Ep 338: Remastered: The Murder of Gabby Petito, Part 10

The Gabby Petito case, one of the most scrutinized murder investigations of 2021, takes a dramatic turn as Petito’s parents file a civil lawsuit against Brian Laundrie’s parents, alleging they knew Gabby was dead and helped cover up the murder. Despite Laundrie’s suicide, the lawsuit claims the Laundries concealed his whereabouts, failed to report the truth, and even planned to help him flee the country—claims their attorney, Stephen Bertolino, denies. Bertolino insists the family did nothing wrong, citing their right to silence and the fact that Brian was a grown man making his own choices. However, the lawsuit hinges on a pivotal statement Bertolino made: expressing hope that the search for Gabby would succeed—despite knowing she was already dead. This contradiction fuels the Petito family’s argument that the Laundries used legal counsel to deceive. Meanwhile, News Nation reporter Brian Enten, who spent nearly two months camped outside the Laundrie home, reveals that the FBI handed over multiple confessions, including an eight-page letter from Brian and a disturbing, previously undisclosed letter from his mother Roberta, which offered to help him if he went to jail. The letter, which says she’d bake a cake with a knife or saw inside, suggests a chilling level of complicity. Enten questions Bertolino’s claim of transparency, noting he released only one letter while withholding the others.
