An attorney representing the parents of
Gabby Petito, the Long Island woman who died on a cross-country trip with her fiancé
Brian Laundrie last year, said Tuesday to expect another confession with a different scenario in the near future.
The comments from lawyer Pat Reilly come in response to questions posed to the Petito family about the
release of contents from Laundrie's notebook, which was recovered along with his body in the swampy Florida preserve where authorities say he is believed to have taken his own life amid a multi-state manhunt in October.

According to Reilly, Bertolino allegedly cherry-picked certain parts of the notebook to share "to garner sympathy for Brian Laundrie and his parents."
"The words of that notebook lack contrition and contain a false narrative of the circumstances of Gabby's passing," Reilly said. "We expect in the near future that at least one other confession with a different scenario will be released."

As for the letter Roberta Laundrie sent to Brian Laundrie, Reilly says Bertolino wouldn't provide the Petito family with a copy. While the letter is undated, Reilly says it appears to have been written after Petito's death but before Laundrie's, which the attorney says shows Roberta Laundrie had prior knowledge of Petito's killing.

And it certainly tells a story. Laundrie writes he decided to end Petito's life after she allegedly suffered some kind of injury while the two were camping at night. The 23-year-old writes about trying to keep her warm and awake while Petito was in "extreme" pain, but his entries don't reference any effort to find her medical help.
