The provided sources offer a comprehensive look into the tragic case of Gabby Petito’s homicide by her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, examining the investigation, the disturbing details of their relationship, and the subsequent legislative impact. They document how the investigation quickly focused on Laundrie after he returned alone from their cross-country trip, leading to the FBI’s discovery of Petito’s remains and later, Laundrie’s body and his notebook confession, where he claimed responsibility for her death but framed it as a "merciful" act after an injury. Furthermore, the texts highlight a previous domestic disturbance incident caught on police bodycam footage in Utah, which a forensic psychiatrist assessed as showing signs of domestic abuse and Laundrie's "cold" and "calculating" demeanor. Finally, the sources reveal that the highly publicized case spurred new lethality assessment laws in Utah and proposed legislation in Florida aimed at improving law enforcement’s response to domestic violence situations.
