In this episode of The Compendium, we explore the heartbreaking story of Gabby Petito, a young woman whose dream of van life with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, turned into a nightmare. What started as an idyllic road trip across America quickly spiraled into one of the most publicized missing persons cases in recent history, with social media sleuths, police bodycam footage, and a nationwide search gripping the world.

With exclusive insights into the Gabby Petito disappearance timeline, the infamous police bodycam footage, and the Moab police handling of the case, we uncover the tragic missteps that may have cost Gabby her life. As Netflix prepares to release the Gabby Petito 2025 documentary, we look back at the investigation, the role of social media, and the lasting impact this case has had on domestic violence awareness.
