Laundrie, 23, disappeared around September 15th from North Port, FL. He was the only suspect in the disappearance of Gabby Petito.
His body was found October 20 along with the confession notebook. For more than a month authorities searched a 24,000-acre Florida nature reserve. And it was confirmed in November Laundrie died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
“A review of the notebook revealed written statements by Mr. Laundrie claiming responsibility for Ms. Petito’s death,” the FBI said in a statement.
Laundrie family issues statement
The Petito family had previously filed to get Gabby Petito’s belongings. And they asked for items in the Laundrie family home and/or in FBI custody.
The parents of Brian Laundrie have been trying to reclaim items from the FBI. And one of these items is the confession notebook.
Steven Bertolino, attorney for the Laundrie family, issued a statement Friday. “Gabby and Brian are no longer with their families and this tragedy has caused enormous emotional pain and suffering to all who loved either or both of them,” Bertolino said.
