Brian Laundrie Is Alive? His Confession Note For Killing Fiance Similar To Famous Horror Novel

[Music]. Bada bing, bada boom. Doorbell cameras. are known for accidentally capturing a. lot of creepy things. That's not even. the purpose of a doorbell camera, but a. lot of creepy things seemingly happen in. front of people's homes. But there is. this one other type of camera. The idea. of this camera even just freaks people. out, including myself. It is a wildlife. camera. In concept, in theory, it's very. exciting. You set it up in the woods, typically on a large isolated, hopefully.

you have the rights to this private. property. And the goal being is you spot. a ton of wildlife. Like you'll see the. deers passing by. You'll see the bears. That's where you get the videos of the. bears in the middle of nowhere trying to. sleep on a hammock. Mhm. And then. they're like flopping around. The camera. is designed to do that. Yes. Where you. just get to study the wildlife. Some. people will use it for hunting purposes. to track the activity of specific. animals, but that's another story. Now, there are animals that will come and. stare at the camera while they go.

through your vegetable garden, and. they'll just pull out carrots. There's. clips of beavers just gnawing on carrots. in front of the camera, looking directly. into your soul. But the wildlife. cameras, they do have a strange habit of. picking up things that don't even look. like animals. Sometimes they don't even. look like humans. A lot of people say. they're just weird shadows. Or one. wildlife camera owner even reports. seeing this weird creature holding a. dead coyote by the throat. Or some will. report checking the wildlife camera and.

just seeing hundreds of glowing orbs. staring at them. They're like, it felt. like eyes. But September of 2021, one of. the creepiest clips from a wildlife. camera starts going viral. It is a. motion activated game camera in the. middle of the woods. And this gets. alerted of motion and starts recording. at 6:00 a.m. There's a shadow of. movement coming from the left corner. And that movement comes slowly towards. the center. It's a man. Why are we. freaking out about a man? He's wearing a.

white shirt, black pants. He's carrying. a backpack. He looks like a hiker. Why. is this that creepy when there's giant. wolves allegedly hiding out in the. woods? Because everyone starts reporting. that the man in the video could be Brian. Laundry. At least initially, they all. say, "Wait, this could be the Brian. Laundry that we're looking for." The man. who has gone missing after his fiance, Gabby Patito, is found killed at Grand. Teton National Park. He had gone on a. road trip with her, came back with the.

van and not Gabby. And since then, he. did not talk to authorities. And then 2. weeks later, he randomly vanishes. Could. this be him? Where is Brian Laundry? And. did he fake this whole disappearance? Did he even fake his death to get away. with murder? [Music].

We would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for Rotten. Mango to support the official Gabby. Patito Foundation. I'm going to leave. all the resources linked below. This. nonprofit is dedicated to supporting. missing persons, assisting survivors, and working towards a future that is. free from DV. This episode's. partnerships have also made it possible. to support Rotteno's growing team. We'd. also like to thank you guys for your.

continued support. As always, full show. notes are available by. rotteningodcast.com. Now, today's case. does involve heavy themes of DB. Additionally, this is a two-part series, so please go watch part one. In part. one, we went over the newly released. text messages between Gabby. Gabby and. Ryan, Gabby and her ex-boyfriend that. was interviewed for the Netflix. documentary. In this part, we're going. to go through the conspiracy theories of. why the Netflix drama resurged this idea. that Brian Laundry is still alive. Legally, I do need to disclaim that no.

living person has been criminally. charged and that any and all theories, conspiracies, comments, opinions, and. the likes are publicly available netizen. opinions, not my own. I do have very. strong opinions about certain people. involved in this case and their negative. ones, but as always, do your own. research before forming your own. With. that being said, let's get started. The. first words on the page read, "If you're. going to read this, don't bother. Save. yourself. What happens here is going to. piss you off. After that, it just gets.

worse and worse." I mean, what you're. getting here is a stupid story about a. stupid little boy, and it opens with two. people at a restaurant. It's like a. fancy steakhouse. It's Victor and his. friend. And Victor crams this giant. piece of steak into his mouth. And his. friend is just shaking his head. Please. don't do this here. There are people. dressed in their best clothes, eating. balls of caviar on top of their already. expensive cuts of beef. But Victor knows. exactly how to play this. He's going to.

let the drool fall under his chin. He. sees his friend cringe and. embarrassment, shame, pity, anger. He. doesn't care. He takes a sip of the wine. and it's game time. He waits until the. steak is so clogged in his throat that. he can't even breathe. And that's when. it all snaps. He falls out from his. chair. His eyes are rolling back all on. quue. The only one not alarmed or. impressed by Victor is his friend. But. Victor thinks this works every single. time. It has yet to fail him. This is.

what pays for his mom's hospital bills. He says, quote, "I'm here to create. heroes. Put people to the test. Somebody. saves your life, they're going to love. you forever. It's like you're their. child now. They call you on the phone to. find out if you're feeling okay, to see. if maybe you need some cheering up or. some cash. You gain power by pretending. to be weak. By contrast, you make people. feel strong. You save people by letting. them save you. All you have to do is be. fragile and grateful and stay the. underdog. People really need somebody.

they feel superior to. You're the proof. that they're that they're a hero, evidence of their success. People will. jump through hoops if you just make them. feel like a god. That is so fascinating. And within minutes, an arm with a solid. gold watch wraps around his belly and. starts jamming his fist under his rib. cage, telling him, "You're okay. You're. okay." And once that stake flies out of. Victor's mouth, he says, "They're going. to hold your head to their chest. They're going to rock you, saying,

"Everybody get back. Make some room now. The show is over." and already you're. their child. You belong to them. They'll. put a glass of water to your lips and. say, "Just relax. It's over. For years. to come, this person's going to call. you. They're going to write you. You're. going to get cards and maybe a check. here and there for your birthday. This. person will be so proud of you because. you make them so proud of themselves. Don't hold anything back. This is going. to be the best story of somebody's. life.". This is the story of Choke by Chuck.

Pollenic, a man who pretends to choke at. restaurants to make a living so that he. can pay for his mother's Alzheimer's. care bills, which he has a very. complicated relationship with his mom. And it is also one of Brianrey's. favorite books. And the internet started. trying to find connections between Brian. Laundry and the book because I mean I. guess mainly due in part the fact that. Brian Laundry had strangled Gabby. Patito. So a lot of people without. reading the book, they were trying to. overanalyze the name of the book. Chuck. Pollenic writes a lot of kind of twisted.

stories. And one interesting quote from. the book reads, "I just want one person. I can rescue. And I want one person who. needs me, who can't live without me. I. want to be a hero, but not just one. time. What I want to be is needed. What. I need to be is indispensable to. somebody. Who I need is somebody that. will eat up all my free time, my ego, my. attention. Someone addicted to me, a. mutual addiction. And maybe that's what. Brian Laundry wanted from Gabby. Brian.

is obsessed with Chuck Pollenick. He. writes, and I'm not saying this as like, oh, what is Chuck Pollenic doing that's. wrong. I I don't know his like personal. affiliations or his like political views. or anything like that, but just if you. judge just his artwork, there's nothing. particularly alarming. It It is. gruesome. There's lots of trigger. warnings for each one of his books. And. Chuck Pollen writes thriller books. They're more horror. I would say he did. Fight Club. Oh, that's how most people. know Chuck Pollen, but he's got some.

like crazy other stories, but Fight Club. is what he's mainly known for. Brian. writes on his Instagram, though, reading. is different from any other consumption. of media. It takes more effort than. staring at a screen half alive. It. allows you to use your brain rather than. melted. And there is no author more. stimulating to me than Chuck Pollenic. Some quotes that he liked include from. Fight Club, "Only after disaster can we. be resurrected. It's only after you've. lost everything that you're free to do. anything. Nothing is static. Everything.

is evolving. Everything is falling. apart." Where do we get these from? He. post his Instagram. He'll repeat the. quotes. He'll caption his artwork with. these quotes. He loves drawing. characters from Chuck Pollen's books. And really, everything is falling apart. now. Gabby's body was found strangled in. the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming. And the one person that knows what. happened to her is missing. September. 11th. Just a recap of the timeline. Nobody has heard directly from Gabby.

from what feels like around August 25th. to potentially August 27th. August 27th. is the last time that she's seen alive. Investigators believe that she was. killed the night of August 27th. September 11th, Gabby is reported. missing by her parents. 6 days later, September 17th, Brian is reported. missing by his. parents. 2 days after he's gone missing, Gabby's body is found. So, how the hell. does Brian go missing? Ever since the. news picked up the story of Gabby. Patito, the entire Laundry family home.

where Brian is hiding out is swarmed by. press reporters, cameras, protesters. The authorities even had hidden cameras. set up near the house from the neighbors. property lines going into the backyard. of therries. The front yard all being. live streamed straight to the police. station. So what the hell do you mean. he's gone? So now it's time to hunt. It. almost becomes like a sport in Florida. hunting Brian Laundry. Bounty hunters. start joining in the search with the. sentiment that if anyone's going to find. Brian, it's going to be a bounty hunter.

One bounty hunter describes the industry. and profession as simply it's like uh. professional stalking. I mean, we're. professional stalkers really. One bounty. hunter says, "The only thing that you. need to be good at bounty hunting was. two things. Patience and a big jug. You. have to be able to sit and watch a house. for days pee in that jug. You can't. leave. If you leave, they might pull up. or they might leave. You can't move. Sure, you can have a little snack, but. you got to be ready to sit in that car. for 10 hours and pee in a jug." So these.

bounty hound are just staring at the. house. They're not out there hunting. They're out there hunting. Now, is there. a bounty for for the Yes. tens of. thousands of dollars. Now, Doug the. bounty hunter, Dwayne Chapman, if you. Well, his real name, he goes viral for. joining on the search for Brian Laundry. Now, Doug the bounty. hunter, dog the bounty hunter, he is. he's nothing if not a man of. controversies of his own. He faced his. own criminal charges of first-degree.

murder in the 70s. He wasn't the one. that shot the victim, Jerry, in a weed. deal gone wrong, but he was in the car. while his friend shot Jerry, which Dog. was placed in jail for 18 months for, and now he chases fugitives of the law. with a taser because he's not even. legally allowed to own a gun. So, for. those who like him, he is now a. celebrity bounty hunter. For those who. hate him, he's a con man TV personality. with no redeeming qualities. He's had a. huge longunning reality show where he.

just chases criminals to make bounties. He would hunt them down, but his whole. reality show gets cancelled because of. allegations that he is both racist and. homophobic. One example, he repeatedly. referred to his son's girlfriend by the. racial slur, to which he later states in. an interview, "I thought I had a pass. from black people to use it, kind of. like. Eminem." And everyone was like, "What is. that?" He also denies his daughter's. allegations of being homophobic. And. then he turns around to do interviews. where he is blatantly transphobic, even.

threatening to fight specific trans. influencers, which is completely. unprompted, like nobody asks you. He. just comes out swinging in demorality, like just disgusting morals and his. transphobia. Nevertheless, his own. daughter has come out to accuse her. father of cheating on his late wife Beth. while she's going through cancer. treatments, threatening her and his own. daughter with violence. He's also said. with his own mouth proudly that he will. deport any illegal immigrants. He says. it it's also the way he says it. I will. deport, export, and yeehaw, they're.

going back. home. I mean, that's. crazy. He also owes $2 million in taxes, which he did ultimately pay to avoid. being a fugitive from the law himself. But regardless of this man's lack of. morality and bizarre fashion choices, him joining, the fact that he joins the. search, starts doing interviews with the. media, it does blow up the entire case. even more to some degree. He even goes. to the laundry home knocking on the. door. He says, "I carry a reputation.

