The parents of Brian Laundrie have filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit which alleged they knew their son killed Gabby Petito in Aug. 2021, with their attorney calling the lawsuit 'baseless and frivolous'
Petito's body was found Sept. 19 at a campground near Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming. A coroner determined the 22-year-old died about three weeks earlier of"blunt-force injuries to the head and neck, with manual strangulation."
FBI officials said Laundrie had admitted to killing Petito in a notebook that was found near his body. Laundrie had also sent text messages to intentionally deceive people that Petito was still alive after he beat and strangled her in late August, according to a statement released by the FBI in Denver.
The suit from the Petito family claims that once the official search for Petito was underway and before her remains were found, the Laundrie family refused to respond to questions from law enforcement and Petito’s family. The suit claims Roberta Laundrie blocked Schmidt’s phone number and blocked her on Facebook around the time Petito was reported missing.
