Joe and Nichole claimed that it was “insensitive, cold-hearted and outrageous” for Bertolino to express the Laundrie family’s “hope” that authorities would find Gabby’s body in September 2021.
Earlier this year, Gabby’s parents filed a lawsuit against Chris and Roberta claiming they knew their son killed Gabby and knew where her body was.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Joe and Nichole said, “When they choose to speak, through the statement issued by Steven Bertolino, including the statement on September 14, 2021 that it is the Laundrie family’s ‘hope’ that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is reunited with her family.’”

It continued, “It is believed that at the time the September 14, 2021 statement was issued, Dobi and Steven Bertolino knew that Gabby Petito had died, and in the circumstances, the statement was insensitive, cold-hearted and outrageous.”
Explosion recently reported that Chris and Roberta will owe Gabby’s parents millions.

Gabby’s mother was awarded $3 million as administrator of Petito’s estate.
On Friday, May 13, Schmidt filed a new wrongful death lawsuit in Florida against the curator of Laundrie’s estate, according to Fox News.
Per the outlet, the lawsuit seeks wrongful death damages of at least $30,000.
It stated that Brian intentionally killed Gabby, and also demanded a trial by jury and judgment for compensatory damages.
Every Penny Will Go To The Gabby Petito Foundation
“Petito’s family lost their daughter, and they were also denied the opportunity to confront her killer,” Patrick Reilly, attorney for Petito’s parents, said in a statement to CNN. “There is no amount of money to compensate the Petito family for the loss of their daughter, Gabby, at the hands of Brian Laundrie. Brian doesn’t have $3 million; it is an arbitrary number. Whatever money they receive will help Gabby’s family in their efforts with the Gabby Petito Foundation.”
“Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt wanted to turn their personal tragedy into something positive. It is their hope that Gabby’s foundation will bring these important issues to the public eye for the benefit of all of our communities,” their family attorney said.

When the lawsuit was initially filed, legal documents stated Gabby and Brian “became engaged on or about July 2, 2020. On July 2, 2021, Brian Laundrie and Gabrielle Petito left New York in a van owned by Gabrielle Petito to take a trip to western United States which is expected to last for several months.”
Schmidt’s last interaction with his daughter was on August 27, 2021.
“It is believed that on August 27, 2021, Brian Laundrie killed Gabrielle Petito. The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and neck by manual strangulation,” the complaint continued. “As a direct and proximate result of Brian Laundrie’s misconduct, Nichole Schmidt and Joseph Petito incurred funeral and burial expenses, and they have suffered a loss of care and comfort, and have suffered a loss of friendship, society and possible future comfort.”