with me. See me every night on Pluto TV. I thought, wow, the dad's going to, you. know, see me and crack and I know the. kid knows me. Probably one of my fans.". We get a scent of a trail. We get a. scent. He's done. They don't talk to. him. They don't talk to him. Netzens had. three different reactions to this. Either dog the bounty hunter is going to. get him. He's going to He gets everyone. or two, look at this bozo. I mean, he. doesn't even know what he's talking. about. Wait, are we seriously with some.

people joking? If dog finds this guy. before the FBI, I don't think any of us. should ever pay federal taxes anymore. cuz that's how bad he is. And three, the. more popular reaction, forget Dog the. bounty hunter. Forget everybody. The. only people who know where Brian is are. his parents. But above all those. extenduating circumstances, Dog is out. there recording himself in the Florida. swamps searching for Brian Laundry. By. the way, this is supposed to be his. honeymoon. He comes back from his. honeymoon early and then he promptly.

sprains his ankle while searching for. Brian Laundry. So, he's got to sit one. It's like a mess. It's a It's a dirty. mess. Okay. He sits one out while the. rest of the team continues without him. But that does not stop Brian's attorney. from releasing a statement to the post. that says, "Dusty relics like that dog. need a tragic situation like this so. they can clear the cobwebs off their. names and give the publicity hungry ego. some food." The dog snaps back. It's. ironic that Mr. Berdalino, therey's. family attorney, would criticize the. people trying to find Brian Laundry,

unless perhaps he doesn't want him to be. found. The problem with the search for Brian. Laundry is he goes missing at Carlton's. Reserve in Florida. That is about 25,000. acres of wood and just pure swamps at. this point. It's about 1 and 12 times. the size of Manhattan. Wow. There's two. words to describe the last place that. Brian was found or was seen. And it's. allegedly vast and unforgiving. That's.

it. Those are the two words. Especially. during flooding season, September 2021, when Brian Laundry is reported to have. gone missing in that reserve, 75% of the. reserve is. underwater. I'm not talking liquid to. your ankles. I'm talking to your. chest. Most areas are waist deep at the. very least. The water is obviously not. clean. There's mud, debris, but also. alligators, venomous snakes just. slithering around. There's also wild. hogs in the reserve, giant fire ants. You get bit by one of these fire ants,

you're going to have a second head. somewhere on your body. It's going to be. that big. Mosquitoes constantly trying. to bite you, crawl up your nose into. your eyes. And if it's not that, there's. thick bushes and vines that keep. tangling your legs while you wade. through the water. And it's humid. You. would think water sounds cool, refreshing. It's so humid. It's so. smelly. The heat, you're in the water, but you feel disgustingly sweaty. And. the mosquitoes are sticking to you. Your. sweat is making all the debris stick to. you. It is not a place you want to wait.

around looking for a missing person. So, this is what the parents said Bryant is. missing now. Yes. Right. Why would he be. there? First of all, they said that he. went to clear his head for a hike and. then never came back. Now, making the. search even trickier, the grounds have. served previously as indigenous resting. sites. And the tricky part of that is to. the cadaavver dogs, the scent of death. is the scent of death. they're going to. start alerting to graves from the past. It would be very difficult to bring in.

like a cadaavver dog to a cemetery. It's. just not going to work as well. Which is. why some people started bringing in um. adrenaline dogs. They are dogs that are. not trained off the scent of death or. even tracking dogs that are trained off. of like here, smell Stephanie's sweater, go find Stephanie in the woods. They are. trained off of the very specific scent. that humans have. We give off a scent. Apparently, if we our bodies are under. stress or adrenaline, the way we.

breathe, anytime we sweat, it has a very. specific scent. I did not know that. There are some dogs that are trained to. just chase that scent. It's very. difficult though because you will have. investigators who are probably feeling. those things as well. Probably not as. strongly. I don't know how the. discrepancy is there, but some people. were bringing in adrenaline seeking dogs. that are looking for those stress. related biomarkers that are they're. trained to detect. So, it's great in. theory, but pretty much all the dogs.

deployed in this search are just getting. attacked by. alligators there. I don't think any of. them were getting injured, but they're. getting attacked. They're having too. many close calls with the alligators. In. these conditions, experts say anything. that's dead in these conditions, you're. going to be able to see it. Usually, you. know, you're going to see a swarm of. flies in the area, but because. everything is wet, it's. hard. People are bringing in adrenaline. dogs, cadaavver dogs, the FBI's coming.

in, and thermal imagery is being used, helicopters are flying up top, giant. boats are being used, ATVs, there's. swamp boats. These are like 15 foot tall. giant wheels with a little platform on. top. They're just called swamp buggies. They're just to get you through the. swamps. They're searching 40 square. miles. And it's reportedly costing $1.5. million of taxpayer money. Close to. about reportedly $200,000 a day. searching for Brian Laundry in what. feels like an endless abyss of swamps.

waiting through water trying not to run. into alligators. All because what? Brian's parents tell the FBI. Yeah, I. think that's where he is. How can we. even be sure? With one netizen. commenting, "So, his parents call police. after he's missing for 2 days, won't. talk to the police about someone else's. child that's missing for 2 weeks, and. we're just going to go with it." Another. points out, "I am insensed that we are. spending, we spent a million half. dollars on a tip from the laundry.

parents. I would never have even. listened to their tips. Especially. because theiesries are freaking shady. Nothing about what the parents say about. Brian going missing make any sense at. all. They say he walks out of the house. September 13th, 2021. He leaves his. phone. He leaves his phone. He drives. his silver Mustang to go on a hike. He. doesn't come home. 2 days later, Brian's. parents go to the Carlton Reserve and. they see his silver Mustang parked. They. see like a little note on top that's. like, "Hey, we're going to tow your.

car." So, what do they do? They drive. the car home. That's crazy. If my son. went missing without a phone, I don't. have kids, but I'm assuming if anyone I. loved went missing without a phone, I. would at least leave the car cuz I'm. like, at least if you can get to the. car, that's one way to contact someone. or do something like to take the car. away is also strange. So, they take the. car away, bring it home, and then. eventually they casually just tell the. FBI, "My beloved baby boy, my baby son. is missing.". with some wondering, okay, are we.

looking for a dead guy in the swamps or. is he alive and running in the swamps? Everybody has been debating about that. Can he even survive in these conditions. if he really is in the reserve? Brian. likes to think of himself as a little. survivalist, but the Carlton Reserve is. not optimal for survival in any way. Firstly, the flooding, which great, you're thinking so much water, right? that if you drink that water without. disinfecting it within hours, you're. going to be crawled up feeling weaker. than a kitten, having both ends just. projectile squirting all sorts of. liquids. And because you're so frail,

you can't even move. And then the sun is. going to set, the mosquitoes come out, and they're going to eat you alive. They're going to tear through your. flesh. And what about the alligators? What are they going to do? Some people. say it's not even the alligators. The. real problem are honestly the venomous. snakes and the wild pigs. Wild pigs are. particularly very aggressive and they're. enthusiastic. scavengers. There's also black bears, panthers, and if you're not fighting an. actual animal, there's flesh-eating. bacteria that thrive in these types of. flooded waters. With one wilderness.

expert stating, "There's no surviving. out here. It's totally underwater." I. don't know how to say. I don't see. anybody can make it out here for 10. days, 5 days. There's no water supply, no fresh springs. There's no stores. available unless you go 12 miles either. direction. Just no possible way. The. mosquitoes will carry you off the first. night. Many netizens think, "Yeah, that's why he's not there." Writing, "So. the cops are just looking in the area.

that was suggested to them by his. parents. It sounds like a. misdirection." One former US marshal. says, "I personally think that he could. be anywhere right now. It doesn't. matter. Mexico. He could be boat sitting. off the coast of Cuba. It doesn't. matter. He's going to mess up. He's. going to make a mistake. I would run as. fast and as far as I could, too, if I. were him. So, how did they have so many. cameras and people around his house and. let him get away like that or even just. leave the house without tracking him? I. thought everyone's like hunting him.

This is the most infuriating part. Obviously, protesters take time away. You know, there's no protester that's. sitting out there 24 hours a day. A lot. of the news reporters, they're not there. 24 hours a day. It seems like there's. high points of traffic for them. And. then the police are supposed to be. technically watching Brian Laundry. Or. at least that's what all the netizens. assumed. That's what people assumed, right? However, the police later come up. with this really sorted excuse where. they say, "We thought we saw Brian go. back into that house." Turns out it was.

his mom wearing a baseball. hat. Now, mind you, Brian is like a. tall, skinny dude. Roberta Laundry is a. little bit rounder. I mean, she. definitely has more of a frame that is. reminiscent of a mother, a middle-aged. mother. And also, Brian Laundry is bald. and has a beard. So, I don't. Okay, I don't know if it makes it better. or worse, their excuse. They're like, "We thought we saw him go back into the. house after the hike, but it actually. turned out to be his mom, so I'm sorry,

you guys." Yeah, that's that's what they. say. There's all this discourse of where. is he? Maybe he's in the Appalachian. Trail. Maybe he's somewhere else. Maybe. he's in Mexico. But one interesting. thing to note is Gabby's dad points out. we couldn't find Gabby. What did we do. to find Gabby? I mean, we did everything. to find Gabby. We talked to everyone. We. got on as many cameras as we could. What. are they doing to find Brian? They. called the cops. They haven't done. anything since. I haven't seen them on. any TV shows. Why do you think that is? They don't want to find him. Yeah,

that's the two speculations. Either they. already know where he is, or two, they. don't want him to be found. Mhm. Maybe. it's both. There are certain pieces of evidence in. this case that have been released that. help us see the dynamic between Gabby. and Brian a bit better. I will say that. Gabby and Brian were both avid. journalers. And it's very interesting. and I don't know if this is me just. looking too into it. I think sometimes. when you read people's journals, especially in cases like this, you have. certain people where it does feel like.

they're writing for a third. party. And then you have people who look. like the writing feels very natural and. just kind of sporadic and it seems like. they're writing for themselves to clear. their minds. It feels like Gabby is. that. Brian's journal, a lot of it feels. like he's writing for a reader, like he. wants someone to read it or maybe he has. this weird suspicion that someone will. come across it and read it. It's just. not the same. But Gabby, she was a bit. more positive with her art and writing.

She would draw things and write phrases. like be open-minded, stay in drugs, eat. your school, don't do vegetables. So, it's like a she's trying to make a play. on these words, right? In her notebook, it seems like she genuinely tried to use. it as a way to express herself. In one. drawing, there's a girl sitting there. with her eyes crossed out and the words. censored over her mouth. She writes, "I'm sorry I let you down." In another. journal entry, she writes, "I feel bad. I'm always on my phone. I should give. Brian more attention. He loves me so. much. I don't deserve it and I'm lucky.

that he sticks with me. In another one. though, she writes, "I feel like I'm. walking on eggshells." Meanwhile, Brian's Pinterest account is liking. pictures of a dog with the words, "The. opposite of lost. Don't try to find me. I have finally escaped my master's. wicked clutches." To the others, I say, "Join me. Bite the hand that feeds you.". Or he's liking Chuck Pollenik's fight. club quotes. It just seems like Gabby is. putting in work for the relationship. She's trying to work on herself and he's. just trying to be like a Pinterest boy.

