This police camera video provided by the Moab Police Department shows Gabrielle “Gabby” Petito talking to an officer after police pulled over the van she was traveling in with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, near the entrance to Arches National Park on Aug. 12, 2021. A copy of the letter Brian Laundrie’s mother allegedly instructed him to “burn after reading” has been given to the parents of, whom the FBI says Laundrie admitted to killing before his own death in 2021.
A Florida judge ruled the undated letter written by Roberta Laundrie can be included as evidence in theand their lawyer, according to Tampa Bay news station WFLA, which obtained a copy. “Nothing can make me stop loving you, nothing will or could ever divide us no matter what we do, or where we go or what we say — we will always love each other,” the letter reportedly reads. “If you’re in jail, I will bake a cake with a file in it. If you need to dispose of a body, I will show up with a shovel and garbage bags.”
The letter was reportedly inside an envelope with “burn after reading” written on it. The Laundries’ lawyer claims the FBI already had the letter when authorities discovered Laundrie’s remains in a Florida park in October 2021. The Petitos’ lawyer contends the letter was found with his body. Law enforcement officials investigate the home of Brian Laundrie's parents in September 2021 in North Port, Fla. Petito, who was from Long Island, disappeared during a 2021 cross-country road trip with Laundrie, who returned to Florida alone.
