They were BOTH toxic individuals but people just ignore her toxic behavior, justify it or blame Brian. She should have been arrested like everyone else who engages in criminal activity.

      Right it's the legitimately the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and he constantly contradicted himself. She would get angry if he woke her up, yet he couldn't just run to the van while she was asleep to call for help? Its absolutely normal to just kill a wounded person when they're injured in 2022, especially after multiple witnesses saw you verbally and physically abuse her in public 😆. Obviously if he couldn't show restraint in public we know what happened in private. His parents need to answer for their crimes ASAP! Not only assisting in the cover up of a brutal murder, and harboring a fugitive, living with them you know they witnessed the abuse first hand. Seems pretty clear they also brainwashed her into believing their son beating her was her fault and their grown man baby should be protected at all costs!

    “Brian’s last communication was an attempt to explain how he loved the person that he killed more than anything in the world. It offers a glimpse into the distorted thinking of a murderer and how they justify negative behavior with positive feelings. There is a tragic element in Gabbi Petito’s story, namely how she was killed by someone who said he loved her. Brian attempted to hijack this tragedy to cover his shame and to create this fantasy of a glorious relationship where he was actually the hero, but he only further revealed the depths of his self-centeredness, arrogance and sense of entitlement.”

      Targeted individuals have been in the news there's documentary's there is evidence of the different types of program's and Ways to hack into peoples minds. What there is not. Is Medical examinations by the people who warn and speak out against the CRIMES that can be commited.. neural rights are Human rights. Medical examinations for targeted individuals. There's ways to detect the Assaults just like there are ways to Trace cell phones or radio stations. There's ways to intercept the signals too.. scary thought for the targeted Victims... but there's ways the authorities can catch the people who commit these crimes..
      I hate to admit that Drs Law enforcement and Law firm's are failing the American citizens. EMF sensitivity has been recognized as a real Medical condition. microwave auditory effect is a real Medical condition. When people use this technology intentionally to hurt others it's a CRIME. It's a violaton against our Civil Rights for Law enforcement agencies not to INVESTIGATE.. some people report to the police several times. And nothing gets done to help the victims. Yeah I believe the gov would run Illegal experiments I believe creepy scientist would use this technology to harrass a woman of interest. Or Men.. some people sitting in Thier own yard's are Assaulted and on the News but where is the police? Why are They not looking for the local person that could have the microwave assualt weapons in their garage? Victims have caught criminals on video using microwave energy weapons to shoot at things yard and even assault people. I believe he called when they weren't shooting at his garbage cans but an elderly woman walking past. The police questioned him about why he's recording his neighbor.. SMH
      There's definitely a problem When law abiding citizens are reporting criminals and law enforcement ignores the criminals and tells the law abiding citizens they shouldn't be recording the criminals activity.
      Law and order.. just because law abiding citizens are easier to deal with Because they will obey the officers
      Doesn't Mean the Criminals should be ignored.
      There needs to be a Medical documentary on target Individuals!
      Medical proffesionals Neuro specialist EEGs and other Neuro testing to detect what's going on inside the targeted individual mind's.

    He's such a bad liar. I was sickened by his attempts to make himself look like some kind of hero. He even said in the note he didn't know what her injuries were. Interesting that without that knowledge (which is probably all a fabrication anyway) he would choose to kill her rather than go find help. It's pretty clear that he killed her for other reasons based on the body cam footage from Moab. It seemed like he was trying to find a way to get rid of her at that time by trying to leave her stranded somewhere. He didn't want her around. He probably blamed her for the run-in with the police. My heart goes out to Gabby. I agree that she was just too young to understand the situation she was in. She trusted him and probably never thought he'd kill her :(

      Gabby was the primary aggressor but escaped arrest because the cops felt sorry for her. She just engaged in criminal activity and her whining, with a contorted face, kept her from being held accountable for breaking the law. Brian minimized the situation, to keep her out of handcuffs, and he's vilified for it. Of course, people don't want to acknowledge Gabby's behavior because it contradicts the popular narrative. She's the ultimate whyyte damsel in distress, abusers don't look like HER, they look like everyone else.

    I agree with your interpretation 100%. Brian's imagined fireside scene reminds me of Kristin Scott Thomas's character's death in "The English Patient." (He carries her across the wilderness, builds a fire, tells her he's going for help and she says "I don't want to die alone in the desert" - the similarities go on and on). His story sounds like a made-up scene that Brian thought would cast him in a romantic-hero role and garner pity from the public. Unfortunately for him, it just reads as romanticized bullshit.

