GABBY Petito’s mom, Nichole Schmidt, is suing Brian Laundrie’s estate for $30million in a new lawsuit after claiming his parents helped him flee.
Schmidt is filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida and is seeking damages of $30million.
The lawsuit claims that Laundrie intentionally killed Petito, according to the New York Post.
As a result, Schmidt and Gabby’s dad Joseph Petito “incurred funeral and burial expenses, and they have suffered a loss of care and comfort, and suffered a loss of probable future companionship, society and comfort.”
Schmidt’s lawsuit also demands a trial by jury, as well as judgment for compensatory damages.
Barry Spivey, who curated Laundrie’s estate, told Fox News Digital that one of his main roles “is to accept service of a summons on that lawsuit,” but he has “absolutely no responsibility to respond to it.”
“They needed somebody to accept service of process, but once that’s done, I’m done with it,” he said.
The new lawsuit comes as a civil lawsuit was filed by Gabby’s family in Florida on March 10.
