🔴 NOT LEGAL ADVICE - Розваги
The sad thing is, is that if the Laundries had done what was morally right they may still have their son. If he had been arrested his suicide may have been thwarted. As a parent I’d rather visit my child in prison than their gravesite. Unfortunately that is no solace to Gabby’s family.
I think that weekend family get together was well known to them to be the end, one way or another.
🎯🎯👏
I don’t think they would of been able to handle a trial as high profile that one would of been
Brian's suicide was also preventable if the FBI hadn't mistaken him for Roberta when he finally left the house with his mom's car.
I said the exact same thing.
If I called my parents and told them my boyfriend/fiance was 'gone', their immediate response would have been, "What do you mean gone?" and the conversation would not move on until I gave them the answer. Plus, if I drove home in his van, w/o him, they would have been all over me like bees on honey. I don't believe that the parents didn't think of murder/death immediately when he came back driving her van and him saying Gabby was 'gone'. Just my opinion.
And we know they asked too. This is all bs. Their lawyer warned them THAT SECOND to play dumb & say nothing. I hope Wyoming or Feds go after him for using his legal knowledge to help Brian (& parents) cover up a crime & obstruct justice ~ think of all the wasted money on the search to find Gabby. The only reason she was found was that youtube van life couple.
I agree with you.
Absolutely agree
@@CrazyMomma007he took the cowards way out to save himself & his family.
And if "gone" as in walking away because of an argument, then the son would've "stolen" Gaby's van to drive back home across county to parents house and yet the Laundries still didn't think an answer needed for that action leaving her stranded? So of course it was known early from the phone call their son murdered Gaby, i.e., the criminal lawyer, the taking of the van, the incriminating letter from the mother. Yuck. Just horrible people, truly horrible. I don't understand why the Laundries were not prosecuted for aiding and abetting a criminal or at least withholding evidence or how about plotting to commit a crime via the letter? Yeah, it's no wonder why Gaby's parents are suing for whatever can fly in court. Perhaps eye for an eye is not law, but taking one to court is justice served, expressly if they can win.
His mom's dismissive 'not my child not my problem' attitude in the face of their frantic desperate search and loss is what makes me the most mad. Is it illegal? Likely not. Does it feel WRONG? Definitely yes.
His mom’s natural desire to protect her child at all cost seems completely normal
I don’t believe them. If my son was frantic, said his fiancee was gone I would presume a big fight and wedding off. I would ask where she was and how she was doing….but as soon as he asked for a lawyer…then the context totally changed and I would ask what happened? What did you do? Where is she? How is she? Is she ok? I don’t believe they didn’t do that.
You realize that their family is not “normal” right? Can we please stop pretending they should have done what WE would have? They’re toxic and dysfunctional… which sucks but some families DO act like this.
As a parent. Gabbie lived at their home. He wasn't acting in his normal manner. Calling and saying I need a lawyer. Not asking 1 question when he comes home alone with her van without her. That is suspicious to me.
And we only have their word for it that they didn't ask questions or know anything. Brian is dead. He can't refute anything they say.
It came out in the depositions that Gabby moved all her belongings out of their home prior to the trip which I find interesting
Sometimes, the question is not asked because you do not want to know the answer.
Laundries are not telling the truth. Contradiction is evident. As a parent there is no way my son or daughter wouldn’t say why they need help and eventually “gone” would be explained though I would have assumed. I doubt I would hire a criminal lawyer without knowing why but hard putting myself in that situation. Horrible situation. I feel so strongly for Gabbys parents. Crazy depo. He arrived home in Gabbys van no gabby, camping and still don’t know why he needed a lawyer? No excuses…they did know! Ugh! This case hit me hard especially emotionally. Huge distress imo.
How would she have felt if situation was reversed and they didn’t get any answers or communication about where their son was?
you dont need a lawyer if she just walked away
Wait so the mum essentially shrugged and said Gabbys family could jump on a plane and look for their own daughter ... when they didn't even know she was missing yet!?
