Summary

Gabby would have been 27 last month. 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. *** Laura continues to analyse Gabby’s social media for clues and highlights and some odd inconsistencies in the last posts on Gabby’s Instagram account. You can follow along on Gabby’s Instagram @gabspetito and Laura’s Instagram @crimeanalyst TikTok @crimeanalystpod and Twitter @thecrimeanalyst.

0:57.8	I'm looking at it again now to get a sense of Gabby, to remember her, to reflect on my analysis, and also some things that I didn't include.

1:22.2	I analysed and assessed her 98 posts on Instagram and all of her stories and highlights, every emoji and hashtag
