I am so happy for them. The way Brian's parent's treated them was horrible. I have always believed they knew from the beginning that Brian killed Gabby.

Having had a loved one brutally murdered, I can say that every tiny drop of information you get is worth the price you pay (emotionally and financially) to get it! Over the months and years, every drop of info provides a piece of the puzzle and a sense of getting closer to the closure you seek. Sometimes, that search, is all you have to keep you alive. Thankfully, most people are never put in the position that the families of murder victims are.
Thank you for sharing that. I was confused why Gabby’s parents were doing this. But now you told me. Thank you. And I’m so sorry this happened to your family. It’s horrible.
I think they want the discovery. I think they want to hear from them that they knew something. I’m sorry but if my son came home in his fiancées vehicle without her… how can you not know anything??? They contacted Bertilino right after BL came back. They stopped and blocked all communications with Gabbys parents. Why would you do something like that? The help cover what your son did! I hope they get some answers.
Don't forget that Brian was also using Gabby's debit card on his way home after she was murdered! He spent like $1,000 of her money! And from what I've heard, Brian's mom had hired an attorney before he was even home 😤

Not sure if this question will be answered, but why on earth did Bryan Laundrie's parents NOT get charged as accessories (proper term?) Or with negligence?
That may be true if they didn't do anything specific to obstruct justice. Remember Aiden Fucci's mother washed his bloodied pants, and she's being charged with tampering with evidence or obstructing justice. So I don't think it's a matter of them being his parents as much as the fact that they haven't been identified by a prosecutor as having tampered with evidence or obstructed justice. This is a civil case and it's more about intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Okay. So I am making sure to have the week AFTER my birthday off next year. I have been following this since Gabby was reported missing, and I thought what his parents said (through lawyer) was nice at the start, but when more & more came out, I began to think what they had said was a bit nasty. Then Gabby was found. 😔 Was a horrible situation for her family, and he could have saved them all the prolonged heartache/hope so much earlier. His parents statement gave them hope for a live recovery.
I know this is not legal jargon but I feel that by living in the Laundries home that Gabby was exposed to dysfunction and that the parents were privy to Brian’s domestic abuse and did not step in. Gabby went on this trip with Brian to perhaps get away from the Laundries and start a new, thinking that a different environment would be the cure. When in domestic violence one bargains for change believing that the abuse will stop. Gabby so young to navigate and had no support because she was not at the stage to admit the abuse was happening to leave. She was groomed to think that all was her fault. Clearly set forth in the police tape. The Laundries are going to have to show who they really are by this proceeding and this is what the Petito family is looking for by way of accountability and to expose this family for their neglect and oddities. The Laundries need to be held accountable as they acted in neglectful cruelty and self-centeredness. The deaths of Gabby and Brian could have been prevented if nipped at the bud by the police and more importantly the Laundries. So tragic…..
@@28jewelsboogie Yup! I can't wait for the Petito's to explain how "distressed" parents wait over two weeks to report their child missing. It should be interesting. But you're not psychic, just doing what you've been conditioned to do. Make excuses and jump to conclusions.

Emily! Today is my college graduation! Thank you for keeping me company in line haha!! I’m officially a Bachelor (of Arts)! You’ve gotten me through these past couple of years. Thank you. 💛💙💛
🙋♀️ 💜 Thank you for this important update and your prospective. You rock! The Laundries do not. Let’s get this show on the road, folks, so Gabby and family can have their deserved JUSTICE.
It's not about closure. There is never closure when you lose a child. It's about people being held accountable and responsible. That first week Brian was back home and Gabby's parents were worried about the kids (both kids), as they hadn't heard from them, the Petito's continually called the Laundrie's and they ignored their calls and texts. Why? Why would anyone ignore frantic calls from concerned parents of a child who had been living with them? There is only one reason to ignore those pleading calls ... it's because they didn't know what to say. Any innocent person would have just picked up the phone and said yeah the kids got in a fight and Brian came home and Gabby went on to visit friends. If that is what Brian supposidly told them, then they would have just told the Petito's that from the very beginning. But they ignored the Petito's calls because they knew the truth and were scared and did not know what to say to them. That is guilt. They should absolutely be charged for aiding and abetting.