Thank you! That statement was most disgusting & also seems cruel & emotionally destructive, I mean, THEY knew Brian was calling from Jackson something Wyoming yet refused to tell law enforcement, Gabby's parents or anyone where she went "gone" from~ yet thinks they could just go fly where? Last text said Yosemite...so they wouldn't find her there. Roberta is a bad person imo. I totally believe she wrote Brian that letter after he returned & they knew he was running away & helped him.
OMG what did they think?? Weeks or days would go by and eventually they guessed Gabby wasn’t coming home. So then they fly out to find her. That mom must have silicone in her heart. No feeling…
I mean, they could have. If they were worried about her so much that they were relying on them to Facebooking them, they should have got on a plane.
Roberta is a wretched human being 😢
@@gagecarlsen3872and go where? They had no clue where she was!
I totally feel like they are lying!! Very cold hearted people!!
In my house, I would sit my child down and say if you want my help I
you need to tell me exactly, truthfully what happened.
Yes!!!
But he was several states away, a couple thousand miles and he called them. If my child called me, frantic, thousands of miles away and insisting he needs a lawyer (assuming this is grossly unusual behavior for him) I would very likely hire a lawyer as requested.
Maybe they did? You’ll never know because it’s their right! They don’t owe anyone an explanation. You don’t know what they know or don’t know or what Brian told them or what really transpired.
@@gagecarlsen3872Concealing a murder is nobody's right.
You have no idea how you would react. You would like to think you know, but until you're in the situation, you never truly know.
I think the Laundries lied a lot in these depositions. "I don't know. I don't know. I don't know." Some things are just common sense.
"Uh, yuh know, uh yuh know, uh, uh, yuh know" ---- no, we don't know.
@Peter, if the Laundries didn't think Brian hurt Gabby then why would he need a defense attorney for Wyoming? Apparently they knew what he did and hired Bertillino to help. They contradicted themselves and no one caught it!
Cause maybe something happened and they knew he was going to be accused of what he’s been accused of. Everyone has a right to get an attorney. Especially if you’re innocent. Not saying he is, but no one we’ll ever know. Doesn’t make him guilty though..
@@gagecarlsen3872Brian admitted to killing her, so yeah we DO know. And if you’re referring to the parent then we don’t use the term “innocent” because this isn’t a criminal trial. The word would be “liable”.
You're right. Only guilty people hire criminal defense lawyers, so anyone who asks for a defense attorney can just be jailed without any further process. Great idea.
@@alphalupi2022 Everyone can hire a crimiinal defense lawyer, but the innocent don't generally hire the attorney before the case has even been reported to law enforcement and in this context we know he is guilty.
I think the Laundries are lying
Based upon what specifically? Speculation? As far as I know, there is no evidence to support your statement. Did the Laundrie parents follow their attorney's advice and not discuss what happened with their son? Yes.
@@billbarrett6285 I think they're lying as well based off their son telling them she was gone and him needing a lawyer that required a $25,000 retainer. That is a retainer for a serious criminal case. They had to have known she was deceased. If would be implausible to believe his parents would not have pushed to know more details during that frantic conversation where Brian said she was gone, but without any further questions paid the retainer.
Brian didn't believe Gabbys body would be found - it was pure luck by the other van life couple. By saying Gabby "was gone" he was distancing himself from the crime. Why would the Laundries pay their lawwyer a $25 k retainer if they didn't believe it was super serious. C'mon...
Nothing will convince me they didn't know. They even went on a camping trip together. Probably becayse they knew what Brian did and they knew what he was going to do! They found him in like 12min when people had been searching for weeks. They knew it all!
I don't have kids, but if my sister calls me, for arguments sake let's say they're away from home, camping in a national park, and frantically tells me her husband's gone, I wouldn't assume that means she killed him, I would assume that means she's come back to camp expecting to find him, and she can't find him. So my first question would be "Where are you?" because I need context, and I need to know where I'M going so I can be by her side while she looks for him. Then I would ask "have you called the police? don't listen to them if they say you have to wait 24 hours you can file a missing person's report right now." And you SHOULD file a missing persons report, and I will be out the door on my way to be by her side. Because I love my sister, and I love my brother in law, and my first thought is "WE have to find him."
