New investigation into the death of Gabby Petito

It was the case that gripped America. Last year, 22-year-old Gabby Petito went missing on a cross-country trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. When he returned home to Florida alone, red flags and accusations began to fly.

Her disappearance went viral on social media, capturing the attention of the internet and ultimately leading to the discovery of her body thousands of miles away in the Wyoming wilderness. 

Did their toxic relationship lead to her violent death? Police reveal details behind that now famous traffic stop, and HLN producers trek through miles of national forest, uncovering answers about Gabby’s final days.

HLN examines the heartrending case — interviewing Gabby's father, investigators and local experts to share new details about Petito’s tragic death.

The two-hour special Toxic Love: The Gabby Petito Tragedy premieres this Saturday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HLN.
