Petito parents: Laundries put attorney on retainer day after son came home

Gabby Petito's Parents File Amended Complaint Alleging Brian Laundrie's Parents Went on Vacation Even Though They 'Knew Where Her Body Was Located’
The new complaint makes several additional claims and calls the behavior of Brian Laundrie's parents "beyond outrageous."

“It is believed that on or about August 28, 2021, Brian Laundrie advised his parents that he had murdered Gabrielle Petito."
“On that same date, Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie spoke with Attorney Steve Bertolino, and sent him a retainer on September 2, 2021.”
