In this episode, we're going to pick up where we left off with the Christopher Laundry deposition. Question. Did you ever learn at any time that you and/or your wife were the subject of a criminal investigation? Answer. Yes. Question. When? Answer. When the FBI was speaking about Roberta knowing something. Question. What's that? Answer. I don't know. It was, I guess, I really don't know. Question. Was it before or after Gabby's body was found? Answer. I think it was after. Question. And you know what date Gabby's body was found? Answer. Yes. Question. What? What's the date? Answer. The 19th. Question. Of September. Answer. Of September. Yeah. Question. You were possibly the subject of a criminal investigation or your wife was? Answer. Well, no, but I don't. I don't. What's the question again? Question. You just told me a moment ago that you learned after Gabby's death that your wife was possibly the subject of a criminal investigation. Correct? Answer. Well, that's when I, yeah, that's when she was. Question. Okay. For what? Answer. They thought that they had some sort of communication or some sort of electronic thing. Question. Is that when a new telephone was purchased? Answer. Is that when one was purchased? Question. Well, you said some kind of communication. Answer. Yeah. That's what they said. Question. Do you know what that specifically to this he's interrupted by Mr. Laundry? We have no idea what they really wanted. Then the question again resumes. Brian got a new phone when he came home, right? Answer. Yes. Question. Why did he get a new phone? Yeah. Question. Were you ever interviewed by any law enforcement agency prior to September 19th of 2021? Answer. We, I don't know if you can call it an interview, but they came to do a report of Brian missing. Question. That was on or after the 13th of September answer. It was after the 13th. Yeah. Question. Were you ever interviewed by any law enforcement personnel regarding Gabby missing? Answer. No. Question. Answer. I don't know, but I don't think so. Question. Were any charges filed against you or your wife? Answer. No. I'm going to show you what's been marked as plaintiffs exhibit four. That's not the one. Sorry. Plaintives exhibit three marked for identification. Plaintives exhibit three. Have you seen this before? Answer. Yes. Question. And that's a statement dated September 14th. It's a document dated 14th 2021 on attorney Bertolino's letterhead. Correct? Answer. Yes. Question. Did you authorize Mr. Bertolino to release this statement? Answer. Yes. Question. Were you aware that this statement was going to be issued before it was issued? Answer. Yes. Question. Had you been provided with a copy of it before it was issued? Answer. I have read this before it was issued. Question. Okay. That's a statement that was issued by attorney Bertolino on your behalf. Answer. Yes. Question. And on your wife's behalf? Answer. Yes. Question. First line says after it says statement from counsel for the laundry family. This is understandably an extremely difficult time for both the potato family and the laundry family. What led you to believe it was a difficult time for the potato family at that point? Answer. Well, everything that occurred. Question. Meaning what? Everything. Question. Meaning Gabby was missing and no one knew where she was. Answer. Yeah. Question. Okay. How was it a difficult time for the laundry family? Answer. We were worried about everything. Everything. Just the same. Question. What were you worried about? Answer. What occurred? Question. What do you mean? What occurred? Answer. Gabby's missing and Brian's missing. Question. So did there come a point between the time Brian disclosed to you that Gabby was gone and the issuance of this statement on September 14th, 2021, that you thought maybe she just didn't walk away. Answer. It was. It was becoming more of a thought. I guess. Yeah. Question. Is it fair to say by this point in time you knew she was dead? Answer. I didn't know. Question. You didn't know. Answer. No. Question. Okay. But you had a suspicion that she was correct. Answer. Unfortunately, it was a thought. Yeah. Okay. It goes on to state. It is our understanding that a search has been organized for Ms. Petito in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Answer. Right. Question. How did that come to be your understanding? Question. That was in the news. Question. It was on the news. Answer. I thought so. Question. And Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming, where Brian was when he contacted you? Answer. I have no idea. Question. Did you say, "Hey, maybe you should look in the Jackson area, maybe not Grand Teton National Park?" Answer. I didn't say anything to anyone. Question. Then it says, "On behalf of the laundry family, so he's speaking on behalf of you and your wife." Correct? Answer. No response. Question. Yes. Answer. Yes. Question. It's our hope that his, yours, and your wife's correct? Answer. Yes. Search for Ms. Petito is successful and that she's reunited with her family. Right? Answer. Yes. Question. If