Brian and I shared a love of stories and some of the language in the letter was using similar phrases to describe the depth of a mother’s love.” “Brian and I always had a very open and communicative relationship and in the months prior to the trip our relationship had become strained. “The purpose of the letter was to reach out to Brian while he and I were experiencing a difficult period in our relationship,” Laundrie wrote. Laundrie, in her letter to the court, said the note to her son was an attempt to repair their “strained” relationship. Steven Bertolino, the longtime family attorney for the Laundries who is seeking to be removed as a co-defendant in the lawsuit, has previously said the “burn after reading” letter Laundrie wrote to her son was “personal” between a mother and her son. “In short, I was trying to connect with Brian and repair our relationship as he was planning to leave home, and I had hoped this letter would remind him how much I loved him,” she said.

She says she and her son shared a love for books such as “The Runaway Bunny” and “Little Bear.” She claims one such book, “Burn After Writing,” was often the subject of a joke between her, her son and Gabby Petito and is the reason she wrote “burn after reading” on the envelope that contained the letter to her son. “Although I do not know the exact date I wrote the letter, I do know that I wrote it and gave it to Brian before Brian and Gabby left Florida for New York which was on June 2, 2021,” said Roberta Laundrie. In support of the motion against the letter becoming public, Laundrie wrote a letter to the court claiming the “burn after reading” letter was written months before Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie left on their cross-country road trip in the summer of 2021. ‘Burn after reading’: Everything we know about the letter Brian Laundrie’s mom wrote