In a letter released by the FBI from. Gabby to Brian, it reads, "Brian, you. know how much I love you and I'm writing. this with love. Just please stop crying. and calling me names because we're a. team and I'm here with you. I'm always. going to have your back. Sorry I got. upset over a dumb piece of paper, but I. just wanted to do that with you. Yes, I. can be a child sometimes, I know, but. it's because you give me this energy and. I love you too much. Like so much it. hurts. So your pain is killing me. I'm. not trying to be negative, but I'm. frustrated that there's nothing more.

that I can. do. It seems like she's trying to help. him. Another letter to him reads to. Batman. We can work in the van together. and they are our dreams now. So, I hope. you understand when I'm upset, it's. because you make me love you too much. Now, stop crying and come home and say. you love me with a big hug. Meanwhile, Brian is busy ranting about his home. life. One journal entry reads, "No one's. doing anything but eating in silence and. hiding from each other. I can't stay. because if we decide to stay, nothing. will change. No weight will be lifted. I. have no options because I'm a ghost, a.

shell. I never had a home or a family. In another, he rants. A house in a home. are not the same. Some people never have. a home. Moving from place to place. Home. is where the heart is. What about under. a bridge or a drainage tunnel? Human. reminds me of those hermit crabs who put. their crap on their head or just hermit. crabs in general. Exoskeleton in a. shell. Vulnerable without them. Anything. can kill a hermit crab without its. shell. It seems like Bryant has a very. troubled home life. But that's very.

interesting because Roberto Laundry, Brian's mom, seems like she's very clear. on how she feels about her son, Brian. After Gabby goes missing, a letter is. found by FBI agents in Brianrey's home. So, a lot of people actually thought it. was found with Brian Laundry um later. when his remains are found, but it's. actually found inside of his home. When. did they search the home? This was after. he goes missing. Now, at the front of.

the letter, it just reads burn after. reading. It is from Roberta Laundry, Brian's mom, to Brian. And it was not. burnt. No. It reads, "I just want you to. remember I will always love you. I know. you'll always love me. You are my boy. Nothing can make me stop loving you. Nothing will or could ever divide us. No. matter what we do or where we go or what. we say, we will always love each other.

If you're in jail, I will bake you a. cake with a file in it. If you need to. dispose of a body, I will show up with a. shovel and garbage. bags. If you fly to the moon, I'll be. watching the skies for your re-entry. If. you say you hate my guts, I'll get new. guts. Remember that love is a verb, not. a noun. It's not a thing. It's not.

words. It is actions. Watch people's. actions to know if they love you, not. their words. Therefore, I am certain. that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor the ruling spirits, nor the present, nor things to come, nor powers from. above, nor powers from below, nothing in. the entire created world can separate. our. love. Neither hostile powers nor. messengers of heaven, nor monarchs of. earth, nothing has the power to separate.

us. Romans 8:38 extended version. Nothing. can separate us. Not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not threats, not even. sin, not the unthinkable or unthinkable. can get between us. Not time, not miles. and miles and miles and. miles. And that is the end of the. letter. Handwritten. Handwritten. That's crazy cuz Brian likes to these. like weird quotes. Yes. And the mother.

also sends a bunch of quotes. Yeah, but. most of them are not quotes. I I know. I. know. I'm saying like phrases. It's like. very just very dark and weird. It's just. not something that you normally say to. somebody. I think that I mean I don't. know cuz I don't have kids. I know my. sister would die for her kids, but if my. sister is writing these types of letters. for your kids, I'd say you need to you. need to like check yourself out cuz this. is just not something you write to your. kid. This is not how you express. undevoted, unconditional parental love.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's just weird. Wait, are we assuming? Are we saying this. letter was sent written before. everything or this was written after? Roberto Laundry. It's not dated. Roberto. Laundry claims from the heaven and the. stars down toing hell and back that she. wrote this months before. She wrote this. months and months and months before. Everybody is pretty consistently in the. personal beliefs, opinions that it was. written after Brian came home. Yes.

Because she's a burn after reading it. And she's writing about dead bodies. She's writing about jail. She's writing. about nothing can separate. Like what. kind of hardship do normal people go. through that's like nothing will. separate us. It's not like life is so. hard but I will always be with you. It's. like you and me can never be separated. no matter what happens. It's a very. apocalyptic message, honestly. Yeah. And. he probably didn't burn it because he. wanted to keep that. Yeah. He wants to.

read it again or whatever. Yeah. Now, this letter becomes a very big. point of contention. Does that mean. Robera Laundry knew what happened in. Gabby in Wyoming? Did she not say. anything even though she knew? And if. she knew that, does that mean she knows. where Brian is right now? One netizen. just writes, "It's really giving. I love. you more than any other woman could. vibes. There is just no way that a woman. who writes that kind of letter will ever. be telling anyone where her son is. In. the meantime, the FBI starts getting.

about 2 to 300 tips per day, sightings. all over the country, Gabby's stepmom, Tara, says Gabby is missing and the one. person that knows what happened that was. with her is now gone. October 20th, 37. days after Brian goes missing, the. Carlton Reserve had been closed to the. public due to all the flooding. October. 20th, the park opens back up to the. public. They're like, "It's safe to come. back in here. The alligators are not. everywhere, not 75% of the park. The FBI.

is informed that the laundry parents are. going to go to the park as soon as it. opens up to the public and they're going. to try to find Brian." law enforcement. Obviously, they go with them and the. energy is very tense. The laundry say. they know where their son likes to hike. They know where he likes to camp. They. start their search at 7:00 in the. morning, which side note, one FBI agent. mentions how it was just so unbearably. tense. I mean, theories did not emote. About an hour into the search, Chris. Laundry just finds a waterproof bag that.

belongs to Brian. Just within like 20. minutes of the search. What soon after. they find Brianrey's remains within an. hour and 20 minutes of the starting the. search, they find Brian. And this is a huge area. Yeah. But also, Brian's remains were found about a mile. from where he parked his silver Mustang. The agents present said his belongings.

were still there, his clothes were still. there, his shoes were still there, but. he had completely decomposed all the way. down to the bones. At the main scene, they find many of Brian's skeletal. remains, including his pelvis, multiple. ribs, multiple skull fragments. Nearby, they find a pair of green shorts with a. green belt, two slip-on shoes, a. backpack, a white metal ring, and an. unknown type of handgun. The secondary. scene combines skeletal animal remains, which are placed so distinctly nearby. that it seems like perhaps he had eaten. those animals. Maybe he was trying to.

source for food or he just killed the. animals. We don't know. Or maybe it's by. coincidence. What animals? It seems like. smaller animals. Okay. Now, a. handwritten note and a hat with the logo. Moab coffee roasters. Moab, Utah is. where they were pulled over for the DV. call. A dry bag that contains a journal and a. wooden box containing a small notebook. as well as photographs were also found. Next to his body is the revolver. And. the autopsy report would later show that. he died by gunshot wound. Multiple of.

his skull fragments were found 2 feet. from a pair of green pants. Like they're. just kind of scattered within this. distinctive area in his backpack. He. even has a tent and flares. A tent that. he never pitched. So, some people. thought this whole thing was so strange. Like, he went in there for a walk, but. he brought a tent. Needless to say, nizens are skeptical about this whole. thing. Even the fact that the laundry. parents walked in and within an hour. they find Brian, even though law. enforcement have been scouring the.

entire reserve for months, and this is. about a mile from where he parked his. car. So, likely, they weren't really. scouring this gener like general central. area. Yeah. A reporter asked the Laundry. family attorney, "How did theies know. where to look?" Because from September. 17th to October 18th, a full month, the. FBI is spending millions of dollars and. manpower to search with cadaavver dogs, heat detection tech, radars, everything. After all of that, the park finally. opens up with and within an hour or two, the find their son in an area that had.

been previously 3 ft. underwater. The attorney states, "Well, Brian liked to hike that reserve many. times. Chris has hiked with him several. occasions as well. I mean, they kind of. knew his favorite spots. We had told law. enforcement from the beginning where. Brian would most likely be in the areas. of the park, but I guess they didn't. look. well. But the one thing of interest that. was found near Brian Laundry is a. letter. Some people call it his. confession, but it's more of like a. [ __ ] story. It's also very.

interestingly a hero's tale. Wait, a. handwritten letter? Yes. Was intact. It. was like in a dry bag and it looks like. one of those waterproof journals. That is so bizarre. Written on the. journal. It reads and this is condensed. in part. But Gabby, I wish I was right. at your side. I wish I could be talking. to you right now. I'd be going through. every memory we've made, getting even. more excited for the future. I can't.

live without you. I've lost every day we. could have spent together, every. holiday. I loved you more than anything. I can't bear to look at all your photos. to recall great times because it is why. I cannot go on. When I close my eyes, I. will think of laying on the roof of the. van, falling asleep to the sight of a. meteor shower at the crystal geyser. I. will always love you. I am sorry to. everyone that this will affect. Gabby. was the love of my life, but I know. adored by many. I'm so very sorry to her. family because I love them. My best of. friends, I am sorry to my family. This.

is a shock to them as well as a terrible. grief. They loved as much, if not more, than me. A new daughter to my mother, an. aunt to my nephews. Please do not make. this harder for them. This occurred as. an unexpected. tragedy. Rushing back to our car, trying. to cross the streams of Spread Creek in. Grand Teton National Park before it got. too dark to see, too cold. I hear a. splash and a scream. I could barely see. I couldn't find her for a moment. I. shouted her name. I found her breathing. heavily, gasping my name. She was.

freezing cold. We had just come from. this blazing hot national park in Utah. The temperature had dropped to freezing. and she was soaking wet, I carried her. as far as I could down the stream. towards the car. Stumbling exhausted in. shock when my knees buckled and I knew I. couldn't safely carry her. I started a. fire and spooned her as close to the. heat as possible. She was so thin, had. already been freezing too long. I. couldn't at the time realize that I. should have started a fire first, but I. just wanted her out of the cold back to. the. car. From where I started the fire, I.

had no idea how far the car might be. When I pulled Gabby out of the water, she couldn't tell me what hurt. She had. a small bump on her forehead that. eventually got larger. Her feet hurt, her wrist hurt, but she was freezing, shaking violently while carrying her. She continually made sounds of pain, laying next to her. She said little. lapsing, you know, between violent. shakes, grasping in pain, begging for an. end to her. pain. She would fall asleep and I would. shake her awake, fearing she shouldn't. close her eyes if she had a concussion.

She would wake in pain, start the whole. painful cycle again. While furious that. I was the one waking her, she wouldn't. let me try to cross the creek, thought. like me, that this fire would go out in. her sleep and she would freeze. I don't. know the extent of Gabby's injuries, only that she was in extreme pain. I. ended her life. I thought it was. merciful. That is what she wanted. But I. see now all the mistakes I made. I. panicked. I was in shock. But from the. moment I decided, took away her pain, I. knew I couldn't go on without her. I. rushed home to spend any time I had left.

with my family. I wanted to drive north. and let either Jim, the stepdad, or. Gabby's brother kill me. But I wouldn't. want them to spend time in jail over my. mistake, even though I'm sure that they. would have liked. to. He states in the letter that he will. be self-exiting. Quote, "Not because of. fear of punishment, but rather, I cannot. stand to live another day without her. Please do not make life harder for my. family. They lost a son and a daughter. The most wonderful girl in the world. Gabby, I'm sorry. I have self-exited by.

this creek in the hopes that the animals. tear me apart. That it may make some of. her family happy. Please pick up all of. my things." Gabby hated people who. littered. Wow. I don't think we even have to go in. depth on all the ways that this doesn't. make sense. I mean, just know that none. of Gabby's autopsy results match Brian's. version of events. None. Except for the. fact that he killed her. One netizen. writes, "She complains when I try to get. back to the van for help." Well, I guess. the only logical thing to do is strangle.

her to death. Like, what kind of even. narrative is this? One netizen points. out that fellow van lifers, hikers, and. visitors have always had cell service in. that area that she was found. He could. have easily called someone for help. Some are angry with his last line. Please pick up all my things. Gabby. hated people who litter. What a [ __ ]. smack in the face to Gabby's family. This piece of [ __ ] is so beyond. psychotic. Yeah, he felt so bad. He sent. fake texts to her family, drained her. bank account, stole her van, drove home, hid at his parents house until it became.

impossible to hide, and then he took. off, wrote this self- serving [ __ ]. and then self-exited. [ __ ] prick. One. forensic psychologist states, "It speaks. to a level of selfishness and a degree. of narcissism that it was important for. other people and how they looked at him. He had the last word and it was a self-s. serving narrative." Joe Patito states, "He was a liar. Nothing he said in those. stories were true, and he was a coward. till the day he died. And his family has. to know that he took the coward's way. out and they raised a coward. I would. use other words, but this is TV and it's.

just not appropriate." Gabby's stepdad, Jim, states, "Not one of the versions of. Brian's accounts was accurate by the. findings of Gabby's autopsy. The sole. cause of her death was strangulation, and nothing remotely or even close to. what he said." This letter has been. judged to Helen back for the fact that. he also uses the I pronoun way more than. he writes about Gabby. It just seems. like me me. So, the whole fact is the. whole thing is symbolic of a hero's. journey. He saves Gabby from her own. carelessness of slipping into the creek.

