Brian Laundrie's parents have broken their silence following the release of Netflix documentary American Murder: Gabby Petito, defending their son.

Brian Laundrie's sister says she hasn't spoken to her parents in two years amid fallout from a new docuseries that reveals text messages between her and her mom that shows them joking about how police let Gabby Petito's killer slip out under their nose before ultimately killing himself in a park nearby.

Petito’s parents, Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, are currently suing the Laundries after claiming they knew that their son had intentionally killed their daughter and refused to tell them.
