Laundrie was described as a person of interest on September 15 by police after he returned home to Florida on his own as he was the last person to have seen Gabby before she disappeared.
In the notebook that was found with Laundrie’s body, a letter was found where he took responsibility for Gabby’s death.
Gabby's parents sued Laundrie's parents and their attorney for pain and emotional distress — they believed the Laundries withheld information regarding Petito's death.
Before this, on August 12, 2021, a witness called the police to report that a couple, later identified as Gabby and Laundrie, were seen fighting in Utah.
Gabby Petito was a 22-year-old woman who went on a trip around America with her boyfriend Brian Laundrie.