she was dead, she couldn't be reunited with her family, could she? Answer. Reunited is a term for either or, I think. Question. Either or what? Answer. Well, deceased or not. Question. But it doesn't say remains. It doesn't say we hope her remains are reunited with her family, does it? Answer. Well. Or what? Question. Pardon? That means reunited. Question. Okay. Answer. However, it resolved. Question. What did reunited mean when this statement was issued by your lawyer? What did you, he, and your wife mean by reunited? Answer. Well, you know, you're saying me and my wife, but I didn't write it and I believe it was a good comment to say and a decent thing to say and that's that. Question. You approved it, correct? Answer. I agreed with it. Yes. Did you have a concern about the word reunited? Answer. I didn't think of that. Question. Okay. Did you think maybe it might give false hope to the potato family that Gabby was still alive? Answer. I'm, I'm not the one. I'm not. I thought it was a good idea and a good thing and that's, you know, I thought it was not. I thought it was a good thing to say and the nice thing to say. Question. Did you think it might give Joseph Petito and his wife Nicole Schmidt and her husband false hope that Gabby was still alive? Answer. No, I didn't. Question. Okay. So your thought was reunited. Could she still be alive? Answer. My thought on reunited was reunited. I see it as what the word, what has the meaning of and I don't really, I don't know. I don't have a problem with it. Question. What? And to this he's interrupted by Mr. Laundry answer. You're asking me if I had a problem with it. I didn't have a problem with it. Question. So what meaning did you think it had when it was issued? Answer. Well, I'm not big on words. So my meaning is that they'd get to. They'd either Gabby's alive, my interpretation of the word or not. Question. You knew she wasn't alive. Answer. Well, Mr. Gilbert. Objection. The witness. I didn't. Mr. Gilbert. That's not a question. To this. Riley, the lawyer for the Petito's response. You know at that point she wasn't alive. Answer by Mr. Laundry. No, I didn't question. Why was this statement issued? Answer because there were people battering my house down. Everything was difficult. As far as us, you know, people, it was a very fearful time. So it felt like it was a time. It was demanded from me. How was this statement going to stop people from acting the way they were acting? Answer. I have no idea. To this the lawyer says, let me finish my question. Laundry. It seemed everyone. Again, let me finish my question. Gilbert responds, let him finish his question. Answer again. How is this statement going to stop people from reacting the way they were in front of your house? Answer. Well, I didn't think it would stop them, but I thought it would be an awareness that, you know, that they were calling out. Question. Okay. Answer. So that's that question. Were you looking for sympathy for yourself and your family? Answer. No, I didn't want any sympathy. Question. When you saw that there was a search at Grand Teton National Park, did you check to see if that was anywhere near Jackson? Answer. No, I didn't. Question. Did you consider the statement might cause harm to the family? No, not at all. Question. Do you think that the Petito family on September 14th, 2021, was really concerned about your hope that the search was successful? Answer. No. It was my hope. And then, and then it would be found. Everything would be resolved. Question. Do you think they really cared what your thoughts were at that point? Answer. I don't know what they thought. What else to do? Question. Now let's look at exhibit four. Have you seen this letter before? Answer. No. God, I don't think I have. Question. Were you aware that a statement was issued for or that this letter was issued by attorney Rick Stafford on behalf of Joseph Petito and Nicole Schmidt on September 15th of 2021? Answer. I was aware of it now, I think. I know I saw something on the news about the statement. Question. Okay, did attorney Bertolino provide you with a copy of this letter? Answer. I'm not sure. Question. Did you or attorney Bertolino on your behalf respond to this letter? Answer. I'm not sure. But I think we may have. Question. How do you think you responded? Answer. I don't know if we responded actually. So question. Do you think you saw this back on September 15th? Answer. I think I saw it in the news. Question. You saw it in the news. Answer. Yeah. Okay, so you're aware that the family was reaching out to you and your wife? Answer. Yes. Question. And you chose to say nothing. Answer. We didn't know what to say to them. We had nothing to say. We didn't have any information for them. Question. You what? Answer. We didn't have any information for them. Question. Well, you knew she was gone. Answer. I know. Question. In your son's words. Answer. And that's all the information that was known. And you know that your son was upset and frantic when he called and told you that she was gone. Correct?
