In a shocking new interview, Gabby Petito's mum Nichole Schmidt has revealed exactly what she thinks about Brian Laundrie's parents.

In 2021, Gabby Petito went on a road trip with her fiancé Brian Laundrie.

Her family soon became concerned when Brian returned home alone and refused to tell them where she was.

A month after she was reported missing and on 19 September 2021, Gabby's body was discovered in a National Forest in Wyoming.

An autopsy report later confirmed that her cause of death was homicide by 'blunt-force injuries to the head and neck with manual strangulation'.

After police filed a warrant for Brian's arrest, he too disappeared and was later found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and a note by his body seemingly admitting to killing his fiancée.

At the time of Gabby's disappearance, Brian's parents, Christopher and Roberta Laundrie, repeatedly refused to cooperate with authorities and of being aware of the 22-year-old's murder.

They fell under intense scrutiny, with people believing that they were withholding vital information about the case.

Now, in a bombshell interview on The Squeeze podcast, hosted by actor Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay, Gabby's mum, Nichole Schmidt, has shared what she thinks of the Laundries.

She said the last time she spoke to them was when they travelled to New York to pick up Gabby's belongings to take to Florida to live with Brian.

Nichole explained: "I think we texted a couple times, we were Facebook friends. I thought they were just quiet people and I'm okay with that. You don't have to be my best friend but I never actually spoke to them after that until I saw them when they did the depositions for our lawsuit."

After the hosts expressed how infuriating they found the Laundries' lack of cooperation while Gabby's death was under investigation, she said: "Everybody feels the same. I don't understand... I can't comprehend anything.

"If it was the other way around, I would've called them immediately. I mean, I texted her asking if they'd heard from the kids. I said, 'Did you hear from the kids? I haven't heard from them', and I got nothing back."

Nichole went on to claim that this was because Brian's parents knew he'd killed her daughter.

She continued: "They helped him. They hired an attorney out in Wyoming. They put a retainer down on a very high-profile attorney, which we didn't know until the depositions."

The Laundries' lawyer, Steven Bertolino, declined to comment about the claims when approached by Tyla.
