Utah police called for an “incident” related to Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie 2 weeks before losing the report

NORTH PORT, Fla. – It’s been almost a month since Gabrielle Petito’s family first heard from her and now they want her boyfriend to start talking. Brian Laundrie is said to have left Gabby alone in the Grand Tetons during his cross-country adventure, but they will not explain why he returned to North Port, Florida, with his van.

On Tuesday night, Fox News obtained a report that Utah police were called to an “incident involving Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito about two weeks before she was last seen and a month before she was officially missing. “.

Moab police chief Bret Edge told Fox News on Tuesday: “Our officers responded to an incident involving Brian Laundrie and Gabrielle Petito on August 12, 2021, however, neither Brian nor Gabrielle went be the reporting party … Officers conducted an investigation and determined that there was insufficient evidence to justify criminal charges. “

Earlier Tuesday, Petito and Laundrie’s families released mourning statements, with the boy’s family saying a search is being done in Wyoming and hoping it will succeed.

Gabby’s family says the success of the searches may depend on what her boyfriend is willing to say.

While Gabrielle Petito’s colorful Instagram and Youtube post was dissected by police, her family asked – in black and white – how her boyfriend “stays in the background” when he’s the only person who knows where was Gabrielle last seen?

“Unless you’re the father or the mother, you can’t describe what that feeling is like because you’ve never felt it before. I pray that no one feels it anymore,” said Joseph Petito, Gabby’s father.

Joseph, as well as Gabrielle’s mother, Nicole Schmidt, reacted to a statement from Brian Laundrie’s family lawyer, saying that a search had been organized in or near Grand Tetons National Park and that “on behalf of the Laundrie family, we hope she is successful and that she is reunited with her family. ”

Meanwhile, North Port police towed the van, driven across the country by the couple, from a Laundrie family-owned home in Sarasota County this weekend, shortly after Schmidt reported Petito’s disappearance. .

Police say Brian was there, but refused to speak. Investigators returned to the neighborhood on Tuesday but did not enter the Laundry House.

“You had someone who was in constant communication with his family on a fairly regular basis and suddenly nothing. Suddenly the person he’s traveling with comes back here and he’s not there. That person doesn’t want to talk to us to this point.” , said Joshua Taylor, with the North Port Police Department.

Police say they know more than they can say, to protect the integrity of the investigation. However, North Port police say they have no evidence that any crime was committed.

Gabby’s family says they want answers from Brian about where he last saw her and why he apparently left her alone.

They say he had referred to her as the love of his life.

“What we need is to take Gabby home and find her. Please everyone can look at the picture, memorize her face and just look at her and let us know if you see anything,” Joseph Petito said.

Gabby’s family said she begs Brian to at least say if he looks in the right area.
