Brian Laundrie claimed responsibility for killing his fiance Gabby Petito in a notebook that was found near his body, the FBI said Friday, marking the end of a murder investigation that attracted national attention
Memorials for Gabby Petito were set up on the yard at Brian Laundrie’s family home in North Port, Fla., in October.The FBI had issued a federal arrest warrant for Mr. Laundrie. A subsequent manhunt for the 23-year-old, who disappeared not long after Ms. Petito’s parents reported her missing, led investigators to a Florida nature reserve, where his remains were found. The District Twelve Florida Medical Examiner’s Office saidIn its statement Friday, the FBI said Mr.
Steven Bertolino, the attorney for the Laundrie family, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The widespread attention on Ms. Petito’s missing-person’s case and death also sparked debate as many advocates and others said that missing-person cases involving people of color often don’t receive the same consideration.
There were more than 40,000 missing women in the U.S. whose cases were considered active at the end of 2020, according to National Crime Information Center statistics, the country’s central database for tracking crime-related information. Nearly 21,000 missing women were categorized as white, which includes both Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women. Around 14,000 were Black, 927 were Asian and 578 missing women were Native American. The statistics are the closest to a complete picture of missing persons in the U.S., but don’t represent all missing persons since local law-enforcement officials aren’t required to submit missing persons reports for people above the age of 21 to the NCIC database.
