it s gabby, but they say the cause remains pending final autopsy results so what happens now, doctor? well, what happens is clearly they have now ruled out that there was any kind of accidental fall. they have ruled out any kind of heart disease or brain disease that s natural. they have ruled out a suicidal kind of death. we re left just with homicide. so they declared it a homicide. thelu object like a rock. possibly even stabbing. but they don t want to make a final judgment, it appears, until they get more tests back, especially the toxicologist test to see how the death certificate should be worded. if there is any drugs present. but they already know that this
is a homicide. they know what the cause is. most probably, in this type of situation, from my experience, would be some kind of compression, pressure on the neck, strangulation, but flailing around and causing a blunt object to the head could be something also. so they will let us know eventually, but they know now for their own internal investigation. it s a matter of how to word the death certificate g. so we have a bit of a time lean i want to put on the screen, different times we know the family tweaksing to gabby. what happened with the boyfriend, where he went, where the van showed up but the last time the family says they talked to her was on a phone august 25. there was a text that was suspicious. they aren t sure if it was her. her body found on september 19, there is a lapse of time that s occurred. can you tell us anything about how that impacts to the ability
hit him, and, yes, so, you know, she conferred with her colleagues, and as we see in the body cam footage, gabby took the van and brian was taken to the hotel. shannon: randy, my late father was a law enforcement he said the domestic stuff was the worse because you re walk interesting a situation where there are inflamed emotions. it s hard sometimes for the victim to discern which person, which party, or if both are victims in some way or to wins the victim that they need to get out. randy what do you say about cases like this because everyone will want to monday morning quarterback, oh, they should have done more but there is only so much law enforcement can do in that moment? our absolutely right. i m glad that we re having this discussion because this is actually very critical type of discussion to have. law enforcement officers often get involved in these situations
where people s relationships are disintegrating or falling apart. they are trying to give the best advice that they possibly can. but of course, they are law enforcement officers but i want to talk about what the possible ramifications are to the officers who were involved in this situation. now that this situation has devolved into the worth possible set of circumstances, the death of gabby, they are going to be soul searching. they are going to be looking at, could i have done something different? could i have made a different decision in this which may have changed the course? and this is really critical stuff here, shannon, because we re talking about how law enforcement officers deal with these situations and how it affects their emotional and mental health. you know, my organization, the
jumped in the car and they drove off. police later asked laundrie why he had jags on his face. he claimed he was pushing gabby away because she had her cell phone in her hand. officers separated the couple for the night. then roughly three weeks later on september 1, laundrie drove back to his parent s florida home in the van the couple was traveling in but there was no sign of petito. laundrie has not spoken to police or given any details about what happened to gabby. all signs point to his daughter s boyfriend. there is no scenario where you clam up the way he has, that doesn t at least perception or my emotionally drained optics, come to the conclusion that you re the guilty party. shannon, a short while ago the city of northport, florida, received a statement saying they have received a significant amount of reports about laundrie
