Gabby Petito’s mother, Nicole Schmidt, has forgiven Brian Laundrie for the death of her daughter, but not his mother, Roberta Laundrie. Speaking at CrimeCon 2024 last week, Nicole addressed both Brian, who died by suicide in 2021, and Roberta.
«I speak for myself when I say, Brian, I forgive you», - Nicole said, citing multiple sources. «I needed to free myself from the chains of anger and cruelty, and I refuse to let your despicable act define the rest of my life».
Nicole then turned to Roberta, explaining why she chose to «address [her] individually».
«As for you, Roberta — and I address you individually because you are clearly the mastermind who destroyed your family and your mind with your evil ways — I see no sympathy in your eyes, no repentance in your heart, and no desire to take responsibility for your actions», - Nicole said.
Nicole added that Roberta is «dark» and «a sociopath that everyone fears».
«The one who seems so innocent and kind, but hides darkness in her soul», - continued Gabby’s mother, concluding: «You do not deserve forgiveness. You deserve to be forgotten and dehumanized. You embody pure evil».
Last year, it was revealed that Roberta had offered her deceased son a shovel and trash bags in a letter that was attached with the note «Burn after reading». The letter was requested by the Petito family after they filed a lawsuit against Roberta and Christopher Laundrie.
«I just want you to remember that I will always love you, and I know you will always love me. You are my boy», - read Roberta’s letter to Brian. «Nothing will make me stop loving you, nothing will separate us, no matter what we do, where we go, or what we say — we will always love each other. If you end up in prison, I will bake you a cake with a saw in it. If you need to get rid of a body, I will come with a shovel and trash bags. If you fly to the moon, I will watch the sky, waiting for your return. If you say you hate me, I will find new guts».
Gabby’s story captured the nation’s attention after she disappeared during her cross-country trip with Brian in the summer of 2021. Her remains were found in Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming in October 2021. A manhunt for Brian ensued until his skeletal remains were found in the Myakkahatchee Environmental Park in Florida.
Ultimately, the FBI released a page from Brian’s notebook in which he admitted to being responsible for Gabby’s death.
