We would have went to the edge of the earth to find her.

We're not the same people we were before this happened. There was life before and life after.

Chapter 3: What went wrong during the police encounter?
Pennsylvania.
And they came back. And not too long after that, they left, beginning of July.
And when they set out on that adventure, what did you say to her before she left? Do you remember?
I was absolutely the luckiest one. I got to give her a hug goodbye. And it was the most amazing, squeezy hug. And she was crying. And I said, why are you crying? And she was like, I don't know. And I just was like, maybe she's just so excited. And then I looked at Brian and I said, you better take good care of her, keep her safe. And he was like, I will. This is very soft spoken, I will.
And I cherish that moment. That was the last time I had her in my arms. Did you trust that they would be OK together? I did. I did. Didn't want to worry. I knew she'd be okay. And... I mean, as a mom, I was worried a little bit. I said, you're going to be out on the road, the two of you alone. Just be careful. Be safe. Don't talk to strangers, all that stuff.
Gabby and Brian set off on their adventure with big dreams. She wants to be a vlogger and begins to document her trip on social media.

Chapter 4: What were the dynamics of Gabby and Brian's relationship?
Wyoming, the last place Gabby was seen, issued a report in 2020 that only 18% of indigenous women's missing cases got media coverage.
There's a phrase in Indian country that when a Native American woman goes missing, she disappears twice, once in life and once in the news.
Lori Ann Boffman, Wanda Faye Walker.
Why do we have greater compassion in our hearts for Gabby Petito than we do for these other women? We have to really dig deeply to ask ourselves that question.
It's on all of you, everyone that's in this room, to do that. And if you don't do that for other people that are missing, that's a shame.
Because it's not just Gabby that deserves that.
it is our belief and we want others to be inspired to share people um and try to be cognitive cognizant of those of those who do not look like you 600 000 people go missing a year half of them are people of color so you know what we have to share everybody meanwhile brian has now been missing for weeks the search going on
A lot of the public forms the opinion that Brian Laundrie has to be involved in Gabby Petito's disappearance. But police need actual evidence of criminal activity before they can make an arrest.
What would you say to them?
