Did the Petito family finally get the answers they craved?

After a long and agonizing legal battle, the family of Gabby Petito has reached a confidential settlement with the family of Brian Laundrie.  On this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski welcomes retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to discuss the resolution of the lawsuit and its potential impact.

“This was about truth…having the laundries and Bertolino shown for the really shysters and liars they were during this process,”  Coffindaffer asserts.

Brueski and Coffindaffer agree that the journey to the settlement was more crucial for the Petitos than the outcome itself.  They analyze what drove the family's determination, highlighting how discovery turned the case and exposed the shocking truth about the laundries' actions.

"I don’t think anybody can say the laundry name or the Bertolino name without just having disdain,” Coffindaffer reflects, referencing the now-infamous campfire scene.

The discussion shifts to a positive note:  has Gabby's tragic death created a ripple effect?  Coffindaffer shares a personal conversation with Gabby's mom, who is determined to continue her advocacy for missing persons and domestic violence victims.  They explore the unprecedented awareness of missing persons cases sparked by Gabby's story.

Could the confidential settlement give the Petitos the closure they've desperately sought?  Did this case permanently change the way we approach missing persons investigations? Join the conversation on this poignant episode of Hidden Killers.
