YouTuber 'Molly Golightly' screams outside Brian Laundrie's home in viral video

Marissa Zdazisky, who posts on YouTube as 'Molly Golightly,' stood outside Brian Laundrie's house and screamed at the top of her lungs in a livestream

On Friday, reporters who were waiting outside Brian Laundrie's house filmed a woman who had flown down from Hersey, Pennsylvania just to rant at the missing 23-year-old's family. 

A video of the woman, later identified as Marissa Zdazisky, was filmed and uploaded by NewsNation reporter Brian Entin on Twitter. And it went viral for obvious reasons. In the video, Zdazisky stood right outside Laundrie's house and the adjoining property as she screamed at the top of her lungs, pointing at the home of Gabby Petito’s boyfriend. Petito's case has caught the attention of the entire world, with a number of small-time celebrities and social media influencers choosing to get involved either for clout or to genuinely help in solving the 22-year-old vlogger's murder.

Gabby Petito case: Here are all the questions that left cops scratching their heads

Petito and Laundrie had embarked on a cross-country trip back in July and on September 1, he returned home without her in the van they had traveled in together during the trip. Laundrie has reportedly not been seen since September 14 and was confirmed 'missing' on September 17. This led police to search the nearby Carlton Reserve for Laundrie, but with zero luck so far. Since then, Gabby's body has been discovered in a Wyoming park by the authorities. Teton County Coroner Dr Brent Blue confirmed the vlogger's death was a homicide but the immediate cause of death is still unclear as police are still waiting for the final autopsy results.

'Dirty Laundrie'

Zdazisky was seen dressed in all black, with shades on and carrying a handbag as she ranted outside Laundrie's house. “And they’re just sitting there. Peeking out their windows. Well, I’m dirty,” she declared, facing the house and turning her back to the cameras. “Dirty Laundrie” she said repeatedly adding, “This house should be burned! That’ll get you out.”

Turning to the camera crew who was recording her, she said she wants to see Laundrie’s family fined for the search of the missing 23-year-old man. “They know what happened. Or he lied. Because I’m going to tell you something. What got my heart was when I saw the manipulation that their son did with those cops in Utah. He had those cops eating out of the palm of his hand. That’s talent," she said. 

She also referred to Petito’s fiance as being actually psychotic. “That girl was troubled! I think she saw something. And then to separate them. How are you going to separate her in the camper while he’s at a hotel? No! No. I’m sorry, this is not right," she said, demanding that the FBI drag Laundrie’s family out of the home and give some answers about Petito’s death. “This does not make sense. I got free speech too. I’m not trying to be a drama queen, but the more I see, everyone is reacting to this," she said. 

Who is Marissa Zdazisky?

While the woman mentioned her name was Marissa Zdazisky, she is better known by her YouTube moniker "Molly Golightly." The YouTuber's Instagram bio reads, 'Life Coach, Lover of pugs, tamales, chocolate, & travel. #StJude supporter.' All the while that she was at North Port, Florida, outside Laundrie's house, she was also live streaming her antics on her YouTube channel with the title, 'I’m at the Laundries #justiceforgabby.'

She has over 42,000 subscribers on YouTube and just over 4,000 subcribers on Instagram. As a result, people slammed her on Twitter for using the Gabby Petito case for clout. "Lmaooo who is this woman?! I feel her but she flew there?!" one of them said, while another noted, "This is all for clout. Not right at all, she is litterally just trying to get views on her YouTube channel. And if that wasn't the case, she wouldn't have 2 separate videos up already of her being there. Smh." A third stated, "Won't even look, no more views for her." One more commented, "I only watched a few seconds and was like nope not for me!"

The next quipped, "People actually spending money on plane tickets and protesting this when there is so much wrong with the world...smdh." A commenter tweeted, "Ranting at a house does nothing. Getting involved in lobbying and changing laws, even at a local level, is the only way to make a lasting difference." One more remarked, "Omfg Molly (Shes a 'true crime' youtuber, I use that term very loosely.) This has been turning into a circus and is making my heart hurt even more for the Petito family." Another said, "Marissa Zdazinsky... from Wife Swap? Aka: Molly Golightly. Aka: Big Juicy. If so, she's been arrested by the FBI for theft in the past. You should check. If that's her, y'all being played. :(" A person reacted with, "Look I know there are lots of theories out there. And the activity of the family is suspicious. But let’s let the investigation play out and if they’re involved then nail them. Please stop giving air time to people who are clearly also ruining the neighbors lives."
