Gabby Petito’s heartbreaking love letter to killer Brian Laundrie released

globalnews.ca:

Before she was strangled to death by her boyfriend, Gabby Petito wrote a heartbreaking letter to Brian Laundrie, her future killer, expressing her love for him and pleading with him to stop calling her names.

The letter, released recently by the FBI, was one of hundreds of never-before-seen documents relating to the sensational case that gripped North America back in 2021.

She also promised to help him work on the van when she returned from New York, which could be a reference to the van the couple used to tour the country in the weeks before Petito went missing and was eventually discovered dead.
