Judge Dismisses Petito Wrongful Death Lawsuit

(Moab, UT) — A judge is dismissing a wrongful death lawsuit involving a Utah police department brought by the parents of Gabby Petito. Petito was 22-years old when she was killed by her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, in 2021 while on a road trip in Wyoming. Her family was suing the city of Moab and its police department. They allege police failed to do enough to protect Gabby weeks before her death after officers pulled the couple over for a report of a domestic violence incident. The two were separated for that night but then allowed to get back together the next day.
