CNN previously reported that documents from Florida’s Pinellas County showed that Laundrie’s mother had booked camping in Fort De Soto Park for the first weekend of September, only to change it at a later date and add another person. County records show that the new booking was made by Roberta Laundrie on September 3, two days after her son returned home. The reserved reservation was scheduled to begin Sept. 6 for three people in Fort De Soto Park, about 75 miles from the family home. The lawsuit alleges that the Laundrie family went on holiday “knowing that Brian Laundrie had killed Gabrielle Petito, they believed they knew where her body was and they also knew that Gabrielle Petito’s parents were trying to locate her”. The Laundrie family’s lawyer told CNN they were confident the case would be dismissed, adding in a statement, “The allegations in the amended complaint may now comply with the appropriate memoranda, but do not create liability under the law. Therefore, we remain confident. “that the Court will dismiss the lawsuit,” said Steven Bertolino. Petito’s remains were found in Teton County, Wyoming in September, just over a week after her family reported her missing. The 22-year-old died of strangulation, according to a medical examiner. He was on a cross-country trip with Laundrie, who was her fiancé. Laundrie returned to the couple’s home on September 1 alone and left again about two weeks later and disappeared. Laundrie’s remains were later found in a Florida shelter and a medical examiner determined he had died of suicide. Nearby, authorities found a notebook in which they said Lundry had claimed responsibility for Petito’s death. The lawsuit alleges Laundrie’s parents acted in an “extreme and outrageous manner” for a variety of reasons, including failing to inform Petito’s parents that she was dead and where her remains were and that they were vacationing with their son while the Petito family was looking for a young woman. There is no specific amount of money mentioned in the lawsuit, but Petito’s parents are seeking compensation in excess of $ 30,000.
