I'm glad the Petito family are pursuing this. They need to know; the Laundries need to come clean! I suspect they DID know, otherwise they wouldn't have got a lawyer involved so early! As a parent, I'd know if my child was hiding something from me.
@@jemsmom97 GABBY’s Parents have already got her Possessions back. They got them when her Parents went to the FBI headquarters for that Meeting. The Dirty Laundries were there also from what I have heard.
Of course the weirdo,s parents knew . How coud anyone even question that? Did they say , "hey brian , thats Gabby,s van , so where,s Gabby . J.B , thier not going to reach out to you . You no that . And him calling the grandfather Stan, seems like an embedded confession 2 me .
Lawyers always say call a lawyer first, and then guilty or innocent they'll say to stfu. It makes anyone look guilty and in my opinion hinders the truth from being known. The reasons the lawyers give is that anything you say can be twisted and used. And in court that's absolutely true. Bcuz the immoral will be defending and prosecuting. Most ordinary people can't fathom the levels to which a lawyer will stoop on either side. I'm not anti lawyer but I am anti immoral twisting and that's a lake attorneys have often dipped.
There are FBI offices in every major city in the US. They are called "field offices". So no reason to get snarky. I don't know what the Petito family.was given but to back the post you are replying to, it was released on media that the all parents agreed on who belonged to what. What the FBI and other law enforcement agencies kept as part of their evidence we don't know. I wonder if the real reason for this lawsuit is to push for the revelation of exactly what was said in the journal etc found near Brian's remains. Because even if his parents knew before he was found dead 1) how would they prove that and 2) how is that grounds for litigation? Gabby was dead by the time Brian got home so they can't say if they had revealed any information it might have saved her life. I can see why the LEOs might want to charge them with obstruction but apparently they aren't going to. I can't see how it's grounds for a lawsuit and it won't bring her back. I have to believe there is some reason other than just vengeance.
@@ann-marieblaney2552 On what legal charge? The Crumbleys are responsible for their minor childs behavior. Brian was a full adult of 23 and his parents are not legally responsible for his behavior.
@@sr2291 they're not responsible for his behaviour but they're responsible for their own behaviour in all of this, which wasn't exactly stellar. They're not being charged with murder, they're being sued for causing pain and suffering by their behaviour, i.e. avoiding, blocking Gabby's parents when they were trying to contact them to get answers; lawyering up, most likely aiding and abetting a murderer. So please.
@@inthestepsoftheromanovs5750 What kind of pain and suffering is it when Gabbys parents called/texted and threatened them? The Petitos are after money and have been from the beginning. th-cam.com/video/YfA1aZMUwBI/w-d-xo.html
@@inthestepsoftheromanovs5750 Also the pain and suffering of the Laundies from the Petitos going to the media publically trashing them so many times that a violent mob formed outside of their home harassing them for weeks. In the mean time the Petitos lived in peace and quiet.
Manchitas - Yup, everyone knew. At the very least, this might force them to tell what he told them (even if he lied to them before he went "hiking"), her parents would have an answer.
The pain & suffering of Gabby’s family DID NOT HAVE TO GO ON AS LONG AS IT DID! The parents knew before he got home! It’s so very sad! RIP GABBY, you were so loved by so many! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@ Wanda 89, Thanks I didn’t think saying Gabby was loved by so many needed a encyclopedic explanation. I think everybody was praying she would be found safe.I think all following the case of this young lady said prayers for her safe return. Thanks for your reply cuz it was much nicer than mine would have been….♥️
Ya, but the thing is ''accessory after the crime'' ain't illegal in Florida when it comes to parents. It's DUMB, but .. they are aloud to help him escape.. it seems. It's not a crime, it's legal. That's the weird part.
#HeyJB I think everyone of us have thought at one time or another that Brian's parents knew what happened. The camping trip I believe was sort of a last family get together for them.
It was to hatch a plan for his escape. I still want to know how the hell they snuck him out of the house. LE let the petitos down from the start. They botched it all. I’d be suing them too !!!
I am so glad Gabby’s parents are suing the Laundries. They are saying the Laundries knew that Brian killed Gabby but would not say anything. I cannot understand why they were not charged with obstruction of Justice.
It makes a lot of sense now that the FBI filed the bank fraud charges against Brian. If they believed the Laundries were going to help Brian escape overseas, it becomes a crime to do so once he is wanted for a crime.
@Peace Maker do you know this 100%, backed with evidence as you make a statement using a question mark, so are you asking a question? I am genuinely curious. Thanks
This is both true and false, the plaintiff has the burden and obligation to prove the case with stronger evidence than the defendant has. This is called the “preponderance of the evidence” standard. If the Petitos have strictly hearsay and circumstantial evidence even a jury would not rule in their favor. Personally I see why they want a jury trial versus a bench trial, judges are much harder to please than a jury specifically in civil trials.
I believe if the Plaintiffs' can convince that jury that the greater preponderance of the evidence proves what is alleged in their complaint, they win. I believe a jury trial was a smart move, every parent can sympathize with the Plaintiffs'.
@@Denise-Ann It has nothing to do with the jury sympathizing with the Petitos that is not what the jury is suppose to do. The jury is simiply suppose to be unbiased and use the evidence to come up with a verdict, do they have a better chance with a jury over a bench trial, yes but it is still going to be hard to win this civil suit.
@@theguy81642 Emotion should not enter into the greater weight of the evidence but no one can turn on the full spectrum of emotions that come from being a parent and sympathizing with parents that lost their 22 year old. This would be the same scenario you would use peremptory challenges for. If you are defending a murderer and a potential juror has had a family member murdered, you would want them removed. Those jurors will absolutely have emotions about this. We hope this does not factor into their decision but having been on a jury many many years ago, emotions are a topic in that jury room. I believe it will be in this case.

Why indeed? The usual the law always seems to favour the perpetrators and never the victims! Complete judiciary system needs a complete overhaul so things like this must NEVER happen again!
The Laundrie's were absolutely cruel to the Petito's/Schmidt's. I'm so happy to hear that they are going after them. I believe that the Laundrie's did know that their son had murdered Gabby and I pray that this can be proven. I think that the Laundrie's need to get jail time and fines for what they did to Gabby's family. If we don't punish wrongdoing like this it will continue to occur. I don't think that I would have been able to handle this as gracefully as they have, I can't imagine their pain and suffering. I have 2 children and 3 grandchildren, and if something happened to one of them I would have fallen completely apart and handled it very badly. It is the Laundrie's cruelty that really gets to me here. They should rot in hell for that.
I would’ve been at the house in a heartbeat and broken down their door and dragged them out and beaten them on their own front lawn if it was my child that had been murdered
Their cruelty is even worse, in that she lived in their home and was engaged to their son! It's outrageous! The absence of empathy for her parents, in fact the opposite of empathy, shows their antisocial characters. I certainly hope her family receives answers and justice.

