Crime World Extra: The Murder Of Gabby Petito - the case that has rocked America

It’s a murder mystery that has divided America, pitted armchair sleuths against seasoned detectives and turned a spotlight on how the media treats victims of crime.

The case of 22-year-old tragic blogger Gabby Petito and her fiancé Brian Laundrie, who went missing weeks after returning home alone from their camper van road trip, has turned both into the internet sensations they dreamed of becoming - but at the ultimate price.

Nicola Tallant chats with senior news reporter Natalie Musumeci from Insider.com, who has been covering the extraordinary case which has captivated audiences worldwide.

She tells me about the lonely camp site where Gabby’s remains were found, the croc-infested Florida swamp where Laundrie’s parents claim he was last headed and the debate raging across the US about why their story is news.
