After the disappearance of Gabby Petito was reported, the Laundries released a statement through their lawyer.The statement said:“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 reunited with her family”In response to this, the lawsuit reads that it was outrageous the Laundrie’s could make such a statement.The complaint read:“For the Laundries to express their 'hope' that Gabrielle Petito was located and reunited with her family, at a time when they knew she had been murdered by their son, was beyond outrageous”As of now, the court is in recess. The decision as to whether or not the lawsuit will move forward shall be determined by the judge within the next few days.
