About this episode

Laura Richards continues her analysis of Gabby Petito's case, focusing on coercive control and the importance of recognizing warning signs to prevent future harm.

Gabby would have been 27 last week. This remastered series is to honour Gabby and ensure the warning signs of coercive control are understood. It’s the difference between life and death for so many. Determined to decode the patterns of coercive control and escalating risk, Laura deconstructs the behaviours that were visible - but too often minimised or misunderstood - with forensic precision. Join Laura for this remastered investigative series which provides news updates in the case regarding the Utah Supreme Court oral argument in the wrongful death lawsuit appeal, deeper analysis and vital learning to help prevent future harm. *** In this episode, Laura continues to profile Gabby Petito’s case starting with victimology and analysing Gabby’s social media. Laura highlights some emerging patterns and also explains our obsession with ‘stranger danger’ means that we are not having real and routine conversations about one of the biggest killers of girls and women and the red flags.. It’s time to change the script and take action if we want to save future lives. You won’t want to miss this. #GabbyPetito #HerNameWasGabbyPetito #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime…
