Gabby Petito's mother is keeping the memory of her murdered daughter alive by speaking out on behalf of domestic abuse survivors.
Gabby Petito's mother Nichole Schmidt speaks during an interview with The Associated Press, Monday, Aug. 1, 2022, in New York. The Gabby Petito Foundation is donating $100,000 to the Hotline. Even in hindsight, Nichole Schmidt can't be sure if anything could have been done to save her daughter Gabby Petito from a messy and violent relationship that ended in murder nearly a year ago in the western wilderness.
“I think Gabby’s story touched a lot of people and she’s saving lives. I get people messaging me all the time that they were inspired by her to get out of a relationship,” Schmidt said during an interview with The Associated Press. The big increase in calls has led to a longer wait time for a counselor, going from 7 minutes to more than 17 minutes, according to Katie Ray-Jones, the hotline’s chief executive officer.
Investigators believe Petito’s boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, killed her in late August last year while the couple were on a cross-country trip in a van.
