The city of Moab announced on September 28 an independent investigation will be conducted on officers' handling of the situation involving Petito and Laundrie. The new video adds to previously released bodycam footage showing the couple addressing the incident with police, which an officer described as a mental health crisis, not a domestic assault, according to a police report. "She gets really worked up, and when she does she swings, and she had her cellphone in her hand, so I was just trying to push her away," Laundrie said. The video then shows Laundrie recanting his side of the incident. "Well like, yeah he grabbed me with his nail, and I guess that’s why I definitely have a cut right here because I can feel it when I touch it, it burns," she said, while holding her jaw and crying. "Did he slap your face? Or what?" the officer responded. "I guess, but I hit him first," Petito said when asked by an officer if Laundrie hit her in the face. Officers pulled over the van Laundrie and Petito were traveling in on their cross-country trip and Petito told officers that she intially slapped Laundrie before he retaliated. The new footage stems from the incident on August 12 in Moab, Utah in which police made contact with Petito - whose remains were found on September 19 - and Laundrie - a person of interest in her death whose whereabouts are currently unknown.Ī bystander called the Moab Police Department and reported seeing a man hitting a woman.
