Gabby Petito’s parents cast shade on Brian Laundrie’s family in a new docuseries that reveals additional details about the timing of their daughter’s murder at her fiancé’s hands in the wilderness of Wyoming, especially the allegation that they shelled out $25,000 to a prominent attorney while professing their ignorance of the crime.
“You’re going to throw $25,000 of your hard-earned cash out on a lawyer from f—ing Wyoming, and you’re telling me you didn’t ask where she was?” Joseph Petito says in Netflix’s “American Murder: Gabby Petito.”
The payment came three days after Laundrie called his parents and less than a week after Petito was last seen alive.
“That’s some bulls—,” he added, “I’ll tell you that right now.”
Cassie Laundrie has denied knowledge of her parents’ conversations with her brother and recently alleged that a police detective, whose voice can be overheard on bodycam video, mischaracterized their conversation.
Since the case grabbed national headlines in 2021, Petito’s parents have become advocates for missing persons and domestic violence victims.
