Judge Denies Laundrie, Bertolino Motions To Dismiss In Petito Case

The Gabby Petito civil lawsuit in Florida is headed to trial after a judge denied all of the motions to dismiss the case.

The suit argues that Brian Laundrie’s parents knew that Petito was dead when they issued a public statement on Sept. 14, 2021, that said they hoped she’s reunited with her parents. At the time, law enforcement was investigating Petito’s disappearance as a missing person case.

The trial is scheduled for May 2024.
