Brian Laundrie admitted to killing girlfriend Gabby Petito in a notebook left in the Florida swamp where he committed suicide — but Laundrie insisted it was an act of “mercy,” according to a report Friday. “I ended her life,” he proclaims in the note, which was recovered by the FBI in October, according to Fox News. “I thought it was merciful, that it is what she wanted, but I see now all the mistakes I made.
