"Gabby Petito's and Brian Laundrie's Families Reach Emotional Distress Lawsuit Settlement"

The parents of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie have reached a settlement in the emotional distress lawsuit filed by the Petito family, accusing Laundrie's parents and their lawyer of knowing about Gabby's death and failing to disclose the information. The agreement was reached before the suit made its way to court, and a statement released by the Petito family's lawyer expressed the hope to close this chapter and continue to honor Gabby's legacy. This settlement follows a previous $3 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit against Laundrie's estate.