He carries her for as long as he can. He. stays with her and he even kills her out. of. compassion. This does not happen in real. life. A lot of the times this doesn't. even. happen in really extreme circumstances, let alone a hike. Like it just doesn't. happen. Mhm. Especially when you know. that in a previous journal entry he. wrote the words even killers and. rworders and child rworders are kept.

alive not to torture them but because. death is a harsh. punishment but you're just like I had to. kill her cuz she was in pain. Mhm. Now that Brian is no longer around to. answer for his crimes. A lot of netizens. feel and I think justified anger towards. Brian's parents. It is many people's. beliefs that Roberta and Chris Laundry. knew what Brian was doing. They knew. where he was going to be. They knew they. wasted taxpayers time and money and gave. the Petito family hope for justice when. they knew what he had done. He had. self-exited. Roberta has been called.

into question a lot in this case because. she's just obsessed with her son. Roberta states, "Even after knowing. what's happened, he's a very sweet boy, kind, considerate, loving. He loved his. nephews. He loved his sister. He loved. us. He was he had a lot of friends that. he was really friendly with. He's a good. boy, hard worker, and I could go on and. on. It was wonderful. That is insane. In. one deposition, she has straight up. asked, "Were you jealous of Gabby's. relationship with Brian?" "No." "Do you.

recall an incident in which you threw a. pie or like a cake away?" I didn't. remember it until you mentioned it. yesterday. So, she's in the deposition. And I didn't throw the pie away. It was. a silly end. My feelings got hurt over a. comment on the pie. And I did apologize. to Gabrielle because I think uh my. feelings were hurt and I was sulky and. but I thought it was all forgotten and. we were fine after that. But you know I. I was a little sulky that night and the. next day everything was fine. I'd. forgotten about it until it came up. yesterday. But I really thought nothing. of it and I thought she thought nothing. of it too. Well, what was the comment.

that was upsetting to you? I don't. remember if it was much of a comment so. much. It was you know I had made dinner. and I had made this pie and I was. excited about my pie and to present it. on the table. My mother was visiting and. I think I was just exhausted from all. the people in the house. When I put the. pie down, I think there was a comment. I. think there was just a little ruckus at. the table where it's so silly, but. nobody made a nice comment. I guess it. was a lack of comment. Nobody said, "Oh, nice pie." And I know that's so silly. and I regret it, but I got annoyed. And. I don't know why I got annoyed at kind.

of everybody and a little bit at. Gabrielle. And it was silly and I was I. felt bad. I don't even remember it. I. vaguely remember it. I just remember it. was a pie and I was embarrassed, but I. didn't throw out the pie. We ate the. pie, but I don't know. I just behaved. not so nicely and I apologized to. Gabrielle and she was very nice about it. and we were fine after that. because nobody said that was a nice pie. when she brought out the pie. Yeah, she. would say things like, "I wish my kids. would stay little, but things were. changing. He's growing up. He's taking a.

trip I wasn't thrilled about and it was. just difficult." In the deposition, she. is asked, "You would love your son no. matter what, including murder." Roberto. responds, "Well, I didn't say including. murder, but you know, I would always. love my boy no matter. what." Nothing, including murder, would. make you stop loving him. Correct? Oh, I. would always love. him. A lot of nizens think that this. sets the tone for Brian where he might. feel like, "Hey, maybe it's not just my. mom. Maybe every single woman and.

romantic partner or anyone in my life. really should give me their. unconditional undying love no matter. what I do. Which I get it. Most parents. would argue that they love their kids. unconditionally. But to say it and to. make them feel it is kind of weird to. some degree. I do think all love is. conditional. I just can't imagine if. someone I loved killed another person. because of what? Narcissism, jealousy, and DV and just like violent rage. I.

think that love would shift very. drastically. I mean, maybe it's because. I don't have kids, but I would even go. as far to say, I just don't think that I. could love that person anymore. I might. feel responsible for them, but how do. you love them still? To Roberto Laundry, it looks like Brian could never do any. wrong. But nobody can be convicted just. for being unlikable and disgusting. In. order for the Laundry parents to be. charged with anything, it would have to. be proven that they knew Brian Laundry. killed Gabby Patito and that they took. deliberate actions to assist him in. evading law enforcement. That's pretty.

much the letter of the law. According to. Robertorey's deposition, the week that. Brian comes home mysteriously with the. van, but without Gabby and the Therysies. coincidentally pay a $25,000 retainer. for an attorney, they also that same. week take him to get a new phone. She is. asked, "Why did he need a new phone? He didn't. say. Later, she's asked about if she. still has text messages between her and. Brian, and she says, "No, because when. he bought a new phone, I answered his. new number, and it automatically erased.

all the old texts." I've never seen that. happen in my life. Wait, what exactly. she said happened? I've had multiple new. phone numbers. Okay. She said he got a. new phone. She started texting that new. number and it erased all the old text. messages. It doesn't even make sense. Oh, oh, oh, oh. She's saying that I was. texting my son's old number and now I'm. texting my son's new number. So, the all. the old text messages are gone. It's. just a new text thread. It's just a new.

number. It's a new person. Yeah. To your. phone. Yeah. Yeah. That's dumb. It's. very dumb. But wouldn't you be able to. dig that up, too? Like just Yes. But. this is a deposition in a civil trial. between the Patito family and the. Laundry family. I think there's only so. much that can be entered into Discovery. without getting getting a criminal case. involved. Yeah, I see. So, she says, "No, because when I bought a new phone, I answered his new number and it. automatically erased all the old texts. I didn't know I was going to do that. I.

didn't realize." Did you try to recover. those old text messages? No. I didn't. even know that you could or how to go. about that. Even later, when she is. asked about the series of phone calls. Brian made to his parents soon after. Gabby Patito was likely dead. And soon. afterwards, the Laundry parents called. the attorney and put down a $25,000. retainer, Robera states she has no. recollection of those calls, but it was. probably just them catching up. But when. she gets repeatedly confronted with the. fact that you immediately called Steven. Berdalino, your family attorney, right.

after, she said, "No, I I thought I. called Brian." Huh? I don't know. Not. even a moment later, she says, "Well, Chris, my husband, Brian's dad, told me. Brian said Gabby was gone." And he told. me that Brian wanted him to call a. lawyer. I think that's when Chris was. telling me what Brian said. Gabby's gone. and please call a. lawyer. Okay. So, if Gabby's gone, please call a lawyer. Doesn't that say. to you that she's. dead? I don't know what to think. I. don't remember if it crossed my mind or.

if I was just so nervous. I just thought. he was in some kind of trouble. I don't. know what other possible explanation. could there be for she's gone. Please. call an attorney. A lot of things ran. through my head. Possibly they got in a. fight and you know, maybe she's going to. press charges against him or something. I don't know. Did you ask why I didn't. call Brian back after that? I don't know. if we talked again that day. Your son's. upset. Your husband says he says Gabby. is gone. Call a lawyer. You call a. lawyer and you never call your son back. immediately to say, "What's going on?

What's happening?". There is another 22-minute phone call. which she is asked about from her phone. at around 11:00 p.m. that night with. Brian. She says, "Yeah, I remember it. was before I was going to bed. I think. Chris was already asleep." And I. remember he said he was going to um he. said he was driving home. Your husband. was already asleep at that point after. getting a phone call from your son that. Gabby is gone. He's frantic. And you. call a lawyer. Was that all the same. day? Was a long weekend. We've been. away. You know, we we'd been at the. beach with the kids and the race, and.

Chris falls asleep early. This is a girl. you told me you loved, someone you. loved, someone who was going to become. part of your family, and you asked no. questions about her of your son when you. learned that she was gone. Correct. Correct. Weren't you concerned about. her? I was, but I think it was um it was. my son. I was concerned for my son. I. was concerned for her well-being because. I cared for her, but my son's driving. home and I'm nervous for him. Oh, you're concerned about her. well-being. So, what did you do about.

her well-being? Well, just, you know, Gabrielle, I thought she always was. could take care of herself, and I was. just concerned about my son at the time, and I just figured maybe her parents. could come get her or she would uh last. time he left her in a hotel. It's. pointed out that while Roberta has. Gabby's number, she never reached out. once, even though she was concerned for. her well-being. She could have just sent. her a text message. She states, "Because. I was just concerned about my son and I. don't know." Later, she's asked about. what they spoke about when Brian gets. home to Florida after this phone call.

If Gabby's gone, call an attorney. I'm. going to start driving back to Florida. And she says, "I think by that time, my. attorney advised me just not to talk to. him about anything. So, I just gave him. something to eat and we didn't talk. about. anything." Did you have that natural. instinct with Brian to want to speak. with your child since he's hurting? Well, not to talk to him and, you know, pump him for questions, but certainly to. love him and feed him and hug him and, you know, give him lots of love and keep. him safe and close. Everything about the. laundry response so far, their behavior,

I don't think that it's great. Protesters are outside of private homes. um harassing citizens, but I I don't. think it's unwarranted. I I see why it. happens, right? I don't know if we can. like sit here and judge the ethics of it. because then we can just go down a. rabbit hole because like what if it. happened to somebody else who actually. is not a bad person. We don't know, right? But in this. situation, I can't say I would go to. Florida and be like, "Protesters, go. home. Give them some space." It's just.

crazy. The protesters honestly are very. smart with it as well. They start. gathering outside screaming, "Justice. needs to be served. Bring Gabby home.". They also on a daily basis they're. bringing baskets of dirty laundry cuz. the laundry family leaving it out on. their lawn. And in the deposition, Robera basically. complains that the reason that she might. not have responded to the way that. people wanted her to respond was because. quote, "There were people outside our. doors banging on our doors, banging on. our windows, sending us death threats.

