All Brian Laundrie’s red flags in Gabby Petito relationship, from violent fights & dark artwork, to ‘drug-fuelled rages’
BRIAN Laundrie displayed numerous red flags in his relationship with Gabby Petito - which surfaced as the couple traveled cross-country together.
The 22-year-old’s death was caused by manual strangulation and Laundrie is the only current person of interest in the vlogger’s homicide.
One of the last times was seen at a Wyoming restaurant called Merry Piglets.
Dr Ann Wolbert Burgess, who pioneered the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, told Fox News the argument between that witnesses observed at a Wyoming restaurant on August 27 may be the key
She said: "How she has to apologize for his behavior is something that's kind of characteristic, and this probably enrages him even more because he wants to appear in a certain way.”
"It wasn't necessarily between them, it was more so Gabby abruptly leaving the restaurant crying, and Brian was just evidently really upset, p***ed off, I would say.
"I would say Gabby was upset, he was angry, and he was just being very temperamental towards the restaurant staff."
Angelo described as "aggressive" and said that he left and returned to the restaurant around four times, continuing the conflict.

Dr Burgess said the argument happened "on the day or very close to the day that she is murdered".
The forensic nurse said the other significant incident, indicative of serious problems in t, was the domestic dispute police responded to 15 days earlier on August 12 in Moab, Utah.
‘DRUG-FUELLED RAGES’
Sleuths have trawled through the 23-year-old's Pinterest page and found what they claim are pictures of LSD tabs decorated with
They also claim Laundrie's posts give insight into his mental state with a folder named "Bleak" containing morbid imagery.
Social media users have subthread where a forensic psychologist answered questions about Gabby's case.
His “demonic artwork” features blood, knives and violence. Dr. Orna Guralnik, a psychologist from New York, exclusively told The Sun that “sociopaths will act on violent images.”
One such post, dated July 8, 2020, shows what appears to be a man wearing a wolf mask, sat in a chair and
In the image, which is in black and white, the monster has shackles around his ankles, feet, and neck.
A fourth work, this time in blacklight form, shows a red skeleton, with its arms in the air and mouth agape, looking up as red splatters - resembling blood - surround it.
‘S&M DYNAMICS’
Dr. Guralnik exclusively revealed to The Sun that the couple showed signs of S&M dynamics in their interaction with Moab police, which is common in abusive relationships.
The couple showed tendencies of sadomasochistic dynamics, which when one person enjoys inflicting physical or mental suffering on another person.
Guralnik said, “In this dynamic, one becomes more abusive and the other becomes passive and docile.
“The bond in those cases can be very, very strong.
“It’s like they’re locked in a certain kind of spell state between them and there are lots of cases of domestic abuse that follow that pattern.”
She proceeds to describe S&M as a pattern that makes it very hard for two individuals to separate as they are in a “fierce, perverse bond.”
Bodycam footage revealed that Gabby and Laundrie were immediately separated and questioned by cops.
Guralnik said the couple “clearly didn’t want to have the cops help them disentangle from each other.
