New Video Shows LI Native Gabby Petito Shortly Before Her Killing

LONG ISLAND, NY — New surveillance video shows the last time Long Islander Gabby Petito was seen alive in public.

Petito was with her killer, fiancé Brian Laundrie, shopping at a Whole Foods store in Wyoming on Aug. 27, 2021, Fox News Digital first reported.

Petito’s white Ford Transit van can be seen pulling into the parking lot around 2:11 p.m. that day, where the pair stay for about a minute. Laundrie gets out of the driver's side, walks to the back of the van and grabs a hat. Petito then steps out from around the passenger's side.

She clutches her arms together as the two walk toward the store, while Laundrie has his hands in his pockets.

Different angles show the pair as they peruse the store for about 15 minutes. There is no audio, according to Fox. In a clip featured on the outlet's website, the pair walks down an aisle, then separate. Laundrie retraces the way they came, and Petito can be seen near a display of what appears to be freezers, as she continues to clutch her arms and yawn as she rounds the corner into another aisle.

She later selects cheese near the coffee bar and places it into a canvas tote bag.

Next, the two leave the store, head back to the van and sit for about 20 minutes before Laundrie makes a left-hand turn onto Highway 89 leading to the Bridger-Teton National Forest campsite, where Petito was found about three weeks later, on Sept. 19, strangled to death.

Her family in August said that the day she is believed to have died is Aug. 27.

Petito and Laundrie were at Whole Foods a short time after they left the Merry Piglets Tex-Mex Restauranta after an argument between him and three female staffers, Fox reported.

Witnesses told Fox last year that Laundrie left very angry and returned to the restaurant four times before Petito apologized for the incident, and the restaurant's management later confirmed the pair were indeed there.

That was not the only incident involving the pair.

On Aug. 12, the two had a physical fight on Main Street in Moab, Utah, that was reported to police by a 911 caller. They were pulled over in a traffic stop a short time later in an incident that was caught by police bodycam.

Petito cries throughout the video.

Petito's parents are now suing the Moab City Police Department, claiming they improperly handled the traffic stop and should have done more to help her.

Her mother reported her missing Sept. 11 after she lost contact with her.

Petito and Laundrie traveled in her van across the country. He then drove her van to his parents' house in Florida, where they had been living. Multiple law enforcement agencies across the country undertook a massive investigation into her disappearance, while Laundrie refused to speak with them.

Laundrie later drove to a Florida swamp, where he shot himself. He left his confession in his notebook, claiming he strangled her out of mercy after she fell into a ravine.

Petito's mother recently tweeted that the call she received the day her daughter was found was the worst of their lives.

In the year since Petito's death, her family has continued to work with the foundation they founded in her honor to help the victims of domestic violence, often leaving touching tributes on social media on special days like valentine's day and the anniversary of her death.

Her brother TJ Schmidt in a recent Instagram post, shared that he visited the park where she died.

"This post is a tough one for me but visiting where my sister was taken from us was enlightening in many ways as painful as it was," he wrote. "But the signs of her watching over were everywhere."

Petito's father recently participated in a walk wearing red high heels to raise awareness for domestic violence.
