Welcome back to Mystery and Murder Analysis by Dr. Phil.

This is where we break down the twist and turns of some of the most fascinating and infamous cases that are in the news.

What we do is dive into the minds of both victims and perpetrators, and I mean a deep dive,

time interviewing, analyzing, breaking down what makes these people do what they do.

Now, on this episode, we're taking a close look at the heartbreaking case of Gabby Petito,

the young, beautiful, aspiring vlogger whose life was tragically cut short

by her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie.

Now, I connected with Gabby's family in 2021, first speaking with her father, Joe Petito,

when Gabby was missing, and later sitting down

with her entire family to figure out what was going on. And at the time that started,

she was missing, but we didn't know what her destiny was. Later, as you've probably seen recently, we did a three-part documentary on Netflix,

which is still there. They tell me it may be the most watched documentary of this kind in Netflix
