OUTSIDE Laundrie House, a monument to Gabby Petito has been filled with flowers, photographs and condolences, and now a basket of “dirty laundry” has been added.
The laundry basket, bleach, detergent and a sign that says “Dirty Laundrie eats clean”.
There is also a can of Monster energy drink, which refers to an empty can of Monster discovered in the Fort De Soto Park studios conducted through Dog the Bounty Hunter.
A photo of the basket shared on Twitter through Fox reporter Michael Ruiz, and Twitter users responded to the post, calling it “disgusting. “
“This basket belongs to a Gabby. Gross memorial,” said one user, whose call is @Sophie_bea_.
The same user implored Ruiz to withdraw his message, writing, “Please don’t inspire this behavior!It’s dingy and dishonorable to have him next to Gabby’s memorial. “
Another user, @Tenisha2704, said, “I feel like it’s at the front door, not near the Gabby monument. “
And @QaisK cautioned that the basket itself may simply replace the nature of the monument in the eyes of the city: if it’s a landfill, the user wrote, “it may lead them to say ‘no more monument. ‘”
“I hope they don’t spoil anything smart,” @QaisK said.
With a monument in Gabby, Laundrie’s home has been the scene of common protests, one of which fell into his hands last September amid rising tensions in the streets.
John Riches, whom The Sun had interviewed exclusively about how he made a Gabby Petito song outdoors from Laundrie’s home, noticed on a tape that he dodged the swing of a neighbor yelling at Riches to get off the street.
The neighbor is seen in a video inaudibly yelling at Riches in the street as Riches and a woman accompanying him stand several meters away and watch to record the interaction.
“Where is your property?” Riches asks the neighbor, who is now one foot off Riches’ face.
“Don’t worry,” the neighbor replies. As Riches pulls out his phone, the neighbor hits Riches with his open hand, who begins to walk away.
The accompanying Riches shouts “hey” and the neighbor responds with a swear word: “Fuck you too. Get out of my property. “
Rich and the unidentified neighbor exchange words for an extended period of time before the neighbor fakes a punch, causing Riches and the family to back off.
Riches is heard telling that the neighbor would do more to not be friends with the laundries given his behavior, and that he filmed “assaulting me. “
Laundrie’s family circle made no connection to the protests, the monument or the location of his son, Brian Laundrie.
On Friday, Oct. 1, the circle of relatives made a call through his attorney, saying they believed Brian was still in Florida.
“They’re worried, they’re waiting to be discovered alive,” said the laundries’ family attorney, Steve Bertolino.
