The lawsuit involving the estates of Petito and Laundrie, filed in May, claimed Laundrie was liable for damages because he caused her death. A separate lawsuit, still pending in Sarasota, claims Laundrie’s parents wrongly concealed that he confessed to killing Petito before he returned home in September 2021 to Florida from their trip out West in a converted van.
Lawsuit against the boyfriend's estate settled so basically they'll get the five packs of chewing gum and the Mustang, if that's in his name.

I agree. Brian didn't have an estate.
I'm not sure why a court would rule that someone was entitled to the decedent's estate, when he was an adult and there isn't an estate left behind. What's the point? It's not like he'll ever make any money.
Apparently this is one lawsuit of two that her parents have against Brian's estate, and a second, suing the parents directly is still ongoing. It's Brian's estate that was settled, so maybe they got a thousand dollars. IMO her parents are sue happy lately, also suing the Utah police even though she died two weeks after they were stopped. Her parents should mourn their loss, enough already.
There are now 3 Gabby threads, maybe they all should be combined to one that covers everything since the main one was locked.

“The Petito family lost their daughter and they were also denied the opportunity to confront her killer,” said attorney Patrick Reilly in an email. “No amount of money is sufficient to compensate the Petito family for the loss of their daughter, Gabby, at the hands of Brian Laundrie.”

Christopher and Roberta Laundrie denied that claim.
It’s highly unlikely Laundrie’s estate has $3 million. Reilly called it “an arbitrary number” but that the Petito foundation would benefit from whatever amount is collected.
The Petito family has also filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against police in Moab, Utah

At this point, they're turning everyone's grief and empathy into irritation. Suing the Laundrie's is one thing -but bankrupting the beautiful city of Moab is another. What might be helpful is seeking to fund, through volunteer donations, a police academy sub-curriculum that uses footage from the police encounter with Gabby and Brian. As a learning tool for things to look for before deciding on the outcome of the police interaction. ON THE OTHER HAND, they did separate the two for the night and so didn't leave Gabby in imminent harms way. She had to reconnect voluntarily before they could get together again. Despite the flawed police report written up by one of the officers that completely mischaracterized Gabby's demeanor I don't think the outcome of that call went wrong. Gabby herself chose to connect again.

Hope, it would be considered by the jury or settlement - her own culpability.
The parents should blame themselves as well: it doesn’t look like they were close to Gabby to recognize that she had relationships issues so they didn’t provide parental guidance early on regarding Brian in particular.
It looks like a money grab, perhaps facilitated by lawyers.
The parents can draw themselves a salary, travel expenses, etc from the foundation.
Not cool.
We are becoming a society of “victims”- nothing is our own fault anymore..

I agree that it is better to have 1 thread, but we would need to slightly change the wording of the thread to make it more generic - something like Petito/Laundrie families crime and punishment?
The lawsuit against the parents of Brian Laundrie has not been settled. It's the lawsuit against Brian Laundrie's estate that has been settled. Those are two completely different lawsuits.
Maybe they secured the rights to his "story" so his parents can't sell a book/movie deal about him.
