  Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Hi, guys, Nancy Grace here,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and the last days, we've been hearing a lot of developments,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, in the Gabby Petito murder case.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: That's right. We know Brian Laundry committed suicide in the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Carlton Reserve, basically twenty five thousand acres of swampland in Florida,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: giving a detailed, very self beneficial admission in a notebook
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: where he wrote down his let me just say thoughts
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and feelings. Well that said. In the last days, a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: so called burn letter has emerged, a letter purportedly written
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: by Brian Laundry's mother to him offering to bring a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: shovel to bury a body, words to that effect, offering
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to get him out of prison, words to that effect,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and on the outside of the envelope studying Burne after
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: reading not only that, multiple lawsuits flying and they are
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: heart breaking. You know, you can read a lot of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: news reports and hear a lot of reporters talking about it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But let's take a thorough examination at exactly what has
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: been filed by Gabby's family against not only the Moab
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: police department who treated her. Gabby is the aggressor. This
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: after a selfie emerge is taken before the Moab police
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: pulled them over, where she was battered and bruised, bleeding
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and crying having been beaten by Brian Laundry. Yet they
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the police accused her of being the aggressor. A lawsuit
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: relating to that and a lawsuit relating to the so
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: called burn letter. Take a listen to this, Gabby. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: wish I was right at your side. I wish I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: could be talking to you right now, I'd be going
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: through every memory we've made, getting even more excited for
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the future. I can't live without you. I've lost every
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: day we could have spent together, every holiday. I'll never
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: get to play with Unintelligible again, never go hiking with TJ.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I loved you more than anything. I can't bear to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: look at our photos to recall great times, because it
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: is why I cannot go on. When I close my eyes,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I will think of laying on the roof of the van,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: falling asleep to the side of a meteor shower at
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Crystal geysers. I will always love you. If you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: were reading Gab's journal, looking at the photos from our
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: life together, flipping through old cards. You wouldn't want to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: live a day without her. Knowing that every day you'll
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: wake up without her, you wouldn't want to wake up.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to everyone this will affect. Gabby was the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: love of my life, but I know adored by many.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'm so very sorry to her family because I love them.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I'd consider her younger siblings my best of friends. I'm
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: sorry to my family. This is a shock to them,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: as well as the terrible grief. They've loved as much,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: if not more than me. A knew daughter to my
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: mother and aunt to my nephews. Please do not make
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: this harder for them. This occurred as an unexpected tragedy.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Rushing back to our car, trying to cross the streams
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of Spread Creek before it got too dark to see
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and too cold, I hear a splash and a scream.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I could barely see. I couldn't find her for a moment.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I shouted her name. I found her, breathing heavily, gasping
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: my name. She was freezing cold. We had just come
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: from the blazing hot national Parks in Utah. The temperatures
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: had dropped to freezing and she was king wet. I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: carried her as far as I could down the stream
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: towards the car, stumbling, exhausted and shocked. When my knees
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: buckled and knew I couldn't safely carry her, I started
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a fire and spooned her as close to the heat.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: She was so thin, had already been freezing too long.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I couldn't at the time realize that I should have
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: started a fire first, but I wanted her out of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the cold, back to the car from where I started
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the fire. I had no idea how far the car
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: might be, only knew it was across the creek. When
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I pulled Gabby out of the water, she couldn't tell
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: me what hurt. She had a small bump on her
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: forehead that eventually got larger. Her feet hurt, her wrist hurt,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: but she was freezing, shaking violently. While carrying her, she
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: continually made sounds of pain. Laying next to her, she
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: said little lapsing between violent shakes, gasping in pain, begging
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for an end to her pain. She would fall asleep
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and I would shake her awake, fearing she shouldn't close
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: her eyes. If she had a concussion, she would wake
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in pain. Start the whole painful cycle again, while furious
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that I was the one waking her. She wouldn't let
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: me try to cross the creek, thought like me that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: this fire would go out in her sleep and she'd freeze.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know the extent of Gabby's injuries, only that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: she was in extreme pain. I ended her life. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: thought it was merciful, that it was what she wanted.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But I see now all the mistakes I made. I panicked,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I was in shock, but from the moment I decided
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: took away her pain, I knew I couldn't go on
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: without her. I rushed home to spend any time I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: had left with my family. I wanted to drive north
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and let James or t J kill me, but I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want them to spend time in jail over my mistake,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: even though I'm sure they would have liked to. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: am ending my life not because of a fear of punishment,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: but rather because I can't stand to live another day
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: without her. I've lost our whole future together, every moment
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: we could have cherished. I'm sorry for everyone's loss. Please
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: do not make life harder for my family. They've lost
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a son and a daughter. The most wonderful girl in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the world. Gabby, I'm sorry. I've killed myself by this
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: creek in the hopes that animals may tear me apart
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that it may make some of her family happy. Please
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: pick up all of my things. Yeah, I be hated
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: people who litter, and there you haven't. Thanks Dave Matt
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: from crime Online. We wait as justice Unfoalds Nancy Grace
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: signing off, goodbye friend.
