Cassie Laundrie recently shared postcards and text messages sent by Gabby Petito. Cassie once mentioned that Gabby was like a sister to her.
The postcards were sent for Cassie’s son and explained the adventures of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie and that they were enjoying their road trip.
However, the statement where she said that she did not talk to her brother since he came back to Florida alone on September 1 proved incorrect.
Steve Bertolino, Laundrie’s family attorney, confirmed on October 1 that Cassie Laundrie had seen her brother on September 1 and 6 while she joined the family at the Fort De Soto Park campsite in Pinellas County.
Gabby Petito’s remains were later found at a remote campsite in Wyoming, and her death was said to be a homicide.
In an interview with ABC News following Petito’s death announcement, Cassie Laundrie expressed her condolences and prayers to Gabby's family. She added that her family would remember the moments they have spent with her.
However, after Steve Bertolino's statement, protestors were spotted in front of Cassie Laundrie's house.
