"Gabby Petito's Parents Reach Settlement with Brian Laundrie's Family in Emotional Distress Lawsuit"

The parents of Gabby Petito, who was killed in 2021, have reached a confidential deal with the parents of her alleged killer, Brian Laundrie, in a civil case where they accused the Laundries of inflicting emotional distress. The resolution avoids a trial and further legal expenses. Petito, a popular travel blogger, was strangled during a cross-country trip with Laundrie, who later died by suicide. The case attracted global attention, and the families had previously reached a $3m settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit.
