Gabi's last selfie: blood ignored in Moab

The last selfie of Gabi: ignored blood in Moab: The murder of Gabrielle Petito A young woman disappears during a road trip in a white van. Police had her in front of them with blood on her face, crying, apologizing for "being in a bad mood" - and they let her go. How did they overlook such an obvious domestic violence scene? In this episode, we explore the fatal contradictions that allowed the killer to escape: Gabi's selfie with blood under her left eye versus the police conclusion that she was the aggressor, the text messages written by someone else after her disappearance, and the letter from the killer's mother mentioning shovels and burials. Every piece of forensic evidence points to a truth that authorities took too long to recognize.