Proud law nerd, text crew & loyal subscriber! ❤ I love your videos Emily & your updates. The commentary is amazing lol I love u so MF much 😂❤ Thank you for keeping us updated on this case. I’ve been following this case since day 1.
I don't think they are looking for closure, I think they are looking to hold them accountable for their aiding and abetting of her daughter's murderer for as long as they can. I wouldn't want them to just walk into the sunset with their "we are grieving too" statement, either. If they had taken their son to the nearest police station their son would be alive and they would have spared the Petito's of 1 month of living hell Even if they don't win the trial at least the Laundries they are not spending their money on beach front camping get aways. I think that is what Gabby's family ultimately want, to make their lives hard for as long as they can. They deserve it.
‼️BUT‼️AND REMEMBER ‼️TOO‼️ I saw a few TV clips where Bertolino said he is not acting as the defendant's attorney, he is acting as a friend there was not an attorney-client, nor relationship, nor contract. This was very early on and it was on TV or streaming and this was before Gabby was discovered deceased. ‼️ And you've got to be impressed that is 77-year-old remembers that ‼️ (so does that make him liable for anything ? IDK) ❤️ yo nana
Emily I am truly happy : ) to see this title!! "Gabby Petito’s Parents win in court. Laundrie’s Motions Denied." much love, thoughts & prayers to Gabby's parents & family as well as close friends xoxo always
Gabby Petito's parents not only lost their child, they were also robbed of their deserved swift justice and closure because the murderer's parents helped cover for him as he ran. I am so glad this case was not dropped, I don't know why so many people argue that parents should be able to help cover up crimes for their child and should not face any consequences. You became an accomplice to his crimes by helping him run from justice and deserve to pay for that in damages. Especially because it is a civil case and the burden is much lower and I hope damages are massive so being an accomplice to cover for a murder is not the first choice going forward. Let's be clear here, they didn't just make a simple statement about not knowing where there son was, they wrote a novel when talking to the other parents over weeks.
@@emersonmanning6523SMH. It's a fact Gabby is dead because of Brian. It's a fact they found a picture of Gabby's face beat up on her phone the day the cop's pulled them over. Fact 2 people called 911 seeing Brian slapping Gabby in the face. Fact Brian's parent's got him a lawyer very quickly. No matter what you keep saying it doesn't hold up.
@@Bella-ht5jb9he3z*"Gabby Petito should have been cited for domestic abuse by Utah police, review finds"...* The fact is it took the Petito's over two weeks to report their violent daughter missing and the Laundries aren't responsible for what transpired between two consenting adults. This is just a witch hunt fueled by typical grifters who are using your sympathy to get rich.
Ppl now see narcissism up close. Sometimes ya can't see the forest for the trees. Standing bk, we see him for what it is and what he was! I lived w it several times over. I hvnt dated for15 yrs now. Very safe. Very happy. Very free. I was a magnet for this kind of person. No more. I pray the Petitos and family, friends, extended family find peace. As a Christian, I know we will be together again. We HV hope. I desire that for Gabi's loved ones. 😢🙏❤️ I watched him schmoozing the cops. I wanted to barf!!
He was a family friend and watched Brian grow up.. I would think he was for Brian. His parent's definitely knew what happened. You don't get a, lawyer that quick for no reason.
I don't think Mr. Petito & Ms. Schmidt are expecting closure directly from any of the things they may be able to find out in their suit. I think they just need to exhaust every possibility to get answers about what happened to Gabby so they can allow themselves to stop looking for such answers. Perhaps after they've used every possible avenue to find out everything they can about the death of their daughter, they'll be able to begin to heal. Sometimes ones brain won't let one stop until one has done ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING...
