'I ended her life:' Brian Laundrie reportedly confessed to murdering Gabby Petito in newly released diary



Brian Laundrie confessed that he murdered Gabby Petito, according to a new alleged diary entry that was reportedly discovered in a Florida nature preserve.

An eight-page diary written by Laundrie was released on Friday by his family's attorney Steven Bertolino.

"Today the Petito family attorney, Patrick Reilly, and myself met with the FBI in Tampa to sort through and take possession of the personal items that belonged to Gabby and Brian," Bertolino told Fox News. "As part of this return of property in FBI custody I was given Brian’s notebook and I have turned [the] same over to Chris and Roberta Laundrie."

In the notebook, Laundrie reportedly made a confession to the murder of his fiancé, Gabby Petito.

"I ended her life," Laundrie reportedly wrote in the notebook. "I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made."

Laundrie allegedly believed that Petito suffered an injury while the two were camping during their cross-country expedition. He claims that she is in "extreme" pain, but does not appear to make an effort to get her medical assistance.

The 23-year-old Laundrie mentioned trying to keep Petito warm and awake in the diary recovered from the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park on Oct. 20, 2021.

"I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made," Laundrie said in a possible murder confession. "I panicked. I was in shock."

Following Petito's death, Laundrie said he couldn't go on without her.

He said, "From the moment I decided, took away her pain, I knew I couldn't go on without her."

Laundrie wrote, "Please do not make life harder for my family. They lost a son and a daughter. The most wonderful girl in the world. Gabby I'm sorry."

He added, "I am sorry to my family. This is a shock to them as well [as] a terrible grief."

Petito's remains were found in Bridger-Teton National Forest on Sept. 19. A coroner ruled that Petito was a victim of a homicide by manual strangulation and blunt-force trauma to the head and neck.

The Sarasota County medical examiner revealed that Laundrie died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

"The cause of death has been determined to be a gunshot wound to the head. The manner of death has been determined to be suicide," the medical examiner said in a statement.

Gabby Petito's family sues Brian Laundrie's parents, lawsuit accuses them of knowing Gabby 'had been murdered by their son'



Gabby Petito's family have filed a civil lawsuit accusing Brian Laundrie's parents of knowing that their son killed their daughter and that they helped him avoid being brought to justice.

The lawsuit was filed on Thursday in Sarasota County, Florida – where Christopher and Roberta Laundrie live. The lawsuit does not declare a specific monetary amount, but notes that it would exceed $30,000, NBC News reported.

"Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie exhibited extreme and outrageous conduct which constitutes behavior, under the circumstances, which goes beyond all possible bounds of decency and is regarded as shocking, atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community," the lawsuit alleges, according to Fox News. "As a direct and proximate result of the willfulness and maliciousness of Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie, Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt had been caused to suffer pain and suffering, mental anguish, inconvenience, loss of capacity for enjoyment of life experienced in the past and to be experienced in the future."

The civil suit states, "It is believed ... that on or about August 28, 2021, Brian Laundrie advised his parents, Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie, that he had murdered Gabrielle Petito."

The civil action reportedly claims that Laundrie's parents were attempting to provide their son with passage out of the country to flee authorities.

Following an intense manhunt led by the FBI in the area near the home of Laundrie's parents, Brian's remains were discovered in Florida's Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in late October 2021. Autopsy results found that the 23-year-old Laundrie committed suicide and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a swampy park.

"Despite the fact that Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt implored Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie to tell them if their daughter was alive, and if she was not, where her remains were located, Christopher Laundrie and Roberta Laundrie refused to respond to either Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, or law enforcement," wrote the plaintiff's lawyer Patrick Reilly.

Steve Bertolino – Christopher and Roberta Laundrie's lawyer – denied the accusations in the lawsuit.

"As I have maintained over the last several months, the Laundries have not publicly commented at my direction which is their right under the law," Bertolino said in a statement on Friday.

“Assuming everything the Petitos allege in their lawsuit is true, which we deny, this lawsuit does not change the fact that the Laundries had no obligation to speak to law enforcement or any third-party including the Petito family," Bertolino added. "This fundamental legal principle renders the Petito’s claims to be baseless under the law."

