“I want to personally thank the press and news media for giving the Petito and Schmidt family time to grieve,” Petito family lawyer Richard Stafford said. “We will be making a statement when Gabby is home. I will contact you to arrange a time and location.”
Petito’s scumbag boyfriend Brian Laundrie is on the run from authorities and assumed to be hiding out in the Florida Everglades.