That letter was coded it absolutely has to be a hidden message for him. That's what I think we need to run it through all the possibilities and find out
I hope it does go to trail. Hopefully, It will set a precedent for other victim’s family in the future. It may help other family to tell what they know if they know they can be sued for what they do and don’t do.
I'm not ready to give up my right to remain silent or my right not to incriminate myself for the Petito's. Be careful what you wish for. Civil liberties are much bigger than these people.
I am curious to see the proof that the Laundries did everything that they are being accused of. My heart aches for the Petitos but I am almost certain they are going to be highly disappointed. I don’t believe they are going to get the answers they are searching for-or the answers they do get most likely won’t be good enough. unfortunately, I just don’t see them getting that closure. I feel horrible for both sets of parents. What happened simply shouldn’t have happened. & they both suffered an unimaginable loss. Unfortunately the one who is actually responsible for this murder is not here to be held accountable- had he been arrested I doubt the Laundries would be going through this right now. The Petitos want to hold someone responsible- so the parents it is.
a lawyer is someone who has graduated law school. a person becomes an attorney after they pass the bar exam and become a member of the State Bar Association
I wish all parents got this kind of justice because most of them dont, a somber but well deserved congratulations to the Petito family. I know Gabby was an adult but I feel like had the police just made one phone call to her parents, that it could have saved her life.
Emily can you cover the Ronald Anthony burgos case? I'm following it but we need you to explain things to us. Horrific case - death penalty on the table. Love your channel and love what you do. Im in Scotland do don't fully understand the American laws. Much love from us Scots x
I hope it’ll become a case precedent! I honestly don’t feel what appears to be the parents’ covering up for their son, should go ignored. Especially, given everything seems to point to the fact they darn well knew … the son should have faced consequences for his actions and not been allowed to take the easy way out. Nobody is going to win from this but to have a repeat scenario will be a tragedy. Perhaps if they hit below the belt … finances … people will think twice before sheltering their children from horrific actions. It’s like they said Gabby didn’t deserve justice! I think the cops screwed up royally, which is typical …. It that all cops are bad but they’re few and far between it seems, with what we hear on an ongoing basis! I don’t mean not just after her murder … but when they were first called about the witnessed physical argument. I think the cops made a snap judgement and didn’t do their job by following protocol with abused victims. Gabby probably would be alive today, if they had done their job. I find a lot of cops are so unversed when it comes to domestic abuse. It’ll still be a lose/lose for everyone … so many were hurt by his temper to lash out at Gabby like he did, even his parents being put in this difficult situation … however, they made some bad choices though!
Really suprised this case has got this far. It's so sad, both families have lost their children in dreadful circumstances, the amount of stress and distress they have all felt is unimaginable - this legal action only causes more of the same, and more pain. I understand the P's would like answers, but this won't bring her back. They are angry, of course, but they are lashing out at the only target left available. It is v interesting how they are suing for intentional emotional distress and in the process causing more of this. They hurt and want the Laundries to also, but the Laundries are already hurting too - it's not going to leave them feeling any better - quite the opposite. A hateful heart can not heal. I don't agree with this case at all. It's v disappointing no one has stepped in to stop this to protect both parties. The Laundries followed their legal advice. The police investigated and decided they were not complicit - hence no charges.
I agree with every single word you said. I am one of the very few who don’t believe the Laundries were being monsters. They we put in a very hard situation and simply did was their attorneys told them to. They don’t deserve some of the very vile things people are saying about them. They were treated extremely poorly during the search for Gabby.
@@kelliesuggs93 it's been harrowing hasn't it Kelly. The way people protested outside their house and the speculation was dreadful yes. Brian is the one to blame for Gabby's murder, no one else. Can you imagine being in their position? Incredibly difficult. I'm not sure I could cope with it. My mum always said two wrongs don't make a right. I believe this to be true - as here. Taking pleasure from another's pain, the masses feeling happy about this case moving forwards, leaves me feeling utter despair about the world in which we live.
