Regarding the Netflix documentary about the death of travel YouTuber Gabby Petito, who was allegedly killed by Brian Laundrie during a cross-country trip in 2021, the family of Laundrie has spoken out. Through text messages, films, and passages from Petito’s personal journals, as well as interviews with her family and friends, the three-part documentary series “American Murder: Gabby Petito” explores her life, disappearance, and death. In reaction to the documentary series, Steven Bertolino, the Laundrie family’s lawyer, sent a statement to TODAY. The show doesn’t feature Laundrie’s parents as interview topics. “The documentary lived up to our expectations. One viewpoint is presented as the “truth” as perceived by them. Like Republicans and Democrats squabbling these days. Both sides think their viewpoint is right.
With all the chaos and mistrust, it’s difficult to see things from the other person’s point of view,” he said in the statement. “There were numerous errors in the documentary, including incorrect timeline juxtapositions, misstatements, and omissions of facts—possibly intentional to convey their ‘truth,’ or possibly the result of simple error,” he added. “We all know Brian took Gabby’s life and Brian then took his own as well. Let Gabby and Brian’s parents grieve and remember them in peace. In an interview with TODAY.com before to the film’s February 17 premiere, Julia Willoughby Nason, one of the documentary’s directors, stated that her team contacted the Laundries while producing the documentary series. “We respect their decision not to participate,” she stated. “This is a very difficult story.”
In March 2022, NBC News reported on a civil complaint Petito’s family filed against Laundrie’s parents, accusing Christopher and Roberta Laundrie of interfering with the search for their slain daughter. According to NBC News, the Laundries’ attorney refuted the claims made in the lawsuit, which was filed in Sarasota County, Florida. Petito’s parents and Laundrie’s parents reached a “confidential resolution” in the case in February 2024 to which “all parties reluctantly agreed in order to avoid further legal expenses and prolonged personal conflict,” according to a joint statement by Petito’s parents that was shared with NBC News. In August 2021, Petito vanished while traveling across the country in a van with her fiancé, Laundrie. On September 19, 2021, her body was discovered in a Wyoming national forest, capping an extensive search.
According to a video released by NBC station WNBC in October 2021, a Wyoming coroner declared her death to be a homicide by strangling. According to NBC News, North Port, Florida police acknowledged Laundrie was a person of interest in Petito’s disappearance on September 15, 2021. Bertolino told NBC station WFLA via text message at the time that the Laundries thought their son had gone trekking on September 13 after telling authorities he had departed on September 14 when they reported him missing. On Oct. 20, 2021, an FBI official told reporters that human remains and Laundrie’s backpack and notepad were discovered in the 25,000-acre Carlton Reserve in Florida, as reported by NBC News. Following an examination of dental data, the FBI verified the remains were Laundrie’s one day later, according to WNBC. According to an attorney representing Laundrie’s family, who spoke to NBC News in November 2021, Laundrie committed suicide after being shot in the head. Additionally, the FBI declared in January 2022 that he had left behind writings that demonstrated his “responsibility” for Petito’s killing, according to NBC News.
