Body worn camera video taken on August 12, 2021, shows the interaction between NPS law enforcement rangers and Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie in Arches National Park. The interaction was initiated by Moab Police Department, and they were the lead for this contact. NPS regularly works in partnership with neighboring law enforcement agencies, and NPS rangers assisted the Moab Police Department during this incident.

We are working on captioned and audio-described versions of these videos. They will be posted here as soon as they are finished.
