I struggle to show the above picture. I struggle because it depicts a blissful relationship between Gabby Petito and her boyfriend Brian Laundrie.

Rose Davis has stated that Gabby would often stay at her (Rose’s) home, in order to escape Brian Laundrie. Rose has said that the couple would fight to the point that Gabby needed to be somewhere away from him. We all know that couples fight and argue. But according to Rose, this seemed a bit more than just your average squabble. She has stated that there were times when she believed Gabby was holding back information. And when she pressed Gabby, according to Rose, Gabby would not go there. Rose has also stated that as part of his controlling nature, Laundrie even went so far as to hide Gabby’s ID, so that she and Rose could not go have a drink at the lounge.

Red flag? I think so. And now as more facts emerge in Gabby’s case, it seems more apparent than ever that the couple's relationship was not the blissful piece of heaven that the photo above seems to…
