UNSOLVED: Gabby Petito Sep 23, 2021

Show notes

Like many of you, Paige and I have been following the news of Gabby Petito’s disappearance for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, as of late Sunday evening (that’s September 19th, 2021 for those listening at a later time), authorities and Gabby’s family have confirmed the discovery of Gabby’s body. We’re crushed and heartbroken about the news and can’t imagine the pain felt by all those who knew and loved her. However, there’s still questions that need answers until Gabby gets justice. Most prominently: “What happened to Gabby and why?”
