Frightening 911 call about Gabby Petito revealed
Details of the 911 call made to police in Utah regarding a domestic dispute between Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie have emerged.
The caller told emergency responder that he had seen a man "slapping" a woman in Moab, Utah on August 12th.
“We drove by and the gentleman was slapping the girl,” the caller said.
The dispatcher responded, “He was slapping her?”
“Yes, and then we stopped. They ran up and down the sidewalk, he proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car and they drove off,” the man replied.
The caller informed the authorities that the couple has been driving in a white van with Florida license plates.

The disturbing phone call seems to contradict the report by the police in which Gabby was depicted as the aggressor in the situation.
“The male tried to create distance by telling Gabbie [sic] to go take a walk to calm down, she didn’t want to be separated from the male, and began slapping him,” the report said.
“He grabbed her face and pushed her back as she pressed upon him and the van, he tried to lock her out and succeeded except for his driver’s door, she opened that and forced her way over him and into the vehicle before it drove off,” the report continued.
A police officer wrote, “it was reported the male had been observed to have assaulted the female,” but later determined that “no one reported that the male struck the female.”
Gabby was officially reported missing by her family on September 11th after her fiancé Brian returned home to Florida 10 days earlier without her.
The 911 call comes just one day after Gabby's body was found in the Grand Teton National Part in the US state of Wyoming, where authorities has been looking for the missing 22-year-old.
The cause of death is yet to be determined, as police investigations are still on going.
