Presumably , the sister, she of the I-know-nuffink turn of mind is still keeping a low profile?
Why wouldn't she keep a low profile?

Agree. And besides, she is a victim, along with her young children and husband, and sleuthing victims is against WS rules.

She's also not listed on the Petito family witness list for the May 2024 trial.

She apparently gave a deposition in this case.

Presumably, she didn't have anything to say that was worthy of being called as a witness. IMO, unlike the other members of her family, she's been pretty upfront. I remember she gave interviews on her front lawn urging Brian to come clean.

I actually believe her when she said that Brian and her parents didn't tell her anything about what was going on.

They knew she was dead, but perhaps not how.

Not sure that knowledge comes with any legal obligation to the Petitos, but we shall in time see what the court says.
Forget the legal obligation. How about the moral one?

People can judge the Laundries actions and decide that they are bad or immoral. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Personally I don't feel that civil judicial system should use personal morals to decide a case. JMO.

I appreciate your response, still, it leaves me with the conundrum, what was she asking Brian to come clean about?... ...

The infinite cruelty inflicted on Gabby's family, ( putting aside for one moment the absolute cruelty inflicted upon Gabby herself by Brian ) by the extended Laundrie family defies understanding.. what was the end game there? to delay enough to enhance Brian's reputation, such as it was? to have enough time to denigrate Gabby's rep?.. what was the point of it all?

I'm not seeing this case the same way you are for sure.

At this point BL's extended family or his sister should not be denigrated because there's no evidence to support any kind of wrong doing by them.

They are not a party of this civil lawsuit at this time.

ah... the confusion lies where you call Brian's mum and dad his family, whereas, I would call them his extended family, leaving the label 'family' for brian's wife and children should he have elevated himself to that category. And it's ok to see things differently. Way back in the mists of time, I was swimming against the tide here in the absolute certainty that Brian had done himself in, in some remote area, close to home , though, not too remote, and that his body would be found ... ... it's no big deal to see things differently.

What is not arguable is the capability of the Laundrie's to inflict immeasurable torture on Gabby's extended family, which they did, day in , day out with not a quiver of remorse. What kind of psychosis does it take to maintain that degree of inhumanity for so long?? .What was that all about, even in Florida terms? . ..

I'm not confused about anything. You're confusing things.

A nuclear family (also known as an elementary family, atomic family, cereal packet family[1] or conjugal family) is a family group consisting of parents and their children (one or more),

An extended family is a family that extends beyond the nuclear family of parents and their children to include aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins or other relatives,

Here's the 20 minute long conversation that Cassie and her husband had with the protestors that were outside her home. You can judge for yourself how honest she's being and what she thinks of the whole situation.


Note that I'm only talking about Cassie when I said that I thought she was being upfront. Her parents, of course, are another matter. I just don't think Cassie's part of whatever scheming that the family was doing.

I don't think so either, and I'm almost certain the lawyers would be telling them not to talk to anyone about anything, including Cassie, who has young children. Jmo.

#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.

@BrianEntin

New court filing in the Petito vs. Laundrie civil lawsuit says that Brian Laundrie called his parents almost 2 weeks before Gabby was reported missing and said Gabby was "gone" and he needed a lawyer. Petito attorney Pat Reilly joins me on
@NewsNation tonight at 6pm to explain.

That's kind of what I'm saying. Whatever they did was apparently not against the law, which is important to remember. I understand the ethical standards can be much different, though. We don't yet know exactly how much the Ls knew about what happened, but if the Ps can prove that they knew GP was dead and where her body was, even before she was "missing," I think a civil suit is totally justified. JMO.
Lack of prosecution isn't evidence of a lack of law-breaking. Law enforcement agencies don't always pursue criminal offenses for many reasons, including whether or not they can secure a conviction (different from whether they have good reason to believe that someone has committed a crime), and not wanting to spend taxpayer dollars on investigating and prosecuting a particular offense.

BBM. Brian was not married and had no children.

Brian's parents did not inflict any "torture" on Gabby's family. If they lose this lawsuit, they most certainly will appeal, as would I.

BBM. What is the evidence that a crime was committed by his parents? Thanks.

None.

This is civil, meaning emotional or financial distress, emotional in this case.

Sum total of inflicted emotional distress is this statement the Laundries made through their attorney:

"This is understandably an extremely difficult time for both the Petito family and the Laundrie family. It is our understanding that a search has been organized for Miss Petito in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. On behalf of the Laundrie family it is our hope that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is re-united with her family. On the advice of counsel the Laundrie family is remaining in the background at this juncture and will have no further comment."

If the Laundries had remained silent, made no statements, then their lawsuit would have been dismissed on the grounds that they had the constitutional right to remain silent.

Very bad counsel from their attorney who is also being sued for the same reason. Rather than just representing the Laundries, as defense counsel does, he was actually complicit in causing the plaintiffs emotional distress.
