About this listen

In Episode 11 of T&E with the Tea, we begin Part 1 of the heartbreaking case of Gabby Petito. Before the headlines and hashtags, there was a love story, a van, and a dream to explore the world together. But behind the filtered Instagram posts was a darker reality.

In this episode, we dive into:
🚐 Gabby and Brian’s relationship history
📸 Their viral van life journey across the U.S.
🚓 The disturbing police bodycam footage and Utah traffic stop
😶 The red flags that were overlooked

This is more than a true crime case — it’s a sobering reminder of how much can be hidden behind a smile.
