Petito's disappearance," the statement from Bertolino said. "In my experience, intimate partners are often the first person law enforcement focuses their attention on in cases like this and the warning that 'any statement made will be used against you' is true, regardless of whether my client had anything to do with Ms. According to the police report, Laundrie said Petito struck him when she thought he was going to drive away in their van following an argument. Laundrie also told the officer of an "emotional strain" and ongoing arguments between her and Petito. She told the officer she had been arguing with Laundrie and that she was struggling with her mental health. He wrote in the report that she cried and breathed heavily during their conversation. When Robbins approached the van, he found Petito crying in the passenger seat. Then, the officer observed the van cross a double yellow line, switch lanes, and swerve to the right, colliding with the curb. The responding Officer Daniel Scott Robbins followed the van and eventually moved to pull it over, noting that the van was traveling 45 mph in a 15 mph zone, according to the police report. Officers from the Moab Police Department responded to a potential domestic violence incident between Petito and Laundrie on August 12 after a man identified as Christopher contacted police. “That is why we are here today, to keep Gaby Ramos’ face in the forefront, in hopes that this message will reach into the confines of where her murderer is hiding and someone will turn him in.On August 12, Petito and Laundrie got into a physical fight in Utah “We’re not here to tell you that it wasn’t important for Gabby Petito’s story to be told - we’re just saying we want equal, we want everyone to be equal and to be included,” Farmer said. The group also hopes to get in contact with Petito’s family to unite against domestic violence, and help get justice for both women, along with countless women of color who have been forgotten, said Brandy Farmer, who has been a domestic violence specialist for over 40 years. But in order to bring justice when it does happen, I think a Gaby alert would be great.” We want this to stop before anything happens. “Obviously, we don’t want this to happen. “We’re in preliminary talks with a representative here at the Utah State Capitol to see if we could implement a Gaby Alert,” Garcia said. Sergio Garcia, a friend of Gabriela’s who works with Rocio, said the group hopes to help prevent further instances of what happened in the cases of Petito and Sifuentes Castilla through the creation of “Gaby Alert,” a mechanism similar to an Amber Alert, but to help locate suspects of domestic violence. Speakers at the event urged the public to give the same attention to Gabriela’s death as they did to the death of Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old woman who had traveled through Utah with her partner, Brian Laundrie, before she was reported missing and later found dead. “But we are fighting for her, for my sister,” Rocio said. Rocio said she and her family are going through a really hard time, and that in the middle of the night she often relives what she witnessed - all while Gabriela’s suspected killer is “living a happy life,” avoiding charges. Saturday’s event was organized by Sifuentes Castilla’s sister, Rocio Sifuentes, who witnessed Gabriela’s shooting, according to charging documents. Though charges were filed against Sifuentes Castilla’s former fiance, he’s believed to have fled to Mexico.

Saturday afternoon, a group of around 30 friends, family and supporters gathered in a call-to-action in remembrance of the local Spanish radio host, who also went by the name Gaby Ramos. The song was created for women who are victims of violence, like Gabriela Sifuentes Castilla, who was shot and killed at her home on Oct.

While cars whizzed by on the street, the lyrics of “Canción sin miedo,” or “Song without fear,” reverberated through the courtyard of the Taylorsville Municipal Justice Court.
