Gabby Petito’s mother has filed a new lawsuit against Brian Laundrie’s estate.

Nichole Schmidt, the mother of Gabby Petito, filed a new wrongful death case in Florida on Friday against the curator of Brian Laundrie’s estate.

According to the lawsuit, Laundrie killed Petito on purpose, and as a result of his actions, Schmidt and Gabby Petito’s father, Joseph Petito, “incurred funeral and burial expenses, and they have suffered a loss of care and comfort, and they have suffered a loss of probable future companionship, society, and comfort.”

A jury trial and a judgment for compensatory damages are also demanded in the case.

The Petito family’s wrongful death case was “totally foreseeable,” according to Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino.

“This case will very certainly be dismissed, leaving the Petites with nothing more than a piece of paper stating what everyone already knows – that Brian was responsible for Gabby’s murder, as the FBI has said,” he added.

Barry Spivey, the limited curator of Laundrie’s estate, told Fox News Digital that one of his main responsibilities as a limited curator is to “accept service of a summons on that case,” but that he has “absolutely no duty to react to it.”

“They wanted someone to accept service of process,” he said of the complaint, but once that’s done, I’m done with it. Schmidt and Petito previously filed a civil complaint in Florida saying that Laundrie’s parents, Chris and Roberta Laundrie, were aware of their son’s murder and sought to aid him in eluding punishment. Bertolino filed a request to dismiss the complaint on March 30, claiming that the plaintiffs’ claims of “intentional infliction of mental distress” are unsupported by evidence.

Petito and Laundrie traveled cross-country in Petito’s van during the summer before her parents reported her missing on September 11. On September 1, Laundrie returned to their North Port, Florida, house in Petito’s van without her. At the time, he and his parents did not disclose any information to police authorities and instead referred them to their attorney.

Petito’s bones were discovered by the FBI on Sept. 19 at a dispersed camping area within the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. Three to four weeks before her remains were recovered, Teton County Coroner Brent Blue declared that she had died of murder by strangulation.

Following that, Laundrie was named as a person of interest in Petito’s murder. In addition, the FBI filed a warrant for Laundrie on allegations of debit card fraud. Laundrie’s parents suspect he traveled to the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park and T. Marby Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve in Florida, where the FBI and local law enforcement officers focused their search for him on Sept. 13.
