are users and abusers she was abusive
I can't even watch that footage, it's infuriating!
I actually had to stop listening, too. Their pain is palatable and I want everyone who contributed to that pain to be held accountable... the cop who believed Brian was the victim, his parents, their lawyer, and anyone else that hid the truth from Gàbby's family.
@@Bees123Knees he had a scratched up face.
Self defense . A man should never hit / slap a woman .
She was defending herself from an attack from nowhere .
He was a time bomb waiting to go explode in rage .
Me: scared to reply invade I get sued
The worst possible way to get any person or organization to change is by blaming them for a murder that another person has already confessed and admitted to THEN take legal action for the monetary gain of 50 million dollars.
They tried suing the parents of the actual murderer first, now there just going down the list of anyone the next in line that they maybe can get some money out of.
I remember when they began asking for donations to fight domestic violence AND to pay for "legal fees" (read the small print)...
I immediately knew their intentions were to get rich quick under the guise of "charity" for the greater good. Her parents are typical grifters and con artists.
They should have been split up and Gabby given a chance to tell them exactly what was happening even if it meant arresting her first. He was a ticking time bomb.
TODAYS POWERBALL JACKPOT...50,000,000 .......chances of wining 1/2...GOOD luck to all players..
this is the dumbest lawsuit ever filed, we have constitutional rights in America
If this Happened in the state of California . They would have put him in jail because she had been obviously slapped in her face . Evidence alone . And there were 2 witnesses that called in and they both were the same . “We saw the man slap the girl “.
But Utah , women have no rights there .
I’m glad the parents are suing .
They will have their due justice .
Parents are right. 👌
sorry, gabby admitted she hit him. also, no one wants her dead, but its not the police departments job, its not the schools job, raise your kids to know the difference. you know why this situation has never happened to me? because when i dated someone, if they showed red flags, i dumped them. The police are damned if they do and damned if they dont
I feel her parents are far more culpable themselves than the limited encounter with police. Why should the police have picked up signs in a few minutes that the parents themselves didn’t pick up in however many years they dated? Wth.
@@jlawson6879 correct. No one wants to take accountability in america
I don't blame the parents but I think people are too emotionally invested in this case to see what is right in front of their face and that was Gabby wanted to be with Brian. They are behaving like she was some vulnerable child who had no free will, she absolutely did and she chose to stay in a hotel room and wait for him when he was in Florida. She wasn't being held hostage, nobody was forcing her to be there, she was there by choice. How can the police be responsible for an abuse victim refusing to cooperate with them and choosing to stay with the abuser? That's what happened here. Gabby spoke to her parents after MOAB, she had multiple opportunities to leave the relationship if she wanted to, she chose not to. Not the fault of the police
The problem is - They didn’t protect and Serve .
The parents that failed are the ones that hid a murderer in their house from the police . Not teaching Taking personal accountability for your actions -
I hope the Petito's win. Fly 🕊️ High Gabby with the Angel's 😇🙏😇🕊️🙏💗🙏💓
Why?
Why not sue Brian's parents??
They are....
It’s all about money for them.
For what?? I hope your being sarcastic, if not I feel sorry for you! You hold the person responsible accountable. I can guarantee you his parents weren’t hoping that their son would be a sadistic, abusive, idiot who murdered an innocent girl. Nor did they push him to murder this girl. So why in the fuck would they be to blame. If that’s the case every parent of any criminal, murderers, rapist, kidnappers, all the way down to people violating parking regulations would need to be sued and held liable.
You always hear people saying to kids that come from dysfunctional families and harmful home environments, “you’re not your parents, you don’t have to live that way, you can break free and be something better”. So a complete contradiction to that is blaming the parents when the kid is a fuck up. If the kid can break free and follow a different path than the bad parents, they can also break free from the path of great parents.
Blame the ones not responsible breeds idiots like the guy because they aren’t held liable.
This is a statement. I saw I watched the whole thing I saw it last year. When I saw it I knew No train I need. After that happened the following week me and Gabby we talked about it. Her Instagram message. Joe. Listen I don’t know you I really don’t know you I really don’t. I really don’t know you or your family. I will leave you alone OK. I hurt you are you sad that is not your daughter I hope you said that. That is your daughter she lives with you OK
They should get more then that ..I'll make everyone pay for what happened to their beautiful sweet daughter.. She should have never gotten murder. If anything brain should have been under ground not Gabby I'm sorry god for give me.. I pray that the Gabby parents case wins and deserves more...
Everybody is getting sued for anything, especially in politics.
Yeah, well, the police screwed up here. Had they followed the state laws and arrested Gabby when she said that she hit Brian, she would most likely still be alive today.
They deserve to be sued
Texas Midland police and Dc pd and sfpd
She was abusive too
And police failed to arrest her and separate them
also
The Petito's should sue ALL law enforcement involved in this travesty of injustice.
I wouldn't worry about the insensitive clowns at the traffic stop.
I would sue the PANTS off 'law enforcement' who sat on their arses outside the Laundrie's home and did NOTHING. NOTHING.
Not allowing their daughter shack up might’ve helped.
Richard Blankenship
She’s an adult . The parents have no legal rights to make her do anything .
Are you blaming the victim ? .
@@collettejazaerli9811 Yes.
I am surprised it took the family this log to file the lawsuit... When I saw the video of the traffic stop, you can OBVIOUSLY see that she was upset to the point of tears, and he was nervous and almost looked like he was :wired: or on some type of drugs..very nervous and jittery, of it had just been that she jerked the wheel and or thrown her phone at him, then he would have had much less to be worried about, he was hiding something, there should have been more done, MUCH MORE... I saod when I saw the video they could have saved her life by separarting them for more than 1 night... so sad law enforcement know so little bout abuse...