Loved Gem and the holograms it was a close tie between her and Barbie to whom was my favorite. The only sucky part was that Barbie could not wear her clothes because she was way too big. I Love 💕 to reminisce about those days and Saturday morning cartoons.
Why when Brian returned with the van and no Gabby did they scrub out the van . If he’s innocent why try to hide evidence. They also helped him escape . They are guilty on so many fronts ! Disgusting excuse for parents . 😥😥😥
If Bertolino knew the truth about Gabbie and Brian, then he knew he was lying. If he knew he was lying then I feel like he had a responsibility not to publicly lie for his clients.

Gabby so young to navigate and had no support because she was not at the stage to admit the abuse was happening to leave. She was groomed to think that all was her fault. Clearly set forth in the police tape. The Laundries are going to have to show who they really are by this proceeding and this is what the Petito family is looking for by way of accountability and to expose this family for their neglect and oddities. The Laundries need to be held accountable as they acted in neglectful cruelty and self-centeredness. The deaths of Gabby and Brian could have been prevented if nipped at the bud by the police and more importantly the Laundries. So tragic…..
Nipped in the bud. Not butt. But yes.
No need for evidence when one has an active imagination. You should write a fiction novel.

Yup! I can't wait for the Petito's to explain how "distressed" parents wait over two weeks to report their child missing. It should be interesting.
But you're not psychic, just doing what you've been conditioned to do. Make excuses and jump to conclusions.
@@28jewelsboogie
Well, Miss. Psychic.....
Why wasn't Gabby arrested in Moab for domestic assault? Why did the cop completely circumvent the law to let her walk free?
@@emersonmanning6523and she ends up dead not him. This is why there are flying monkeys, because some people can't see through when a person is being manipulative.
Emily! Today is my college graduation! Thank you for keeping me company in line haha!! I’m officially a Bachelor (of Arts)! You’ve gotten me through these past couple of years. Thank you. 💛💙💛
Congratulations! I hope you are enjoying your day!
The Laundries will lie under oath. I’m almost sure of it. There is a special kind of place for people like the Laundries.
🙋♀️ 💜 Thank you for this important update and your prospective. You rock! The Laundries do not.
Let’s get this show on the road, folks, so Gabby and family can have their deserved JUSTICE.
It's not about closure. There is never closure when you lose a child. It's about people being held accountable and responsible. That first week Brian was back home and Gabby's parents were worried about the kids (both kids), as they hadn't heard from them, the Petito's continually called the Laundrie's and they ignored their calls and texts. Why? Why would anyone ignore frantic calls from concerned parents of a child who had been living with them? There is only one reason to ignore those pleading calls ... it's because they didn't know what to say. Any innocent person would have just picked up the phone and said yeah the kids got in a fight and Brian came home and Gabby went on to visit friends. If that is what Brian supposidly told them, then they would have just told the Petito's that from the very beginning. But they ignored the Petito's calls because they knew the truth and were scared and did not know what to say to them. That is guilt. They should absolutely be charged for aiding and abetting.
Truly truly truly outrageous!
The Laundries did the Petitos wrong! Period!
Afternoon Law/Paw Nerds from a warm sunny Liverpool, UK. 😊
Proud law nerd, text crew & loyal subscriber! ❤ I love your videos Emily & your updates. The commentary is amazing lol I love u so MF much 😂❤
Thank you for keeping us updated on this case. I’ve been following this case since day 1.
I don't think they are looking for closure, I think they are looking to hold them accountable for their aiding and abetting of her daughter's murderer for as long as they can.
I wouldn't want them to just walk into the sunset with their "we are grieving too" statement, either.
If they had taken their son to the nearest police station their son would be alive and they would have spared the Petito's of 1 month of living hell
Even if they don't win the trial at least the Laundries they are not spending their money on beach front camping get aways. I think that is what Gabby's family ultimately want, to make their lives hard for as long as they can. They deserve it.
