Brian Laundrie Wiki – Brian Laundrie Biogarphy

MOAB, UTAH – Attorneys for the family of slain Gabby Petito say they found evidence that her killer, Brian Laundrie was an “emotional and mental threat to Gabby” in the weeks before her death. Gabby’s family has now filed a $50 million lawsuit against the Moab Police Department as a result of officers failing to make any arrests in connection with the domestic abuse.

The information was discovered in a court filing on Wednesday, March 1, after attorneys for Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt released transcripts of an interview between the Moab police officer who first approached the couple and the captain of Price police who independently reviewed the incident. A domestic violence incident involving the couple occurred in Moab, Utah, about two weeks before Laundrie’s alleged strangulation and Gabby’s death at a campground in the Bridger-Teton National Forest north of Jackson, Wyoming.

There, witnesses reportedly saw him beating her in a public space. When police officers saw the couple, they chose not to press any charges against the couple despite the fact that every domestic fight must result in an arrest or fine under Utah law. Now, Gabby’s family has filed a new complaint against the City of Moab, its police department, and several current and former department employees. The new lawsuit can be seen here.

Charges on Brian Laundrie

Capt. Brandon Ratcliffe of the Price Police Department launched an external investigation as a result of a missing arrest. In the end, he accused the responding officers, Eric Pratt and Daniel Robbins, of making “unintentional errors” and offered a number of suggestions on discipline and training.

The new lawsuit, which also accuses Pratt of willful wrongdoing, claims that he did not actually apply a “fatality screening protocol” that the city’s police department allegedly put in place in 2018 to protect victims of domestic violence from their abusers.

Petito, who evidently felt uncomfortable throughout the conversation with the responding officers, informed them that Laundrie had grabbed his face while he was pointing at his neck. The cops debated whether to make an arrest or issue a ticket, but ultimately decided that Petito was the assailant despite originally seeming reluctant to take the distraught woman to jail. They didn’t seem to think of Laundrie as a suspect, even though the 911 caller said she was attacking her in public.

Ratcliffe, an experienced officer, allegedly did not really think Petito had assaulted Laundrie, according to a transcript of Pratt’s interview with Ratcliffe that was included in the new lawsuit. He said: “I took my 16 years of experience and said I believed Gabby, based on the totality of the circumstances and based on what she seems physically capable of doing and based on what I’ve seen him do and act in the The way he was acting, I don’t think she assaulted him.”

Laundrie was reportedly described as “a strange, unhealthy fellow, and that was clear” by Pratt to Ratcliffe. He claimed that Laundrie “looked disgusting” and displayed “more red flags than a Chinese communist rally,” according to the lawsuit. “I thought he was an emotional threat to her. I thought he was a mental threat to her,” he allegedly said.

Finally, as part of a program for survivors of domestic abuse, Pratt and Robbins separated the couple for the night, leaving Petito in charge of the modified trailer and driving Laundrie to a motel on Main Street. This decision by Pratt and Robbins was strongly challenged by Ratcliffe.

Ratcliffe wrote, “Just because Gabby was determined to be the predominant aggressor in connection with this incident, does not mean that she was the long-term predominant aggressor in this relationship.” He added, however, that the police at the time lacked concrete evidence of this. But, the lawsuit claims that Pratt found “oddly consistent” accounts of Laundrie putting her hands on Petito’s face in testimony provided by the couple and the informant.

Gabby’s parents are suing for more than $50 million in damages. “Our daughter, Gabby, died as a result of intimate partner violence that could and should have been identified by law enforcement using the case fatality assessment. We believe that if the case fatality assessment had been used correctly in her situation, along with the recommended support and resources, Gabby would still be alive today,” said Gabby’s mother, Nichole Schmidt.Read More…..
