Gabby Petitos parents have received a copy of a letter that Brian Laundries mother wrote to her son promising to do anything for him including helping bury a body. And the Petito family is describing it as a potential source of evidence in their lawsuit against the Laundries.

The letter was released Thursday, a day after a hearing on whether the letter could be evidence that the Laundries knew Gabby had been killed in the weeks following her disappearance and hid that information while helping their son evade authorities. Judge Danielle Brewer on Wednesday denied the Laundries motion seeking to withhold the letter, which their attorney had argued was private communication written months before Gabbys death and irrelevant to the case.

The attorney representing Joseph Petito and Nichole Schmidt, Petitos parents, previously called the letter potentially damning evidence and said it should be up to a jury to decide when the undated document was written.

As we all know the letter references burying a body bringing a shovel and burying a body, attorney Patrick Reilly said at Wednesdays hearing. Those are criminal acts, by the way, that Roberta Laundrie has said she would commit.
