More than three years after Gabby Petito was strangled to death and her body dumped in a Wyoming national park by her fiancé-turned-killer, police released new body cam footage showing Brian Laundrie's parents turning officers away as they try to question them over her disappearance.
Gabby, 22, vanished during a cross-country trip with Laundrie, 23, in the summer of 2021. The couple were documenting their adventures on YouTube, but things turned sinister when authorities zeroed in on Laundrie and declared him – the last person to see her alive – a person of interest in her case.
After not hearing from her daughter for two weeks, Nichole Schmidt officially reported her missing Sept. 11, 2021. That same day, officers with the North Port Police Department in Florida visited the home of the Laundries, inquiring about Gabby's whereabouts.
"I'm not talking to anybody," Laundrie's father, Christopher Laundrie, told the officer at his front door, according to the body cam footage obtained by FOX News. "Brian is here. That's all I'm gonna say."
Christopher offers up his attorney's contact information before a sergeant attempts to convince the Laundries once more to offer up any information into Gabby's disappearance.
"We don't know anything," Christopher alleges in the video.
The sergeant is then heard informing the Laundries they would be towing Gabby's van that was parked in their driveway.
"This nightmare never ends," Schmidt said, speaking with the network Wednesday upon the release of the footage.
Gabby's body was found Sept. 19, 2021, in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, three to four weeks after it's believed she was killed at the hands of Laundrie.
Laundrie was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and his remains were discovered in October in a state reserve, according to investigators. He was never officially identified as a suspect before he died.
The investigation revealed the couple had a tumultuous relationship, according to letters penned by Gabby before she was killed.
"Yes, I can be a child, sometimes. I know," an undated letter in connection with the case read, in part, "but it's cause you give me this energy and I just love you too much."
"Like, so much, it hurts. So you in pain is killing me," wrote Gabby.
In the letter, Gabby begged for Laundrie to "stop crying and stop calling me names because we're a team and I'm here with you."
She admitted she was "frustrated there's not more" she could do.
Earlier this year, Gabby's parents reached a settlement over an emotional distress lawsuit with Laundrie's parents for an undisclosed amount, after accusing them of withholding information on Gabby's death.
