JUST IN: A judge has awarded Gabby Petito's family $3 million in a wrongful death lawsuit filed after authorities concluded he strangled her during a cross-country trip in August 2021.
The settlement was signed Thursday by Sarasota County Circuit Judge Hunter W. Carroll. A lawyer for Petito's parents said whatever money is received will go to the“The Petito family lost their daughter and they were also denied the opportunity to confront her killer,” said attorney Patrick Reilly in an email. “No amount of money is sufficient to compensate the Petito family for the loss of their daughter, Gabby, at the hands of Brian Laundrie.
The lawsuit involving the estates of Petito and Laundrie, filed in May, claimed Laundrie was liable for damages because he caused her death. , 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.Petito’s disappearance on the trip and the subsequent discovery of her slain bodyin a Wyoming national park became a national obsession, which continued during the weekslong search for Laundrie in a swampy Florida nature preserve.
His remains were found there in October 2021 and investigators say he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound andIt's highly unlikely Laundrie's estate has $3 million. Reilly called it “an arbitrary number” but that the Petito foundation would benefit from whatever amount is collected. “Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt wish to turn their personal tragedy into a positive,” Reilly said.
