Midway through the set, Malone — an admitted Strings superfan — lit into a pyro-filled rendition of “Rockstar.” In between bursts of flame, the silhouette of Strings, with his acoustic guitar in hand, appeared…

The aforementioned 911 caller had told the dispatcher, per the audio released to news outlets, “We drove by and the gentleman was slapping the girl…They ran up and down the sidewalk. He proceeded to hit her, hopped in the car, and they drove off.” Another witness at the scene, identified only as Chris, wrote in a statement to police, per CNN, that the two were “talking aggressively at each other.” Chris said he thought he heard Petito say to Laundrie, “Why do you have to be so mean?” Hulls, the Park Service ranger and visitor and resource protection supervisor for Arches National Park,…
