The family of Gabby Petito is suing the police in Moab, Utah, for negligence that resulted in the 22-year-old’s death last year. They are asking for 50 million dollars, or around 500 million kroner.
In the lawsuit, police officers “Palmer”, “Pratt” and Daniel Robbins are named. Ten other anonymous officers are also mentioned, according to the report CBS News.
It was last September that Petito was found dead at a park in the state of Wyoming. The 22-year-old had been on a trip with her boyfriend Brian Laundrie when she was found.
