TERRIFYING surveillance footage shows Gabby Petito and her fiance shopping in a grocery store on the day before she was killed.
On August 27, 2021, the 22-year-old vlogger was observed walking into a Whole Foods in Jackson, Wyoming with Brian Laundrie while holding her arms folded.

On that same day, the two got into an argument at the Merry Piglets Tex-Mex restaurant that bystanders at the scene described as “explosive.”
According to New Orleans visitor Nina Celie Angelo, who was dining there, Petito expressed regret for Laundrie’s ostensibly violent behaviour.
The duo was seen coming into the parking lot on surveillance video before Laundrie seemed to slam the door and open the trunk to retrieve a hat.
Laundrie, who was sporting a hat and sunglasses, seemed to be leading the group as they entered the store.
With her arms crossed, Gabby can be seen following closely behind.
The couple was caught on camera shopping for nearly 15 minutes in the grocery store.
Although there is no audio in the video, Gabby can be seen before they left purchasing some cheese from a coffee shop nearby.
They spent about 20 minutes in the parking lot before turning onto Highway 89 to head to the campsite in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, where Gabby’s remains would eventually be discovered nearly three weeks later.
On September 19, her body was discovered in a desolate area of Wyoming.
Coroners determined that she was strangled to death.
TJ Schmidt, Petito’s brother, visited the scene around a year after her body was discovered and relayed unsettling images.
According to WABC, the Petito family claimed in a lawsuit filed in March of this year that Laundrie murdered Gabby on August 27, the day she was last seen.
Just weeks before she vanished, Laundrie and Gabby got into a marital disagreement that appeared to be between them.
Officers responding to a 911 call regarding a domestic violence incident involving Petito and Laundrie outside of a grocery store on August 12 may be seen in a video taken by the Moab City Police Department in Utah.
When Petito spoke to the officer, she was in tears “Just this morning, we were fighting. a few private matters.”
It had, according to Laundrie, been a “long day.”
As Petito was told to exit the car, her partner remained inside.
She attempted to explain the topic of their argument while clearly upset.
She apologised to Laundrie while explaining that she had OCD.
‘BAD MOOD VIBES’
“Not like rude toward him, I think my vibe is like in a terrible mood and I said I’m sorry I’m in a bad mood I’m stressed I had so much work,” the upset YouTuber claimed.
Patti Wood, a body language expert, said The U.S. Sun examined the video and saw that Petito was massaging her neck.
“That is a comfort cue, but I believe it’s a mirroring motion of where she felt exposed on her neck,” she remarked.
“People tend to show a huge concern and vulnerability of safety if they touch near the carotid artery, the sensitive portion of the neck.”
She added that Laundrie’s interactions with law enforcement officials were “charming.”