Brian Laundrie died by self-inflicted gunshot to the head, medical examiner says



The Sarasota County medical examiner found that Brian Laundrie, the only person of interest in the death of Gabby Petito, died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.

"The cause of death has been determined to be a gunshot wound to the head. The manner of death has been determined to be suicide," read a statement from the medical examiner Tuesday.

The finding closes one of the last questions in the case that made headlines across the country. Petito was on a cross-country van trip with Laundrie, her fiancé, when she disappeared. Suspicion fell onto Laundrie, who also disappeared from his family's home and became the object of a massive manhunt.

Laundrie's remains were found in the Mabry Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve weeks after the remains of Petito were found at the Teton-Bridger National Forest. A medical examiner found that she had been killed by strangulation.

His remains, including part of a skull, were found next to a backpack and several of his personal items, including a notebook. Laundrie's father was the first person to find the remains, as he had joined the law enforcement search for his son.

Police had only issued a warrant for the arrest of Laundrie over his fraudulent use of a debit card after Petito died.

Prior to the newest finding of the medical examiner, Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt Hoffman said that it was likely Laundrie had committed suicide before the manhunt for him had begun.

"That guy went out there and by all accounts probably committed suicide, and he was right out there where we thought he was," Hoffman said. "There was four feet of water out there at the time."

Laundrie's family has said they will cremate his remains and not hold a funeral for him.

The case received increased interest when an hourlong video of an interaction between Petito, Laundrie, and several law enforcement officers was released to the public. Petito admitted that she hit Laundrie, but she claimed that he had grabbed her throat, something he denied. Police decided to release them after the long interview and classified the incident as a "mental/emotional health break."

Petito was killed several days later.

Brian Laundrie's Death Determined To Be Suicide, According To Family Attorneywww.youtube.com

Brian Laundrie likely committed suicide before manhunt even began: Police



Brian Laundrie likely killed himself before authorities even began looking for him, police said, according to a Saturday report from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

Laundrie's partial remains were discovered in Florida's Carlton Reserve following a lengthy manhunt.

What are the details?

Sarasota County Sheriff Kurt Hoffman said that though Laundrie's initial autopsy results were inconclusive, he believed that it was possible Laundrie committed suicide soon after fiancée Gabby Petito's disappearance, later found to be her murder.

Hoffman said that Laundrie, a person of interest in Petito's strangulation killing, most likely took his own life before local authorities began seeking his whereabouts on Sept. 15.

Petito's body was discovered four days later on Sept. 19, and Laundrie's remains were discovered on Oct. 20.

"That guy went out there and by all accounts probably committed suicide, and he was right out there where we thought he was," Hoffman said, according to the outlet. "There was four feet of water out there at the time."

Friday night at a law enforcement panel at the South County Tiger Bay Club, North Port Police Chief Todd Garrison added that his team initially mistook Laundrie's mother — who was wearing a ball cap and carrying a backpack — for her son while keeping watch over the family's home on Sept. 15, leading the agency to believe that Laundrie was at home when he wasn't.

The mistake, according to report, initially led the chief to tell local media that he knew Laundrie's whereabouts, a statement that prompted him to apologize on Friday.

"The surveillance team told me, 'Chief, Brian was seen going inside the house,'" Garrison said. "Now, we know that, by the time we became the lead agency, Brian had already left the house and presumably had already been deceased out in the Carlton Reserve."

He continued, "Later on, we found out that Brian had left the house and now the parents on Friday wanted to report him missing. There was nobody more surprised about that than me. In fact, when my officers went out to the house to do the report with the FBI, I sat with the deputy chief in my office, hoping that they would find Brian hiding in a back bedroom. I was hoping, maybe it was a ploy. It wasn't."

Garrison lauded the department for officers' work.

"I can tell you one thing," Garrison said, "the amount of work that was done, behind the scenes, 24 hours a day, from our team and the FBI team working on the second floor of the police department, was phenomenal work."

More Questions Arise After Remains Of Brian Laundrie Foundwww.youtube.com

Following autopsy findings, Brian Laundrie's family announces they will not have a funeral for their dead son



Brian Laundrie's family will not have a funeral for their deceased son, CNN reported.

