    The Laundries had to know their son was mentally disturbed.

    Brian Laundrie’s parents belong in jail, especially his monster mother
  • @lowlowseesee
    Him taking her license when she went out of town was the reddest flag ever. Doesnt mean you will be killed. But it’s a method of control and a clear sign to walk away for future young girls and women

    She was failed on so many points. Brian's illness was hidden, and the police in Utah blamed her after a bystander reported that she was being abused. After her death, her murderer's parents helped him escape and lied to authorities and ignored her parents' pleas. So much sadness in this.
  • I have zero sympathy for Brian and his parents. It’s incredibly sad to think about where she Gabby could have been today, had it not been for them. Rest in peace, Gabby 🕊️❤

    Roberta has Gabby’s blood on her hands. And she knows it.

    Gabby’s family is just lovely. Amazing what they have done in her honor. So much respect and prayers to all of them!

    Brian could do no wrong in the eyes of his parents, and they covered for his behavior his whole life. I guess if they addressed the issues with their son, they'd have to address the issues in themselves. Now, they'll have to live with this for the rest of their lives.
  • The grace and goodness of Gabby's loving blended family from the very beginning, in the face of the entitlement and lack of empathy of Brian's parents - let alone them aiding and abetting their clearly culpable, abhorrent son - is just wonderful and inspiring. I hope their foundation in Gabby's name goes from strength to strength x

    Ive read Choke, it has nothing to do with Brian or mental illness, I think the laundries should be in prison.

    So sad. This story..I followed the entire time. I lost my daughter at 25yrs old to a man and their relationship, which was just like this. 💔 He's locked up until 2033. 💔 Yesterday would have been her 32nd birthday. I miss her so much. I feel for this mother. I know her pain.
  • @MareMarMarie
    Parents who unleash their disturbed kids on unsuspecting partners should be held accountable too. I’m sure had Gabby or her parents known about him, there’s no way they would have let her be alone with him for another minute.
  • @jennifera7153
    Great interview. I didn’t know Gabby had a brother. Thank you for coming on TJ. I’m so sorry you lost your sister. You have her winning smile 🫶🏼

    Praying that Gabby Petito’s beautiful spirit can continue to live in the hearts of those who have loved her. She deserved so much better. 🙏

    They are the epitome of a grieving family giving back ❤️. A blended family gone right. Gabby and her family are example of turning a tragedy into helping others. #teamgabby #petitofoundation
