Late in August 2021, the disappearance of 22-year-old Gabrielle Venora ‘Gabby’ Petito captivated the globe. Numerous speculations and suspicions surrounded the investigation. We now know that the mystery would tragically come to an end on September 19, 2021, when her loved one, Brian Laundrie, would discover her remains.
He chose to kill himself by shooting himself in the head with a gun instead of going to jail for killing her. However, the case highlighted the international effort to uncover the mystery.
The three-part Paramount Plus series ‘The Disappearance of Gabby Petito’ investigates all aspects of the case in depth. And doing so provides a comprehensive overview of the case, from its terrible beginning to its end.
THE SEQUENCE
The series consists of three segments. And each of them is equally captivating. The portrayal of Gabby accurately captures her essence.
She is a youthful, free-spirited woman who enters adulthood with hopes and dreams. The show features Gabby’s social media videos from her fateful trip with her boyfriend, in addition to her home videos. We also see clips from the infamous police bodycam tape showing Gabby crying to officers while her boyfriend laughs and jokes with them.
We want to get Gabby out of the physical situation she is in. We believe that if we could, we would reach through the screen to aid her. We know how the story will conclude. In addition, our powerlessness contributes to the emotional impact of what we observe.
INTERVIEWS
We conduct interviews with Gabby’s dad and stepmother. Additionally, the emotion of what they say draws us in. Every time they speak about their daughter, we feel compassion for them. At times, it’s hard not to cry ourselves.
The show is an emotionally intense series from the beginning. A portion of it is tragic. Similarly, a part of it gets us incredibly irritated.
The news footage accompanying the series and the interviews with the numerous news reporters who covered it provoke intense hatred towards particular individuals.
Could you please explain why the authorities chose not to arrest Brian? It is one thing to invoke the Fifth Amendment, but the evidence was undeniably present.
Could you please share why Brian’s parents are not discussing the situation with their son? Why did they go to such tremendous efforts to protect him? Why did they act this way? We immediately suspect them of aiding and abetting their son in his crime. Their acts appear shady.
But what are they trying to conceal? Could you please explain why they drove their son’s automobile back from Myakkaha Creek Environmental Park and waited several days before reporting him missing? It amounts to an attempt to conceal their son’s guilt.
And it makes them guilty in everyone’s eyes. They claim that they will not speak on the advice of an attorney. Our suspicions point to an entirely different conclusion.
INTERNET SLEUTHS
We also heard from internet operatives who attempted to assist with the inquiry. Some of the presented theories were utterly absurd.
However, others were on target. Some even share the advice they received from various sources and explain why it didn’t work out as expected.
All three episodes leave no detail unexplored. These detectives captivate us as they describe their work on the actual case.
It shines a light on them and the good they can do. You can’t trust all of them. Some even pass off conjecture as fact. However, the ones we encounter throughout the series are the exception.
These individuals are among the most intelligent and trustworthy. And they could be useful to police investigations.
THE DETECTION
We all anticipate its arrival. We already know the outcome of this case. However, nothing can adequately prepare you for the discovery of Gabby’s skeletal remains. Even though we know she will not be found alive, we still hope that she will be discovered.
However, the news of her body’s discovery hit them hard. How did her parents react when they heard the news? Our tears reflect their emotions. It is an emotionally intense scene in a series filled with them.
When the autopsy shows that Gabby Petito died from blunt force trauma to her head and neck and being strangled by hand, we are heartbroken.
A young woman who had her entire life ahead of her has been cruelly stolen from our earth. However, rage and disgust will soon replace our sadness and anguish.
DISCOVERY OF BRIAN LAUNDRIES’S BODY
On October 20, 2021, the bones of Brian Laundrie were found in the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.
The area containing his body and some of his belongings had recently experienced flooding. He kills himself by shooting himself in the head once.
We are disappointed that he evaded the justice he deserved. He used deception to avoid paying for Gabby’s death. His demise brings a terrible tale to a tragic conclusion. Still, he has heard nothing from his family. This alone is already dubious and puzzling.
In a note, Brian revealed that he killed Gabby out of compassion after she fell and hit her head. And he claimed he chose to die because he could not live without her. It also turns out that police and forensic investigators didn’t believe this story.
The proof completely disproves Brian’s story. It is a lie intended to justify his actions. To attempt to explain the activities he committed towards Gabby. And we, like the police and investigators, immediately recognise this as a falsehood when given to us.
VERDICT
The series will test the viewer’s emotional endurance. It will induce both torrents of tears and bouts of rage. The hostility is explicitly directed at Brian Laundrie and his parents.
Why wouldn’t they report their son driving Gabby’s van to their residence without her? Could they please enquire about her whereabouts? Something does not make sense.
Furthermore, their silence is deafening. We are furious and want to join the crowd that camped outside the Laundrie residence, demanding answers.
But we also feel pain and devastation for Gabby and her family, reflecting our fury. They lost their daughter in the most brutal manner imaginable.
Their delight in such a daughter compels us to reach out to them. We must embrace them and empathise with their suffering. We cannot. But we can all mourn the loss of someone of Gabby Petito’s calibre.
FINAL REMARKS
The creators of The Disappearance Of Gabby Petito meticulously narrated the complete story of Gabby Petito’s disappearance and death, encompassing the emotional aspects. We must observe and experience this. We will feel exhausted after the series.
All credit for the work goes to the designers. We have received this story excellently. With evidence. In addition to hearing everything from those involved, there is more to be done.
It is delivered thoughtfully and sincerely, which merits praise. It tells the whole story and memorialises Gabby and her short life.
The conclusion of Paramount Plus’s heartbreaking, passionate, and riveting documentary will leave viewers in tears. Ultimately, it provides a rewarding yet unsettling experience.