      I don't think Brain Laundry is dead; the wound to the head skeleton is on the left side of his head. He is righthanded. I think his father and mother helped him leave the country and planted the faults evident to cove up his EVIL. He is alive and well, living in Italy with his mother's family. Someone needs to check this out! The mother and father are both as guilty as EVIL Brain is.

    This letter was just him trying to hide his cowardice. He was too afraid to face the consequences for his actions and killed himself. He even tried to play the martyr by saying he hoped animals would rips his body apart. If Gabby was begging to for him to end it then why was she afraid of the fire going out? In my opinion, they were arguing, Gabby was starting to get the courage to stand up to him, and possibly consider leaving him. I think Brian tried to kill her by hitting her in the head and when he failed he strangled her. If he loves her so much why would he leave her body out in the elements like that to be eaten on by animals? He knew where the car was, he knew what he was doing all alone, and if that family hadn’t been driving by and spotted he can he may have gotten away with it. In the end he made Gabby’s tragic death all about himself like every other narcissist on the planet. It is a tragedy that Gabby was murdered. I wish the police in Utah would’ve had better training to spot a victim of domestic violence and possibly spared all of this from happening. My prayers continue to go out to Gabby’s family, I can’t imagine going through the loss of a child.

    The last page that was shared to the media where Brian talked about taking his life where animals hopefully would tear him apart, to make Gabbie’s family happy and then telling whomever found him to pick everything up, because, “Gabbie hated litter.” I feel like it was such a huge coded “F-You” to Gabbie and especially, to her family.
    I’ve had a couple of exes’ in my life and unfortunately, my mother, who talk in this grandiose style. It’s similar to, “I’m going to hurt/kill myself if you leave.” It’s the, “Sorry to bother you!” When you ask for a boundary(my mom) to be respected or “I am your mother!”
    Get out. Get out as fast as you can. It’s easy to fantasize about it getting better. If it’s a parent/ family…”but they are your family, your mother…” Save it. FAMILY can be the most toxic people around you. You have every right to protect your mental health.
    Those men are my exes’ for a reason and I keep limited contact sometimes grey rocking my mom. FYI, I have had twice heartfelt sit downs with my mom to no avail. It’s never going to change and I don’t feel sorry for protecting myself.

      Absolutely, protect yourself. The most shocking thing about those with various disorders is that they will destroy themselves and those around them in the process of trying to control, manipulate them. It wasn't until I found a thorough therapist and spent the time reviewing people and events, that I began to see the picture and learn about how to protect myself as best I can. The most shocking thing about some abusers / disordered people is their ability to appear saintly to those around them/you particularly, officials, those in positions of responsibility, who in turn due to biases (idealogical & other) support the abuser in their habits and behaviour and even turn against you. So people you trust to support you and family fairly and proportionally acutally become secret manipulators on behalf of the abuser.

It likely made some people speculate about a potential negative aspect of her personality, which Brian may or many not have intended with that final comment. Ugh.

Enough to be badly hurt and for Brian to be in trouble. He then may have killed her, possibly telling himself it was best for her and best for him in the circumstances. In his head that could easily turn in to Gabby falling due to "an accident" and the killing being for mercy. It'll be interesting to see the digital confession on a device they've said exists, which is apparently a different story from this. Maybe it is just a total lie.

I don't think that hiring an attorney makes someone suspicious but the timeline of this case made it suspicious. This is just such a sad situation.
    My ex boyfriend was incredibly abusive and would sexually assault me, strangle me and even intentionally got me pregnant but then tried forcing me into having an abortion. I refused because I had already had one and the idea of having another broke me. He strangled me and tried pushing me off a hotel balcony to kill me. I ended up losing the baby.

      There's definitely a problem When law abiding citizens are reporting criminals and law enforcement ignores the criminals and tells the law abiding citizens they shouldn't be recording the criminals activity.

      Doesn't Mean the Criminals should be ignored.