Thank you for covering this case, Emily!
i just hollered so loud at the title
Got my first Switch console yesterday along with the new Zelda, so far I love it 😍💜
I totally hate this case because it's so heart-wrenching for both sets of parents and everyone involved.
The Laundries had zero compation. Completely heartless and totally self-centered! Grotesque!
Ahhh, the anxiety inducing music
Emily, I hope you're having a great time!
‼️BUT‼️AND REMEMBER ‼️TOO‼️
I saw a few TV clips where Bertolino said he is not acting as the defendant's attorney, he is acting as a friend there was not an attorney-client, nor relationship, nor contract. This was very early on and it was on TV or streaming and this was before Gabby was discovered deceased. ‼️
And you've got to be impressed that is 77-year-old remembers that ‼️ (so does that make him liable for anything ? IDK)
❤️ yo nana
This 71-year-old DEFINITELY remembers. He was making ALL KINDS of statements to the Press, wasn’t he? What about them?
Thank you Emily for your insights and analysis!
Emily I am truly happy : ) to see this title!! "Gabby Petito’s Parents win in court. Laundrie’s Motions Denied." much love, thoughts & prayers to Gabby's parents & family as well as close friends xoxo always
Maybe she gave him the letter when he flew home to empty the storage unit??!!
They won?! Yesss
Hi everyone from rainy Louisville. 🌧️
Jem is truly outrageous! It's so great to have a UA-camr that's my age! Lol
Good morning Emily and chat! Great to be back on a live chat
Thank you for making replay so easy.
This amazing, i am so happy for gabby petito's parents, great vídeo emily, you are doing an amazing job.
This waiting music is killing me lol
Good morning Law Nerds from Pittsburgh ❤
Praying for justice for the family of Gabby Petito.
@28:53 now I have the Jem and the Holograms theme song in my head. 😂
Yay my favorite ad ever so far!!!!!! ❤❤
Ty Emily!
I just love you’re commentary ❤
Gabby Petito's parents not only lost their child, they were also robbed of their deserved swift justice and closure because the murderer's parents helped cover for him as he ran.
I am so glad this case was not dropped, I don't know why so many people argue that parents should be able to help cover up crimes for their child and should not face any consequences. You became an accomplice to his crimes by helping him run from justice and deserve to pay for that in damages. Especially because it is a civil case and the burden is much lower and I hope damages are massive so being an accomplice to cover for a murder is not the first choice going forward.
Let's be clear here, they didn't just make a simple statement about not knowing where there son was, they wrote a novel when talking to the other parents over weeks.
Good afternoon, Emily 🙋♀️ Missed you 💜 🇨🇦
The Laundrie's inflicted so much pain on Gabby's loved ones, its inconceivable, HORRIBLE PEOPLE!
Allegations aren't necessarily fact, especially when you're looking to get financial gains.
@@emersonmanning6523SMH. It's a fact Gabby is dead because of Brian. It's a fact they found a picture of Gabby's face beat up on her phone the day the cop's pulled them over. Fact 2 people called 911 seeing Brian slapping Gabby in the face. Fact Brian's parent's got him a lawyer very quickly. No matter what you keep saying it doesn't hold up.
@@Bella-ht5jb9he3z*"Gabby Petito should have been cited for domestic abuse by Utah police, review finds"...*
The fact is it took the Petito's over two weeks to report their violent daughter missing and the Laundries aren't responsible for what transpired between two consenting adults. This is just a witch hunt fueled by typical grifters who are using your sympathy to get rich.
Ppl now see narcissism up close. Sometimes ya can't see the forest for the trees. Standing bk, we see him for what it is and what he was! I lived w it several times over. I hvnt dated for15 yrs now. Very safe. Very happy. Very free. I was a magnet for this kind of person. No more. I pray the Petitos and family, friends, extended family find peace. As a Christian, I know we will be together again. We HV hope. I desire that for Gabi's loved ones. 😢🙏❤️ I watched him schmoozing the cops. I wanted to barf!!
