They discover the murderer of Gabby Petito
Since the influencer Gabby Petito was found dead in September 2021, there were many rumors and theories that pointed to her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, as the author of this brutal and mediatic murder.
Laundrie was listed as the main suspect, because he was with Petito the last days of his life.
Months ago, international media reported the death of Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old influencer, who was found dead in the Wyoming reserve, United States. But recently the FBI found a finding that gave what many expected: the identity of his killer.
Last Thursday, January 20, the relatives of the deceased met with FBI officials to show them a letter written in Brian's diary, where it is evident that it was he who killed her and then took his own life.
According to the information offered by the FBI, it was learned that Brian Laundrie, who was the boyfriend of the young influencer, left a letter before committing suicide with a shot to the head, where he confessed that he had killed his fiancée.
Although the notebook of Brian, who was 23 years old, was found on October 20 next to his suicide body in Florida, it was not until last Thursday that the relatives revealed this convincing information.
Laundrie was always the main suspect, but so far the FBI has not offered details about the possible reasons why he committed the murder.
"All relevant steps of the investigation have been completed. The investigation did not identify anyone directly involved in the tragic death of Gabby Petito, other than Brian Laundrie," Michael Shneider, special agent in charge of the LA Division of Police, said in a statement. FBI Denver.
Who were Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie
Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie were bloggers and influencers. They shared their adventures, special moments and trips around the country through their Social Networks. Most of the time they looked happy and enjoying the experiences they had.
Start of investigations
The tragedy began when Laundrie returned home to North Port, Florida, on September 1 without his girlfriend.
Gabby was immediately reported missing, and he apparently didn't know anything about her.
From that moment, the media and social networks in the United States focused on what happened, with the main objective of finding the young Petito alive.
While this was going on, they tried to contact Laundrie, who refused without even explaining or offering good reasons for not giving statements.
The young woman was missing for several days, and then he also disappeared, but as a fugitive, since he already had a charge against him for using Gabby's bank card when she was already missing.
Taking into account the manuscript he left behind, his flight was probably due to a guilty conscience and fear of the accusations about the murder of his girlfriend.
Brian and Gabby had previously had relationship problems.
Laundrie and Petito set off in July in a van from New York, with the goal of touring the western US in four months.
In their photographs and videos they were seen to be happy, but it was learned that months ago, residents of Petito's residence had reported a possible case of mistreatment and violence by Brian towards his girlfriend. But this did not come out, because the officials who dealt with the case only recommended that they spend the night apart.
