WY - Gabrielle ‘Gabby’ Petito - Grand Teton National Park - MEDIA, MAPS *NO DISCUSSION - #2

[arielilane]

Important to clarify: according to court documents, Bertolino, a co-defendant in the lawsuit, individually made these settlement offers to Petito and Schmidt. He is not representing the Laundries in this case. That’s being handled by attorney Matthew Luka.

Steven Bertolino, the longtime lawyer for the Laundries, has made “confidential” settlement offers to Joe Petito & Nichole Schmidt, the parents of #GabbyPetito, @WFLA has learned. I asked both sides about the status of a potential settlement.

Two years ago today the remains of Gabby Petito were found in Wyoming. Her death was ruled a homicide by strangulation. The FBI announced the sole suspect was her fiancé, Brian Laundrie.

Attorney Matthew Luka will no longer represent the Laundries in the #GabbyPetito lawsuit after taking a new job. “The Laundries are good people, and it was my pleasure to work with them. Ryan Gilbert will do a terrific job for them, so I know they are in good hands.” (1/3)

Luka tells me he is at a new law firm and the move required a substitution of counsel. As he noted, he’ll be replaced by Ryan Gilbert. I asked Luka, as the exiting Laundrie attorney, who he thinks will prevail in the trial next year… (2/3)

“I wish the Laundries all the best and have always believed in their case, but I’ll leave that for Mr. Gilbert to answer after he has had a chance to complete discovery.” - Matthew Luka to @WFLAThe #GabbyPetito lawsuit goes to trial in May 2024, eight months from now. (3/3)

Longtime Laundrie attorney Steve Bertolino issued me the same response after Chris and Roberta’s depositions: “no surprises on our side.” After reading through my report and seeing the statement, Pat Reilly, representing #GabbyPetito’s family, sent me this response to Bertolino:

It is so odd that #Roberta Laundrie is driving #Brian Laundrie's Mustang. He is dead, shot through the left side of his head (he is a righty) and found, not by 100s of police officers, droans and dogs, but by his parents... It's all just weird. God bless the #Petito and #Schmidt families as they continue to search for truth.

Brian Laundrie’s lawyer may be forced to answer questions about the murder of Gabby Petito

https://twitter.com/x/status/1717994580690579788

Lawyers for the parents of Gabby Petito say they want to hear from the attorney for the parents of her boyfriend Brian Laundrie, who confessed to murdering her in August 2021.

Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, Gabby Petito’s parents, sued Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie in March 2022, alleging that Brian Laundrie had told his parents that he killed his girlfriend while they were on a trip in Wyoming and that the Laundries not only didn’t share this information with Petito and Schmidt, they tried to make arrangements for their son to leave the country.

Brian Petito died by suicide after returning home to Florida.

#GabbyPetito Update: During depositions, Chris and Roberta Laundrie said in a “frantic” phone call on Aug. 29, 2021, their son told them Gabby was “gone” and that he needed a lawyer, per Petito attorney Pat Reilly. More in my latest report: https://bit.ly/3RC7JFL on @WFLA

VENICE, Fla. (WFLA) — The attorney for Gabby Petito’s family says Brian Laundrie’s parents have admitted what their son told them in the days after killing his 22-year-old fiancé in August 2021.

During depositions for the upcoming civil trial between the two families, Chris and Roberta Laundrie said in a “frantic” phone call on Aug. 29, 2021, two days after the day Petito was believed to be murdered, Brian informed them that Gabby was “gone” and needed a lawyer, according to Petito attorney Pat Reilly.

Reilly says Chris and Roberta did not admit to knowing Gabby was killed, only that they were told by Brian that she was “gone.”

According to court documents and the depositions, Chris and Roberta then informed their longtime lawyer Steven Bertolino that Gabby was “gone” and that Brian was in need of an attorney. A retainer was sent to him six days later.

Reilly says he believes the Laundries, and possibly Bertolino, were told more. He has filed a motion to force Bertolino into revealing what Brian told him. A hearing on the motion and whether Brian’s attorney-client privilege should be upheld is scheduled for Dec. 20 in Sarasota County Circuit Court.