Also I would think my sister wouldn't be so vague as to just say "My husband's gone" and then not elaborate. If she's frantic, I assume that means he's missing. I assume that means she's going to go look for him and she needs help to look for him, which again is why I ask "where are you?" Because when you imply that someone is gone, ie missing, the first thing most people think is, "well let's FIND THEM together."
This was my first thought way back when we first heard this. I understand it would depend on the inner workings of each person’s relationship and speech etc but yeah I wouldn’t think my daughter had killed her boyfriend because she called me and said he’s gone. Honestly I’d think they broke up and now we are going to need to go get her so she doesn’t drive a mess. Maybe if she was frantic knowing they were camping then like you that would mean “missing”. Like you I’d be taking charge to be sure the missing person was filed immediately and to make sure she is safe until I get there. I wouldn’t think my child murdered someone. It’s possible though that they knew their son was violent and their relationship was toxic and they knew what he meant. We’ll probably never truly know BUT I’m with you on what would be the first thought. This is such a legally vs morally case and I can’t say I’d feel any different if it were my child who is “gone”.
Watching on Replay, i don't think a jury should be expected to not be emotional in this instance, i think it should be down to a Judge to look at this, just through the eyes of the law, then come to the right conclusion.
I can't begin to comment on either set of parents , being a parent i don't even for a second want to put myself into eithers shoes x
Amen, friend.
You know your a fan of LYK when you start the video and say "what's up everybody" before Peter lol
😂yes! Every time.
I think the shittiest part is that his mother isn’t saying “the lawyer advised us to butt out” - it would still be gross but it would at least sound like they were lost and worried. But she says she thought gabby was fine being abandoned across country. That’s what really drives it home that they just didn’t give a damn about her.
They don't have to say anything. That's the beauty of America.
Who said abandoned? If anything, they thought she left on her own or was murdered.
@@EverFox-cw2hoThe problem is that they did say something. If they had remained silent this lawsuit wouldn’t exist.
@@astrammd in her responses to the questions his mother says she thought gabby could “take care of herself” and she was only worried about her son driving home - hence he abandoned her across country.
@@EverFox-cw2ho ahhh but they DID say something. That’s exactly the problem. The other beauty of America is that there are consequences for things. Free speech doesn’t mean free from consequences - hell it’s not even about the public - it’s about the government not suppressing the press’s right to print things.
The Dirty Laundry’s are totally lying IMO… Gabby bought the van, not Bryan. They did not report Bryan missing for several days (they were hoping for him to get away or they wouldn’t have collected his car. They hid the van in their garage. And on and on and on.
Peter, as always, I appreciate the systematic and agony way you analyze these depositions and occasionally step back to tell us how you, as a lawyer, read these statements. It's very disciplined. Thanks.
Brian Laundrie might be alive today if his parents had done the morally right thing by finding out exactly what happened and then informed the Petitos. Or they find out what exactly happened when Brian called home frantically and urged him to turn himself in to the Wyoming authorities.
Brian is a narcissist which means one or both of his parents is too (hence how he developed it). So we can wish they did things differently but narcs will always be impulsive, dangerous, and emotionally inept. Things worked out exactly as expected considering.
Nobody…. wouldn’t not find out or at least tried to get it out of him, when he drove home in her van..
Exactly
I have the utmost respect for you... That mustache is somewhere b/t Freddie Mercury & Grouch Marks....☺️
I thought Burt Reynolds entered the chat!
😂 I’m glad someone else addressed it. Not my favorite look. Love his salt & pepper look.
Very Freddy Mercury!
Probably should have gotten rid of mustache too 😂
A good ’stache is timeless…love it!
I loved the gray in your beard.😢
Me too….it looked distinguished. It’s difficult to get used to just moustache.
Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice. Proverbs 24:17.
My heart breaks for both families.
Even the family that covered a murder for their son. Ok....
