The families of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie have reached a $3 million settlement to avoid a trial for the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the victim’s parents against the murderer’s estate.
The trial was set to begin in December, but a Sarasota County judge signed off on the agreement between the two families to give whatever money remained in Laundrie’s estate to the Gabby Petito Foundation.
“The Petito family lost their daughter, and they were also denied the opportunity to confront her killer,” Patrick Reilly, the lawyer for Petito’s parents, said in a statement. “No amount of money is sufficient to compensate the Petito family for the loss of their daughter, Gabby, at the hands of Brian Laundrie. Brian did not have $3 million; it’s an arbitrary number. Whatever monies they do receive will help Gabby’s family in their endeavors with the Gabby Petito Foundation.
Reilly continued, “Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt wish to turn their personal tragedy into a positive. It is their hope that Gabby’s foundation will bring these important issues into the forefront of the public eye to the benefit of all our communities.”the lawsuit that Petito’s parents filed against Laundrie’s parents
; in that lawsuit, filed roughly eight months after Gabby’s Aug. 2021 murder, her parents, Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, accused Brian’s parents Christopher and Roberta Laundrie of “shocking, atrocious and utterly intolerable” actions that caused them to “suffer pain and suffering, mental anguish” and the “loss of capacity for enjoyment of life.”