Unfortunately there’s not enough money in the world from any lawsuit that can make up for what the Laundries unnecessarily put Gabby’s family through ..., it was beyond unconscionable & morally deprived. The Laundries only match for friends are the parents of Ethan Crumbley.
I don't think it's about the money, Petitos want to expose Laundries, for what pain & suffering they went thru . What especially got me , is Roberta blocked Nicole, on cell& FB !! Some were saying Nicole didn't try hard enough to get. in touch w/ them , so now know she couldn't !!
@@Memow-pk1ng Yes Memow - I think you are right on the money about this in big part being fully outing the dreadful Laundries .... & also getting info & answers out to the public that hasn’t been released .... no stone left unturned on the Laundrie side. They will have full court press coverage, no hiding out in their house.
@@Memow-pk1ng I believe the Petitos had already started calling, texting & emailing etc.the Laundries & imo they didn't want to deal with answering them so before they're " camping" trip they blocked the Petitos.
Some prison time for sure .... for knowing and not helping the family get Gabby back asap but allowing them to wonder and her body just laying there for 20 days😢💔
Is there evidence that the Laudries knew that Brian killed Gabby? That's a sticking point that would blow this case wide open if there's evidence that his parents knew what he did and deliberately covered it up. Since the Laudries haven't commented, we don't know anything for sure, yet
@@loricucchiara4948 sadly in those 20 days animals got to Gabby's body. Plus the parents not knowing what was the fate of their daughter. The Laundrie's can burn in he'll.
Luckily it's a jury trial & most likely at least half-3/4 will agree. It's obvious. is there absolute proof I don't know however juries can do the unexpected
@@Lisa-hc3uq JB from the TV News station said , the Laundries confessed that Brian called them the day after he killed Gabby, to let them know. It was after that, that The Laundries retained attorney Bertalino.
She was gorgeous and full of life, sharing her adventure with the world. Her life was ahead of her, who knows what she would have created and what we were all robbed of. No hair on her head should have been harmed for any reason, let alone from her fiance. It's despicable what he did and it's despicable the way his parents treated hers. Brian and his parents are cut from the same cloth; evil people who need to be punished, for their gross immoral behaviour which is reprehensible to society. My heart extends to her family and those who were truly close to her as obviously the Laundries were not.
This is important, Why was Brian in a Mental Hospital, in New Jersey ?? A person he knew, mentioned this in a text, sometime ago ! The court should be aware of this info, if there is truth to any of it ?
@@jeanjackson2324 they probably know of him being in the Hosp, but it was probably not Admissible in court for Legal reasons, such as the ,”HIPPA LAW.”
So... this is a tad gas lighting. Let me explain why. Gabby is the one who was charged as the abuser. Its possible that Brian reacted as any abused partner would. Does this sound reprehensible? It IS a possibility. Facts are that we just don't know the entire dynamic. And similarly, this family, as much as they are hurting, its coming out in an unhealthy anger. Since they can't blame Brian, they are going after his parents. Its just wrong. Like so much else here, WE do not know so, so, so many facts. And Brians family is suffering already too, on a whole other level. I hope this lawsuit is tossed because its emotionally based, inappropriately in my estimation, and not legally based. The Laundrie Family is not liable for anything that I can see.
#HeyJB I keep going back to the text message Brian deceivingly sent to Gabbys parents saying “No service in Yosemite”. Can’t help but also assume Brian was trying to avoid the last known area of Gabby and send that in hopes that the focus of any search would be far from where they actually were.
The day he drove her van home should have been a RED FLAG FIR THE LAUNDRIES. They did nothing l. They did not call her parents and would not answer her parents calls. They are guilty all the way
Wives, lawyers, priests, and psychologists I believe are exempt from prosecution; otherwise everyone else would be. There's a case in Florida where a family hid a man (after killing his pregnant girlfriend and a female officer) and they were sent to prison, so I would think the Laundries would as guilty as they were.
I'm curious if Brian's parents could have been charged with obstruction of justice. They did EVERYTHING in their power to protect the murdering monster THEY CREATED.
The entire story of the camping trip with Brian and Cassie smelled dreadfully from the beginning. The cruelty is beyond belief. I’m thrilled that the suit has been filed. I’m praying justice prevails. A jury will find them GUiLTY.
@@doglady9334 aiding and abetting, & any charges involving concealment, hindrance, knowledge etc. I'm not LE or a lawyer so I don't know the specific names of the charges
Not only would the Laundries not help Gabby's family where to find Gabby, but the Laundries wouldn't even tell LE where her body was. And that was before Brian went missing.
Ironically, if the Laundries had turned him in immediately when he returned in her van without her, they would probably still have their son. Two lives senselessly lost way too soon.
Did you ever wonder if they were ready to be rid of him? I’m sure they were tired of putting up with him and made life miserable for them all. I’m sure they didn’t really mind if he died. They just didn’t want him to go to jail and suffer! They protected him from torture there!!
Gabby lived with Brian and his parents for 2 years and Brian confessed to killing her to them and their attorney stated that the Laundries "... have no OBLIGATION to Law Enforcement... or the Petito family". This is why MORAL OBLIGATION comes into play and the lawsuit needs to proceed. ⚖
We were all told about the blunt force trauma to the head and neck in the posted coroner affidavit. We also heard John Walsh slip information prior to the report release where he said she was beaten, will never forget those words.
R & L , even while writing his finally note Brian lied about what really happen he thought that's what she wanted , to be murdered beaten her air supply cut off , Brian may you spend eternity with Satan for wh as t you've done.He clearly was a jealous control freak with mommy/women issues
As a mother I sit here wondering if this was my child then what would I feel was justice. I don’t know that answer because Brian is dead. I’ve always felt his family helped his hinder the investigation into gabbys disappearance - I believe they helped him clean the van - ( there’s pictures) I believe he told them what he had done and I believe they advised him to stone wall via a lawyer. I also believe he’s no longer living because his parents helped him avoid talking to the police which have lead to his arrest and sui watch would have been in place. So they have to live with that on them and gabby. So idk what is enough for them. Having the world know what they knew and did would be some little form of justice but nothing will bring their daughter back and nobody is serving a single day in jail. It’s awful. I can’t imagine and I feel horrible for her family.
Well stated. Evidence exists as does the coinciding behavior/s oh and meanwhile tax dollars were being burned up over their lies, deception and over all antics. Bottom feeding scum sludgsh excuses for humanity.
Brian’s mom blocked Gabby’s mother, calling her to find out what was going on ? She blocked her….. His parents think that we as the public forgot, details : Brian’s friend in New York worked with Him, at some kind of Garden Center, and Brian was fired due to his temper tantrum…. Also, was stated : That Brian was a patient in a Mental Hospital, in New Jersey, years ago ! Now, those are public records, they should be searched out, and do some research on his Past ! Just why was Brian in a Mental Hospital, His parents have to have knowledge of that Record ! His mother worked for an attorney years ago ? Something to that effect ? His parents have covered up everything very well !
@@jeanjackson2324 His prior mental health records are not public info. HIPAA still applies. Are you saying that because someone's been in a mental hospital before that people are required to expect they will murder someone? That's a terribly unfair stigma you're putting on millions of Americans. Look at the stats on what percentage of Americans have mental illness.
I dont think the parents liked each other so that was why they were blocked.i blocked my daughters mothering law because she was a pest her son abused my daughter and I didnt want to hear her excuses for him hurting her and endangering my grandkids.The weirdo was drunk and spelled out I love you with hypodermic needles used to inseminate hogs at a hog farm.Discusting in itself I blocked them all He also pulled a gun on her.
I have said from the beginning, the biggest red flag about this tragedy was the fact the Laundrie's ignored calls/texts from Gabby's family during those first couple of weeks. The ONLY reason they would do that is because they knew. There is no other reason they would have not communicated with Gabby's family and try and help in any way they could, during that time to try and find Gabby.
It's incredible how we all just knew who Gabby was without ever knowing her in person. Her spirit is something exceptional really. You just don't encounter that every day. We all knew right away what we needed to do for her.
@@RyanTaylor1223 I know them both. In my younger years, reading people was important for survival. I watched the police video. Brian reminds me of addicts I used to know. Those Utah cops are innocent guys, particularly the rookie. Gabby was an unjaded soul who had not been run through real good..women that have are dangerous and malicious. This world is so f-ed up I can tell you Gabby is worth putting my life on the line for. Not even necessarily for her but so I can maintain and fight for meaning in what I've seen can be a dark world.
Innocent or guilty always get a lawyer and never speak to police on your own bc if you are innocent it’s to protect you. I’m not taking the laundries side I’m just telling you this just in case you are ever involved in something even if you are innocent get a lawyer… ask any police officer or judge or your district attorney they will all say it is the smart thing to do!!! So JFYK (just for your knowledge) (trying to be cool like the young kids 😝 I’m old haha) but always get a lawyer I speak from experience… if you ever look me up in case search under my maiden name trust me from personal experience always get a lawyer xoxo hope u never need one
@@kimberlyel82 Yes, the media and Hollywood have done a great job of creating the myth that if you lawyer up it can only because you're guilty. Huge disservice to Americans to perpetuate that stigma. The system is supposed to play by the Constitution but loves to punish you for exercising your Constitutional rights.
@@kimberlyel82 I’m not giving legal advice, and I’m not suggesting that anyone should choose against it. My late sister was an attorney. My comment was simply an observation on the timeline and the way events unfolded in light of the fact that Laundrie confessed to killing Petito in his journal before he committed suicide.
Yes I agree they need to be held accountable for saying Gabby was the abuser now look who's dead at the hands of their abuser. She was never the abuser
@@kaymorgan80 Right. Who had the most injuries at Moab? She admitted to hitting him first to get his attention. Is this how you get another persons attention? From the Moab Report. Park Ranger Ryan Kral, points out scratches on the left side of Brian’s neck, left side of his nose, scratch near the center of his face, and bruise and bleeding on the right side of his head. Officer Robbins finds an additional injury on Brian’s right bicep/tricep area. Brian said he was not in any pain, and that he "wasn’t complaining.”
@@kaymorgan80 Brian was driving and pushed Gabby away when she was assaulting him and hitting him with her phone. He could have slugged her right into the door if he had wanted to. He even apologized to the police for pushing her. Did you read my comment that showed his injuries? Maybe you think its fine for women to beat on men.
I think we have all felt that. Probably during the camping, I feel they found out. So disgusting. Or they knew when he first returned home. I also feel their lawyer the good friend may have tried to help him and his parents with the plan.
First of all I don't know how you send a text message to say there's no service if you don't have service you can't send a text message and second of all these people ought to be arrested they knew all the time what was going on and they should have told the police they lied they deceived everybody they hid everything from everybody they should be arrested their accessories why are they still walking around like nothing happened they wouldn't even give the family Gabby's stuff back these people deserve to be in jail
Just because the Laundrie family did not have to disclose any evidence or information doesn’t mean the Petitto family were not suffering which is what the civil suit is for, their suffering
If they had made Brian turn himself in right away and be open and honest that entire circus that costed millions would not have been necessary and their son may still be alive. Their silence caused a huge mess. Gabby would not have been left to rot for weeks. They stayed silent to preserve their egos, and sacrificed their own son in the process. If that isn’t evil I don’t know what is. No wonder where Brian got it from.
How do you force an adult to talk to the police? Should his father have kidnapped him and taken him to the police station? He still couldnt make him speak.
Very sad, my son is Gabby Petito Age, can't imagine all the pain and suffering these people cause to the Gabby Family, They should be accountable for sure...
We had speculation that the Laundries knew that Gabby was dead and not telling anyone and trying to help Brian flee persecution. It’s a MORAL law to tell LE and the family of a deceased person, that their loved one is dead. But, obviously Chris and Roberta Laundrie, along with Bertilino, don’t have any MORAL law to their characters. They live within their own law which makes them subhuman to me. My heart and prayers are with Gabby’s family and I can’t wait for them to win their lawsuit. It probably won’t make any difference to the Laundries and Bertilino, but I don’t care. I want the Petito’s and Schmidt’s to win. Go for Gabby !!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So much respect for JB every time I watch. He has been so incredibly professional and compassionate. I'm glad he's able to do this. I'd have a hard time not swearing. If all of this is true, then I wish appropriate punishment and feelings of immense guilt on the Laundries and their asshole of a lawyer.
Domestic violence escalates, it doesn't just skip GO, and end up straight to murder. Was Gabby being beaten in the Laundries home and did they know about it and did nothing??? There must have been signs.
On the contrary, there was plenty of evidence that Gabby often 'went after' Brian when she'd lose her temper. And it was not in 'self defense'. Moab police has photo's of Brian's, scratched up face. Rose, Gabby's best friend, described this physical violence of Gabby toward Brian...not the other way around. That interview of Rose describing how Gabby would lose her temper and go after Brian's face with her nails - was televised. I watched it. she added that Brian would either push her away, or put a hand over her mouth and get her off him that way.
I am still so upset about Gabby Petito"s murder. From the moment I watched the traffic stop, I knew Gabby was in grave danger. I totally hold the police officers culpable because of their handling of the incident, especially in light of that female officer correctly reading the situation. This just should not have happened and the Laundries are guilty of helping their son if not legally, then most definitely morally.
Gabby was an adult. She made some bad choices but did not deserve to be murdered. The officers did what they could. The outcome was not their fault. She had multiple chances to escape without Brian - including the night of the vehicle stop. The vehicle was hers. She could have left him there and headed back to her parents or contacted them for help. There was also the time in Utah where Brian flew to Florida and left her in Salt Lake. She could have booked then as well.
@@aquajunker5089 Your answer shows that you do not understand trauma bonding that occurs in abusive relationships. There are changes that occur in the brain and physiological and psychological effects associated with both physical and emotional/psychological abuse. Add to that an individual's resiliency etc. It is not so simple as she could leave anytime.
The dirty Laundries should be held financially responsible for all the resources used trying to find Brian. While this was occurring the Laundrie's knew everything including Brian's location and his personal belongings in the park. They went right to them.
The camping reservations were already made for 2 before Brian returned. Afterward Roberta cancelled the reservation for 2 and made a new reservation for 3.
HEADLINES from SEPTEMBER 24, 2021, five days after Gabby Petito's body was found in Wyoming: Brian Laundrie's parents are worried he may have hurt himself and are 'very concerned' about him, the family's lawyer said. Interesting...
I am so glad Gabby’s parents are suing the Laundries. They think the Laundries knew that Brian killed Gabby but would not say anything. I cannot understand why they were not charged with obstruction of Justice.
That charge may come if it can be shown they lied to investigators. (And then if a prosecutor wants to charge them.) As I understand the Florida statutes, you can help a close family member after they've committed a crime but you cannot mislead the investigators. For example, you can know your son killed his girlfriend. You can know he ran off in the swamp. When the investigators ask you if you know where he is you can answer truthfully or you can refer them to your lawyer (remain silent) and you'll still be within the law. You cannot say, for example, he went to Mexico.
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris In the state of Florida obstruction of justice falls under statue 777.03 which you are referring to in your comment. The "related person's exemption" covers obstruction because in the scope of "accessory after the fact" is lumped into helping your immediate relative in any way including evading LEOs, lie about whereabouts of that person, fund, provide shelter etc it is all considered after the fact. Here is the statues exact wording. Florida Statute 777.03 defines what it means to be an accessory after the fact in Florida. When you violate this law, you assist someone after he or she has committed a felony by helping in his or her evade arrest, trial, conviction or punishment. In so doing, you yourself commit a felony offense. However, there is an important exception written into the law, known as the “related person exemption.” This provision holds that an individual can’t be charged with accessory after the fact if they are the suspect’s: Wife Husband Parent Grandparent Child Grandchild Brother (by blood or marriage) Sister (by blood or marriage) Lying to LEO would be considered as "helping evade arrest"