Wise words 🥰
Who is gloating? Seeking justice is not gloating.
The answer from the Mom that bothers me is Brian called Family to get a lawyer, but never asked if he notified the police. Then, just loving him, hugging him from the Mom. I would be brow beating my kid to find out what happened. Most parents would. You can ask but still protect your child.
Im a parent of 3 boys and i will & would support them and back them completely, if any of them did this they would be turned over to the police.
So either the laundries didn’t ask any questions for the whole time? He lied to his parents all that time? But they got him a defense attorney in WY, and although they claim they didn’t know more than ‘she is gone’ why would they not talk to the petitos and block them? I think that their story is inconsistent with them not knowing because if they really thought she had just taken a break from Brian they would have just said so
Because they can. It’s not the law to not block someone..
@@gagecarlsen3872OP didn’t say it was against the law?
Fair point OP! If they just thought they’d broken up, they’d have just said that to the petitos. Easy peasy
I think there is a correlation between the parenting “style “ of the Laundries and Ethan Crumblie’s parents. The total, deliberate blindness to, and determination NOT to see their child’s character and actions.
The horror for the Laundrie’s must be, that had they encouraged Brian to take responsibility for Gabby’s death, he would possibly be in jail, but not dead.
Of course we can’t know this for sure, but it must haunt them terribly.
Also, there obviously came a point, with the Petito’s publicly begging for information on Gabby from the Laundrie’s and the masses of people chanting “Where’s Gabby??” Right outside their home for days and nights on end, that it MUST have occurred to them that Gabby wasn’t just on her own hiking in various National Parks, but that Brian had done something horrific. That Gabby had to be dead…
When did that understanding wash over them???
I love my child more than anything!!!
But I do believe that if you keep your child from experiencing the consequences of their actions from a young age, it is NOT healthy for them!!
We saw Brian’s arrogance, entitlement, and belittling scorn for Gabby, and confidence in his own “charm” to talk himself out of any consequence, even when it was seen and reported that he beat Gabby publicly!!!
And he continued with his glib dismissal of Gabby and her feelings , even to the police!!!
This is completely observable in the Moab Police body cam footage.
Brian got this arrogance from somewhere!
I do think the Petitos want the details of this tragedy to be made public. And they don’t want to let the Laundrie’s off the hook for their egregious behavior, legal or not!!! be made public
The phenomenon you’re referencing is narcissism. Think back to aiden fucci too where his mom straight up his evidence to protect her psychopath killer kid. The parents are narcissists so that’s why their kids are not only so F’d up, but it’s why the parents cover for the kids. My dad was a narc and so I know their type very well. They consider their children as extensions of themselves, so they won’t ever allow their kids to look bad, because they believe it reflects on them. Same thing for the mother of one of the columbine kids- she refuses to admit any fault in raising a psychopath and now tours the country giving lectures on mental health when she’s clearly a narcissist herself. Roughly 1/6 people are narcissists. And if they have kids… that can and does often turn out very badly. At least one of their kids is bound to inherit their genes and temperament for NPD
She lived with this family. This is probably not first time he abused her and the parents may have known . I believe that should be a question the Laundry should answer has their son hit her before.
If the Launries dodn't know Gabby was dead, what is their excuse for not trying to find out from Brain where shd was last seen and trying tto provide information to the Petitos to enable them to locate Gabby who could have been wandering in the wild and in danger? They did NOTHING to suggest she was alive and well or helped locate her. That speaks volumes.
But you can deliberately avoid getting information so that you don’t know for sure. I guess it matters to define what we mean by “know” she dead. If we’re talking about them knowing because he specifically told them, that’s one thing. It’s another thing for them to “know” without him telling them because they can put 2 and 2 together. And in that case, it’s perfectly plausible that they deliberately avoiding “knowing” any specifics. I don’t think they’re trying to convince anyone that they hired him a lawyer, there was this whole investigation trying to find her and what happened to her, he had her van, her family was frantic and it never once crossed their minds that it was possible she was dead. Like obviously it’s serious if his criminal defence attorney is telling them not to discuss it with him. But it’s very possible given all the obvious indicators that he had done something really horrific, they deliberately made sure not to know any details.
