Gabby Petito: The Girl Who Touched the World

She was young. She was in love. She was documenting the adventure of a lifetime. Then she disappeared.

In July 2021, Gabby Petito and her fiancé, Brian Laundrie left New York in a converted white van, determined to live the dream of van life. Their Instagram feed showed sunsets over the Great Sand Dunes, laughter in Zion National Park, and a couple deeply in love. Millions followed along, captivated by the girl with the anchor tattoo and the roadmap to a future she was building with her own hands.

By September, Gabby was dead. Brian had returned to Florida alone. And the world wanted answers.