This is literally what I have been waiting for since September. Good for The Petito’s/Schmidt’s. They deserve even the slight amount of closure they may get from this.
I love watching WFLA and JB because they give us facts! Proven facts and if they don’t have proof or something they say allegedly or make it known that is not 100% true or proven.
My daughters boyfriend murdered my daughter. I sort of understand his parents' "problem" but to not say ANYTHING to her parents is inexcusable. I never understood how the mother of my daughters murderer couldn't at least say something to me....some type of apology...just something💔
Exactly! The parents have the evidence from the autopsy and other evidence that we, the public would have seen in court if he had not been found dead. Now all of the evidence will be heard, just like in the Nicole Simpson, OJ trial, that Civil Jury found him guilty in. I'm glad we will know the full truth.
#HeyJB - Cassie is probably not included in the lawsuit because she might have been the one to have furnished information behind the lawsuit's allegations. She may have told them her parents knew certain things and when and may have found out since that they were trying to find a way to help him leave the country. She might become the chief witness for the Plaintiffs!
And JUST think about how he killed her and then was going to leave her to rot. (How sweet) that he could look into her face and continue and then cover it up. And his parents are LITERALLY JUST AS GUILTY!!!! $100,000. is NOTHING. They could use the $ for their charity to help other Gabby's.
Hey JB, I have followed this whole case with you. JB man, you have been my favorite reporter on this case and the most honest and I just want to thank you so much and Brian, and all of your fabulous team for not bullshitting everybody, delivering the facts, unbiased, just laying everything all out there, as is, no agenda.