What's a very brief history here?

Laundrie's partial remains were discovered in a remote area of a Florida reserve on Wednesday after he was last seen on Sept. 13.

He disappeared just days after the family of his fiancé — Gabby Petito — reported her missing after he returned home from a trip without her.

Petito's remains were discovered in a Wyoming national forest in September. Authorities determined that she was murdered by strangulation.

Laundrie was the sole person of interest in Petito's murder.

What are the details?

On Sunday, family attorney Steven Bertolino told CNN that the family will cremate Laundrie's remains and will not hold a funeral service.

"Brian Laundrie's autopsy has not provided a manner or cause of death and his remains are now being transferred to an anthropologist," Bertolino said in a statement.

Claudia Kelly-Bazan, a producer for Fox News, added that Laundrie's family would receive his remains "when the time comes."

Kelly-Bazan tweeted, "The #Laundrie family attorney tells me there will be no funeral for #BrianLaundrie. [H]is body will be cremated, and given to his parents Chris & Roberta when the time comes."

Among Laundrie's skeletal remains were personal belongings, according to various reports, including a backpack and a personal notebook.

On Thursday, Bertolino reported that Laundrie was "upset" and "grieving" when he left the family home for the last time on Sept. 13.

He added, "These are parents that are suffering. Now, I understand that whatever happened or whatever didn't happen ... this is tragic for two families. And anybody with a child, and anybody with a sense of humanity can understand the frustration that both families feel on that point."

FBI Confirms Brian Laundrie's Remains Found in Florida Reservewww.youtube.com

Laundrie family attorney explains why human remains in Fla. park are very likely those of Brian Laundrie



An attorney for the family of Brian Laundrie — person of interest in the murder of his fiancée, Gabby Petito — said that the human remains discovered in a remote area of a Florida park likely belong to the missing 23-year-old.

Authorities deemed Petito's death to be murder by strangulation after finding her body several weeks after her disappearance.

Laundrie disappeared in September after Petito's body was a discovered in a Wyoming national park.

What are the details?

According to a report from CNN, attorney Steven Bertolino said that "the probability is strong that it is Brian's remains" that were discovered on Wednesday evening at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in Florida.

"It's quite sad, as you can imagine as a parent, finding your son's belongings alongside from the remains," Bertolino said. "That's got to be heartbreaking. And I can tell you that they are heartbroken."

Laundrie's parents — Chris and Roberta Laundrie — along with investigators found personal effects belonging to Laundrie including a backpack and notebook near human remains while searching the Carlton Reserve in North Port, Florida.

Chris and Roberta helped detect their son's belongings in the park on Wednesday — a move their attorney said was mere "happenstance."

"As they went further in, Chris ventured off the trail into the woods," Bertolino described. "He was zigzagging in different areas, law enforcement was doing the same thing. And Roberta Laundrie was walking down the trail. At some point, Chris locates what's called a dry bag. The dry bag is a white bag, laying in the woods, say 20 feet or so off the trail."

According to Bertolino, the dry bag was in a patch of brambles, and Chris reportedly didn't want to disturb the bag before law enforcement were able to see it.

Chris, however, reportedly could not find law enforcement and "didn't want to leave the bag there with a news reporter standing nearby" so he picked it up and met up a short time later with authorities.

"[Law enforcement] looked at the contents of the bag," Bertolino explained. "At that time, law enforcement officers showed him a picture on the phone of a backpack that law enforcement had located also nearby and also some distance off the trail."

At that point, authorities told the Laundries that they also discovered remains near the backpack, and asked the two to leave the preserve.

By Thursday morning, K-9 units and off-road vehicles were seen entering the reserve for further investigation.

A medical examiner on Wednesday evening said that formal identification of the remains may take some time.

A source close to the investigation said that the remains "appear to have been there a while."

"Based on the condition of the remains, it may take some time to officially identify [the body]," the source told CNN. "It is going to be a very thorough process with the medical examiner."

The remains, according to local authorities, were reportedly discovered in an area that has been under water until recently.

