New body camera footage reveal interaction between Gabby Petito and Moab police

According to a second body camera video released by Moab police, Gabby Petito told officers Brian Laundrie hit her — but only after she hit him. Police stopped the pair on Aug. 12 after a 911 caller reported the two were seen fighting. Asked if Laundrie hit her, Petito replied, “I guess. Yeah. But I hit him first.” The officer asked Petito if she’d been hit in the face or on the arm. “Where did he hit you?” the officer asked. “Don’t worry, just be honest.” “He didn’t, like, hit me in the face,” she said. “He didn’t, like, punch me in the face or anything.” “Did he slap your face, or what?” the officer asked. Petito said Laundrie “grabbed me with his nail, and I guess that’s why it looks — I definitely have a cut right here,” she said, indicating her cheek. “I can feel it. When I touch it, it burns.” Read more here:
