When a Utah officer turned his cruiser’s lights on to stop the white 2012 Ford Transit van Aug. 12, Petito grabbed Laundrie’s arm to get his attention and caused the vehicle to swerve into the curb before it stopped, according to a police report. Police documented that Petito was “crying uncontrollably” and she could not “stop crying, breathing heavily, or compose a sentence without needing to wipe away tears, wipe her nose, or rub her knees with her hands.”
