Days before Laundrie killed Petito, police officers pulled them over in Utah after witnesses reported seeing the couple fighting; at least one witness said that they saw Laundrie hit Petito. Police did not interview this witness and instead determined Petito to be the aggressor […] One of the two officers had a history of allegedly committing domestic violence, including allegations that he threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend when he worked at the police department in another Utah town.

In the fall of 2021, the disappearance of 22-year-old Gabby Petito grabbed national attention, particularly on social media, where true crime influencers reported drawing millions of views on their videos about her case. Shortly after Petito’s parents, Joe Petito and Nicole Schmidt, reported their daughter missing on Sept. 11, her body was found in a campground in Wyoming; a coroner found that Petito’s death was homicide by strangulation. Weeks later, Petito’s partner, Brian Laundrie, was found dead in Florida with a backpack that contained what the FBI characterized as a note “claiming responsibility” for Petito’s death.

Now, her family is speaking out, specifically about the attention her disappearance and death received. In an interview in People published on Sunday, Joe Petito describes the way he initially struggled with conversations about his daughter’s case, particularly claims that the reaction to her disappearance was rooted in “missing white woman syndrome”—that is, the selective, often outsized attention paid to missing person cases involving young, white, upper-middle-class women or girls. But he said he eventually came to understand the truth at the heart of the term: “There’s a hierarchy when it comes to missing person fliers being shared. Kids go first, then white women and then women of color.”

Wow, this is incredibly based of the dad and I respect the hell out of it.
