Brian Laundrie, the fiance of missing woman Gabby Petito, told a Moab Police Department officer during an Aug. 12 incident that Gabby tried to slap him because she thought "he was going to leave her in Moab without a ride," according to a police report obtained by FOX 13.
"The witness stated that when Brian got into the van, he saw what appeared to him as Gabrielle hitting Brian in the arm and then climbing through the driver’s window as if Brian had locked her out and she was trying to find a way in," a responding officer wrote in the report. Police were called on Aug. 12 after Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie allegedly got into an argument near Moonflower Community Cooperative in Moab, Utah.
