In August 2021, it was Brian Laundrie who took the life of Gabby Petito. Approximately two months after that tragic event, his mortal remains, together with a journal in which he admitted to the crime, were discovered in Florida.
In the recently released Netflix documentary titled “American Murder”, it’s detailed that Petito embarked on a long road trip across the country with Laundrie, her fiancé, aspiring to gain fame as a popular #vanlife vlogger. Her initial video, viewed over 7.6 million times so far, was uploaded on August 19. In it, she expressed gratitude and invited viewers to join their adventure wherever the van led them.
As a devoted admirer, I must express my sorrow at the heartbreaking events that unfolded. Her final post online marked the beginning of a chilling mystery. A young woman of 22 vanished in September, and tragically, her body was unearthed near a campsite in Wyoming weeks later. The authorities swiftly issued an arrest warrant for Laundrie, and his remains were found in a Florida nature reserve – over 2,000 miles away from the site where she was discovered.
In January 2022, the FBI verified that Brian Laundrie’s notebook contained his admission of guilt, which was subsequently made public by his family later in the same year, as reported by ABC News. Here is a transcript of what he penned down (Please be advised, some readers might find this content upsetting):

Gabby,
I deeply yearn to be by your side, sharing moments and creating new memories. I long to converse with you in this very instant, revisiting our past experiences while eagerly anticipating what the future held for us. Regrettably, that future has slipped away from us. Life without you feels unbearable. Each passing day, I mourn the time we could have spent together – every morning, every evening, every moment. I will never again experience the joy of playing with [illegible], or going on hikes with TJ.
I cherished you more than anything else. The thought of revisiting our photos and reminiscing about our good times is unbearable, as it serves as a painful reminder of why I can’t move forward. When I shut my eyes, all I can think about is lazing on the roof of the van, drifting off to sleep with the sight of a [illegible] at the crystal geyser before me. My love for you will never fade away.

Reading through Gab’s journal, reminiscing about our shared past with photographs and keepsakes, you would long for each day with her by your side. Facing the reality of waking up each morning without her, you would dread that moment instead.
I want to express my deepest apologies to everyone who will be impacted by this situation. Gabby was more than just a partner to me; she was the love of my life. Though she was loved by many, it’s her family that I feel for most deeply. I hold them close in my heart, as they mean so much to me – I consider her younger siblings among my closest friends. My own family is also grieving, as this is a shock and source of immense sorrow for us all.

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel that the joy they have for their new family member is equal, if not surpassing mine. Being an aunt to my nephews and now a mother to this little one, I wouldn’t wish hardship upon them. This turn of events, sudden as it was, brings a heavy dose of tragedy. Hurrying back to our car, I’m desperate to cross the [illegible] river before nightfall and the chill sets in.
I heard a splash and a scream, but it was too dark to make out what was happening. For a brief instant, I lost sight of her and called out her name. Upon finding her, she was struggling to breathe in the scorching heat of the national park.

In the state of Utah, the cold had plummeted to zero degrees, leaving her drenched. As far as I could along the stream towards the vehicle, I carried her, tripping, drained, in a state of disbelief, when my strength gave out and I realized it wasn’t safe for me to continue carrying her.
Initially, I lit a fire and moved her as near to the warmth as possible, given her fragile condition, she’d been exposed to the cold for too long. At that moment, my primary concern wasn’t the sequence of actions, but getting her out of the chill and back to the car. The distance from where I ignited the fire to the location of the vehicle was unknown to me at the time. However, as events unfolded…

… I realized it was on the other side of the stream. As I rescued Gabby from the water, she couldn’t specify what was hurting. Later, a small bump appeared on her forehead that swelled over time. Her feet and wrist both ached, but she was shivering uncontrollably due to the cold.
As she held her, she kept letting out cries of discomfort. Lying beside her, she spoke sparingly, alternating between severe tremors, shallow breaths tinged with pain, and pleading for relief from her agony. She would drift off to sleep, and I would gently rouse her, fearful that she shouldn’t lose consciousness if she might have a head injury.

1. Every morning, she’d awaken with agony, beginning another torturous day, infuriated that I was the one rousing her. She refused to let me attempt crossing the stream, believing that the fire might die out during her slumber and she could succumb to cold.
2. Each dawn found her in torment, initiating a fresh round of pain as she seethed at my presence. She wouldn’t tolerate me trying to cross the waterway, fearing that the blaze would extinguish during her rest and leave her exposed to frostbite.
3. In misery, she’d rise every day, repeating a cycle of suffering while enraged at my interruption. She wouldn’t allow me to cross the stream, worried that the fire would dwindle in her sleep and leave her shivering from cold.
4. Every new day brought anguish, triggering another series of pain as she fumed at being disturbed. She was adamant about preventing me from crossing the waterway, fearing that the blaze might fade during her rest and expose her to the cold.
I’m not sure about the severity of Gabby’s injuries, but I do know she was suffering greatly. In an act I now regret, I ended her life. At the time, I believed it was kind and what she desired, but I realize now that I made many mistakes. In a state of shock, I [illegible]. However, as soon as I alleviated her pain, I couldn’t bear to live without her.

As a gamer, I dashed home, eager to make the most of any remaining moments with my loved ones before it was too late. The allure of heading north and allowing James or TJ to take the fall for my blunder was tempting, but I couldn’t bear the thought of them enduring prison time on my account, even if I suspected they might have been up for it.
I’m choosing to part ways with this world because I can no longer bear the thought of living another day without her. Our shared future, filled with moments we would have cherished, has been cruelly taken away from us. I apologize for the grief that will be felt by so many. Please, out of compassion for my family who are now mourning the loss of their son and daughter, try to ease their burden rather than add to it. My heart belongs to the most radiant girl in the world, Gabby, and I’m deeply sorry for everyone’s loss.

In a desperate attempt, I chose to end my life near this creek, hoping wild creatures would dispose of my remains. Perhaps this act might bring some solace to her loved ones.
Please pick up all of my things. Gabby hated people who litter.
