SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - A mediation hearing in the civil suit against the family of Brian Laundrie by the parents of Gabby Petito will happen Wednesday. CNN News reports that the parents of Gabby Petito will be in court for the hearing. Nichole Schmidt and Joseph Petito are suing Chris and Roberta Laundrie for emotional distress in relation to her death during a 2021 road trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. The FBI says before taking his own life, Brian Laundrie wrote in a notebook he was responsible for his fiancée’s death. Patrick J. Reilly, attorney for the parents of Gabby Petito, questioned Bertolino about his statement released that Reilly alleges gave false hope that Gabby was still alive.