The Laundries, according to the report, decided to visit the park to search for their son on Wednesday because it was the first time it was open to the public since the search for Laundrie began.

"The parents had assumed that the experts, the FBI and all the tracking teams they had would be able to locate Brian based upon the information that we had provided them to the specific areas and trails in the park that Brian liked to visit," Bertolino said. "The park had been closed to the public. There was really no other reason for the Laundries to go search anywhere else."

What else?

A Thursday report from the New York Post, which cited a search and rescue expert, explained that cadaver dogs could end up sniffing out more body parts at the park following the grisly discovery in the coming days and weeks.

Peace River K9 Search and Rescue president Michael Hadsell — who was not involved in the search for Laundrie — told the outlet that cadaver dogs may not initially have been able to detect any human remains due to parts of the reserve being under several feet of water.

“The problem is people don't understand that dogs are not body finders, they are odor hunters," Hadsell said.“They chase the odor of human remains, and the problem is that there are times when odor is not making the best presentation."

“In this case, the search conditions that they were in initially were really bad, so the probability was more in the 20 percent success rate because there was water in that area," he added.

Hadsell explained that due to the location of the remains, other factors could prove to be challenges in finding what may be the full scope of the remains due to animals in the area.

"This is Florida, so there are a lot of critters out there that want to come out and eat you," he explained. “A lot of these remains found in these wilderness areas are what we call 'scattered remains' because the critters have grabbed pieces of the body and have dragged them off. And that's what we spend a lot of time searching — the other parts."

Hadsell added that if authorities don't find complete remains soon, they may come back as the area continues to dry out.

“When animals come through there and they're looking for something to eat, they see the body and that's an easy meal," he explained. “Oftentimes, these critters just grab a piece and walk off with it. ... They put out a chart of the human skeleton, which serves like a map. Every time a bone comes in, they will identify it with that chart, and slowly they will be able to put the pieces together."

Apparent Human Remains Found After Brian Laundrie's Possessions Located In FL Park www.youtube.com

Human remains allegedly found near Brian Laundrie's possessions in Florida nature reserve



Law enforcement officials searching for Brian Laundrie have discovered what they believe to be partial human remains in a Florida nature reserve nearby several personal items belonging to the fugitive, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.

According to Fox News, investigators found "what appear to be human remains" during a cadaver dog search in Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port, Florida, alongside "some articles belonging" to Laundrie.

Laundrie's parents coordinated with law enforcement and assisted investigators in the Wednesday search, family's attorney Steven Bertolino said.

The site where the apparent human remains were found was previously underwater, NBC News reported.

The remains have not been confirmed to be Laundrie's, but the Sarasota County medical examiner has been called to the scene to begin the process of identification. The FBI is now also leading a thorough search of the area and is expected to address the discovery in a news conference later this afternoon.

In a statement, Bertolino said, "Chris and Roberta Laundrie went to the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park this morning to search for Brian."

He added: "The FBI and NPPD were informed last night of Brian's parents' intentions and they met Chris and Roberta there this morning. After a brief search off a trail that Brian frequented, some articles belonging to Brian were found. As of now, law enforcement is conducting a more thorough investigation of that area."

The news comes just shortly after a blogger noticed a small change on Laundrie's Pinterest account that potentially indicated that he was still alive.

Laundrie, 23, who is the sole person of interest in the Gabby Petito murder case, has been missing for more than a month since returning home to North Port without his fiancé in early September.

Petito's remains were discovered Sept. 19 in Wyoming near a campsite in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and a medical examiner later determined that she had been strangled to death weeks before being found.

The 22-year-old had been missing since Sept. 11. She and Laundrie were traveling on a cross-country trip when she inexplicably disappeared.

In recent weeks, law enforcement have led an exhaustive search for Laundrie centering on the Carlton Reserve in Florida where he frequently visited.

Given their location of nearby personal items belonging to Laundrie, it would not be surprising if the apparent remains were found to be Laundrie's. However, it should be noted that the manhunt for Laundrie has turned up at least five bodies of missing persons.