They deserve the same empathy we are offering Wendi Adelson for not speaking out about a murder she was clearly involved in.
Peter , did u hear that the person who identified Brian was his uncle ( his dentist) ? Also I can’t help but find it quite odd that Brian’s parents didn’t ask what happened when Brian asked for a lawyer ! Wouldn’t any parent say , what do we need a lawyer for Brian ?? People who have nothing to hide , hide nothing. I feel in my gut they knew exactly what happened. I also believe it was quite odd that the laundries found their son ! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Bryan is dead. Gabby's family will never get the justice they are looking for. Its an unfortunate, sad, heartbreaking situation and as a parent, my heart goes out to *ANYONE* who has lost a child. Its every parents worst nightmare.
*BUT...* What will money do to bring them any justice and closure? Bryan can never be prosecuted.
Why would her parents want to relive this nightmare over and over again with these lawsuits just for the possibility of getting a big payday? 🤔
They are claiming that Bryan's parents caused them emotional distress. Well, isnt it emotionally destressing to relive this for years?
You think that they don't relive the death of their daughter every single day!! It's not about the money- It's about Gabby... it's cruel to suggest that they are looking for a 'payday'... you Americans love charging accomplice's... Ethan Crumbley killed 4 people but they still convicted his mum.... weird nation
Very well said! My sentiments exactly!
My guess is that they are trying to litigate the death of
Gabby through suing the parents. To go through discovery and get answers to what does the parents know and get closure.
They're probably angry and want to punish Brian's family because they can't punish him. I don't blame them. If it was my daughter I'd have done a lot worse than sue them.
They aren’t looking for a big payday. Any funds awarded are going to her foundation.
Gosh! This case sure is dragging on. Can’t imagine how the Petitos must feel. Yet….we all are still hangin in there along with the Petitos.
The petitos brought the lawsuit, they are in control of their own feelings - imagine how the Laundries feel too
What's up Luigi
“Gabby’s gone” and “I need a [criminal] lawyer”; 2 + 2 = ??
And… what were they supposed to do?
Maybe she tripped and hit her head and died and he knew no one would believe it. We will never know. And you don’t know what was told or what really happened. The only two that do are Brian and gabby and they’re gone. We don’t know what his parents know. And we don’t know what was told to them..end of story! It’s bad. But they didn’t kill gabby. The only one who possibly killed her is dead so life goes on unfortunately. Maybe gabby is gone could have meant she ran away! Or left him. 20 year olds get dramatic with their relationships. They could have thought they broke up for all they knew.
There is a difference between seeking justice and seeking vengeance.
If Mr Petito is seeking vengeance, I’m afraid he will be disappointed no matter how things turn out. Vengeance is never as satisfying as one imagines it will be.
It’s tragic all the way around. 😕
I think the point in suing them is to set a precedent: don't make statements that hold out hope when you know it's a lie. THAT is cruel & is emotional abuse. Roberta said she was worried 1st abt Brian & thought Gabby's parents could fly out & check on her.... fly WHERE? Roberta & Chris , & all people, not just parents, should be required to tell authorities where an injured/missing person might be, imo. But bare minimum, not lie abt holding hope said person will return when you know that's impossible: Bertolino knew it was impossible, as did Roberta & Chris. In the future ppl should know this is cruel & abusive & just stay silent.
I'm older. When I think back in the years, I sought serious vengeance 3 times in my life. Each time I was wildly successful against the person and I still feel Great about what I did to this day. So, everyone is different
😊
I think they are seeking truth, who can fault that?
Gabby is the one who wanted to go traveling for her blog and decked the van out to do so. Why did the parents think he owned the van when she was going traveling with or without Brian.
There’s no way they thought he owned it nor had the right to drive it home without her.
Catching you after the fact...thanks for summary reports on this case. Enjoy your channel❤
This is really ludicrous to me… the Petitos are hurt and grieving but no excuse to be going after the Laundries. They didn’t kill her.
