NEW YORK -- Gabby Petito's family is revealing more details about a police encounter involving Brian Laundrie two weeks before he strangled their daughter to death.
According to an amended lawsuit against the Moab Police Department filed by Petito's parents, Laundrie seemed like a "mental and emotional bully" to the police officer who responded to a domestic call weeks before Petito's death.