Too bad there isn’t a law against morally right and wrong. The Laundries were 100% ‘morally’ wrong in their behavior. How awful for them to put Gabbys family thru this agony. Shame on you!
Civil lawsuits have a much lower burden of proof than criminal indictments. I cannot see a jury or judge for that matter letting Brian Laundrie's parents off Scott free for doing what they did. In discovery motions as well as depositions the attorney for the Petito family can get the court to order text messages, emails, as well as voice mail which can be obtained messages with a court order from a judge. Also materials and reports from the police and FBI that may have uncovered proof the Laundrie knew. In Fla. an immediate family member who resides in the same home is not obligated to report it to the police...But in a civil court, the Laundries can be held accountable for not disclosing that they knew Gabby was deceased. I think the Petito family has a very good chance of winning this lawsuit and I hope they do!
@RYMIN V I guess I am demonstrating how easly we stop deploying logic when we get emotional. This really demonstrates how much forethought went into our laws and how much our founders understood the dark side of human nature so a jury of emotional people can't determine a person's fate.Thank you for pointing this out.
@RYMIN V Point well taken.I guess the attorney who said this to me is a moron...How do these people fake it through Law School? I think she went to Cornell?
@RYMIN V I think I have conceded that you made a good point and that I was clearly wrong but I am not a coward so I did not delete my comments because I hope maybe someone might read it and learn something...that said you do not need to continue dragging me with more comments.
I'm not saying I'm glad that Brian did what he did to himself. And I feel the pain of his family. But reality is BL created the situation by killing gabby. And he created (in his mind) the solution. No one forced him to end his life. I'm sorry for loss of the parents but he created everything. Even putting parents into the situation. He should have never killed her in the first place but after he did, he should have manned up and turned himself in. But I doubt he has never been required to man-up.
I kinda understand his mindset and why Brian killed Gabby. My ex abused me for years. There were times I wished him dead all day long. I never mean to hurt my ex, but i was never strong enough mentally to leave my emotionally abusive relationship. I thought "his death" was the only solution and option left. I only wanted to end my pain and suffering. I left him in the end, I never killed him. Brian probably felt the same way I did when he killed Gabby - that was the only solution and option left. It may not be easy or quick to end a dysfunctional relationship, and things get more complicated from the inside. When someone you love hurts you, you can hold on to anger, resentment, and revenge, but most "weak" people can't do it. Emotions make us feel but they also make us act. Emotions can play an important role in how we think and behave.
@@dontask4990 how could it have been the only solution? She wasn't abusing him he could easily have left her they weren't married or attached by anything. Had nothing to do with your abuse.
I believe the Laundries wanted to get him out if the country but had no idea of the worldwide coverage making it impossible to simply sneak out of the. County.
If you have the documents then they've been served. They should pay back All Police who were involved, wasting their time for that long. Watch the media get to their house again. Gabby's family want them on the stand so they could hear them talk.
I can understand Brian having the right to remain silent but aiding and abetting a murder obstruction of justice is a crime. How are they not being charged?
@@trinalacoste5262 Florida law exempts “husband or wife, parent or grandparent, child or grandchild, [or] brother or sister” from categorization as either an accessory before the fact, accessory after the fact, or someone who maintains the principal. It is understood that most immediate family members should not be punished for attempting to protect a wayward relation. Unbelievable I know!
Well the truth has come out at last , I think everyone knew they were hiding the truth from gabbys family the disgusting people that they are I hope Justice is done for gabbys family’s sake ! I can’t even begin to imagine the pain they suffered all this time
🙏 I sincerely hope this lawsuit via a jury trial brings forth abundant compensation based on the horrendous behavior, lack of empathy, aiding and abetting their murderous son and his intentional lies of deception, facts yet to be revealed, the dirty Laundrie family inflicted upon them all. Although quite sadly it will never ease the loss of their beautiful daughter whose life was cut short just as she was blossoming into adulthood. 😢
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris Florida statue states that it is illegal to aid a criminal if you know of the crime, and aiding and abetting after the fact, whether or not you witnessed the crime. The penalty given depends on the level of crime. If he was charged with a capital offense them aiding him would be a 1st degree felony, and considering it was murder in the first degree because he clearly had intent to end her life it would be considered capitol therefore his parents could be charged with a felony if this truly is what happened and it can be proven. But if they knew she was dead and let it drag on for weeks, they will definitely be brought up on some sort of charge. Id hope. However at the time of his and her disappearance he hadn't been charged with any crime, which may interfere. I'm not sure how that is going to be viewed if it's taken to a court room.
@@dani.dee4213 There is also the possibility that they plea bargained information for their immunity. Then they could go free or have lesser charges or restitution.
And not to mention where were the Laundries while the whole world had volunteers and law enforcement looking for Gabby and their own son. Their behavior was very odd no emotion
Thank you JB for not giving up on this case. It was so frustrating to watch the laundries get away with all their shenanigans and i hope that some of this comes to light in criminal court someday.
This is a civil lawsuit. That means no criminal charges are being pressed but they are seeking financial compensation. A person can be found not guilty in a criminal matter but held responsible in a civil suit. Good for them. They may eventually have grounds for a criminal case with obstruction, aiding, or conspiring.
At this point, there can't be much justice for Gabby, but more importantly, there CAN be for her parents and their families, who were forced to spend thousands of dollars and likely leave their jobs temporarily because the Laundrie family (including Brian) wouldn't cooperate with them and tell them where Gabby was for all of those weeks, wouldn't tell them what happened, and we know that Brian stole money from Gabby's card on his trip back home. I'm also assuming that the Petito family was forced to pay impound fees for the van and took a loss on the vehicle due to its condition after it was customized. This lawsuit could be the only way that the families of Gabby's parents can recover those monetary losses; sadly, they will never regain her life, which was priceless.
The Gabby and Brian's family spent 8 hours with the FBI sorting through both of their belongings. I believe that's when the Petito family read the notebook of Brian's. I truly believe they know they can back up this lawsuit with overwhelming evidence. This is going to be so interesting and maybe the answers we are all looking for. I hope this reveals the truth and gives justice for Gabby and her family. Xxx
Always was pretty suspicious that his parents wouldn't cooperate with police about Gabby, a woman who lived in their house and was nearly "part of their family", not returning... but they sure got in touch fast when it was their child missing.
I don’t think it’s about the $. Otherwise they would be suing for more. I think it’s the only way to make the Dirty Laundries talk publicly. That’s probably worth it! At least I hope it is.
The attorney will conduct discovery if the Complaint survives a Motion to Dismiss. The burden is less in civil court than criminal court but you can't sue on speculation. I doubt Brian's family will admit anything.
Lets hope they have evidence, the call to retain attorney is pretty damning. Attorney will also have to testify in a jury trial and hopefully can no longer represent them. If they knew, they knew and were aiding and abedding, how can the attorney say the parents didnt have to speak to anyone? This whole case is such a cluster.
#HEYJB. The laundries are cowards when it comes to Gabbys family for them to block Gabby’s mother when she was desperately trying to find out about her daughter and than go on a family vacation. It is a disgrace for anyone to do that to a mother and father. They should have to face a jury . There was a civil law suit against OJ after he was found innocent and Nicole’s parents won.
They might as well have put a sign in their front yard that said "WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT WE AIN'T TELLING" because that is pretty much what it boils down to by their actions, lack of words, and lack of emotion whenever they left their cave.
#HeyJB- Also, if Brian told his parents about killing Gabby, and he was planning on leaving, wouldn't his parents be guilty of aiding and abetting?! This Civil case may very well turn into a Criminal case, that is, if Laundrie's tell truth under oath for the Civil case.
Victoria, I shared this same thought and comment that the parents should be charged with aiding and abetting. At this point I believe Brian is still alive somewhere....he's not dead. I hope thatvthis case goes to court and all ofbtheir actions be scrutinized. Because I believe they planted those bones....and the personal belongings found. Now the mother is still asking for Brian's notebook.....seriously. Let's pray, that thus goes to court so we can all hear the truth.....and hopefully evidence to support these allegations.
@@infatuatedlover4289 Where on earth would his parents get skeletized remains that had been eaten by animals from? That's nuts. And they just happened to also have access to a skull with teeth that perfectly matched Brian's dental records and DNA that perfectly matched Brian's?
@@jenniferalvarez4041 I wonder if Brian ever had a twin or sibling that died? If so that body could have been dug up and planted in the reserve for the FBI to find.
I'm glad the Petito family are pursuing this. They need to know; the Laundries need to come clean! I suspect they DID know, otherwise they wouldn't have got a lawyer involved so early! As a parent, I'd know if my child was hiding something from me.
They need the Laundries to Give Them Back Gabby’s possessions if they haven’t yet TOO!!
@@jemsmom97
GABBY’s Parents have already got her Possessions back. They got them when her Parents went to the FBI headquarters for that Meeting. The Dirty Laundries were there also from what I have heard.
Of course the weirdo,s parents knew . How coud anyone even question that? Did they say , "hey brian , thats Gabby,s van , so where,s Gabby . J.B , thier not going to reach out to you . You no that . And him calling the grandfather Stan, seems like an embedded confession 2 me .
Lawyers always say call a lawyer first, and then guilty or innocent they'll say to stfu. It makes anyone look guilty and in my opinion hinders the truth from being known. The reasons the lawyers give is that anything you say can be twisted and used. And in court that's absolutely true. Bcuz the immoral will be defending and prosecuting. Most ordinary people can't fathom the levels to which a lawyer will stoop on either side. I'm not anti lawyer but I am anti immoral twisting and that's a lake attorneys have often dipped.
There are FBI offices in every major city in the US. They are called "field offices". So no reason to get snarky. I don't know what the Petito family.was given but to back the post you are replying to, it was released on media that the all parents agreed on who belonged to what. What the FBI and other law enforcement agencies kept as part of their evidence we don't know. I wonder if the real reason for this lawsuit is to push for the revelation of exactly what was said in the journal etc found near Brian's remains. Because even if his parents knew before he was found dead 1) how would they prove that and 2) how is that grounds for litigation? Gabby was dead by the time Brian got home so they can't say if they had revealed any information it might have saved her life. I can see why the LEOs might want to charge them with obstruction but apparently they aren't going to. I can't see how it's grounds for a lawsuit and it won't bring her back. I have to believe there is some reason other than just vengeance.
I believe Brian Laundrie's parents did cause Gabby's parents undue pain and suffering and should be held accountable. This again is only my opinion!
Yep! And maybe they can share a cell with the crummy Crumbly’s . 🤷🏽♀️