People were screaming very horrible. things at us. It was a very scary time. We couldn't leave the house. It was. frightening.". Christopher Laundry states in his. deposition, "There were people battering. my house down. Everything was very. difficult as far as, you know, people. It It was a very fearful. time." Even their attorney states, "For. the last 4 to 5 weeks, people have been. yelling and screaming outside of their. home. So, they're not exactly willing to. come out and say, "Oh, by the way, all.

you people who have been yelling at us, here's some information for you." One. consistent feeling that a lot of. netizens have is the Laundry family have. just never been able to read the room. They are constantly complaining about. how hard their lives are, which is why. eventually the Petito family will sue. them for intentional infliction of. emotional distress. Now, side note, even. ther family attorney is listed in this. lawsuit. His name is Steven Berdalino. He is not only their attorney that read. them and Brian for this case, he's a.

longtime neighbor and business partner. to some degree. They would invest in. real estate properties together. They're. all quite friendly. They've known each. other for over a decade. And Berilino. is, in my opinion, the lawyer that walks. in with that baggy suit, but he's just. got such a stinky attitude where you're. like, I don't think that we should be. yelling at the judge right now. Like. maybe we could yell at other people, but. don't yell at the judge or the jury cuz. that's just dumb. He's just yelling and. angry all the He just looks sour. Berolino just never stops yapping. And.

these are my opinions that I'm allowed. to have. Thererries and the Berilino, they say nothing helpful, but they also. can't seem to shut the [ __ ] up. They're. questioned about the initial statement. they released stating that they hope. Gabby is located and reunited with her. family. Now, about this reunited. statement, because it's been argued, if. they knew that Gabby was deceased by. this point, to say that they hope she's. reunited with their family is. intentionally causing emotional distress. by instilling false hope that they know.

doesn't exist. That's what the Petito. family are arguing in their lawsuit. Christopher Laundry, the father, is. questioned in the deposition. He's asked. if she was found dead. She couldn't be. reunited with her family, could she? Reunited is a term for either or. I. think either or what? Well, deceased or. not. But it doesn't say remains, does. it? I thought it was a good thing to say. and a nice thing to say. Well, I'm not. big on words, so my meaning is that they. would get to either Gabby's alive, my.

interpretation of the word, or not. And. it's not just the fact that they are so. useless in the investigation. It's also. the way that they talk. Berdalino, the. attorney, the way he even refers to the. Petito family is the only thing that the. Petito family has done so far as. communication is thrown out letters to. the public. I mean, but you're asking. me, could there have been conversations? There has never been an olive branch. reached out to us by their side. Olive. branch? Yeah. For what? That is what the.

reporter also asks. Their daughter was. murdered by the laundry son. Why would. they be the ones to put out an olive. branch? He doesn't really respond. And. this isn't even the first time he's said. something like this in an interview. He. says, "Had one of the attorneys for the. Petito family reached out to me, as they. should, instead of doing it by Twitter. or by open letter to the public, perhaps. we would have resolved some certain. issues many, many months ago. But that's. not the path that the Petito family has. chosen. So, we will walk down the path. with them that they have chosen to walk.

down." I just it's so amazing that. people have so much audacity with no. spine, no morals. I wouldn't even be. able to like show my face if that were. me, but he's like exactly. Later, when. Brian is missing, Steven states, "Chris. and Roberto Laundry do not know where. Brian is. They are concerned about Brian. and hope the FBI can locate him." the. speculation by the public and some in. the press that the parents assisted. Brian in leaving the family home or in. avoiding arrest or on a warrant, you.

know, that was issued after Brian had. already been missing for several days is. just wrong. He states, "The Therries are. being tortured in their own home by. these protests outside. They're being. harassed with lawsuits for a $40 sign. that was more than likely on their. property and should be considered. litter. And all the foregoing is. occurring when they have no idea whether. their son is alive or not. Which some. further context, a woman did sue. Christopher Laundry. She was protesting. outside the laundry house. Put up a. sign. The sign read, "What if this. happened to Cassie?" Now, this is.

Brian's older sister. This is their. daughter. Chris walks up to the sign, rips it out of the ground, and walks. with the sign back into his house. Clearly, the protester knows why she. filed the lawsuit. She said the lawsuit. is going to keep this relevant. It's. something that's going to drive the. Theresries a little nuts. That's it. So, I think it's like for priv private. property damage. The $40 sign to which. the attorney has responded, "The. protesting, the witch hunt, this. mobstyle crucification of Chris and. Roberto Laundry is just wrong and enough.

is. enough." A perpetrator straight up. responds like, "I could care less about. that attorney and what he feels and. thinks." Even the Northport Police Chief. made a direct plea with Steven. Berdolino, stating, "Mr. Steven. Berdalino, the Northport Police. Department needs your help in finding. Gabby. Please call us to arrange a. conversation with Brian Laundry. Two. people left on a trip and only one. person has. returned." Still, they continue to do. what Netzens feel is just not enough.

With netzens writing, "May your own. karma find you. You are disgusting.". Silence in this case is reprehensible. But others actually defend the attorney, writing, "This man is just doing his. job. It's the same exact job every. single defense attorney out there does.". Others respond, "A good defense attorney. who advises his clients not to give up. their fifth amendment right as. guaranteed by the Constitution is a good. attorney." As for Brian going missing, Berdalino tells a reporter, "The. Therries knew Brian was grieving the. night he left." Brian left the house on.

September 13th. Gabby's remains are. found September 19th. What do you mean the laundry parents. knew that Brian was grieving when he. left the house when Gabby's body hasn't. been found? So, does that mean that they. knew that Gabby was dead? That's crazy. When confronted with this word usage, he. just says, "Well, Brian had been. extremely upset. Chris and Robera were. very concerned about him. That's what I. meant." He says, "You know, you couldn't. write this Greek tragedy. Brian is not a. Ted Bundy. He's not a demon. He's not a.

serial killer." I'm not sure that the. narrative that has been pushed that Ryan. was a mean killer and Gabby was an angel. is entirely. true. That really has nothing to do with. this. It doesn't matter if Gabby was an. angel or not. She was killed. You don't. have to be this perfect victim that has. never said a curse word or has never. told a lie or has never done anything. that society might deem as like, "Oh, maybe I wouldn't have done that." That. that's crazy. The whole family's entire. response to everything is beyond. bizarre. After the burn after reading.

letter, Robera states that she wrote. that letter again way before their. cross-country trip. She's like in a. sworn affidavit, she states, "I wrote it. and gave it to Brian before Brian and. Gabby left Florida for New York, which. was June 2nd." The purpose of the letter. was to reach out to Brian while he and I. were experiencing a difficult period in. our relationship. Brian and I shared a. love of stories, and some of the. language in the letter was using similar. phrases to describe the depth of a. mother's love. I had hoped this letter. would just remind him of him of how much.

I loved him. She also says because. people are like, "Then why'd you say. burn after reading? That's suspicious.". She said, "Well, okay, it's actually. Gabby's fault. Gabby bought this book on. Amazon. It's like burn after writing.". You know those journals where you do the. things on the pages. It's like smash an. orange onto this page and it says burn. after using or burn after reading or. writing. It's like one of those. journals. She said it was a play on. that. I mean, nobody believes that. I mean, clearly they have a very strange.

relationship between Roberta and Brian. Even in the one of Brian's favorite. books, Choke by Chuck Pollenic, there is. this very interesting quote. Again, could have no correlation, but he. writes, "I don't know, but until your. mom dies, it seems like all the other. women in your life can never be more. than just your mistress. And it's not. like you can divorce your mother or kill. her.". This is a quote from the book. Yeah, but. it's just kind of weird cuz his. relationship with his mom does feel his.

mom indeed to many netizens feels like. the type of boy mom that feels like she. is dating her son, that she's in. competition with her son's romantic. interests. Now, due to the lawsuit filed by Gabby's. family, the Laundry parents both have to. sit in these depositions. They just say. some of the most insane stuff in the. depositions that yes, legally, I'm sure. very hard to argue, but morally and just. on a human scale, it is hard to believe. that someone is this dense. Even when. confronted with the fact that everyone.

in the world, it feels like, is. searching for Gabby. Why did Roberta. feel hope that Gabby was alive? She. said, "I just had hope. I've heard. stories where people are looking for. their daughter and they find her much. later, and so I just never wanted to. give up hope." In another part of the. deposition, Robera Laundry is confronted. with a statement that their attorney. Berdalino put out that said, "The news. about Gabby Patito is heartbreaking. The. Laundry family praised for Gabby and her. family. This was released after Gabby's. body is found, which she has asked, "How. was the news heartbreaking to you guys?".

Oh, it was heartbreaking in so many ways. just to know that Gabrielle was gone and. it was just. heartbreaking. So, it wasn't. heartbreaking before that? Well, I didn't know she was gone until. it was on the news. And then that's when. it was, you know, very heartbreaking. Which, side note, did you hear what she. just said. earlier? It was heartbreaking in so many. ways just to know that Gabrielle was. gone. This whole deposition, she's like, I didn't know gone means dead. I didn't.

know gone means dead. Yeah. Who? I. wasn't thinking gone is dead. I was just. thinking I don't know. I don't know what. I was thinking. She's confronted. Well, the words your husband told you on. August 29th is that she was gone. Right. Right. That was concerning but. heartbreaking. Our hearts were broken. when we found out that Gabrielle was. gone, deceased. So, when you found out she was. gone, did you reach out to her parents? No. Why not? We just kept following our.

attorney's advice not to speak to. anybody. She's also questioned about a. random coincidental email that she sends. to Brian the day he calls his parents. So Gabby is suspected to have been. killed the night of August 27th. They. talk August 29th and they hire that. attorney. But also Roberta sends Brian. an email about um how to get stains out. of t-shirts. when on the 29th. And she said it was.

just like an inside joke. She said, "Okay, so they ask, were you telling. Brian how to get a blood stain out of a. t-shirt?" No. And she further. elaborates, "It's because Gabby was. obsessed with Tide pens and it was just. like a thing. She just wanted to send it. cuz she was thinking about them." It's. like they know the whole world knows. Yeah. And we all know what they know. Like Yeah. It's like a very dumb Yeah. What? Yeah. Anyways, in the deposition, she further elaborates about the burn.

after reading letter, saying the whole. thing again is just a joke. She says, even if they're not good jokes, I'm. always joking. I would never actually. think he would end up in jail. He was. such a nice, good boy. I would never. imagine it, you know. I would never. imagine he would go to the moon. I. didn't think he would suddenly become an. astronaut and go to astronaut school and. go to the moon. It was just being. exaggerating and silly. It was a silly. letter. Like, no matter what, I love. you. I love you. Love you. Love you. Also, Roberta, you're weird. I don't. know what else to say, but at one point. she's trying to explain that things are.

just jokes and what kind of jokes she. finds funny. She said the burn after. reading letter, she's trying to explain. it's only weird now in hindsight. She. didn't know any of this was going to. happen. She wrote that months and months. and months ago. She said it's like, you. know, when I went to work in the World. Trade Center, they on the top floor had. this place where tourists could come and. get their picture taken and it looks. like they're leaping off the building. And it was very funny and you could put. like a funny face and then you would pay. $10 for this picture and you get a. picture of you falling off the trade. center. That was so funny and everybody.

had funny faces. I'm saying this was. because at the time it was a joke. Later. when people actually did fall off the. World Trade Center, it was not so funny. That is a crazy example. Yeah. Wow. Like. I don't even think I would know what to. say if I were the Petito family. attorney. They're just like, "Well, this. isn't so funny now that we know that. your son murdered Gabby, is it?". Exactly. Whereas Christopher's. deposition is incredibly blunt. He gives.

little to no responses. He seems like he. knows nothing about anything. I don't. know if that's a legal tactic or I. genuinely think that he gives more of. the energy of, you know, those Jimmy. Kimmel parts where they go out onto the. street and they ask the dad, "When's. your kid's birthday? Does your kid have. any medical illnesses we need to know. about?" and they have no clue. It kind. of is reminiscent of that. He seems like. he does get Brian's birthday wrong at. one point. So I I don't know like what. completely wrong or I think he got the. year wrong. And then Robera had to.

clarify in her deposition the day later, but he just states about those phone. calls that he got August 29th. You know, I asked him how he was doing. He was not. calm. He got very excited and told me. that, you know, Gabby's gone. And he got. very frantic. Everything was frantic and. quick. So, you know, Gabby's gone. He's. very excited. Meaning what? Well, I have no idea what. he meant. What? Well, what else did. Brian say? Well, that was, you know, it.

was quick. He said, you know, he was. very panicked and he said he didn't know. what to do. He said, "Can you help me?". You know, and he might need a lawyer, you know, and I I would ask him why he. wouldn't tell me. He was very frantic. Everything was frantic and I started to. not really comprehend. And he was just. like, "Can you help me?" And I said, "Okay, I'll help you." And then I calmed. him down a bit and I said, "I don't. know." It was all mumbled and I still. don't remember everything that happened, but you know, he said he needed to get. an attorney and he hung. up. Did you understand Gabby is gone to. mean that something happened to. Gabby? I understood it that something.

was wrong. Okay. Something was wrong. Meaning what? I had no idea. How do you. interpret that? Right. Someone is gone. Either someone left or someone has. passed. But you have to combine it with. I need a lawyer. Oh yeah, that's what. I'm saying. Like he keeps saying I don't. know. Yeah. It's like either they left. you or they're dead. Yeah. Either I. thought someone left me or someone is. dead. One is like oh they just left you. So yeah, okay, fine. Move on. The other.

one's like, "Oh my goodness, what. happened?" Yes. So what do you mean? Keep saying no. I don't know. I don't. know. That's clearly lie. He knows some. So, it's like it's a she either left the. relationship or b she's deceased. And. then from there, when you get the part. where he says, "I need an attorney.". Anyone with brain cells that are not. actively cannibalizing itself would. assume if it's the other. Okay. I think. it's this now. I think she's dead. because you're asking for an attorney.