Brian Laundrie's dad joins search for missing son at request of law enforcement; Gabby Petito's father: 'I want to see him in a jail cell for the rest of his life'



In the latest update on the disappearance of Gabby Petito's former fiancée, the father of Brian Laundrie was at the Florida nature preserve to help track down his missing son at the request of law enforcement.

The manhunt for Brian Laundrie enters its third straight week on Friday. There was a new member of the Brian Laundrie search party – Chris Laundrie, the father of the missing 23-year-old fugitive.

"Chris Laundrie is assisting Law Enforcement today in the search for Brian," a statement from Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino said. "Chris was asked to point out any favorite trails or spots that Brian may have used in the preserve.

"Although Chris and Roberta Laundrie provided this information verbally three weeks ago it is now thought that on-site assistance may be better," the statement added. "The preserve has been closed to the public and the Laundries as well but the parents have been cooperating since the search began."

North Port Police said they didn't make the request for the dad to assist with the search, noting that such a request would have come from the FBI – the lead agency on the case.

Chris Laundrie entered the reserve around 10 a.m. and left the park just after 1:30 p.m., according to WTVT.

"There were no discoveries but the effort was helpful to all," Bertolino said Thursday afternoon. "It seems the water in the Preserve is receding and certain areas are more accessible to search. The entire Laundrie family is grateful for the hard work of the dedicated members of law enforcement that have been searching the Preserve for Brian over the last few weeks. Hopefully Brian will be located soon."

Earlier this week, the attorney was asked if Brian's parents believe he is in the preserve or another area, and he responded, "No, they don't believe he's in another area. They believe he is in the preserve."

Gabby Petito's father reveals what he wants to happen to Brian Laundrie

During a "Dr. Phil" interview that aired Wednesday, Gabby Petito's family from Long Island, New York, articulated what has been going through their mind since the murder of their 22-year-old daughter in Wyoming.

"Petito's body was found about a five-to-ten-minute walk from where her van was last seen near the entrance to the Grand Tetons, on the border of Bridger-Teton National Forest," the family said according to WFLA-TV.

"You could see where the rocks had been moved to make the fire ring," said Gabby's stepfather Jim Schmidt. "It's definitely not an area that was heavily trafficked."

Petito's family told host Dr. Phil McGraw that they called and texted Brian's parents when they couldn't get in touch with Gabby, but the couple never replied.

"A normal parent, when you text someone that 'you're gonna call the cops cause you can't find your child' they would reply," Gabby's father Joseph Petito said. "No response. No nothing."

"I do believe they know a lot more information than they're putting out there," Gabby's mother Nichole Schmidt said of the Laundrie parents.

Gabby's family told Brian, "Turn yourself in."

"You're only making it worse. For us, and for himself, and for his family. Let us have some closure," Jim Schmidt said.

"I want to look him in the eyes," Nichole Schmidt said of Brian Laundrie.

Joe Petito said he wants Laundrie found alive so he can spend the rest of his life behind bars.

"I want to see him in a jail cell for the rest of his life where – he's an outdoorsman – being in that concrete cell and he can't go see those trees and hug – and smell the fresh air like that," the grieving father said.

In late September, Laundrie's parents released a statement through their attorney, "Chris and Roberta Laundrie do not know where Brian is. They are concerned about Brian and hope the FBI can locate him. The speculation by the public and some in the press that the parents assisted Brian in leaving the family home or in avoiding arrest on a warrant that was issued after Brian had already been missing for several days is just wrong."

Brian's sister said she has been cooperating with authorities "since day one." Cassie Laundrie addressed the accusations that her parents may have assisted their son during a "Good Morning America" interview that aired on Tuesday.

"I don't know if my parents are involved," Cassie Laundrie said. "I think if they are, then they should come clean."

Cassie also gave a message to Brian, "I would tell my brother to just come forward and get us out of this horrible mess."

"I worry about him. I hope he's OK, and then I'm angry and I don't know what to think," Cassie continued. "I hope my brother is alive because I want answers just as much as everybody else."

Brian Laundrie remains a person of interest in the Gabby Petito case, but has not been named a suspect in her homicide.