Civil law is alot different then criminal law! Civil law takes less evidence to prove. Let this Jury decide this lawsuit!
This is both true and false, the plaintiff has the burden and obligation to prove the case with stronger evidence than the defendant has. This is called the “preponderance of the evidence” standard. If the Petitos have strictly hearsay and circumstantial evidence even a jury would not rule in their favor. Personally I see why they want a jury trial versus a bench trial, judges are much harder to please than a jury specifically in civil trials.
I believe if the Plaintiffs' can convince that jury that the greater preponderance of the evidence proves what is alleged in their complaint, they win. I believe a jury trial was a smart move, every parent can sympathize with the Plaintiffs'.
@@Denise-Ann It has nothing to do with the jury sympathizing with the Petitos that is not what the jury is suppose to do. The jury is simiply suppose to be unbiased and use the evidence to come up with a verdict, do they have a better chance with a jury over a bench trial, yes but it is still going to be hard to win this civil suit.
@@theguy81642 Emotion should not enter into the greater weight of the evidence but no one can turn on the full spectrum of emotions that come from being a parent and sympathizing with parents that lost their 22 year old. This would be the same scenario you would use peremptory challenges for. If you are defending a murderer and a potential juror has had a family member murdered, you would want them removed. Those jurors will absolutely have emotions about this. We hope this does not factor into their decision but having been on a jury many many years ago, emotions are a topic in that jury room. I believe it will be in this case.
@@theguy81642 I think that if it were a bench trial a judge would have a hard time ruling against the Petitos.
Why are the parents of the murderer, who aided and abetted said murderer, have more rights than the victim and her parents?
Yes! In this country we focus so much on the rights of the wrongdoer that the victim's rights fall by the wayside.
The guilty always have more rights than the victim. So much for our great justice system.

