The Laundries' lawyer, Steve Bertolino, who is also being sued, said Christopher and Roberta Laundrie (pictured at their Florida home in September 2021) 'did everything the right way, and they have no regrets'
Their lawsuit also accused the Laundries of trying to arrange a way for their son to flee the county, as well as accusing lawyer Bertolino of knowing Gabby was dead when he made a statement about the search for her.
On September 14, 2021, Bertolino issued a statement on behalf of Laundrie's parents to the media - at a time Gabby's parents say they knew Laundrie had killed her.
Bertolino said the Laundrie family hoped 'the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is reunited with her family.'  
Pat Reilly, who is representing Petito and Schmidt, says that the statement made by Bertolino is 'outrageous'.
The original lawsuit alleged that Laundrie's parents were aware that their son had killed Gabby and were not being forthcoming.
A statement released last month by Petito's parents said: 'When they did choose to speak, it was through statements issued by Steven Bertolino.'
Laundrie left his parents' home on September 13, and his remains were found in Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in October - after weeks of futile searches in a temporarily flooded park.
Police found him after water levels receded, along with a handwritten confession and a revolver.
