Citing a constitutional right to silence, the parents of Brian Laundrie have asked a Sarasota County, Florida court Wednesday to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Gabby Petito s parents.
Gabby s parents, Nichole Schmidt and Joseph Petito filed the civil lawsuit against Chris and Roberta Laundrie last week in Sarasota County, Florida - seven months after their daughter was killed.
Officers Eric Pratt and Daniel Robbins had pulled the couple over in Moab, Utah, on August 12, 2021, after they responded to a call from a witness who saw the couple involved in a domestic fight.
Petito, 22, was was discovered dead in September on the edge of Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming , with an autopsy later concluding she died by strangulation and was ruled a homicide.