The U.S. District Court of Wyoming issued a federal arrest warrant for Laundrie for bank fraud charges. Laundrie reportedly used a debit card and PIN number for accounts that did not belong to him, according to the indictment. He allegedly ran up charges totaling over $1,000 between the dates of Aug. 30 and Sept. 1. A grand jury indicted him for his "use of unauthorized devices."

Exclusive: Gabby Petito's Family Speaks Out www.youtube.com

Brian Laundrie's sister urges him to turn himself in, is unsure whether their parents are involved in his disappearance — and says he briefly came home after physical altercation



Cassie Laundrie has urged her brother, Brian Laundrie, to turn himself in after going missing following his girlfriend's murder and said that she doesn't know whether her parents are involved in his inexplicable disappearance.

She also revealed that her brother returned home to Florida — without the late Gabby Petito — approximately five days after Utah police questioned the two about a domestic dispute in which Brian was reportedly seen hitting Petito.

What are the details?

In remarks caught on camera and obtained by News Nation, Cassie said Brian flew to the family's Florida home around Aug. 17 without Petito, but returned to Petito's side before she went missing and was ultimately found dead.

Cassie, who delivered the remarks to a group of people gathered outside her home, said that she visited with her brother during his mid-August visit and that nothing seemed amiss, adding that he did not state that the two got into an argument.

"He was telling me where they were going next," she recalled. "I FaceTimed with Gabby and [my] kids on that trip."

When asked if she believed her brother killed Petito, or if her brother was even alive, she answered, "I don't know."

Elsewhere during the interview, Cassie said that there was a rift between her family concerning the ongoing case.

When asked if she believed that her parents were involved in Brian's disappearance or had an idea on his whereabouts, she responded, "I don't know."

"I am losing my parents, and my brother and my children's aunt and my future sister-in-law on top of this, and you are not helping," she told the crowd. "This is not how we want the world to find out when we're angry and upset. But I can't have my kids crying for three days in a row."

When asked why she felt that she was "losing" her parents, she responded, "[B]ecause they are not talking to us, either."

She added that she had no idea why her parents refused to speak with her or her husband.

"If I knew, I would say," Cassie continued. "I don't know."

Cassie's husband, James Luycx, told those gathered, "The sooner he is found, the sooner this is over for us."

Brian remains a person of interest in Petito's death after her remains were discovered Sept. 19 near a Wyoming park, and there is an active warrant out for Brian's arrest on fraud charges for purportedly using someone's bank card around the time that Petito disappeared.

What else?

Cassie doubled down on her suggestion that Brian come forward, and on Tuesday told "Good Morning America" that if her parents are involved, they also "need to come clean."

During the interview, Cassie said that she simply didn't know "what to think" about what happened between her brother and Petito during their cross-country trip that this was the end result.

She added that if her parents — Christopher and Roberta Laundrie — had anything to do with their son's disappearance, they need to own up.

"I don't know if my parents are involved," Cassie said. "I think if they are, then they should come clean."


She continued, vowing that if she'd heard from her brother, she would have turned him in.

"I really wish he had come to me first that day with the van because I don't think we'd be here," Cassie insisted. "I would tell my brother to just come forward and get us out of this horrible mess."

Cassie added that she waffles between concern and anger, but that at the end of the day, she wants answers.

"I worry about him. I hope he's OK, and then I'm angry and I don't know what to think," she admitted. "I hope my brother is alive because I want answers just as much as everybody else."

'Dog the Bounty Hunter' tells BlazeTV's Chad Prather that Brian Laundrie will be 'brought in ALIVE'



"Dog the Bounty Hunter" star Duane Lee Chapman joined "The Chad Prather Show" via phone on Tuesday and offered insight into the manhunt for Brian Laundrie.

Brian Laundrie — Gabby Petito's fiance — left for a cross-country trip with Gabby Petito in mid-June. He returned on Sept. 1 without her and is currently on the run from authorities.

Chad asked if Chapman intended to bring Laundrie in alive. Chapman said he carries non-lethal ammunition, adding that he would apprehend the fugitive using non-lead bullets.

Chapman added that Laundrie is not a professional and would eventually slip up and get caught soon.
