According to the bodycam footage, Petito was in tears and told authorites that she was frustrated with Laundrie. He told authorites that the scratches on his face and neck were because she was trying to get the keys of her van from him after he locked it and suggested they go for a walk to cool down. He said she "got me with her phone" in the process of reaching for the keys.
