Gabby Petito‘s family has reached a settlement with her killer Brian Laundrie‘s family in their emotional distress lawsuit … but the details aren’t being released to the public.

An attorney for the Laundries, Steve Bertolino, released a statement on the settlement Wednesday, according to CNN, saying the two sides had reached an accord to avoid going to trial in the case.

Bertolino said the terms of the settlement are confidential … so, unclear exactly how much money they settled for, if any. But, it ends a years-long saga that began when Brian killed Gabby in late August 2021.

The Petito family also made a statement through their lawyer who said the sides “reluctantly agreed” to avoid a difficult legal battle and “prolonged personal conflict.”

A couple days after Laundrie killed Petito, he reportedly called his parents and told them Gabby was “gone” and he was going to need a lawyer before going on the run and sparking a statewide manhunt. He was later found dead, and the death was eventually ruled a suicide.

This call was apparently made weeks before Gabby’s body was found in Wyoming … a killing Brian later seemingly confessed to in a series of writings found at his death scene.

Petito’s family is still engaged in another lawsuit … as we previously reported, Gabby’s parents are suing the Moab City Police Department who interviewed Gabby and Brian on the side of the road in the weeks leading up to her death.

Gabby told officers Brian grabbed her face and scratched her … but cops only separated the couple for the day. GP was killed about two weeks later.
