IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — In a forum at the College of Eastern Idaho, it was all ears as the parents of Gabby Petito and Dylan Rounds shared messages about the signs and symptoms of domestic violence.

"You know, domestic violence, it has a pattern, and patterns are predictable and what's predictable is preventable," said Nichole Schmidt, the mother of Gabby Petito and president of the Gabby Petito Foundation. "What happened to Gabby didn't have to happen, and so we're trying to prevent that from happening to others."
