Laundrie has repeatedly refused to cooperate in the investigation regarding his missing girlfriend. The budding influencer’s family has accused Laundrie and his relatives of withholding valuable information that could lead to solving the puzzling case.
As the FBI is searching for Laundrie, new reports have surfaced that expose a dark side of Petito’s future hubby.
Petito’s friends spilled to the Daily Mail Laundrie showed signs of extreme jealousy and control issues. They also alleged he experienced “episodes” where he would hear voices and not sleep for extended periods of time.
Rose Davis described Laundrie as manipulative and controlling, detailing an incident where he allegedly stole Petito’s ID so she couldn’t get into any bars and had to stay home to be with him.
The pal also noted that Petito would often flee to her home to get away from Laundrie. “Gabby had to stay at my house a bunch of times because she just needed a breather and didn’t want to go home to him,” she explained.
The hunt for Laundrie is ongoing as authorities seek answers in the mysterious disappearance of Petito.
