117. The Petitos Sue the Laundries for Emotional Distress Following Gaby’s Murder

A Florida judge has allowed the parents of Gabby Petito to pursue
a lawsuit against Brian Laundrie’s parents over a statement that
allegedly gave the Gabby’s family false hope that their daughter
was still alive. Brian confessed to his diary that he killed
Gabby on Aug. 27, 2021, while the two were traveling in a van
through the western U.S.

According to Gabby’s parents, Brian sent text messages to Gabby’s
mother while posing as his fiancée after killing her. According
to the lawsuit, Brian returned alone to his parents’ home in
North Port, Florida, on Sept. 1 and is believed to have
vacationed with his parents at Fort DeSoto Park between Sept. 6
and Sept. 7. Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, Gabby’s parents,
further allege that the Laundries ignored their frantic requests
for information about their daughter; the Laundrie parents
allegedly went so far as to block the text messages from — and
the social media accounts of — Gabby’s parents. On this episode
of Prime Time Crime, Attorney Andrew Yaffa joins Katrina Daniel
for a deep dive into the Petito’s lawsuit.
