Rose Davis, best friend of Gabby Petito, played a crucial role in the investigation following Gabby’s mysterious disappearance and tragic death. Davis described Brian Laundrie, Gabby’s fiancé and killer, as a controlling and manipulative boyfriend with jealousy issues. She even feared for her own safety when Laundrie went missing, believing he might come looking for her due to their strained friendship.
Davis informed the authorities that Laundrie was skilled at surviving in nature alone, as he had previously spent months living in the rugged Appalachians by himself. She strongly believed that Laundrie was on the run and hiding in the Florida swamps, as he did not have friends to help him. Davis provided valuable information to the police and FBI, aiding in the search for the fugitive.
Following a thorough investigation, it was confirmed that Gabby Petito was strangled to death by Laundrie. Her body was found in Grant Teton National Park, where she had been camping with Laundrie before her disappearance. The tragic discovery left Gabby’s family devastated, leading them to establish the Gabby Petito Foundation in her honor.
Despite the heartbreaking loss, Gabby’s family remains committed to seeking justice for their daughter, as they continue to raise awareness through the foundation. The impact of Gabby’s story has touched the world, with her father urging women in toxic relationships to leave now, sending a powerful message of empowerment and solidarity to those in similar situations.
