(Gray News) – The story of Gabby Petito’s tragic murder is coming to Netflix.
The streaming service announced that “American Murder: Gabby Petito” premieres Feb. 17.
“In 2021, Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie went on a four-month road trip across the United States documenting their van life on social media. Only one of them returned,” Netflix wrote alongside the trailer on Facebook.
Petito’s story captured nationwide attention when she went missing during her trip with Laurie, her fiancé, in August 2021.
Her remains were later found, and a manhunt for Laurie ensued. He also was later found dead, alongside a suicide note that admitted to killing his fiancé.
Joseph Petito, Gabby Petito’s father, has since used his platform to advocate for greater attention to missing persons cases involving marginalized groups. He also started the Gabby Petito Foundation.
