“Celebrity Jeopardy!” was harshly criticized for including a clue that referenced Brian Laundrie, the man who allegedly murdered Gabby Petito in the fall of 2021. Laundrie committed suicide weeks after Petito’s body was found, with her strangled in a campground near the Grand Teton mountains. He left a note in which he confessed to killing his longtime girlfriend. “In 2021, fugitive Brian Laundrie ended his days in Fla’s Myakkahatchee Creek area, home to these long & toothy critters,” the “Celebrity Jeopardy!” clue stated, referring to alligators, as actors John Michael Higgins, Wil Wheaton and Joel Kim Booster competed on the...

A Lifetime movie about the death of Gabby Petito is now in production. The film, tentatively titled “The Gabby Petito Story,” has been rumored to be in the works for a while, but recent photos show production underway in Salt Lake City. The film is based on Petito’s murder at the hands of boyfriend Brian Laundrie in Wyoming last year while on a well-documented road trip across the country. The movie is being directed by Thora Birch, who will also play the role of Petito’s mother. The Petito family has not publicly commented on the movie. Attorney reveals Roberta Laundrie...

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. I panicked. I was in shock.”

The lawsuit contends that Christopher and Roberta Laundrie concealed that their son had confessed to the murder from investigators and Petito’s parents while the search for Gabby Petito was ongoing.

Brian Laundrie admitted he killed girlfriend Gabby Petito in a notebook entry he wrote shortly before he took his own life, the FBI revealed Friday in its final report on the case. Laundrie also sent text messages between his and Petito’s cellphone in the days after Petito was strangled to death last summer in an attempt “to deceive law enforcement by giving the impression Ms. Petito was still alive,” the FBI Denver said in its final investigative update on the case. All “logical investigative steps have been concluded in the case,” FBI Denver Division Special Agent in Charge Michael Schneider...

Brian Laundrie, the sole suspect in the death of Long Island native Gabby Petito, died of a gunshot wound to the head, a lawyer for the Laundrie family said Tuesday.

Florida cops who publicly insisted they had eyes on Brian Laundrie amid the Gabby Petito investigation have admitted they actually mistook him — for his mother. “They are built kind of similarly,” North Port Police Department spokesperson Josh Taylor told WINK on Monday regarding the huge blunder in a case that sparked national attention. Police had set up around-the-clock surveillance last month outside the North Port home where Laundrie lived with his parents after the 23-year-old was named the sole person of interest in his girlfriend’s disappearance.

Here’s what Brian Laundrie and Gabby Petito looked like on some of their cross-country road trip stops. These photos might be the last ones Brian and Gabby have taken together during their final road trip stops.

A woman marries a man when she trusts him and expects to have a lifelong relationship with him (and vice versa). If a woman has not reached a level of trust and commitment with a man to make him her husband, she should also not roam around the country with him. When a young woman is murdered, it is often because she is leaving a boyfriend. She is especially at risk if she is far away from family and friends. What I have written would have been considered common sense 60 years ago but is now attached as judgmental or...

Partial human remains were reportedly located in a Florida nature park where authorities have searched for Brian Laundrie, and a medical examiner has responded to the area, in the search for the fugitive wanted in the Gabby Petito case. The discovery of remains comes after some items belonging to Laundrie were found in the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park. Law enforcement sources told NBC News that the remains were found in a section of the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park that had previously been underwater due to heavy rains. A cadaver dog also has been deployed to the scene, CNN reported. A...

For someone trying to elude police, Brian Laundrie seems to be everywhere — at least according to people who claim to have seen the fugitive, who also was allegedly spotted biking along a country road in Florida. TMZ obtained video from a witness who claimed the mystery cyclist — who he says was most likely Laundrie — was seen Oct. 9 near his property in the small town of Dunnellon, some three hours north of the 23-year-old’s home in North Port. The person with a heavy backpack was traveling along a rugged sugar sand path where people rarely venture —...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday said he hopes fugitive Brian Laundrie "is apprehended and brought to justice" if officials find him guilty of a crime. DeSantis' comments came after a press conference in North Port, Florida — where Brian Laundrie lived with his parents and deceased fiancée, Gabby Petito — during which the governor announced a $1.69 million grant for the city to help with job creation. "You know, my view would be, it's a little disappointing that we still don't have this guy's whereabouts," DeSantis said in response to a question about Laundrie from Fox News Miami correspondent...

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The mother of Gabby Petito fired back at comments made Tuesday by the Laundrie family’s attorney concerning the death of her daughter. Attorney Steve Bertolino issued a statement via text, calling Petito’s death a tragedy but doubled down on her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, being only a person of interest in her death.

A laundry basket and a sign reading “Dirty Laundrie come clean” has appeared at a memorial for Gabby Petito outside her fugitive boyfriend’s home in Florida. The display — which includes the sign, a box of detergent, and a bottle of bleach — has stoked outrage online after a photo was posted by Fox News reporter Michael Ruiz. Also in the basket is a can of a Monster energy drink, a reference to the beverage company’s Energy Ultra Gold container Dog the Bounty Hunter came across during his search for Laundrie in a Sunshine State campsite. “That basket does not...

Gabby Petito's cause of death was strangulation, and the manner of death was homicide, Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue just announced at a news conference. Officials previously announced her death was a homicide in preliminary findings. The coroner said that the body had been in the wilderness for three to four weeks before it had been discovered. Blue explained that it took a month to reach a final autopsy because officials were very "exacting" in their examination of the details. He noted that they were also waiting for other specialists to arrive to help with this investigation and for...

Brian Laundrie used Gabby Petito’s bank card in Wyoming just three days after the slain 22-year-old Long Island native was last seen alive, her family’s lawyer said Tuesday. Petito was last spotted at a Wyoming restaurant on Aug 27, while Laundrie, 23, returned home alone in her van on Sept. 1 — and the boyfriend has since gone on the run from the feds. “You can look at his state of mind by his actions,” Petito family attorney Richard Stafford said on the “Dr. Phil” show on CBS-TV. “He ran, he stole her credit card, he used her credit card...