I think she tried to break up with him when he killed her. What's amazing is that she was with him for 2 years and apparently didn't have a clue. And I would put that down to him hiding it well enough that she didn't until he got her out and I. I can't I come to the conclusion when they were still looking for her body that after that video with the cops that he waited till they got on that trip part way through the trip by the way and then decided to more or less spring the trap of and started being nasty to her started manipulating her to the point where she was she wasn't just upset she was distraught in that video it was hard to watch I felt so bad for her. It was also hard to watch that smiling jackass like it was all about him. I mean if he truly loved her her being upset that way should have upset him just as much he should have been crying in front of those cops. I know that's how I get get when I'm fighting with somebody I love an upset we upset each other. But he wasn't. So he got her out there and started in honor decided he was going to he was going to make her his little minion his little what do you call him he's going to break her in on the on the trip and I think may I think possibly his father he got that from his father and that he wanted Gabby to be like his dear old mom.

    a big commercial bus converted into a family home, named red white and bethune, happened to be driving past, searching for a camping space. they saw the alerts on the news and recognised the van that they had passed and called the police.

      What strikes me is that in his note he says my body will be eaten & carried far from this spot by animals. In Fact body was found 250m from bag. But, of all the bodies thrown to be eaten into the swamps of Florida * that Do NOT get fully devoured or displaced *, he got pretty clairvoyant about his.

The letter was written by Roberta Laundrie to Brian offering him money and pleading to help him. It's not a smoking gun but it sure sounds like she knew something. I'm not part of a lynch mob but the Laundrie family have behaved in a way that suggests they had something to hide. The only reason that the Petito/Shmidt families went ahead with the lawsuit which has not yet been approved for trial, is because they claim to have witness testimony, which counts as evidence, that proves that the Laundries knew that he had killed Gabby during that time frame when they released the statement through Bertillino to her family saying they hoped that Gabby would be found when they actually knew she was dead.

    When Gabby and Brian were stopped by the police for reported assault, Brian's narcissism is clearly visible. He is talking and laughing with the police like buddies while Gabby is crying in the police car. But a little later. woman, park ranger or something, talks to Gabby and tells her that perhaps this is a time for Gabby to reevaluate her relationship with Brian among with other advice. I believe that her advice along with the whole police situation opened Gabby's eyes for the reality of her relationship.

    Gabby was inexperienced, in love, and naiive. She wasn't even comfortable driving her own van, as per her own comment after her near arrest. This was a fatal combination with the person she happened to be involved with at the stage of life she was in, ins location far from assistant, and probably not realizing the danger she was in and unable or unwilling to cut brian loose,and leave him there, without telling him, to ensure her own safety , which would be totally justifiable. A truly sad ending to a young life.

      And assuming she ever looked at her fiancee Brian's sociopathic anti-art, she steadfastly ignored its red flag signs of a covert sadistic killer disposition, such as his sketch of a popsicle with a knife blade hidden within the sweet treat. Were his worldly shrewd, pragmatic parents who raised him and had his art in their house likewise innocently clueless of hints of his latent, potential violent tendencies?

    I’m so glad you did an update on this case. I read the note that was released. I think he wanted to be a martyr and make us think it was an act of mercy. No I’m sorry- I don’t buy it. He left her body there. I agree with you - he did it during an argument. Thanks for doing this update. 🤠💕

      Yeah..but if they REALLY want to understand it...forget the lame celebrities and big news stories....they need to talk to every day NPD survivor like me..who then went through an 13 year marriage and then an 8 year custody battle where they are adept at dragging the protective parent through hell....talk to a ton of people like me and sadly we are in the millions and watch every video on Dr. Ramani's RUclips channel..and then you'll get it. That said, no one but us survivors will ever understand or ever "get" the true emo and psychological torture and the nuance of this form of abuse and how you end up with Complex Trauma (CPTSD) for years afterwards and years of healing.

      Both came at the right time for me in my healing from narcissist abuse. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. From the moment that I saw my sister in him (I had been in denial about her for years with no memory of her abusing me as a kid) I tried to fix him, even telling him one day that I was concerned that he might be a narcissist. Still, I loved him like I loved my sister. Victims really can be so naïve sometimes.

    Gabby was afraid the fire might go out if he left her? Doesn't that indicate her will to live? How could someone possibly believe she asked him to kill her? A natural instinct would be to go for help, in hopes she would recover once care was rendered, but he strangled her?

    It doesn't make ANY sense. A mercy killing ??? Was she a racing horse who just broke its leg ? What does it mean ? She couldn't walk for a few hours so it was time for her to die ? What insanity is this ?
    I can't stand this guy truly, his last act was to insult Gabbie's family. Even in death he is hurtful to everyone around him.
