Invidious

Tonight on "Courtroom Insider," Dylan Rounds' mom and Gabby Petito's parents join me for an hour-long interview. They talk about what they've learned and answer your questions.

Candice Cooley, Dylan's mom, and Nichole Schmidt, Gabby's mom, have formed a close friendship over the past few years. Both Dylan and Gabby loved sunflowers, so the moms decided to get matching sunflower tattoos. Look closely and you'll see the letters G and D as the leaves.

These parents are inspiring and have a really important message to share. Hope you'll tune in tonight at 7 p.m. MT on the East Idaho News YouTube channel.

I am glad they have found each other and are friends. I imagine it would be nice to have a friend who understands the painful loss of losing a child the way they have.

Mad respect for Candace. She's one of a kind. She was laser focus to bring her boy home & against all odds, she's got it done!! My 💔 every time I see Dylan's sweet face

I’m so looking forward to watching this! I followed both of these tragic stories very close. My heart goes out to these two mothers. I lost my son when he was just 23 years old. A bit different, he was taken in a very tragic work accident due to the negligence of a co-worker. But what a mother goes through when she loses a child is something I pray no- one will ever have to experience. Funny coincidence, my son also loved sunflowers. His birthday was a few days ago and I took sunflowers out to him. 🌻🌻

Prayers of love and healing for these beautiful ladies who have lost so much ❤️ 🌻 I’ll plant sunflowers every year in loving memory of Gabby and Dylan. The world is behind you ladies more than you’ll ever know. I remember when Candice handed out seeds in memory of Dylan. A friendship forged by a club no one asks, or chooses to be in. You ladies have the ability to change the world for the Better. There needs to be someway to get the word out faster, sooner and further when a child or person goes missing, but doesn’t fit the criteria for an amber alert

Aww I'm glad they're supporting each other, we need more of this in true crime communities instead of drama between creators and families(cough, Chris Watts and Sebastian Rogers)
