A Florida judge has allowed the parents of Gabby Petito to pursue a lawsuit against Brian Laundrie’s parents over a statement that allegedly gave the Gabby’s family false hope that their daughter was still alive. Brian confessed to his diary that he killed Gabby on Aug. 27, 2021, while the two were traveling in a van through the western U.S. According to Gabby’s parents, Brian sent text messages to Gabby’s mother while posing as his fiancée after killing her. According to the lawsuit, Brian returned alone to his parents’ home in North Port, Florida, on Sept. 1 and is believed to have vacationed with his parents at Fort DeSoto Park between Sept. 6 and Sept. 7. Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, Gabby’s parents, further allege that the Laundries ignored their frantic requests for information about their daughter; the Laundrie parents allegedly went so far as to block the text messages from — and the social media accounts of — Gabby’s parents. On this episode of Prime Time Crime, Attorney Andrew Yaffa joins Katrina Daniel for a deep dive into the Petito’s lawsuit.

Twenty-five years ago on July 15, 2017, Gianni Versace, Italian fashion designer, socialite and founder of the fashion empire that bears his name, was gunned-down as he entered his Ocean Drive, Miami Beach mansion after walking from his favorite breakfast place, The News Café, just a couple of blocks from his fabulous mansion. Versace was a regular on Miami Beach back in the late 90’s.... His designs were worn by the most-famous super models, his fashion shows were attended by the elite fashion followers of the day…the late Princess Diana, Madonna, Cindy Crawford. Gianni Versace brought the friendliness of his native Italy to Miami Beach, until that morning in July when American spree killer, Andrew Cunanan, decided to murder Versace. One of the country's largest manhunts ensued. Cunanan was hiding inside a Miami Beach boathouse and took his own life eight days following the murder. The motive has never been determined. Miami Herald Reporter, Howard Cohen, covered the case and he’s here to talk about things we couldn’t talk about back then. True crime lovers, this one’s for you!

We’re all grappling from the after-effects of the Uvalde school shooting, which left 19 children and two teachers dead. Now we’re wondering what happens next? There are flamethrowers of blame aimed at everyone, most notably, the responding law enforcement officers who apparently didn’t respond.

Attorney Andy Yaffa has successfully worked to help many victims of recent tragedies. He joins Katrina Daniel to answer many of those questions that we don’t always think about.
