Gabby Petito’s family is making it no secret that they certainly want to see Brian Laundrie pay for his “crimes” as he is the number one suspect in the death of the young social media star.
In fact, the family came together for a heartbreaking interview with 60 Minutes Australia, in which they said that they “want vengeance” and justice for Gabby’s death. Here’s what you need to know.
Gabby Petito’s Family Want Justice: Demand Brian Laundrie ‘Pay For His Crimes’
Gabby’s father Joe Petito said the fact that Brian Laundrie’s family have refused to discuss the case or even cooperate with authorities has been “tortuorous.” He said, “If they do know something, and they’re withholding that, and they don’t want to let us know, that’s cruel.”
Gabby Petito was reported missing and found dead after she and her boyfriend Brian Laundrie embarked on a country-wide road trip this past summer. However, Brian returned home to Florida on September 1st without his girlfriend, and 10 days before her mother reported her missing.
Her body was found on September 19 in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park. The coroner said DNA samples were taken by law enforcement.
“My very last sentence was I love you. And her last sentence to me was ‘I love you too’,” Joe said, to which her step-dad, Jim Schmidt, added, “Gabby was 22-years-old. Her life was stolen from her… stolen from us.”
Meanwhile, Laundrie family lawyer Steven Bertolino released a statement after an autopsy determined Gabby Petito was strangled.
“Gabby Petito’s death at such a young age is a tragedy,” Bertolino said. “While Brian Laundrie is currently charged with the unauthorized use of a debit card belonging to Gabby, Brian is only considered a person of interest in relation to Gabby Petito’s demise. At this time Brian is still missing and when he is located we will address the pending fraud charge against him.”
