The cops gave Brian Laundrie the benefit of the doubt
On August 12, 2021, a witness called 911 to point out that he had seen a man slap a woman on the side of the road to Moab, in Utah, after which they left and the van they were driving in the sidewalk .
The images of the Cam Body of the Moab City police meeting with Brian and Gabby that day were broadcast for weeks later during the investigation into the Gabby fate.
But it remains shocking to see Gabby assume responsibility for their physical altercation, telling the police that she had anxiety and “really bad knock” and Brian really stressed her but had tried to calm her.
Brian had stripes on his face from Gabby’s phone, he told, telling the police that he was trying to push her away as she was trying to get her keys to her.
When a cop asked Gabby how she had bruises on her face and arm, she kept saying “I don’t know”. But she had shouted on him, she said, and said to the police: “I guess I hit him first.”
An officer said to another, according to the images, that “from what she claims, she is the full attacker here”.
A cop then escorted Brian at a hotel known in the region as a refuge for victims of domestic violence, while Gabby received the keys to the van and said where, said an officer, she could get a hot shower market to “decompress, destroy a little bit.”
The couple was ordered to refrain from contacting, including SMS, until the next day, but they met that night and quickly headed for Salt Lake City.