Yeah. Gone is not a vague word. Yeah. Gone is not like this esoteric feeling. Gone really is not really a metaphor. even. Yeah. He said, "I had no idea. Your your son is frantic and he wants. you to call a lawyer because Gabby is. gone." Did you believe at the time that. he murdered her? No. Did you believe. that she was dead at the time? Not at. all. What? Where did you think gone. meant? I didn't even know what to think. at the moment. You know, at all. So he.

also states that when Brian got home. from the quote fateful trip, he seemed. quote like a kid who came home, you. know, trouble in trouble. That's how he. seemed. Well, let's connect the dots. He. told you Gabby was gone. He's frantic. He's upset. He's like a kid that came. home and he was in trouble. Did that. lead you to believe he murdered Gabby? No. No. I don't know what happened. I. don't know what happened. He, like Roberta, claims that since that.

day forward, he never asked Brian what. happened. What he meant by Gabby is. gone, he never asked because the lawyer. said, "You guys don't talk about it.". Did you consider how the Petitos might. be feeling not knowing where their. daughter was? I'm a considerate person. Of course, I was. It's not a pleasant. thing for anybody, I'm sure. The one. thing that people really wanted to know. in the depositions, which we really. don't get answers to, is what the hell. the entire Laundry family were doing, including Brian, going camping after. Gabby is missing. So Brian comes home.

alone to Florida September 1st. 6 days. after September 6th, the whole Laundry. family go camping in Fort Dotto. This is. not the same place that he is missing. in. It's about 60 mi away. September 6th. to 8th, the whole family is camping. Some people think that this was a test. trip to see if he can live off-rid to. test him. Others think that they were. talking about things that maybe they. couldn't talk about in the family home. because I don't know, maybe they're. being paranoid. So, this is before there. were protesters, but maybe they were. being paranoid of Yeah. There's so many.

electronic devices. I don't know. Yeah. Or some people think maybe it's one last. family trip because they all know what's. about to come and maybe Brian is going. to self-exit and he they just know that. the walls are closing in and he doesn't. want to go to jail. Roberta is confronted with this in the. deposition and she is asked, "How could. you go on vacation knowing that Gabby. was gone while the Petito family was. looking for her? We just had planned to. go. We just wanted to test out our new. camper overnight." So, this is not. Gabby's van. It's a camper. We were just.

doing our regular thing. I I I don't. know. Berilino, the attorney says, "I. can tell you that therries always go. camping as evidenced by the camper in. their driveway on display for all the. world to see. Whether or not they went. to a particular campsite on a particular. day, I cannot tell you and it's not. worth the time in my. opinion. Brian's sister Cassie is 10. years older than Brian. She also had. protesters and reporters outside her. home that she shares with her husband. and kids. Now, for a while, she also. remained quiet. It wasn't until later.

that she just came out out of nowhere, out of the house, ready to talk to. people. She said, "I'm losing my parents. and my brother and my children's aunt, Gabby, and my future sister-in-law on. top of all of this, and you guys are not. helping. We're cooperating with the. police. We're not supposed to talk to. anybody, and you're making my children. cry." When was this? When did she start. coming out? This is um after Gabby is. missing, and the whole world is like, "What is going on?" So, this is after. they're camping. This is after Brian is. home. This is after the world finds out. that Gabby is missing, but they don't.

know Gabby has passed yet. No. So this. is when she like in that window she Mhm. So her Gabby's body has not been found. yet. Okay. Why are your parents like. what do you mean you're losing your. parents? Because they're not talking to. us either. Why aren't they talking to. you guys? If I knew I would say I don't. know. Do you think they're involved? Your parents? I don't know. We know. nothing. You don't know. You're not. We've been finding everything out with. the news like everybody else. She says.

this is not what we want to be doing. This is not how we want the world to. find out when we're angry and upset. But. I can't have my kids be crying for three. days in a row. My parents' lawyer. screwed me over. I'm livid and I'm not. talking to him. I'm in the boat where. I'm getting ignored by my entire family. and thrown under the bus by my family's. attorney. So, I'm just as mad. Why. aren't they talking to you guys? If I. knew, I would say. Did Brian kill Gabby? I don't know. When describing Brian and. Gabby's relationship, she says, "Of. course, everybody bickers, but nothing.

like what people are saying, or else we. would have done something about it. I. don't stand for that. I was in a bad. relationship, similar to what, you know, saying has happened. I wouldn't let that. happen. We're not the evil monsters. we're being made out to be. We are. unfortunately in the dark as much as. everybody else." She says that she was. also confused that Brian came home back. to Florida without Gabby. She said, "My. jaw hit the floor." I mean, the first. thought in my head was, "Oh, they must. have broken up and he doesn't want to. talk about it, and I'm going to give him. space." And then he went. missing. They explained that Ryan's.

parents aren't speaking because they. have a lawyer. My parents lawyer. We. don't have a lawyer. We have nothing to. hide. We were told not to talk to. anybody. And I'm upset that we have to. come out here and do. this again. Do you think that Brian. killed Gap? I don't know. Silence is not. guilt. The FBI told us not to talk. The. sooner he is found, the sooner this is. over for us. I would tell my brother to. just come forward and get us out of this. horrible. mess. To which one netzen comments, "The. parents picked their murdering son over.

their daughter and grandchildren. Lovely. people." Others comment, "I do give her. credit for coming out to talk unlike her. parents." But Gabby's parents and most. nizens still don't understand why she. couldn't do anything to try and get. Brian to speak. Gabby's mom says, "What. does that statement even do? It does. nothing. She might have been out of the. loop from the beginning. Who knows what. the parents kept from family members? But instead of saying that, if these. people supposedly loved Gabby, if she's. like a sister, if your kids love her so. much, why aren't you begging them to. talk? Additionally, newly revealed text.

messages in the Netflix documentary show. Robera Laundry and Cassie talking about. the investigation in a really bizarre. tone. They're talking about how the. Northport police state to the public. that they didn't know that Brian went. hiking because they saw Roberta and they. thought it was Brian. Remember? Mhm. But Robera texts Cassie. The Northport. police said Brian and I have a quote. similar build. Boy, Brian would be not. happy about that. Sister Cassie says, "Yeah, everyone's laughing at that. remark because not even remotely.

close." Roberta responds, "Short, pudgy, and a big bottom." Or short, sassy, and. pear-shaped. She's describing her own. body. But again, does this really like. I'm just Put yourself in the shoes. Your. loved one is missing. So bizarre. Another infuriating detail to this case. is well, it's infuriating how the. laundry is I think a little bit of how. Cassie is also carrying herself. But. Gabby probably cared more for Brian's. family than Brian ever did. Even when.

they're on road trips, Gabby would take. the time to write draw on postcards for. Cassy's kids. One reads, "Hey, Uncle. Brian and I miss you so much. Everywhere. we go reminds us of you. Like the red. rocks at Bryce Canyon. The sky here is. so open. There's more stars than I've. ever seen. Scorpio is so big and always. bright every night. It's always the. first one we spot. Love, Aunt Gabby. She's like stacks of postcards that she. sent to Cassie's kids. Regardless, a lot. of people don't like Cassie, the sister,

and people don't like this whole camping. trip that they went on. Cassie says, "We. just went for a couple of hours." So, she's saying the parents and Brian, she's not even saying how long they were. staying there, but she's saying for me. and my family, me and my kids, we were. there for a few hours, met up with them. There was no grand feeling of goodbye. There was no nothing. I mean, I'm. frustrated that in hindsight, I didn't. pick up on anything. It was just a. regular visit. So, they joined in in. that two-day trip or uh they joined in. on the last day. She said that she had. to leave after dinner and s'mores. because the kids had school,

like a quick trip. Yeah. Again, I don't. know if my family is constantly camping. and they're going on a camping trip and. let's say I have two three kids, it's a. school day. I'm not I don't think I'm. driving 80 miles for dinner. Mhm. 80. miles there, 80 miles back home for. dinner. I don't think I'm doing it. Mhm. I just be like, "We'll see you in the. next one cuz that's crazy." Yeah. But I. don't know. Maybe they just love. camping. I I'm not saying anything. I'm.

just saying that's my personal opinion. Maybe I'm lazy. I don't know. Mhm. One. expert states, "I think Brian's parents. did help him once he came home. He shows. up with the van without her. What does. he tell his parents? Oh, we broke up. I. left her out there. I just decided to. drive the van back home and let's go. camping." That doesn't make sense. You. have to connect the dots. You have to. put that puzzle together. Others point. out suddenly he goes from your sacred. son that can do no wrong that is Jesus. reincarnated and everybody should love.

him to he goes missing and we're not. going to do anything to find him that's. very strange but the attorney Berdalino. in defense of the laundry says when. you've got a gaggle of press and. screaming public out at your door 24. hours a day do you think that Brian and. Roberta are going to go down to Walmart. and start putting up signs help me find. my son now he does say Brian he means. Chris, Chris and Roberta, the parents. But he does say Brian and Roberta. Interesting slip. But regardless, with. the new Netflix documentary being.

released, there are once again. circulating theories that Brian Laundry. is actually not dead. Because of the way. that thereries have handled themselves. when he goes missing because of. everything that's progressed, they just. feel like he is alive and he is out. there. There have been old pictures dug. up of what someone resembles Brian. eating at a restaurant in Mexico. another of someone who resembles Brian. eating fried chicken with the caption, "Did Brian Laundry come in for fried. chicken tonight." There's a Tik Tocker. who looks similar to Brian Laundry and.

um had to make his whole Tik Tok account. called Not Brian Laundry. A lot of. people are just taking this at face. value with some people running with the. conspiracy theories that he's alive. somehow. He faked his own death in the. reserve with the help of his parents and. he is out there. I mean, that's a mom. who would do anything for her son, clearly. And she probably stated that. once before in her deposition, so he's. got to be free watching all this unfold. Others argue, what if he didn't even. leave the country? That's so hard. What. if he's in that house? A lot of people. are taking drone footage of Roberta and.

Chris laundry gardening in the backyard. So, while Brian is missing, Roberta is. gardening non-stop. And they say it looks almost at one. point that a hand is coming up from out. of the soil. So what if they had some. sort of system under there that he could. crawl under and hide and they're hiding. him. There have been all sorts of. conspiracy theories that they have. tunnels built under the house. He's. under the garden. At one point he would. have been under the shed. People are.

like the FBI need to check the cameras. Other conspiracy theorists believe that. Brian is alive but not under the garden. Not in Mexico. He's likely somewhere in. the Appalachian Mountains with some. reports stating that they are certain. that they interacted with him on the. trail. Now, I will say a few things. about this. A lot of these conspiracy. theories were from before Brian's. remains were found in the Carlton. Reserve. So, before they're found, people are like, "I just saw him in. Mexico. Here's a picture of him of what. looks like him on the Appalachian.

