À propos de cet audio

They seemed perfect: two young lovers, traveling the country in a converted van, documenting it all online. But behind the curated photos and glowing captions, something darker was growing.


In the summer of 2021, 22-year-old Gabrielle “Gabby” Petito and her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, embarked on a cross-country “van life” journey. Their trip earned them admiration across social media—until Gabby disappeared. On September 11, her mother filed a missing persons report. Brian returned home without her, claiming nothing.


Investigators later uncovered a chilling timeline of deceit, abuse, and silence. Bodycam footage from Moab, Utah showed Gabby distraught and apologetic, while Brian remained composed. Texts sent to Gabby’s mother were later believed to have been fabricated to obscure the truth. On September 19, authorities found Gabby’s remains in Wyoming; the official cause of death: homicide by strangulation and blunt force trauma. Brian, meanwhile, was named a person of interest, and days later vanished himself. His remains were discovered in Florida — nearby was a notebook containing a confession: “I ended her life. I thought it was merciful.”
