Brian Laundrie's Mom Explains 'Burn After Reading' Letter

Brian Laundrie's mom, Roberta, wrote him a letter offering to bring a shovel to help him bury the body. She says she sent it before Brian and Gabby Petito left Florida as a way of letting her son know he could come to her for anything.

The fact that the dirty Laundries didn’t show the most basic humanity to the family of a young woman who they claimed to love like a daughter shows their true soul … they have black souls and no heart whatsoever ☹️🤬

[realpocahontas]

My ex’s mom was a total Roberta. She worked at our local jail and her son which was my boyfriend at the time was constantly being arrested for assaulting people while he was drinking, drunk driving, disturbing the peace, you name it he was doing it every single time the police would be called or his name and across the scanner here comes his mother to bail him out. She was friends with all of the sheriffs and officers and they would release him to her and she would take him home and that would be the end of it. He was abusing me and she stuck by him through the trail and everything. Some mothers are just monsters and enablers!

[ceciliac]

Brian’s parents know more than they led us on. Disgusting.

[Maria-khbd]

What mother writes that type of letter to her son 🤬😡

[wyomingadventures]

Really think Roberta and Chris knew what Brian did before he left Wyoming. They were wrong trying to protect him. They were terrible to Gabby's family. I don't blame them for being hurt and mad at the Laundries. They aren't called Dirty Laundries for no reason. Shame on the Laundries!

[elakay]

The parents may not have Murdered Gabby but they helped by not turning Brian in, letting him flee when they should have told him to give him self up. Question why he went home and left Gabby in a Hotel. That young beautiful woman would probably be alive today.
Gabby's parents have every right doing what their doing.

[eternity]

People ask why the Gabby Petito got so big. It was because of the outrageous behavior of Brian's parents. Nobody could believe that they refused to communicate with Gabby's parents when their little girl was missing. No rational, feeling person could comprehend such behavior

[manchitas]

This trial will prove that Bertolino was the worst thing that happened to the Laundries. Legal is legal but moral is moral

[amandaowens]

If she wrote that letter before they left, then it was premeditated .

[coffissa]

Wow! My heart goes out to Gabby's family.

[lisamarie]

Every time I see Gabby in that video, my stomach drops, my heart breaks with having a daughter myself I cannot imagine what her parents are going through. 💔

[katkaunert]

the fact that brians mom is LYING about what is in the letter still blows my mind. how is she gonna act like it was innocent when it said burn after reading like WHAT

[debramcclain]

I believe that if the Laundrie's had done the right thing from the start that Brian would still be alive. Probably in prison but still alive. Doing the right thing isn't always easy but things tend to turn out somewhat better.

[LM]

Nothing will bring Gabby back but I hope the Laundrie family is held accountable for their part in this case.

[rkgsd]

The Laundries are the definition of dirty laundry!

[terrioestreich]

Has anyone else ever noticed that if a mother doesn't like her son's partner or wife, and she denigrates this girl to her son, he also seems to denigrate the her and in different cases, murders her. I think of this case, the Chris Watts case, and maybe a few more that I can't think of right now!

[spiritmoonintuitive]

The Laundries' knew everything and aided and abeted Brian the whole time, imo. They hid all they knew from the Petito's / Schmidt's. I hope the Laundries' pay dearly for what Brian did and for their part!

[Jammn]

What if it was the Petitos withholding information about Brian if he was missing and Gabby was alive? Would they be upset that the Petitos wouldn’t give them any info? Brian’s mom is just trying to justify why sha wrote the letter…..bologna!!

[Jammn]

Is I’ll bring a shovel” in the kids books she mentioned? Sheesh!

[shermikascutchings]

But they didn't remain silent. They lied and told a false statement. Which was delivered by their attorney.