They're trying to get answers about what they know. That's all they can get at this point.
They want money from them
@@bingbang658 it's going to their foundation. Not a money grab. They just want answers. They might be successful or they might not!
Imo, legally they did not have to tell her parents what they knew, but morally they should have. The question is, does the court want to uphold "immoral" behavior? Do we as a society want to send that kind of signal? I think no. I think we want people to do the right thing even if it's difficult.
Replay crew here Peter😊 thanking you so much for this video…I hadn’t known very much about this case previously…you’ve made me want to do some research to catch up🙏….another absolute tragedy all round🥲🙏😊
I like how Riley kept asking the Laundries if they had memory issues? I also felt that the Laundries didn't have much of a relationship with their son.
From what Peter has read, it appears they had a real good idea what had happened no matter what they claim.
And regardless, they used their rights, and they can’t be punished for that. 🤷♂️ everyone can think of them as the devil but we will never know and if they are punished for using their rights then it’s a scary slippery slope for all of us. Especially the innocent!
I respect defence lawyers now thanks to Peter because I used to think generally they were sleazy! But now I see them in a different light. Look, the Laundries made a mistake withholding information which was wrong, but my heart goes out to them for the loss of their son, and my heart goes out for the Petitos for the loss of their daughter. It's a very messy situation, and now money is involved. Most every parent wants to protect their child, good, bad, or indifferent!
I’ve known a few. They were great people. Firm believers in the whole process. Without really good defense attorneys the whole system would fail.
It takes good defense attorneys to keep prosecutors on their toes. And that’s exactly what is needed. Try and poke holes in the prosecution’s case. Try and get reasonable doubt. That just assures that the prosecution has a good case and does a good job.
What’s up Rewatch crew.!!!!!!!!Peter if my son goes on a road trip with his girlfriend. Then he calls me and says She’s “GONE” Get me a lawyer. I know he did something wrong. Then shows up without her. And the police are looking for her. I’m telling my son to turn himself in. It’s the only decent thing to do. He could have turned himself in while he was still in Wyoming if he cared about her, and remained silent. I would not be able to sleep knowing my son left her or hurt her. Gone is Gone. Donate and pledge Is different.
Thank you so much for all the breakdowns.
I try to put myself in others shoes, and I would like to think I would request my lawyer to let the Petito parents know their child was no longer alive. I would never stop loving my child, but if they were to do something such as this, I would try to do as much right by the parents who lost their life as I could without turning against my child. I certainly don’t see myself condoning or not accepting something so horrible.
This is how I feel also. I could never imagine being in their shoes. I also could never imagine watching the other family desperately searching and I know where she is. I can’t wrap my head around any of it.
@@EveryThingIsTakenWTF yes but to me, lying and hiding their son is absolutely enabling his behavior and not taking responsibility for his actions. I tell my kids if you get arrested, call your daddy or plan on being in jail for the night depending on what you’ve done. If they are innocent, then that’s another story. But the Laundries knew what he did, hid him and blatantly lied through their attorney. I also believe the police should have went into that home and arrested him before him running off to be a coward and and himself as well. But we all make choices, and I would absolutely hope that I would also care about and speak to the other parent and let them know I don’t condone this but this happened and here is where she is. If they had done that, as in the Laundries, hence he wouldn’t have had the chance to sneak away and off himself to take the cowardly way out. Just my opinion.
Thank you, Peter. I agree 100% with everything you stated as your position.
You have the right to remain silent and when they say anything you say can and will be used against you... believe that
You have the right to remain silent when you’ve been arrested for a crime. Where can you remain silent if you know a crime has been committed? That’s accessory after the fact.
@@GlamGam1964not really. If you lie to the police then it’s accessory. Simply knowing of a crime and not speaking about it is not illegal.
I appreciate the legal and honest personal views you share with diplomacy. 👍🏻 Tough events.
Thank you for going over this. You are great.
