  • The letter’s release comes as the two families head to a civil trial next year, in which Petito’s family is suing Laundrie’s parents and their former attorney for emotional distress in connection with her death.
  • The letter is a key piece of evidence that could provide insight into the events leading up to Gabby’s death, and could have an impact on the outcome of the case.

A Florida judge has released a letter written by Brian Laundrie’s mother to her son, which was enclosed in an envelope that said “burn after reading.” The letter, which was released Thursday, offered Laundrie a shovel and garbage bags if he needed to dispose of a body.

The letter was released to Gabby Petito’s parents Wednesday after a Florida judge denied a request from Laundrie’s parents to withhold it. The letter was written months before Gabby’s death and is potentially “damning” evidence, according to the attorney representing Petito’s parents.

The letter’s release comes as the two families head to a civil trial next year. Petito’s family is suing Laundrie’s parents and their former attorney for emotional distress in connection with her death.

The judge’s decision to release the letter is significant as it could be evidence that the Laundries knew Gabby had been killed in the weeks following her disappearance and hid that information while helping their son evade authorities.

The civil trial is scheduled to begin in March 2022. It is unclear what impact the letter will have on the outcome of the case. However, it is clear that the letter is a key piece of evidence that could provide insight into the events leading up to Gabby’s death.