@@Lisa-hc3uq JB from the TV News station said , the Laundries confessed that Brian called them the day after he killed Gabby, to let them know. It was after that, that The Laundries retained attorney Bertalino.
She was gorgeous and full of life, sharing her adventure with the world. Her life was ahead of her, who knows what she would have created and what we were all robbed of. No hair on her head should have been harmed for any reason, let alone from her fiance. It's despicable what he did and it's despicable the way his parents treated hers. Brian and his parents are cut from the same cloth; evil people who need to be punished, for their gross immoral behaviour which is reprehensible to society. My heart extends to her family and those who were truly close to her as obviously the Laundries were not.
This is important, Why was Brian in a Mental Hospital, in New Jersey ?? A person he knew, mentioned this in a text, sometime ago ! The court should be aware of this info, if there is truth to any of it ?
Interesting. The "negligence" charge might have something to do with them even allowing him to go miles away with her knowing he was not stable.
@@jeanjackson2324 they probably know of him being in the Hosp, but it was probably not Admissible in court for Legal reasons, such as the ,”HIPPA LAW.”
@RYMIN V, oh, hey, Roberta 😂
So... this is a tad gas lighting. Let me explain why. Gabby is the one who was charged as the abuser. Its possible that Brian reacted as any abused partner would. Does this sound reprehensible? It IS a possibility. Facts are that we just don't know the entire dynamic.
And similarly, this family, as much as they are hurting, its coming out in an unhealthy anger. Since they can't blame Brian, they are going after his parents. Its just wrong. Like so much else here, WE do not know so, so, so many facts. And Brians family is suffering already too, on a whole other level. I hope this lawsuit is tossed because its emotionally based, inappropriately in my estimation, and not legally based. The Laundrie Family is not liable for anything that I can see.
The reason he killed her doesn't matter! He had NO RIGHT TO KILL HER!
#HeyJB I keep going back to the text message Brian deceivingly sent to Gabbys parents saying “No service in Yosemite”. Can’t help but also assume Brian was trying to avoid the last known area of Gabby and send that in hopes that the focus of any search would be far from where they actually were.
I'm glad Gabby's family is finally suing them they knew and said or did nothing shame on them
The day he drove her van home should have been a RED FLAG FIR THE LAUNDRIES. They did nothing l. They did not call her parents and would not answer her parents calls. They are guilty all the way
The FBI may still well be investigating Brian's parents...I really hope so, isn't withholding information on a murder a crime in the US ???
Wives, lawyers, priests, and psychologists I believe are exempt from prosecution; otherwise everyone else would be. There's a case in Florida where a family hid a man (after killing his pregnant girlfriend and a female officer) and they were sent to prison, so I would think the Laundries would as guilty as they were.
Statement from FBI said no charges.
No. Get a life already.
The fbi, not done.. the make u think n bomb 💣
I'm curious if Brian's parents could have been charged with obstruction of justice. They did EVERYTHING in their power to protect the murdering monster THEY CREATED.
The entire story of the camping trip with Brian and Cassie smelled dreadfully from the beginning.
The cruelty is beyond belief.
I’m thrilled that the suit has been filed.
I’m praying justice prevails.
A jury will find them GUiLTY.
Guilty of what exactly?
@@doglady9334 aiding and abetting, & any charges involving concealment, hindrance, knowledge etc. I'm not LE or a lawyer so I don't know the specific names of the charges
@@r-e_mii nothing you mentioned has any evidence to support it.
I mean WHY ELSE would they not speak to Gabby’s family and lawyer up?
Not only would the Laundries not help Gabby's family where to find Gabby, but the Laundries wouldn't even tell LE where her body was. And that was before Brian went missing.
Ironically, if the Laundries had turned him in immediately when he returned in her van without her, they would probably still have their son. Two lives senselessly lost way too soon.
Did you ever wonder if they were ready to be rid of him? I’m sure they were tired of putting up with him and made life miserable for them all. I’m sure they didn’t really mind if he died. They just didn’t want him to go to jail and suffer! They protected him from torture there!!
@@victoriacannaday8960 interesting.
Gabby lived with Brian and his parents for 2 years and Brian confessed to killing her to them and their attorney stated that the Laundries "... have no OBLIGATION to Law Enforcement... or the Petito family". This is why MORAL OBLIGATION comes into play and the lawsuit needs to proceed. ⚖
Yes. When he said " Obligation " I was shocked! Bertillino should be named in the lawsuit too!!! Perjury, obstruction of justice or something!!
We were all told about the blunt force trauma to the head and neck in the posted coroner affidavit. We also heard John Walsh slip information prior to the report release where he said she was beaten, will never forget those words.
R & L , even while writing his finally note Brian lied about what really happen he thought that's what she wanted , to be murdered beaten her air supply cut off , Brian may you spend eternity with Satan for wh as t you've done.He clearly was a jealous control freak with mommy/women issues
As a mother I sit here wondering if this was my child then what would I feel was justice. I don’t know that answer because Brian is dead.
I’ve always felt his family helped his hinder the investigation into gabbys disappearance - I believe they helped him clean the van - ( there’s pictures) I believe he told them what he had done and I believe they advised him to stone wall via a lawyer.
I also believe he’s no longer living because his parents helped him avoid talking to the police which have lead to his arrest and sui watch would have been in place. So they have to live with that on them and gabby. So idk what is enough for them.
Having the world know what they knew and did would be some little form of justice but nothing will bring their daughter back and nobody is serving a single day in jail. It’s awful. I can’t imagine and I feel horrible for her family.
100% FACTS allegedly.......but still FACTS
They will eventually sell their story. Someone will eventually purchase it.
How does Brian need his parents to "help" him? He was an adult who could come and go as he pleased.
Well stated. Evidence exists as does the coinciding behavior/s oh and meanwhile tax dollars were being burned up over their lies, deception and over all antics. Bottom feeding scum sludgsh excuses for humanity.
@@lindaknight5 The Petitos sell their story? No doubt.
Even if they did not know they knew she was not with Brain when he returned home. As parents they should of called Gabby's parents.
Brian’s mom blocked Gabby’s mother, calling her to find out what was going on ? She blocked her….. His parents think that we as the public forgot, details : Brian’s friend in New York worked with Him, at some kind of Garden Center, and Brian was fired due to his temper tantrum…. Also, was stated : That Brian was a patient in a Mental Hospital, in New Jersey, years ago ! Now, those are public records, they should be searched out, and do some research on his Past ! Just why was Brian in a Mental Hospital, His parents have to have knowledge of that Record ! His mother worked for an attorney years ago ? Something to that effect ? His parents have covered up everything very well !
@@jeanjackson2324 His prior mental health records are not public info. HIPAA still applies. Are you saying that because someone's been in a mental hospital before that people are required to expect they will murder someone? That's a terribly unfair stigma you're putting on millions of Americans. Look at the stats on what percentage of Americans have mental illness.
I dont think the parents liked each other so that was why they were blocked.i blocked my daughters mothering law because she was a pest her son abused my daughter and I didnt want to hear her excuses for him hurting her and endangering my grandkids.The weirdo was drunk and spelled out I love you with hypodermic needles used to inseminate hogs at a hog farm.Discusting in itself
I blocked them all
He also pulled a gun on her.
I have said from the beginning, the biggest red flag about this tragedy was the fact the Laundrie's ignored calls/texts from Gabby's family during those first couple of weeks. The ONLY reason they would do that is because they knew. There is no other reason they would have not communicated with Gabby's family and try and help in any way they could, during that time to try and find Gabby.
It's incredible how we all just knew who Gabby was without ever knowing her in person. Her spirit is something exceptional really. You just don't encounter that every day. We all knew right away what we needed to do for her.
You don't know her or him at all!
It could be seen she was an innocent girl from her social media presence. And Brian was an evil ahole.
@@RyanTaylor1223 what is clear is Brian was a selfish jealous psycho.
@@RyanTaylor1223 I know them both. In my younger years, reading people was important for survival. I watched the police video. Brian reminds me of addicts I used to know.

This world is so f-ed up I can tell you Gabby is worth putting my life on the line for. Not even necessarily for her but so I can maintain and fight for meaning in what I've seen can be a dark world.
You only saw the side of her she wanted you to see except for Moab. Did you see the pic she took with a pistol next to her face?
I’ve always thought they knew, and that was why they lawyered up so fast.
Innocent or guilty always get a lawyer and never speak to police on your own bc if you are innocent it’s to protect you. I’m not taking the laundries side I’m just telling you this just in case you are ever involved in something even if you are innocent get a lawyer… ask any police officer or judge or your district attorney they will all say it is the smart thing to do!!! So JFYK (just for your knowledge) (trying to be cool like the young kids 😝 I’m old haha) but always get a lawyer I speak from experience… if you ever look me up in case search under my maiden name trust me from personal experience always get a lawyer xoxo hope u never need one
@@kimberlyel82 Yes, the media and Hollywood have done a great job of creating the myth that if you lawyer up it can only because you're guilty. Huge disservice to Americans to perpetuate that stigma.

@@kimberlyel82 I’m not giving legal advice, and I’m not suggesting that anyone should choose against it. My late sister was an attorney.

@@tishratcliff9601 The FBI statement is that he took responsiblity. You can read into that anything you want.

Exactly of course they knew thats why they picked up his car and they knew exactly where the body was.
Because Gabbys father called/texted them and threatened them.

From the Moab Report.
Park Ranger Ryan Kral, points out scratches on the left side of Brian’s neck, left side of his nose, scratch near the center of his face, and bruise and bleeding on the right side of his head. Officer Robbins finds an additional injury on Brian’s right bicep/tricep area. Brian said he was not in any pain, and that he "wasn’t complaining.”
@@sr2291 Also his fingernail mark was on her left cheek she said it burned.
@@kaymorgan80 Brian was driving and pushed Gabby away when she was assaulting him and hitting him with her phone. He could have slugged her right into the door if he had wanted to. He even apologized to the police for pushing her. Did you read my comment that showed his injuries? Maybe you think its fine for women to beat on men.
I think we have all felt that. Probably during the camping, I feel they found out. So disgusting. Or they knew when he first returned home. I also feel their lawyer the good friend may have tried to help him and his parents with the plan.
Your feelings are pointless. Facts are needed.
First of all I don't know how you send a text message to say there's no service if you don't have service you can't send a text message and second of all these people ought to be arrested they knew all the time what was going on and they should have told the police they lied they deceived everybody they hid everything from everybody they should be arrested their accessories why are they still walking around like nothing happened they wouldn't even give the family Gabby's stuff back these people deserve to be in jail

If they had made Brian turn himself in right away and be open and honest that entire circus that costed millions would not have been necessary and their son may still be alive.

And stayed silent hoping she would never be found. Or be too decayed to tell how she died.

Very sad, my son is Gabby Petito Age, can't imagine all the pain and suffering these people cause to the Gabby Family, They should be accountable for sure...
We had speculation that the Laundries knew that Gabby was dead and not telling anyone and trying to help Brian flee persecution. It’s a MORAL law to tell LE and the family of a deceased person, that their loved one is dead. But, obviously Chris and Roberta Laundrie, along with Bertilino, don’t have any MORAL law to their characters. They live within their own law which makes them subhuman to me. My heart and prayers are with Gabby’s family and I can’t wait for them to win their lawsuit. It probably won’t make any difference to the Laundries and Bertilino, but I don’t care. I want the Petito’s and Schmidt’s to win. Go for Gabby !!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Without a confession, they won’t be able to prove they knew.

