Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old travel blogger, was found murdered in September 2021 after going missing during a cross-country trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. Her death sparked widespread media attention, and Laundrie was later found dead, with authorities concluding he was responsible for her murder. In this episode, the hosts of Moms and Mysteries sit down with Nichole Schmidt, Gabby Petito's mother, to discuss the foundation she and Gabby's family started, the warning signs of unhealthy relationships, the current state of domestic violence worldwide, and essential resources available for victims and survivors.
Special thanks to Nichole Schmidt, Gabby’s mom, for sharing her story and the important work the Gabby Petito Foundation is doing to raise awareness about domestic violence. To learn more, visit gabbypetitofoundation.org.

This week we are discussing the mysterious disappearance of Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain. Born in Taiwan and raised in Seattle, Nikki's life took a serious turn when her tumultuous relationship with her husband, Tyler, escalated to severe abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite her forgiving nature and hopes for a better future, Nikki went missing in May 2024, with her abandoned truck later found in a remote area. As Nikki's family continues their search for answers, Tyler's inconsistent claims and legal troubles raise suspicions about his involvement in her disappearance.
Check-out the family's linktree with more information on Nikki and the family's search for her: https://linktr.ee/findnikki