My question is what is the Florida law if they knew he killed her? Is it legal to keep hiding him? I personally think the Laundries are liars- I think they knew
Like that your beard is gone. You do look much younger and like your mustache. Switching it up is good 👍
This session was fantastic, but I had to be on the rewatch crew. Thank you as always, Peter, in explaining the reasons for this depisition and upcoming civil trial. The way things went with the parents was so unfortunate leaving Gabby's parents out in the cold, but I understand a bit more now. I, too, think the LEs in Mohab? should have done more, but we shall see
If Brian was my son i would have guessed he did something to her. I definitely would have asked him wtf he need a lawyer for.
Also, i noticed that on Nicole's part there was no proof or concern the Laundries were trying to send Bryan away. There seems to be backpedalling on Gabby's parents' part.
Hello Peter, thanks so much for covering this. Haven’t had much time for UA-cam lately. Good to hear your take on it and always appreciate your non-bias take. My prayers are always going to be with Gabby’s family. They seem like decent people and we all share in their loss, pain and frustration with the Laundries.
So glad you are not saying "it sets a bad precedent" as it relates to Adam Montgomery.
Thank you for expertise and thoughts.
The lawyer you know it should be the best Judge for this case if would be! He is so true in all his comments and personal opinions! He should be the Mr. Petito’ s lawyer so he could legally advise the family 🙏🏼Great Lawyer 👏👏Great video
If the Laundrie’s did not think they were hurting the Petito family (who were hysterical, not knowing where their daughter was) & supposedly loved their daughter too, there is a lie present. These parents did not teach their son to be responsible for his actions instead they assisted in hiding their son’s responsibility.
You look like the dad from This is Us
And that’s a good thing 😉
All I can say is, Roberta Laundrie is a piece work. Nothing normal about her.
You are awesome Magnum!
Everyone needs to let this go. Grieve for the loss of those they love and move forward. Nothing will bring anyone back and dragging this out isn’t going to make anyone feel better. When it’s all over, they are still going to hurt.
If this were your kid, would you just let it go? Our “justice” system is messed up. That is why this case has so much attention. Gabby was eventually located because of other good people doing the right thing. Not the Laundries. Not the police. And the police and the Laundries allowed Brian to get out of their sight and kill himself. This is not about hurt, this is about trying to change how things are done.
If the issue is with the “justice” system it seems unnecessary to prosecute the parents of the perpetrator.
I agree with your thoughts on Joe Petitos depo. It's unfortunate he spoke from his heart instead of his mind, on their intentions of the suit. I'm sure there were more reasons but that is the one that will hurt their case as you explained. In reality tho, many times dragging someone through the dirt is what civil cases are about, in addition to $$....Thanks for covering the story!
The case is 100% frivolous. They tried to sue for them staying silent. Then they are suing for them saying they hope they find her. Laundries should counter sue.
That was my reaction, too. If he said “I want answers. I want the truth to come out. I want Justice for my daughter.” He also understandably wants them to hurt like he is hurting. At the point of Brian being missing and then found dead, I imagine the Laundries got to that state. Very sad case all around, with morality and legality very different things.
Their silence also cost the tax payers millions.
Their silence is a right that you have just as much as them..
Their silence cost them their sons life
Yup but it’s not illegal. As much as I want them to lose this case, I just don’t think it’s gunna happen. They have a legal right to remain silent, no matter how much that sucks for everyone else.
So great to start the week with your awesome insight and commentary on this complicated and sad case. Thanks Peter! Have a great day everyone.
I feel for both sets of parents in this case. This has to be devastating to all of them. I don't think Brian's parents did anything wrong legally. Who knows how to act in that situation? It was horrible all the way around. IMO seeking legal advice and following it shouldn't be punished. I hope they all can find healing and forgiveness in the future.
Right!? To me it seems like a bit of displacement. The person responsible for the tragedy is not available for confrontation but the grief and anger demands confrontation. So they go after his parents instead.

I just can't get on board with the Laundreis. I remember very well how they acted. I can't fathom the idea that they didn't ask Brian exactly what happened before they blindly got him a lawyer. If you need a lawyer, something has gone seriously wrong. Had they been firm with him from the start and not gone on a camping trip when he returned (which is absurd given the circumstances) I believe he would still be alive so that Gabby and her family could get justice.
