Gabby Petito: Boyfriend of blogger 'responsible' for her murder

21 January 2022

The boyfriend of killed blogger Gabby Petito "admitted responsibility" for her murder in a journal found with his body, according to the FBI.

Brian Laundrie, 23, shot himself after Petito was found in September strangled in a Wyoming campground. The couple had been on a cross-country road trip.

Laundrie's body was found in a Florida nature preserve near his parents' home on 20 October.

The murder of Petito, 22, drew national media attention.

"The investigation did not identify any other individuals other than Brian Laundrie directly involved in the tragic death of Gabby Petito," FBI Denver Division Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider said in a statement on Friday.

About the two other young ladies who were murdered right around that same time and in the same area. The last article I read, which was a couple of months ago, they didn't seem to think the two crimes were related. Yet you have to wonder since Brian and Gabby were in the same area and actually at the same store one of the victims worked at.
