Only when pressed during an investigation by Price, Utah, Police Captain Brandon Ratcliffe did Price admit seeing red flags in Laundrie’s behavior, the court papers from Wednesday said.
Moab, Utah, cop Eric Pratt had responded to a 911 domestic incident call weeks before Gabby Petito was murdered, but did nothing.Laundrie “clearly has influence over [Petito’s] mentality that looked unsavory to me … he’s mentally messing with her,” Pratt said, according to excerpts from Ratcliffe’s interview transcripts included in the court papers.“I thought he was an emotional threat to her,” Pratt said. “I thought he was a mental threat to her.
Yet despite the warning signs, Pratt justified not arresting Laundrie or taking further steps, saying there’s no law against “being a s***ty boyfriend and gaslighting and taking advantage of people mentally and emotionally for your own reasons,” the filing alleges. Petito’s parents, Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt filed suit against the Moab City Police Department, alleging that had the cops properly responded, their daughter might be alive today.The pair are also suing Laundrie’s parents in Florida, alleging they withheld information about their daughter’s slaying., after she and Laundrie had been driving around the country in a van.Instagram

People need to pay attention if somebody lifts their hand to you they could eventually kill you get away from them as soon as possible
But if the math checks out, we as a society hate these kind of couples anyway.
If he was the villain… then all that matters to me now is that he’s dead. Was a good news day when his remains were found in the woods. 🍻
Glad she stuck with him
I’ve heard worse things about him.
Who would have thought that someone's murderer would be a 'mental and emotional' bully. Jeez. ChatGPT is pumping out articles.
