I think it's possible the Laundries gave an apology and paid zero dollars to reach a resolution in the lawsuit.
Yes, some reporters and headline writers used the word "settlement" but GP's parents didn't in their statement and neither did their attorney in his statement. The Laundries' attorney SB didn't either. All statements used the term "resolution." Since the resolution reached is confidential, we can't know the terms. But I'm more likely to go with what the parties wrote, not what a reporter wrote. Throughout the case we've seen reporters "get it wrong," sometimes in pretty astounding ways.
Settlement reached between Gabby Petito and Laundrie families

The parents of slain New York woman Gabby Petito say they have reached a settlement in their suit against the parents of Brian Laundrie, the man who admitted responsibility for her death, as well as his parents’ attorney.
Brian owned the mustang parked in the Laundrie's driveway. I think the insurance for the van was likely added to that policy rather than to his parent's policy.I know months ago there was discussion on WS suggesting the van insurance might have been tacked onto the Laundries' policy. While BL might have paid for the insurance, since the van was in GP's name I don't see how adding it to the parents' policy could work. I'm also not sure it's possible for a car insurance policy to exclude the titleholder as a driver. So who purchased the policy shouldn't have affected GP's ability to drive the van. But during the Moab stop when LE decided to separate them for the night, GP said she usually didn't drive the van and was concerned about having to drive it very far. (LE did verify she had a clear license.)

I think there was another place she expressed reluctance to drive because of the van's size and not liking to use mirrors. I think it was in one of the van life videos. But right now that has to be JMO.

Thanks for posting this, so it appears that the statements did not include anything in relation to a settlement, but they reached a resolution.
Ok. I didn't think the Mustang was in Brian's name. I thought reporters searching for car registrations in his name couldn't find anything. And this article says LE told the reporter that car wasn't in BL's name after it was retrieved from the Reserve by his parents. Maybe it was his at some point?

I think it more likely GP's parents' attorney, Reilly, didn't want to take it to trial. Bertolino would have forced Reilly's colleague, Richard Stafford, to testify about which of his clients wanted to harm the Laundries and Bertolino. That's why Bertolino pointed it out in his depo.
Reporters have gotten information wrong about this case so nothing will surprise me. A man Brian's age should have his own car insurance and pay for it himself and I think that was done in this case. I still don't know for sure that the van was registered only in Gabby's name.Ok. I didn't think the Mustang was in Brian's name.

I don't know Florida law but I don't think in NC Person A who isn't related to Person B could take out an insurance policy for Person B's car.

BBM. It's click bait. The GP family attorney statement makes it clear their lawsuit was never about money:
Kind of like "going to the train station".
I don't know, if a husband of one of my female friends called frantic and said "[Friend's name] is gone", I'd assume she packed her stuff and left him.
A heart to heart with an apology and letting the family know everything they could in return for stopping all further lawsuits on the subject.
And he needed a crim lawyer? And stole her van full of her stuff and left her God knows where? Not me.
I think all it resolved was this lawsuit. Next up will be the Moab lawsuit and the city's attorney made his position abundantly clear last August. Now that Bertolino's depo has been released, I think he will want it taken to trial.

That's a good sign. It means you have never suspected the husband of hurting her.
