Just over a year ago, the world was captivated by the disappearance and murder ofGabby Petito.
But Petito downplays Laundrie’s actions, taking the blame instead.

She adds that, in her experience, once an abuser escalates to non-fatal strangulation, behavior never de-escalates.
Launderie tells officers he’d evengivenPetito time to work on “her ownlittlewebsite-blog” earlier that morning.
What the abuser is trying to do, she added, is control you completely.