❓Since Steven Bertolino was the Laundrie family attorney was he presenting the parents prior or same time as he was representing Brian❓
He was a family friend and watched Brian grow up.. I would think he was for Brian. His parent's definitely knew what happened. You don't get a, lawyer that quick for no reason.
Enjoy your week, EDB!!!!
I hope this sets some kind of precedent
Good morning law nerds!
Did you see the interview this morning with the “bring the jury’ judge from the Murdaugh trial?
Brian's parents need to be left broke and miserable What they did is that terrible.
Truly, truly, truly outrageous!
Glad I got to catch this while sitting in airport
I don't think Mr. Petito & Ms. Schmidt are expecting closure directly from any of the things they may be able to find out in their suit. I think they just need to exhaust every possibility to get answers about what happened to Gabby so they can allow themselves to stop looking for such answers. Perhaps after they've used every possible avenue to find out everything they can about the death of their daughter, they'll be able to begin to heal. Sometimes ones brain won't let one stop until one has done ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING...
❤ hope you have fun
I am not an attorney but have always felt that Bertalino was out of his depth
I think they just want punishment against the parents for being monsters
I believe justice is warranted in this horrible situation.
They won’t get what they’re looking for. The Laundries will never admit that they knew she was dead. So sad.
Rightfully so, they did nothing to help them find their daughter, not even return phone calls or text messages!
As they should. Their son murdered their daughter and they knew and helped try and escape justice.
I was Jem for Halloween in kindergarten 👩🏻🎤
Hi Emily, I used to listen to your Friday Night Lives all the time now I can’t find them? Where did you move to? I miss your live videos so much!
Loved watching Jem
Lmao 🤣 I remember Jem and the Holograms!!! 👩🏻🎤💖
Just ordered the retro pride mug. Can’t wait till you get here.
Hey, some people really mean it when they say bless your heart. All southerners aren’t snarky, some of us feel sad for people… who are pitiful. 😂
Good morning!
Tax payers need to sue them for the money spent on searching for these 2 while they hide behind their lawyer.
The laundries held back information. It’s obvious.
What happened to vacation? Lol thanks for today 😊
❤ Barbie, and the rockers.. you’re speaking my language girl!
Great show as always Emily! Thank you!
That letter was coded it absolutely has to be a hidden message for him.
That's what I think we need to run it through all the possibilities and find out
The letter has nothing to do with Gabby. Ease up soldier.
I hope it does go to trail. Hopefully, It will set a precedent for other victim’s family in the future. It may help other family to tell what they know if they know they can be sued for what they do and don’t do.
I'm not ready to give up my right to remain silent or my right not to incriminate myself for the Petito's. Be careful what you wish for. Civil liberties are much bigger than these people.
I really like the straw as well😊
🎼 truly outrageous 🎶 … GenX memories ❤️😂
I love fastgrowing trees! Mine were very healthy on arrival.
May your summer be comfortable and enjoyable!
I am curious to see the proof that the Laundries did everything that they are being accused of.
My heart aches for the Petitos but I am almost certain they are going to be highly disappointed. I don’t believe they are going to get the answers they are searching for-or the answers they do get most likely won’t be good enough. unfortunately, I just don’t see them getting that closure.
I feel horrible for both sets of parents. What happened simply shouldn’t have happened. & they both suffered an unimaginable loss.
Unfortunately the one who is actually responsible for this murder is not here to be held accountable- had he been arrested I doubt the Laundries would be going through this right now. The Petitos want to hold someone responsible- so the parents it is.
?? Off topic. What's the difference between an attorney vs a lawyer?
a lawyer is someone who has graduated law school. a person becomes an attorney after they pass the bar exam and become a member of the State Bar Association
I am confused is the law different in florida. In NY i would have been charged with accessory-after-the-fact if I had been the Laundrie's.
I think there is something about parents protecting their children in Florida law.
