I would have missed my family to go do that.” The report, authored by Captain Brandon Ratcliffe of the Price City Police Department, located 120 miles northwest of Moab, did not lay blame on Officer Pratt or fellow responding officer Daniel Robbins, saying they “both believed at the time they were making the right decision based on the totality of the circumstances that were presented”. Utah police talk to Brian Laundrie after pulling over the van he was traveling in with his girlfriend, Gabrielle “Gabby” Petito “The independent agency’s investigative report finds that the officers who responded to the incident made several unintentional mistakes that stemmed from the fact that officers failed to cite Ms Petito for domestic violence,” the City of Moab said in a statement following the release of the report. “The Moab City Police Department has clear standards for officer conduct during a possible domestic dispute and our officers are trained to follow those standards and protocol,” the city stated.