Nice to hear someone else shares my opinion on this case.
Replay crew. I understand your atty saying to stay quiet but at some point you have to put 1+1 and realize what's happening. Denial is a wonderful place to be and this family dug their heels in deep. Hoping everything goes fairly for both families 🙏
Great coverage!
I’m liking the clean cut look. That stash is giving me and Hutch vibes
Someone who cares would at least let the parents know just say "Brian came back without Gabby, maybe you should try to get in touch with her because we are worried" at least let them know where to look for her. Then to have video of him smiling and having a good time while Gabby is missing.
Maybe he told them that she took off. Just saying, we’ll never know the story.
Yes, some good, in awareness, has come from this.
Bring back the beard! Salt & peppa is such a cool look!!
Even if these parents knew their son killed Gabby. The parents aren't to be blamed for their son's actions. If these parents would have been up front with Gabbys parents this wouldn't be an issue.
They caused extreme emotional distress just by excluding Gabby's parents.
It's just so very sad. Quite often grieving parents find fighting and anger is easier to live with than acceptance that they have lost their baby and i can completely understand that.
It is very sad and I think the Laundries will appear far more sympathetic to a jury than people seem to believe. Can you imagine a lawyer hammering the mother in front of a jury like was done in these depos? They have a deceased kid too.
To me it actually looks like the plaintiffs are beating up the defendants.
Wait if they didn’t know what happen and just that gabby was gone then how did they know to hire an attorney
EXACTLY!
Hopes this wasn't a live been working like crazy lately but trying to watch what i can and will always throw a hit to that like button
💯
My son is seeing a very sweet girl right now, that I like a lot, and I'm confident her parents have the ability to help her out of a jam, and I know she can take care of herself, and even still if I got a "Mom, something happened" phone call, my first two questions, "Are you Ok?" and "Where is [girl]?" It's basic human compassion, I'd certainly think.
Sadly, the Petitos have settled for $3M. Is it true that no criminal charges can be laid against the Laundries, Bertolino or Brian in future due to this settlement?
I don’t not believe the Laundries for a second. The fact that he called them panicked saying he needed a defence Attorney and then Gabby is missing how would they not have known… I feel like anyone could put those 2 together. In my opinion the parents knew what happened and helped Brian
You look great, do what you like, it’s always fun to change your looks ❣️❣️
I think the parents knew! I think he told them! There is no way in hell I’m going to hire an attorney for my any of my children without knowing what the hell I’m hiring them for!!!!
This is when Jury I would not want to be on.
We learned that told her mom about Moab incident but according to the Laundries Brian did not.
It is hard, Peter, but if your son is capable of murdering the love of his life, then he is capable of doing it again. As heartbreaking as it would be, I would feel safer if he spent his life or a good portion of it in prison, and would have turned him in if he wasn’t able to do it himself and then find him a good attorney to get him through.
Y'all did Bryan have a job? I know that Gabby's dad said she saved for the van. How did they think the van was his?
Clean shaven makes you look even better if that's possible lol. I always wonder what a guy is hiding under facial hair; receding chin, double chin etc ect.. You rock
Some of use makeup others facial hair.
your frantic in wyoming, northport your okay. nothing wrong. something not right here!
Exactly
I am dying for a Membership 😅
Thanks for doing this live. I rarely catch any of the live streams, even though I have the "notifications on".
As far as the mustache, you do you, Peter! IMO, besides you, your wife is the only person who might have a right to say anything about your look, Lol.
That being said, I did like the beard. But, I'm sure I'll adjust to your new facial hair.
What parents wouldn’t say, what do you mean gone? Calm down and tell me what happened….
I don’t believe a word they are saying- they are no longer protecting Brian, they are protecting themselves and it’s so wrong!
In fairness, Chris said he asked Brian a few times about the "she's gone" comment but Brian said nothing.
I find it hard to believe they didn't speak with each other about it.