He is his parents son, horrible,cruel animals...ALL OF THEM
I wish all parents got this kind of justice because most of them dont, a somber but well deserved congratulations to the Petito family. I know Gabby was an adult but I feel like had the police just made one phone call to her parents, that it could have saved her life.
Please please talk about the Allan Kassenhof situation Emily
Whoa. Am I here before the countdown ends? HIIIIIIKKKI 😊
Emily can you cover the Ronald Anthony burgos case? I'm following it but we need you to explain things to us. Horrific case - death penalty on the table. Love your channel and love what you do. Im in Scotland do don't fully understand the American laws. Much love from us Scots x
Lol I had just finished listening on Spotify 😂
Love ya Emily
I hope it’ll become a case precedent! I honestly don’t feel what appears to be the parents’ covering up for their son, should go ignored. Especially, given everything seems to point to the fact they darn well knew … the son should have faced consequences for his actions and not been allowed to take the easy way out.
Nobody is going to win from this but to have a repeat scenario will be a tragedy. Perhaps if they hit below the belt … finances … people will think twice before sheltering their children from horrific actions. It’s like they said Gabby didn’t deserve justice!
I think the cops screwed up royally, which is typical …. It that all cops are bad but they’re few and far between it seems, with what we hear on an ongoing basis! I don’t mean not just after her murder … but when they were first called about the witnessed physical argument. I think the cops made a snap judgement and didn’t do their job by following protocol with abused victims. Gabby probably would be alive today, if they had done their job. I find a lot of cops are so unversed when it comes to domestic abuse.
It’ll still be a lose/lose for everyone … so many were hurt by his temper to lash out at Gabby like he did, even his parents being put in this difficult situation … however, they made some bad choices though!
Really suprised this case has got this far. It's so sad, both families have lost their children in dreadful circumstances, the amount of stress and distress they have all felt is unimaginable - this legal action only causes more of the same, and more pain. I understand the P's would like answers, but this won't bring her back. They are angry, of course, but they are lashing out at the only target left available. It is v interesting how they are suing for intentional emotional distress and in the process causing more of this. They hurt and want the Laundries to also, but the Laundries are already hurting too - it's not going to leave them feeling any better - quite the opposite. A hateful heart can not heal. I don't agree with this case at all. It's v disappointing no one has stepped in to stop this to protect both parties. The Laundries followed their legal advice. The police investigated and decided they were not complicit - hence no charges.
I agree with every single word you said. I am one of the very few who don’t believe the Laundries were being monsters. They we put in a very hard situation and simply did was their attorneys told them to. They don’t deserve some of the very vile things people are saying about them. They were treated extremely poorly during the search for Gabby.
@@kelliesuggs93 it's been harrowing hasn't it Kelly. The way people protested outside their house and the speculation was dreadful yes. Brian is the one to blame for Gabby's murder, no one else. Can you imagine being in their position? Incredibly difficult. I'm not sure I could cope with it. My mum always said two wrongs don't make a right. I believe this to be true - as here. Taking pleasure from another's pain, the masses feeling happy about this case moving forwards, leaves me feeling utter despair about the world in which we live.
Their son is a murderer, that's where it's different
This whole thing is so sad.
Loved Gem and the holograms it was a close tie between her and Barbie to whom was my favorite. The only sucky part was that Barbie could not wear her clothes because she was way too big. I Love 💕 to reminisce about those days and Saturday morning cartoons.
Omg ! Loved loved loved gem!
I hated being called Gem, as a child in the late 80s, because of that cartoon's existence. I'm not sure I'd ever even watched it though, to be fair. 😂
Why when Brian returned with the van and no Gabby did they scrub out the van . If he’s innocent why try to hide evidence. They also helped him escape . They are guilty on so many fronts ! Disgusting excuse for parents . 😥😥😥
If Bertolino knew the truth about Gabbie and Brian, then he knew he was lying. If he knew he was lying then I feel like he had a responsibility not to publicly lie for his clients.