Wow if U. S. citizens could be criminally prosecuted for shitty morals we’d run out of Law Enforcement and prisons!
So much respect for JB every time I watch. He has been so incredibly professional and compassionate. I'm glad he's able to do this. I'd have a hard time not swearing. If all of this is true, then I wish appropriate punishment and feelings of immense guilt on the Laundries and their asshole of a lawyer.
Domestic violence escalates, it doesn't just skip GO, and end up straight to murder. Was Gabby being beaten in the Laundries home and did they know about it and did nothing??? There must have been signs.
There was a video of the neighbor saying he heard yelling fighting.
Good point.
Supposedly they didn't live with them Gabby and idiot had a condo his parents paid for.
I have always wondered this too
On the contrary, there was plenty of evidence that Gabby often 'went after' Brian when she'd lose her temper. And it was not in 'self defense'.
Moab police has photo's of Brian's, scratched up face. Rose, Gabby's best friend, described this physical violence of Gabby toward Brian...not the other way around.
That interview of Rose describing how Gabby would lose her temper and go after Brian's face with her nails - was televised. I watched it. she added that Brian would either push her away, or put a hand over her mouth and get her off him that way.
I am still so upset about Gabby Petito"s murder. From the moment I watched the traffic stop, I knew Gabby was in grave danger. I totally hold the police officers culpable because of their handling of the incident, especially in light of that female officer correctly reading the situation. This just should not have happened and the Laundries are guilty of helping their son if not legally, then most definitely morally.
@jhankri. I've heard all my life "you cannot legislate morality."
Unfortunately.
Gabby was an adult. She made some bad choices but did not deserve to be murdered. The officers did what they could. The outcome was not their fault. She had multiple chances to escape without Brian - including the night of the vehicle stop. The vehicle was hers.
She could have left him there and headed back to her parents or contacted them for help. There was also the time in Utah where Brian flew to Florida and left her in Salt Lake. She could have booked then as well.
@@aquajunker5089 Your answer shows that you do not understand trauma bonding that occurs in abusive relationships.

@@jhankri amen!!!! Absolutely right I’m a therapist …those Utah cops could have prevented all this! I blame them in this as well.

they will burn in hell just like brian
Yes Rick. Which really fuelled the theory of trying to help him escape. And the fact that they had planted evidence.
The camping trip was to maintain the story that the Laundrie parents didn't know. It was a cover up by misdirection.
The camping reservations were already made for 2 before Brian returned. Afterward Roberta cancelled the reservation for 2 and made a new reservation for 3.
@@sr2291 Yes, canceled because BL was coming home. Then, decided to keep it to show no disruption.

HEADLINES from SEPTEMBER 24, 2021, five days after Gabby Petito's body was found in Wyoming:
Brian Laundrie's parents are worried he may have hurt himself and are 'very concerned' about him, the family's lawyer said.
Interesting...
I am so glad Gabby’s parents are suing the Laundries. They think the Laundries knew that Brian killed Gabby but would not say anything.
I cannot understand why they were not charged with obstruction of Justice.
That charge may come if it can be shown they lied to investigators. (And then if a prosecutor wants to charge them.)
As I understand the Florida statutes, you can help a close family member after they've committed a crime but you cannot mislead the investigators.
For example, you can know your son killed his girlfriend. You can know he ran off in the swamp. When the investigators ask you if you know where he is you can answer truthfully or you can refer them to your lawyer (remain silent) and you'll still be within the law.
You cannot say, for example, he went to Mexico.
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris In the state of Florida obstruction of justice falls under statue 777.03 which you are referring to in your comment. The "related person's exemption" covers obstruction because in the scope of "accessory after the fact" is lumped into helping your immediate relative in any way including evading LEOs, lie about whereabouts of that person, fund, provide shelter etc it is all considered after the fact. Here is the statues exact wording.
Florida Statute 777.03 defines what it means to be an accessory after the fact in Florida. When you violate this law, you assist someone after he or she has committed a felony by helping in his or her evade arrest, trial, conviction or punishment. In so doing, you yourself commit a felony offense.
However, there is an important exception written into the law, known as the “related person exemption.” This provision holds that an individual can’t be charged with accessory after the fact if they are the suspect’s:
Wife
Husband
Parent
Grandparent
Child
Grandchild
Brother (by blood or marriage)
Sister (by blood or marriage)
Lying to LEO would be considered as "helping evade arrest"
@@theguy81642
Ok. I knew you could do things like harbor them, give them money and provide transportation, but I thought the line was actively misleading investigators.
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris Lying to law enforcement would be included in evading under that particular statue, evading is vast as far as what the law defines it as.

Hope the Prtitos at least have to pay for the Laundries attorney.. All They have done is trash the laundry family for no reason.
Thank god they have filed a suit. We'll learn alot more about the specifics we have all had inquiring minds about!
Exactly! The parents have the evidence from the autopsy and other evidence that we, the public would have seen in court if he had not been found dead. Now all of the evidence will be heard, just like in the Nicole Simpson, OJ trial, that Civil Jury found him guilty in. I'm glad we will know the full truth.
Justice for Gabby and her family!!!
#HeyJB - Cassie is probably not included in the lawsuit because she might have been the one to have furnished information behind the lawsuit's allegations. She may have told them her parents knew certain things and when and may have found out since that they were trying to find a way to help him leave the country. She might become the chief witness for the Plaintiffs!
I never thought of that. I hope that she did, because she knows way more than she let in in her interview.
Money I’s nothing. They are already ruined . Their reputation is damaged beyond repair!! They will always be the dirty Laundries !!
Doubt it!
And JUST think about how he killed her and then was going to leave her to rot. (How sweet) that he could look into her face and continue and then cover it up. And his parents are LITERALLY

Too bad there isn’t a law against morally right and wrong. The Laundries were 100% ‘morally’ wrong in their behavior. How awful for them to put Gabbys family thru this agony. Shame on you!
Civil lawsuits have a much lower burden of proof than criminal indictments. I cannot see a jury or judge for that matter letting Brian Laundrie's parents off Scott free for doing what they did.
In discovery motions as well as depositions the attorney for the Petito family can get the court to order text messages, emails, as well as voice mail which can be obtained messages with a court order from a judge. Also materials and reports from the
police and FBI that may have uncovered proof the Laundrie knew.
In Fla. an immediate family member who resides in the same home is not obligated to report it to the police...But in a civil court, the Laundries can be held accountable for not disclosing that they knew Gabby was deceased. I think the Petito family has a very good chance of winning this lawsuit and I hope they do!
Rose, we will be judged according to our works by the almighty God in heaven. NO ONE escapes his judgement for our sins here on earth.
@RYMIN V I guess I am demonstrating how easly we stop deploying logic when we get emotional. This really demonstrates how much forethought went into our laws and how much our founders understood the dark side of human nature so a jury of emotional people can't determine a person's fate.Thank you for pointing this out.
@RYMIN V Point well taken.I guess the attorney who said this to me is a moron...How do these people fake it through Law School? I think she went to Cornell?
@RYMIN V I think I have conceded that you made a good point and that I was clearly wrong but I am not a coward so I did not delete my comments because I hope maybe someone might read it and learn something...that said you do not need to continue dragging me with more comments.
I'm not saying I'm glad that Brian did what he did to himself. And I feel the pain of his family. But reality is BL created the situation by killing gabby. And he created (in his mind) the solution. No one forced him to end his life. I'm sorry for loss of the parents but he created everything. Even putting parents into the situation. He should have never killed her in the first place but after he did, he should have manned up and turned himself in. But I doubt he has never been required to man-up.
Not upset about Brian's death or how the parents felt. The laundrie parents put the petito family through this. Not giving information
I kinda understand his mindset and why Brian killed Gabby.
My ex abused me for years. There were times I wished him dead all day long. I never mean to hurt my ex, but i was never strong enough mentally to leave my emotionally abusive relationship. I thought "his death" was the only solution and option left. I only wanted to end my pain and suffering.
I left him in the end, I never killed him. Brian probably felt the same way I did when he killed Gabby - that was the only solution and option left.
It may not be easy or quick to end a dysfunctional relationship, and things get more complicated from the inside.
When someone you love hurts you, you can hold on to anger, resentment, and revenge, but most "weak" people can't do it. Emotions make us feel but they also make us act. Emotions can play an important role in how we think and behave.
@@dontask4990 how could it have been the only solution? She wasn't abusing him he could easily have left her they weren't married or attached by anything. Had nothing to do with your abuse.
He felt like a loser and was jealous. Probably said to her he'd make her famous like she wanted by murder.
The Laundrie's need to lose every damn cent they have! Allowing Gabbie's parent suffer the way they did is horrific, like parents, like son...
I believe the Laundries wanted to get him out if the country but had no idea of the worldwide coverage making it impossible to simply sneak out of the. County.
They ran out of time because of the speed of the internet sleuths. IMO
If you have the documents then they've been served.
They should pay back All Police who were involved, wasting their time for that long. Watch the media get to their house again. Gabby's family want them on the stand so they could hear them talk.

