Ms Petito went missing in August last year while she was travelling with Laundrie, who was her fiancee. Laundrie returned to Florida alone on 1 September and his body was found a month later.
The lawsuit claims Christopher and Roberta Laundrie concealed that their son had confessed to them about the murder and they hid it from investigators while the search was ongoing."In doing so, Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie acted with malice or great indifference to the rights of Joseph Petito and Nicole Schmidt," the lawsuit claims, adding that this conduct was"shocking, atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilised community.
Ms Petito and Laundrie were both from New York but moved to his parent's home in Gulf Coast, Florida in 2019.
