Fox News
Panicked Brian Laundrie had a Wyoming defense team in place well before his murdered fiancee Gabby Petito was reported missing, according to new court filings.
The new document, filed Thursday after Petito lawyer Pat Reilly deposed the Laundries and Bertolino, claims that Laundrie told his parents in a "frantic" phone call on Aug. 29 "that Gabby was ‘gone’ and he needed a lawyer." Brian hung up on Chris. I said, When Brian calls you back, give him my number, and you tell him to call me. You do not talk to him. Michael Ruiz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

On Sept. 2, according to the document, Laundrie's parents relayed that information to Bertolino and sent him a retainer. That same day, the filing states that "Bertolino entered into a fee agreement with Fleener Peterson LLC" – a criminal defense firm in Laramie, a six-hour drive from where Petito's remains were found. She had been bludgeoned and strangled.