Trail." Now, once his remains were. found, there were still some people who. were heavily invested in the case that. were having doubts and going back and. forth. But then with the Netflix. documentary, I think a lot of new people. that didn't know about the case found. out about it and they just started. running with maybe a few Tik Toks that. they saw. So, one of the biggest things. that I saw on Tik Tok that was. circulating was that Brian's uncle was. the one that identified his remains to. be Brian. A lot of netisonens are saying.

that Brianrey's uncle was the one to. identify the dental remains, which means. he could just lie and say it's a match, except it's not true. So with Brian, the. first thing that was identified was his. dental remains cuz it's fast. It's way. faster than checking DNA of someone. So. they confirmed the dental remains and. then they did the DNA. And the medical. examiner, the forensic aontologist, the. medical examiner's office, nobody that. worked on this case is related to Brian. Laundry. So regardless if maybe. Brianrey's previous pediatric dentist or.

any dentist had been his uncle, they. were not the ones to verify his remains. Even if they cross referenced that's I. mean they did DNA, they did everything. So it it would be very hard. Now if. you're saying maybe there's only a few. teeth like maybe cuz I saw some people. are like what if he just plugged out his. teeth and left them. There were also. some rumors on Tik Tok that not a lot of. bones were found and just a few teeth. were found. That is also false. Um, the.

vast majority of his bones, including. very large bones that you just cannot. live without or it would be very. difficult to expel them from your body. and be alive without proper medical. care. Yeah, they they were there and. they were confirmed to be. Brianreeries. So, I think that's what is. also kind of tricky. a lot of things. have just been kind of warped and then. run. I do think that when he was. missing, a lot of people felt like he. was on the run. So, it's almost like. they're taking sentiments of that and.

it's kind of warped into this thing. And. the only reason that I'm trying to. debunk a lot of these conspiracies is I. imagine it's very difficult for the. Patito family to hear over and over. again that he might be alive. And it. becomes less of a story of what happened. to Gabby. And they're trying so hard to. raise awareness for DV and more of like, ooh, conspiracy. What if he's alive? And. I do get it. Conspiracies are very. interesting, but it just seems. there's not really a lot of good basis. behind the theories. Side note, there.

was also misinformation briefly that the. gun that was used for his self-exit was. never found. Um, it it was found. Others. question a part of the autopsy report. that says that Brian had died anywhere. between 45 days and 672 days prior to. his body being found. He had only been. missing for 37 days, so people thought. it was strange. But the same autopsy. results state the water temperature was. 85°. Postmortem interval was 47 to 672. days or approximately 1 and 1/2 months.

to nearly 2 years. These findings must. be interpreted with caution because. these studies have not been adequately. tested in Florida. Florida's hot, Florida's humid. There's so many natural. predators in where he was found. It is. not the most unbelievable. So, people. were saying Gabby was found weeks later, but her body is generally intact, but. she was found in Grand Teton. He's found. 3 ft submerged in water for weeks in.

humid hot weather with lots of animal. predators. And so, people were just. saying, I mean, could it really do that. much to a body? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean just even different. temperatures of water water that a body. would be submerged in you would be. surprised at how yes of decomposition of. how much it varies. I wonder like even. just a couple degrees will mean. everything for the reaction of and the. types of bacteria that are harbored in. those types of swamp waters versus like. ocean water or fresh water like a.

spring. Those that would be very. different too. Yeah. Now, in an. interview, the family attorney, Berilino, states, "And as everybody. knows, Brian's remains and personal. items were located somewhat in close. proximity to the entrance to the park.". So, a lot of people think he sounds like. he's saying identifying items, which. sounds very. like you want to put identifying items. near entrance, the body to be like, "Oh, this is my identity." But he says all. that speculation came from legal experts.

that Brian is still alive that were on. these 24-hour news shows that had to. fill in some time. And what better way. to fill in some time than make up stuff. There was speculation that there were. burner phones, that we were dressing him. in funny outfits and sending him across. the Mexican border, sending him across. certain bodies of water to other. countries. All of that was just to fill. in the networks that just had to fill in. some time. He says he wants to laugh. when he thinks about how. horribly Chris and Roberto Laundry were. treated by the media. He says, "Uh, I. think the media needs to check itself.".

I can tell you that I had several words. with some producers for the media when. they wanted me on their shows. They went. from reporting the news to making up the. news. And it was it was just horrible. With respect to the public, certainly. they have the right to intervene and. protest, but I don't think it's. acceptable in our society, our civilized. society, to have people protesting. outside of anyone's homes. I will say. again, a lot of nizens have mixed. feelings about this, but but I think the.

one sentiment that nizens come across is. maybe if they had underage children in. that home. Like people were upset that. people were protesting outside of. Cassie's home cuz also it's like a. degree of separation. Like it's her. brother. I don't know. Right. And also. she's got three young kids, so people. were upset about that. But with. therries, I think most netizens are on. the Well, I'm not calling the police, you know. Yeah. Everyone's thinking the. parents are literally shielding the the. sun, which they kind of are like Yeah. And at the time that the protesters were.

there, a lot of nizens were split. Is. this okay? Is this not okay to do? Right. However, in hindsight, a lot of. nizens think maybe they should have had. more protesters so people knew where. Brian was going. Yeah. Because Brian. just left and the police did nothing. Yeah. But Berilino states, "I think we. don't do witch hunts anymore." And. that's what the mob did. The media. supported it. And if you go back and you. review the tape, you'll see that I'm. correct. I have no warm and fuzzy. feelings for the way that the press. handled this particular. saga. Okay. Nobody has warm and fuzzy.

feelings for you. And just some random. points of contentions that nizens have. After Brian's death, the parents spent. about three hours hiking in the same. area, which some could argue could be. their way of grieving, but it just what. are they doing? Some thought it was just. weird. So, it seems with most netizens. that have been following this case. pretty closely and have been following. the work that the Petito family have. been doing, it it's pretty clear that. Brian is dead is what most netizens. feel. However, the part that nizens are. having a really hard time accepting is.

that the laundry parents did not know. what was happening. They just can't. accept it. Brian's parents must have. known. They must have known what he was. leaving to do. They must have known what. happened is what nizens feel. Rose. Gabby's one of her closest friends says. his parents found his remains. You know, that blew my mind. I didn't even believe. it. I thought it was like fake news. I. was like, what do you mean? This makes. no sense. I was pissed off to be honest. I just wanted answers. And when we found. his remains, those answers went out the. door. Others have also pointed out that.

Robera Laundry goes dressed in black to. find her dead son's body. Nicole Gabby's. mom says, "That whole thing was. mindboggling to me. I don't even. understand any of it. I don't understand. it." She states, "I speak for myself. when I say, Brian, I forgive you. I. needed to release myself from the chains. of anger and bitterness." So, she's. saying, "I forgive you." Not because. what he did is forgivable, but she just. needs to move on so she can help other. people. They started a Gabby Patito. Foundation where they help other victims.

of DV. And I I can imagine that must be. very difficult if you're just consumed. with anger all day. And to see these. types of cases that are so similar, I. don't think that anyone could handle it. if they don't release some of that or. let it go a little bit. And she says, "I. refuse to let your despicable act define. the rest of my life. But as for you, Roberta, I call you out individually. because you are evidently the mastermind. that shattered your family and mine with. your evil ways. I see no empathy in your.

eyes, no remorse in your heart, no. willingness to take responsibility for. your actions. You do not deserve. forgiveness. You deserve to be. forgotten. Now, the Jeopardy game, you. know those game shows? There's a game. called Jeopardy and they asked a. question during the actual show that. reads, "In 2021, fugitive Brian Laundry. ended his days in Florida's Makahahachi. Creek Park, home to these long and. toothy creatures." So now you're.

supposed to be like, "The answer is. alligators." Or, "What is alligators?". That's how they phrase it. I don't know. why, but um the answer is alligators. Is. this distasteful? I think so. But the. fact that thereries barely ever speak. out about anything, but they're so. enraged by this question. This is. recent. So this is after Brian is dead. They spoke out about this Jeopardy. question and that rubbed nizens the. wrong way. So this Jeopardy this. Jeopardy episode releases and I would. say like 95% of netzens are like that is.

pretty distasteful. I will say most. people are like are we going to cancel. Jeopardy? Probably not because it's. Brian Laundry but that is pretty gross, right? But then once therrewies come out. with this statement, the entire laundry. family is appalled and concurs with all. the comments on social media on how. distasteful this is. I believe an. apology is due. Please. For this. distasteful Jeopardy question to be. posed only highlights the sensationalism. that surrounded this tragedy and puts. salt on the wounds of a family that has.

not been afforded any rights or privacy. when the family themselves did nothing. wrong. So now most nizens at this point start. switching up. In my opinion, somewhat. understandably, they start switching. from feeling outraged at the distasteful. question to hold on. What did you just. say? The overall sentiment turning to. have they apologized to the Petito. family for withholding information. pertaining to their daughter's murder? No. Okay, then moving on. Or that was. tasteless. However, therries deserve. nothing, so they can go cry about it. I.

don't care. Others felt it was more of a. slap to the Petito family than anything. Other netizens are like, "Forget. Jeopardy. Talk about the dumb cops. The. fact that they didn't know that Brian. went missing, that none even the Moab. police. Like, what do you mean?" So, with that, in 2022, the Petito family. sue the Laundry family. And the Laundry. attorney just basically tried to argue. that thereries are exercising their. right to remain silent. And if the. lawsuit were to go through, that would. completely turn the fundamental.

constitutional rights on silence on its. head. But thereries also counter the. lawsuit. So when it's a civil lawsuit, there's like phases called discovery. where just a lot of things get exposed. and both parties need to have access to. specific information. You can't just be. like, "No, you can't look at this. because this is my phone." Like you. can't there's certain things that the. judge has to approve that both parties. need to have access to. But therries. counter with a very long list of. requests for the Petito family. The. whole list is very long. They want all. communications that both Gabby's parents.

had with state and federal agencies. They want all phone records from Gabby. and her parents from July 2nd to. September 30th of 2021. They want any. documents and communications regarding. the compensation or contracts related to. publishing rights, movie rights, or. television rights. That's so gross. Yeah. You know what's. even more gross is the fact that. sometimes the damage is done by. requesting something. So the Petito.

family, they are not thinking about. movie rights or television rights. But. when the Laundry family requests that, you will see a good group of netizens. turn around and say, "Yeah, they're on. too many TV shows right now talking. about what happened. You're right. Maybe. they maybe the foundation is like they. want more. fame. Even asking for something that. probably doesn't exist is already. planting seeds in a lot of the public's. mind. And I I think they knew exactly.

what they were doing in my opinion. People commenting are saying the nerve. that they have to request anything at. all from Gaby's parents though is. despicable. They also argue in the. motion that they should be quote. protected from annoyance and. embarrassment and the public curiosity. is not a reason to require them to. discuss personal and heart-wrenching. details. Another insane detail to add, Roberta drives the Mustang, the silver. Mustang that Brian drove to the park to. the deposition. They have other. cars. Why do you have to drive that.

specific car? to which one nizen. comments, "This is a whole my son is. more important than your daughter m". moment. That woman is really evil. They. reach an undisclosed settlement in 2024, but the Laundry family have not had any. criminal charges filed against them. And. with that, the Gabby Patito family have. started the Gabby Patito Foundation. Nicole says, "We started the foundation. We just want to bring attention to the. dangers and the signs of DV, more. awareness, prevention. I mean, we would. do anything to bring Gabby back, but.

that's obviously not possible. So, we. have a choice. We can do nothing, or we. can use her voice, her platform, and try. to change lives for others, help people. make sure that this story doesn't happen. again. They've been big in advocating. for what is called the lethality. assessment protocol. It's a series of. questions that police officers are. trained on to get further context on DV. related calls. It's not even just the. way they ask the questions. It's the. questions themselves. It's the way that. they're told to gather these responses.

because a lot of DV victims feel like. they need to take the fault because if. they let anything happen to the abuser, it's probably going to come back five. times harder on them if they ever get. out of jail or if they nothing happens. God forbid they tell the truth to the. police and then they're still not taken. to jail, which happens a lot. Gabby's father says, "I hope when I. leave this place and I get to see her. again, I can ask her, did I make you. proud? I hope she'll say. yes." Gabby's story has clearly. resonated with a lot of people. One.

