Legal implications of Brian Laundrie's mother's "burn after reading" letter in Gabby Petito case

Legal experts say that Brian Laundrie's mother, Roberta Laundrie, is unlikely to face criminal charges in connection with Gabby Petito's death despite the "burn after reading" letter she wrote to her son. The letter could be useful evidence in building a case for obstruction or accessory after the fact, but it is not conclusive evidence of a crime. The Petito family argues that Laundrie's parents and their attorney knew that Petito had been murdered and knew the location of her body when the Laundries issued a statement about the search for her. The letter was the subject of arguments in a Sarasota County, Florida, courtroom on Wednesday.

Mother of Gabby Petito's killer offers to help dispose of body in letter.

The mother of Brian Laundrie, who killed Gabby Petito, wrote a letter to her son saying she would "dispose of a body" if needed because she loved him so much, according to copies of the note shared publicly for the first time this week by attorneys for Petito's parents. The handwritten note by Roberta Laundrie was released after a Florida judge ruled on Wednesday that the letter could be used as evidence in a lawsuit. The Petitos sued Brian Laundrie's parents, accusing them of knowing that their son had murdered Gabby Petito and helping him with the coverup for nearly a month before her body was found in western Wyoming in September 2021.

"Burn after reading" letter reveals disturbing details in Brian Laundrie case.

A letter written by Brian Laundrie's mother, Roberta Laundrie, was approved for release by a judge in the civil lawsuit filed by the parents of Gabby Petito. In the letter, Roberta wrote that she would "show up with a shovel and garbage bags" if her son needed to dispose of a body. The letter was found with Brian's body, and he claimed responsibility for Petito's death in a notebook. The Petitos claim in the suit that Laundrie's parents concealed their son's murder confession while the investigation was ongoing. The Laundries' lawyer disputes that the letter was anything more than an expression of love between a mother and son.
