The fiance and killer of the domestic violence murder victim Gabby Petito desperately called his parents and told them that she was “gone” weeks before she was discovered dead – yet they later shared messages expressing hope that search efforts for her would end in success, her family has alleged.
Petito’s parents, Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, made the claim in a lawsuit that they are pursuing against Brian Laundrie’s family and their attorney in the latest chapter to a case that has generated international news headlines.
The Petitos, who amended the lawsuit with the new allegations on 30 November, have accused Laundrie’s parents as well as their lawyer of intentionally withholding information about their daughter’s murder, inflicting on them pain and emotional distress.
I thought it was already known because of discoveries related to finding his remains, etc, and formed the basis for them suing the parents to begin with, but maybe not.
It was known. It was widely reported that there were letters written between Brian and his parents, with his parents offering to help him hide the body. It was a very well publicized case and it’s weird that people forgot this massive detail.
Ok, yeah, that’s what I thought I remembered. Thanks for confirming.
