Gabby Petito

tempo_n_groove · November 2022

Petito family awarded 3 million from Police department. I don't agree with that one.

They are now suing the parents of Brian Laundrie for a wrongful death suit. Not sure how that works? You're going to sue the parents of the murderer? Anyone that dies can go after the parents of a killer/murderer? Geeze that's just stupid.

I don't remember police of being accused of any wrong doing, so I'm not sure what they were awarded that either.
I could see the parents though, because didn't they help with some of the coverup and withheld information? They weren't very cooperative. I get it, who wants to help with the murder case against their son. Maybe not a wrongful death suit, because they weren't responsible for her death, but some other lawsuit for their actions that lead to this being drug out longer and all the unnecessary pain created.

The suit stated that the police should have identified a problem and provided safety to Gabby instead of turning her loose with Brian when they were pulled over.

It's a tough one. If you have two adults telling you everything is fine what do you do?

Got a link?

I just googled, and only see them getting $3m from Laundrie's estate.

I see another where they filed a suit 2 weeks ago against an officer from the Moab PD for $50M, but don't see anything about a $3M settlement from law enforcement.

AACK! I heard the news wrong. They were awarded 3million Wrongful death suit from the Laundries which I think is absolutely stupid.

Yes they filed for 50M against UTAH police for "wrongful death" also.

Either way I don't agree with either one of these and the parents getting sued held up? They wouldn't have wanted me on that jury.

There wasn't a jury. The two families came to a settlement.

WHAT? That is even more absurd.

EDIT: I went back to read this again and make sure I got everything now. It says there is ANOTHER suit filed against the family that says Laundrie’s parents wrongly concealed that he confessed to killing Petito before he returned home in September 2021 to Florida from their trip out West in a converted van.

HughFreakingDillon · November 2022

how do you award wrongful death when all they did was conceal that she had already been killed?

Gern Blansten · November 2022

So it was Gabby's estate suing Brian's estate. Not sure what his estate is worth though.

Apparently since they have another lawsuit or the Laundries lawyer agreed to do it because they hide or file their money away or maybe they have no kids left and will donate their money to the lawsuit?

So yeah, I do have questions even more now. It is just like I said though, absurd.

They actually have a second lawsuit trying to find that one out.

Is it absurd if they indeed prevented Petito's parents from facing their daughter's killer & seeing him brought to justice?

Here's a thought: maybe don't help your son evade authorities when he's wanted in connection w/ the murder of his girlfriend.

It's your own kid. That's one way of looking at it. You do what you can to keep them safe but I don't know if it's like that considering they let him go off on a death march into the forest.

I still don't see how Laundrie offing himself instead of facing a jury is worth money?

justice/closure for Gabby's loved ones.

& regarding your last point.... the two parties involved saw how it was worth money, and they agreed it was worth $3M. The Laundries chose that option over this lawsuit going to trial.

Its not surprising that they agreed. I'm sure there was a lot of thought and financial advice put into it. A high profile case like this that would probably go on for months would cost lots in defending (probably a lot less than 3 million though)
But also the toll of a case like this going public, the news coverage, going through all the details publicly, etc. Probably would wind up losing their house anyway. So why not agree to 3 million, pay what portion you can and declare bankruptcy or whatever they need to do? I mean, OJ has paid almost nothing to the Goldmans, so they may not have any intention of paying.

They aren't suing the parents because he killed himself. They're suing the parents for allegedly concealing that he confessed to the murder.

It's in the AP article I linked:

"The lawsuit involving the estates of Petito and Laundrie, filed in May, claimed Laundrie was liable for damages because he caused her death. A separate lawsuit, still pending in Sarasota, claims Laundrie’s parents wrongly concealed that he confessed to killing Petito before he returned home in September 2021 to Florida from their trip out West in a converted van."

https://apnews.com/article/lawsuits-climate-and-environment-7159613db87ca608141d264fb1723c08

If they indeed concealed his confession, then they helped their son avoid facing the consequences of his actions. The reasons for the lawsuit seem pretty cut & dry to me. Whether there's any truth to the allegations, well.... we'll have to stay tuned I guess.

& regarding your last point.... the two parties involved saw how it was worth money, and they agreed it was worth $3M. The Laundries chose that option over this lawsuit going to trial.

They let their own kid go out to die in the woods so they didn't protect him too well.

Yes they agreed to a sum, I don't get why. The second lawsuit doesn't make sense to me is where this is going. They want to sue the parents for him killing himself and not facing a trial? Yeah, I don't get why you want to keep on revisiting this wound?

They aren't suing the parents because he killed himself. They're suing the parents for allegedly concealing that he confessed to the murder.

It's in the AP article I linked:

"The lawsuit involving the estates of Petito and Laundrie, filed in May, claimed Laundrie was liable for damages because he caused her death. A separate lawsuit, still pending in Sarasota, claims Laundrie’s parents wrongly concealed that he confessed to killing Petito before he returned home in September 2021 to Florida from their trip out West in a converted van."

If they indeed concealed his confession, then they helped their son avoid facing the consequences of his actions. The reasons for the lawsuit seem pretty cut & dry to me. Whether there's any truth to the allegations, well.... we'll have to stay tuned I guess.

I'm wording it different. The family, if they concealed they knew, did let their son go out on his own terms and the Petito family is upset that they didn't get their justice. So, yes, they are suing because he killed himself pretty much.