🙏 I sincerely hope this lawsuit via a jury trial brings forth abundant compensation based on the horrendous behavior, lack of empathy, aiding and abetting their murderous son and his intentional lies of deception, facts yet to be revealed, the dirty Laundrie family inflicted upon them all. Although quite sadly it will never ease the loss of their beautiful daughter whose life was cut short just as she was blossoming into adulthood. 😢
We all knew it.
I thought that you could be accessories after the fact by just knowing "if it is true" that their son killed her.
Only if you helped after you knew. Which, they did buy him a new phone, so maybe…
No, in Florida you aren't required by law to turn in a close family member and it's not illegal to aid them.
@@Cautionary_Tale_Harris Florida statue states that it is illegal to aid a criminal if you know of the crime, and aiding and abetting after the fact, whether or not you witnessed the crime.
The penalty given depends on the level of crime. If he was charged with a capital offense them aiding him would be a 1st degree felony, and considering it was murder in the first degree because he clearly had intent to end her life it would be considered capitol therefore his parents could be charged with a felony if this truly is what happened and it can be proven. But if they knew she was dead and let it drag on for weeks, they will definitely be brought up on some sort of charge. Id hope.
However at the time of his and her disappearance he hadn't been charged with any crime, which may interfere. I'm not sure how that is going to be viewed if it's taken to a court room.

Thank you JB for not giving up on this case. It was so frustrating to watch the laundries get away with all their shenanigans and i hope that some of this comes to light in criminal court someday.
His parents were cold hearted to not give at least some information!
This is a civil lawsuit. That means no criminal charges are being pressed but they are seeking financial compensation. A person can be found not guilty in a criminal matter but held responsible in a civil suit. Good for them. They may eventually have grounds for a criminal case with obstruction, aiding, or conspiring.
At this point, there can't be much justice for Gabby, but more importantly, there CAN be for her parents and their families, who were forced to spend thousands of dollars and likely leave their jobs temporarily because the Laundrie family (including Brian) wouldn't cooperate with them and tell them where Gabby was for all of those weeks, wouldn't tell them what happened, and we know that Brian stole money from Gabby's card on his trip back home. I'm also assuming that the Petito family was forced to pay impound fees for the van and took a loss on the vehicle due to its condition after it was customized. This lawsuit could be the only way that the families of Gabby's parents can recover those monetary losses; sadly, they will never regain her life, which was priceless.
The Gabby and Brian's family spent 8 hours with the FBI sorting through both of their belongings. I believe that's when the Petito family read the notebook of Brian's. I truly believe they know they can back up this lawsuit with overwhelming evidence. This is going to be so interesting and maybe the answers we are all looking for. I hope this reveals the truth and gives justice for Gabby and her family. Xxx
Always was pretty suspicious that his parents wouldn't cooperate with police about Gabby, a woman who lived in their house and was nearly "part of their family", not returning... but they sure got in touch fast when it was their child missing.
they DID cooperate with police. just not publicly.
I don’t think it’s about the $. Otherwise they would be suing for more. I think it’s the only way to make the Dirty Laundries talk publicly. That’s probably worth it!
At least I hope it is.
Sure it’s about money. They have been capitalizing off this couple even before Gabby’s body was found. Look at their history.
The attorney will conduct discovery if the Complaint survives a Motion to Dismiss. The burden is less in civil court than criminal court but you can't sue on speculation. I doubt Brian's family will admit anything.
Lets hope they have evidence, the call to retain attorney is pretty damning. Attorney will also have to testify in a jury trial and hopefully can no longer represent them. If they knew, they knew and were aiding and abedding, how can the attorney say the parents didnt have to speak to anyone? This whole case is such a cluster.
I love it! I have said this ALL along! I wish them well in their lawsuits.
#HEYJB. The laundries are cowards when it comes to Gabbys family for them to block Gabby’s mother when she was desperately trying to find out about her daughter and than go on a family vacation. It is a disgrace for anyone to do that to a mother and father. They should have to face a jury . There was a civil law suit against OJ after he was found innocent and Nicole’s parents won.
I’m so happy that this is happening. This family DESERVES SOME JUSTICE. What Gabby’s family had to endure was cruel!!!
I pray there will be justice for Gabby, she deserves it 💞
They might as well have put a sign in their front yard that said "WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT WE AIN'T TELLING" because that is pretty much what it boils down to by their actions, lack of words, and lack of emotion whenever they left their cave.
I'm sure her parents have something on them to want to sue now
There was nothing new released and they lack evidence. I won’t be surprised if this case doesn’t get thrown out.
No necessarily you can sue anyone doesn't mean they have evidence also doesn't mean the judge will not throw the case out.
OLD,OLD school Justice needs to take place here!!
AGREED!!
My heart goes out to Joe and Nicole as a parent I could not imagine how difficult this is for them brains parents are equally responsible
No amount of money can replace the pain this family has been through 😢
Both families.
Wow that must have been hard for Gabbys family to hear that. I do feel like they knew, why else wouldn't they return texts or calls from her family.
Brians mother BLOCKED Gabby's mothers phone number. BLOCKED her on fb as well.
Thats deliberate.
Make them PAY
Thanks JB for great reporting and keeping everyone updated.
I'm so glad the truth is finally coming out.my love and thoughts go to Gabbys family
Everyone new he told them come on who’s son wouldn’t 🤦🏼♀️
Did some of this info possibly come to light from Brians notebook?
#HeyJB- Also, if Brian told his parents about killing Gabby, and he was planning on leaving, wouldn't his parents be guilty of aiding and abetting?! This Civil case may very well turn into a Criminal case, that is, if Laundrie's tell truth under oath for the Civil case.
Victoria, I shared this same thought and comment that the parents should be charged with aiding and abetting. At this point I believe Brian is still alive somewhere....he's not dead.
I hope thatvthis case goes to court and all ofbtheir actions be scrutinized. Because I believe they planted those bones....and the personal belongings found. Now the mother is still asking for Brian's notebook.....seriously.
Let's pray, that thus goes to court so we can all hear the truth.....and hopefully evidence to support these allegations.
@@infatuatedlover4289 Where on earth would his parents get skeletized remains that had been eaten by animals from? That's nuts. And they just happened to also have access to a skull with teeth that perfectly matched Brian's dental records and DNA that perfectly matched Brian's?
@@jenniferalvarez4041 I wonder if Brian ever had a twin or sibling that died? If so that body could have been dug up and planted in the reserve for the FBI to find.
This could still be going on ... looking for gabby if not for you tubers spotting the van and reporting it.
There’s got to be evidence………not EVERYONE who is close to them will remain loyal!!!
I’m praying Cassie comes forward (maybe a plea deal???)
I was also thinking Cassie, she is a decent person I believe if she knows anything she will tell!!!!!
The parents need to be jailed ASAP!!! THEY KNEW ALL ALONG!!!
