Judge Hunter Carroll told the Petito family's lawyers that they had 20 days to file an amended complaint due to a "perceived procedural deficiency" in the lawsuit. Media organisations camped outside the Laundrie family's home daily, often setting up camps on the rented lawns of neighboring houses in the area. Ms Petito's disappearance kicked off calls for more robust media coverage of other missing persons cases, including the hundreds of disappearances of Native American women that remain unsolved.
