The case of Gabby Petito, a young woman who was reported missing after taking a cross-country trip with her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, in the summer of 2021, attracted the attention of the entire country.
Brian returned home without Gabby and soon after became a sole person of interest in her death. He was on the run for some time before he killed himself.
Gabby’s body was found shortly after in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
It was determined that she died of strangulation.
Months after her tragic passing, FBI released a letter Gabby Petito sent to her killer boyfriend, showing just how much she loved him. In it, she begged him to stop “calling me names because we’re a team and I’m here with you.”
Further, the letter read, “Yes, I can be a child sometimes I know, but it’s ‘cause you give me this energy and I just love you too much. Like so much it hurts.
“So you in pain is killing me. I’m not trying to be negative, but I’m frustrated there’s not more I can do.”
FBI also released pictures of personal possessions of Gaby and Brian, as well as other federal documents related to the case.
The family of Gabby Petito sued the police for $50 million in a lawsuit that is still ongoing.
Prior to her missing, a footage of Gabby was taken by the police when the van she and Brian were traveling with was stopped. The footage was later released to the public but it painted Gabby Petito as the aggressor of the two.
Another footage, taken by another police officer, which was an hour long, shows Gabby admitting she had been grabbed and hit by her boyfriend. Former attorney Happy Morgan has accused the department of a “cover-up” for failing to release this second footage. It was only shown to the public after he lodged a complaint.
The officers, despite being told by Gabby that she had been hit by Brian, failed to arrest him.
Following Gabby’s death, her family accused Brian’s parents, Roberta and Christopher Laundrie, of covering up for their son.
Gabby Petito’s parents spoke together for the first time since the 22-year-old’s memorial service on “Dr. Phil.”

This came after a letter Roberta wrote to her son, in which she wrote she would even help him dispose of a body should he need help, came to light.
“I just want you to remember I will always Love you, and I know you will always Love me. You are my boy. 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,” Roberta wrote to her son.
“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 bring show up with a shovel and garbage bags.
It further read: “If you fly to the moon, I will be watching the skies for your re-entry. If you say you hate my guts, I’ll get new guts.
“Remember that love is a verb, not a noun. It’s not a thing, it’s not words, it is actions. Watch people’s actions to know if they love you — not their words.”
Roberta claimed she wrote the letter long before Brian killed Gabby and it was in no way related to the young woman’s death.
The letter, which was found among his belongings in his backpack, had the words “burn after reading” on it.
