Details of a “panicked” phone call made by Brian Laundrie to his parents shortly after killing his fiancée, Gabby Petito , have emerged following the release of new court documents.
Christopher and Roberta Laundrie revealed in an October 2023 deposition that their son called them in a “frantic” state to tell them “Gabby’s gone” and requested their help in finding an attorney.
“I asked him, you know, how is he doing, and he — you know, he was not calm and he got very excited and told me things had — you know, ‘Gabby’s gone’ and he got very frantic,” Christopher Laundrie recalled, according to a transcript of his deposition published Tuesday by WFLA.com, the website for Florida’s News Channel 8. “Everything was frantic and quick.”
Asked to clarify what Brian Laundrie was implying by Petito being “gone,” Christopher Laundrie replied, “Well, I have no idea what he meant.”
Supporters of Petito gathered at the entrance of Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port, Florida, in 2021.
