"Gabby Petito and Laundrie Families Reach Emotional Distress Settlement"

The parents of Gabby Petito have reached a settlement in their emotional distress lawsuit against the parents of Brian Laundrie, who admitted responsibility for her death, as well as their attorney, after a day of mediation. The terms of the resolution were not disclosed, and all parties agreed to avoid further legal expenses and personal conflict. Petito's parents hope to close this chapter and continue honoring their daughter's legacy. Gabby Petito was killed during a cross-country road trip with Laundrie, who later died by suicide and claimed responsibility for her death in a note. The settlement follows a previous wrongful death lawsuit settlement in which the Petito family was awarded $3 million.
