The mother of
Brian Laundrie, the man who killed van-life influencer
Gabby Petito before dying by suicide in a
Florida swamp, allegedly told her son she'd bake him a
cake with a shiv inside if he went to prison, according to the Petito family's
attorney.
The Petitos sued the Laundries after Gabby was found dead in the Teton National Forest in 2021.
The lawsuit is demanding that the Laundries provide a "burn after reading" letter that Brian’s mother, Roberta Laundrie, allegedly wrote him prior to his disappearance, according to
WFLA.
“The letter in question, written by Roberta Laundrie to Brian Laundrie references bringing a shovel to help bury a body, and baking a cake with a shiv in it should Brian Laundrie go to prison," the Petito family's attorney, Pat Reilly, wrote. "A reasonable inference is that the letter was written at a time when Gabrielle Petito was as yet unburied, and Brian Laundrie could go to jail for the crime of murder.”
Mr Reilly said he has seen the letter, and that it was initially collected by the FBI during their preliminary investigation into Gabby’s disappearance. He said the FBI returned the letter to the Laundries, and noted it had the words "burn after reading" written on the envelope………
