Attorneys for the family of Gabby Petito announced on Monday that they intend to file a $50 million lawsuit against the Moab City Police Department, claiming that if its officers had been properly trained, their daughter would still be alive.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah —
According to the police report, officers believed the incident was better described"more accurately as a mental/emotional health ‘break’ than a domestic assault." Petito stayed in the van that evening and Laundrie stayed in a hotel. On top of the bodycam video, the family's attorneys said more proof of police negligence exists. They said the officers failed to recognize the danger Petito was in and refused to investigate, which led to the decision to file the lawsuit.