netzen writes, "Gabby saved my life 3. years ago. I didn't even know her, and I. wish she was still on this earth to. thank her in person. I left my abusive. ex of 6 years once I followed this case, and I heard how she was taken away. I. will forever be thankful for her. I will. always think of her and I love you. Gabby. There has been a lot of discourse. about how Gabby's story was covered and. how so many other people go missing and. never get coverage. Just in Wyoming, which is where Gabby went missing, 710.

indigenous people, mostly girls, have. gone missing in the past decade, and. none of them have hit national headlines. to any degree that is even comparable to. Gabby Patito's story. A lot of people. were upset that the minute someone goes. missing, that's not indigenous, that's. all the entire world can talk about. With one reporter saying, "Imagine the. men and women and children in the. community where the last 10 years more. than 700 indigenous people have gone. missing and nobody has said a word, but.

one missing white woman turns up in. their backyard and the world suddenly. pays attention.". Joe Patito, Gabby's dad, saw the news. and he felt the initial wave of shock. and anger. Like, what do you mean people. only care about my daughter because. she's white? I'm sure on a personal. level, you feel slightly attack taking. it back. Like, the worst thing that. could have happened to Gabby happened. and people are saying, why are we only. talking about Gabby? He said, when I. heard that, my initial reaction wasn't a. positive one. Saying Gabby's color was.

the only reason. You know, I was taken. aback by that. But he said instead of. anger, he took a deep breath and he. said, "Then I started looking into it. I. did a deep dive. I looked at popular. missing person's cases and yeah, the. ones that hit the mainstream, they all. look the same." And so he has spent the. last 3 years advocating for missing. black, brown, and indigenous people. through the foundation. And also, we're. working on a lot of lesserk known cases, so keep an eye out for those coming. soon. But it's just um it is interesting. to see how he didn't just lash out in.

anger. Mhm. And yeah, but a lot of. people have said this case serves as a. really good message on TV. I mean, everything that you expect of Gabby. stating that she's the one that started. the fight. She did something that. warranted the abuse. She's the one that. instig instigated it. She's taking. responsibility for Brian's actions. That's typically what victims do. Additionally, the fact that Brian is. taking her phone and her keys, that. should have been such a red alarm for. the officers. M. It's not your phone.

It's not your keys. You can't take other. people's belongings. Mhm. And the fact. that you think that you can is crazy. Like, that's already. abusive. The Patito family filed a $50. million wrongful death suit against the. Moab Police Department, to which, okay, there was a lot of backlash when they. filed this lawsuit with people saying, "Why is it that parents just love making. money off their dead kids?" Yeah. I. let's not even get me started on that.

rant, but every single penny would have. gone to the Petito Foundation. So, it's. even if it didn't, it's just like what. are we doing right now? But they state. the four of us, her four parents don't. want to be here. We would give it up in. a second if that meant that she was. back. Unfortunately, this is the best. way to have those changes made. It's. that simple. A segment of the lawsuit. reads, "The officers never directly. questioned Brian about whether he hit. Gabby or how she ended up with scratches. on her face. The officers egregiously. misinterpreted Gabby's extreme emotional.

distress, seeing it as the cause of. domestic violence rather than the. result. Negligence deprived Gabby of her. safety and ultimately her life. They. brought up other things where Officer. Pratt, the main one leading the. investigation of the Moab, um when they. pulled the couple over, he went on a. podcast once and he said, "It's just too. much paperwork. Like, there's no way I'm. doing all that paperwork." Like, people. have said he loves to say stuff like. that. But still, there are some people. who see the body cam footage and they. see nothing wrong with it. They say, "Sorry parents, but she admitted she was. the abuser. This is always about the.

money. These parents are. disgusting." And to kind of fuel those. netizens, even the police department, Moab, described the lawsuit as quote, "a. substitute for a GoFundMe campaign.". Gabby's father responded, "Mab still. doesn't get it. This case has never been. about money." Ultimately, a judge. dismissed the lawsuit against the Moab. police for Gabby's death. A spokesperson. for the police department states, "Gabby's death was a terrible tragedy, but there was no way for the officers to. predict what happened later during the.

couple's trip. It's clear the Moab City. Police Department officers were are not. responsible for Gabrielle Patito's. eventual murder. Our officers acted with. kindness, respect, and empathy towards. Miss Patito." Clearly, nizens feel. differently with one comment reading, "They had two witnesses telling them. that very clearly he was hitting her.". Others stating, "What were the police. supposed to do, though? They separated. them and they can't help if they link. back up. That's like blaming the parents. for not doing more when they knew them a. heck of a lot better than the police. To.

which someone fights back, what do you. mean what the police were supposed to. do? Their jobs. Review the entire. interaction. It's insane. People are. saying if Gabby had been arrested, maybe. it would have been a red alarm for her. parents to come in and say, "Wait, we. didn't know what was happening." Because. obviously victims will try to hide it. for as long as possible. Others say. they're not directly responsible for. Gabby's murder, but they definitely need. training and retraining and spotting. signs and tells of DV. They also need. lessons on dropping the good old boy. club attitude. Example, the cop that.

basically said, "Oh, Brian, I understand. women are so emotional and crazy. What. the [ __ ] was. that?" One expert in DV states, "The. officers just green lit the abuser. They've just reinforced his behavior.". And I think he felt relief, and I saw. that relief in that footage. It was. palpable. Now, one survey done with no. relation to Gabby's case found that one. in four women are scared to call the. police on their abuser for that exact. reason. One states, "Everyone believes. him because he's so nice and sweet and. respectful to them, but it's different.

He will say it's me and the police will. believe him." Another victim states, "I. felt the police were buddy buddy with my. partner and ignored what I had to say. about the reality of the situation. I. was scared and they ignored me." The. survey showed that one in four women. reported that they had been arrested or. threatened with arrest during a partner. abuse incident in which they were the. victim. One person wrote, "They believed. him every time because he didn't leave. marks. But this time he did and they. accused me of hitting myself in the face. because they would tell me that we need.

to separate and since I had nowhere to. go, I should sleep in my car. He had. cuts on his knuckles from hitting me and. they said I should be charged with. assault.". The Moab Police Department even. questions, "Would Gabby be alive today. if this case was handled differently?". That is an impossible question to. answer. Nobody knows, and nobody will. ever know how to answer that question. Gabby's entire family took a trip out to. where Gabby was found. Nicole says, "As. soon as I landed in Wyoming, the only. words coming out of my mouth were, "Oh. my gosh." Because of how beautiful it.

was. Once we got to where Gabby was, you. could just feel her presence and her. spirit there. The family decided to. spread Gabby's ashes at her final. resting place. Some people were. wondering why they would choose to do. such a thing, but they said they felt. her presence. It's such a beautiful. place. Gabby loves Grand Teton and she. always wanted to visit. So that's why. And all of her family members say they. just felt her there. Even when they went. to spread her ashes, they took this. group photo and there's this huge orb in. the middle of the photo and they say.

Gabby. There was Gabby with them. There. was a local memorial held for Gabby. where they released butterflies and one. butterfly landed on a picture of Gabby. and stayed for a little while. The. Petito family have since crushed the van. and kept the gasoline cap and a sticker. Last year during the 3-year anniversary. of Gabby's death, her dad writes online, "3 years ago, you were taken from us. We. can't stop crying when we think of you. There is no waking up from this. nightmare. I ask anyone who reads this. to please share a missing person flyer. today." They all have matching tattoos.

that Gabby had on her arm that says let. it be with an ocean wave and they say. the only question that they have is why. couldn't Brian just let her. be. As for therries, they have remained. very private still. But with the Netflix. documentary being released, Steven. Berilino, the family attorney, releases. a statement. The documentary was what we. expected. One perspective depicted as. the truth as seen through their lens. Similar to Republicans and Democrats.

fighting it out lately, each side. believes their perspective is correct. Hard to see through the lens of the. other with all the noise and distrust. The documentary contained many. inaccuracies, incorrect juapositions of. timelines and misstatements and. emissions of fact, perhaps deliberate to. capture their quote truth, perhaps due. to simple error. We all know that Brian. took Gabby's life and then Brian took. his own as well. Let the parents of both. Gabby and Brian mourn and remember them. in peace. As for Cassie Laundry, Brian's. sister, after the Netflix documentary,

she went to Instagram to tell the new. wave of all the haters, "If you're new. here and just starting to attack me. today, I've been no contact with my. parents for almost 2 years, so have fun. Most netizens don't really think that. she's deserving of sympathy," writing, "Girl, a quick glance at your account. shows that you never, not once, advocated for Gabby. You and your folks. deserve all the backlash and karma that. you're getting for the complete lack of. grace you showed that poor girl's family. during one of the worst things a parent. can go through. Another read simply, read the room. Shut the hell up. It's. not about you. Even the laundry.

neighbors have spoken out, writing, "When I pass their house, I get a sick. feeling in the pit of my stomach. I hate. them. I wish they would just leave our. neighborhood." Others say, "Just. horrible people in my belief. It's. unanimous. Nobody wants anything to do. with them.". Some neighbors report that people still. throw dirty diapers and dog feces into. their yard, which most of the neighbors. seem to have an unspoken pact. You see. something, do nothing, but there are. still crazy nizens. One comment reads, "Gabby and Brian were both crazy. He.

more than she, but they both deserve. their outcome. Also, what parent let. their kids go across the country in a. van at 22 years old, and no parties. foresee a big problem?". Another comment reads, "This is not a. 14-year-old going on a school trip. She's an adult and she's got to make her. own decisions. You know, they respected. her decisions that her parents did. everything to prepare her and she knew. what she was doing. She planned for this. trip and if Brian was not a killer, Gabby would be alive. She would have. great memories of a trip. Like, why are.

they trying to make it Gabby's fault, Gabby's parents' fault?" Yeah, it's so. strange. Other nizens just support the. for whatever reason. They comment, "Why. do people do this? His parents didn't. murder her. They must be an awful shock, too. They lost their son, and they know. everybody hates him. I feel for them.". Some clearly don't even know what's. happening. They're just basking in the. fact that they're as intellectually. stimulated as a bag of carrots. They. comment, "The public are still harassing. these innocent people. It's disgusting.". A better use of time would be asking,

"Why wasn't Gabby arrested after law. enforcement determined she was the. aggressor in Moab? But we're not ready. for that conversation that women can be. abusers." What I will say most people. have some neuropathways still working in. action with majority of comments reading. along the lines of there's a reason that. Brian was the way he was. It's his. parents. Others say yeah everybody. totally you know say if you hate my guts. I'll get new ones. That's a normal thing. to say. No. Roberto Laundry sounds like. a delusional narcissistic creep who. knows that her son was a monster and she.

didn't care. There's no way that she. didn't know that he was abusing Gabby is. what the comment rates. Others say, "I. hope his parents don't live a single day. in peace." Other nizens are just upset. at all the police. Others point out, "If. Brian and his family had been black and. you got a missing person, your son is. the boyfriend of said missing person and. the missing person's car is at your. house. The SWAT team would have raided. the entire home in 10. minutes." Rose says, "I've never felt. something like that before. I think the. worst thing is it's not even loss. It's.

someone being taken. Someone else. decided that they had the right to take. somebody you love out of your life. forever. She says, "Right before I met. Gabby, I was in an abusive relationship. Gabby was the one that convinced me that. I deserve more. I'm choosing to live my. life because it's what Gabby would want. me to do." She says, "I think I'm doing. good. I think she'd be proud. I always. described her as a light. She'll do. everything to bring the light out in. you. And if she can't, she will give you. some of hers." And that is the case of.

Gabby Patito and Brian. Laundry. What are your thoughts on this. case? Make sure to check out the Gabby. Patito Foundation and please stay safe. I will see you in the next one. [Music].
