Gabby Petito's mother remembers daughter 1 year after her death: "You are my inspiration every single day"
NEW YORK -- The mother of Long Island native Gabby Petito is remembering her daughter one year after she was murdered.
Nichole Schmidt wrote in a tweet, "One year ago, your life was cut short. You are my inspiration every single day."
Investigators say 22-year-old Petito was killed by her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, during a cross-country trip in August 2021. Her body wasn't found for several weeks.
Laundrie later took his own life.
Petito's mother is asking people to light a candle Saturday night for victims who lost their lives to domestic violence.
