Gabby Petito subject of new "American Murder" Netflix docuseries

Catch up quick: Petito, 22, was documenting a cross-country van trip in August 2021 with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, when a witness spotted the couple fighting in Moab. Police interviewed them and let them go after telling them to spend the night away from each other.

• About two weeks later, Petito stopped posting about her trip while they were in Wyoming. Laundrie later returned to his family's Florida home in her van, and her parents reported her missing.

Context: The search for Petito was closely followed by fans and amateur detectives nationwide. Laundrie was deemed a "person of interest" in her disappearance.

• Investigators found her body in a Wyoming national forest about a month after she was last seen and determined she'd been strangled.
• Laundrie died from suicide in a nature reserve in Florida; FBI agents found writings in which he admitted to killing Petito.

The latest: Petito's family sued Moab police, alleging they did not do enough to protect her from Laundrie, but a judge dismissed the case in November.

• The family has appealed the ruling.
