THE REMAINS of Brian Laundrie were found in October of 2021, after a lengthy search following the death of Gabby Petito.

After his death was declared a suicide, internet users began circulating a note – likely to be faked – claiming it was from Laundrie's personal belongings.

What did the alleged Brian Laundrie 'suicide note' say?

Following the discovery of Brian Laundrie's remains on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, internet users began sharing personal theories on how and when the former fugitive died.

An unverified 'suicide note' began circulating online, alleged by internet users to have been written by Laundrie himself.

There is no certifiable proof of where the note came from, or as to who actually wrote it – officials have not commented on the note.

In the alleged 'suicide note' the author wrote: "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for everything that has happened.

"I never intended for any of this. Gabby and I were truly in love and I would give anything for her to still be here."

The note continued: "I know that no one will understand that things simply got out of control.

"The strain of our relationship was more than I could bear. I should have known to stay home after what happened… everything was already a disaster at that point but something made me return.

"Once Gabby was gone forever I realized that I was too," the note continued.

"Please forgive me for all that has happened and everything I have put everyone through.

"I was too ashamed to tell Gabby's family what happened to her. I was too ashamed to tell anyone."

The note concluded: "I hope someday people can understand what really happened. Until we meet again someday I love you forever… B."

No evidence connecting the alleged note to Brian Laundrie has been reported by officials.

How did Brian Laundrie die?

Laundrie's death was ruled a suicide.

The Gabby Petito case drew national attention in 2021 after Petito was reported missing.

In January of 2022, the FBI released a final update on their investigation which stated that it did "not identify any other individuals other than Brian Laundrie directly involved in the tragic death of Gabby Petito."

"The FBI's primary focus throughout the investigation was to bring justice to Gabby and her family," said FBI Denver Division Special Agent in Charge, Michael Schneider.

He continued: "The public's role in helping us in this endeavor was invaluable as the investigation was covered in the media around the world.

"On behalf of the FBI, I want to express my deepest appreciation to the public for the thousands of tips that were provided during the investigation, and to our local, state and federal law enforcement partners for their work throughout the investigation."

When was Brian Laundrie found?

The search for Laundrie ended on Wednesday, October 20, 2021.

Dental records proved the remains found in the Carlton Reserve belonged to those of Laundrie.

Along with skeletal remains, a backpack was found with a notebook inside.

Tom Joyce, a retired NYPD commander, shared his thoughts on the skeletal remains.

"If the remains are skeletal, that means the tissue has been pulled away from the bones," he said.

"Most likely by alligators, crabs, fish and stuff like that.

"That's what it sounds like to me because it's definitely not long enough time for it to go naturally.

"If it's only a three to four week period and there are only skeletal remains and very limited tissue remaining, I would have to say there's a lot of activity that pulls all the skin and flesh and muscle and stuff away."

When did Brian Laundrie go missing?

Brian Laundrie was officially reported missing by his parents on September 17, 2021.

However, it was later made available that the last time his parents saw him was actually September 13.

On the 15th of September, Laundrie was officially named a person of interest in the case of Gabby Petito, who was still missing at the time.

A few days later, on September 19, police revealed that they found a body in Grand Teton National Park that they believed belonged to Gabby Petito.

A full forensic identification later proved the body to be hers.

The search for Laundrie continued for over a month.
