"Settlement Reached in Emotional Distress Lawsuit Between Parents of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie"

The parents of Gabby Petito, who was killed by her fiancé Brian Laundrie, have settled an emotional distress lawsuit with Laundrie's parents and their attorney, avoiding a civil trial. The lawsuit, filed in March 2022, accused the Laundries of intentional infliction of emotional distress for allegedly knowing about Petito's murder and doing nothing. The terms of the settlement are confidential, and both parties expressed a desire to move on and honor Petito's legacy. Petito's body was found in Wyoming in 2021, and Laundrie was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
