I don't feel that the Unabomber case is a good analogy for this case. In the Unabomber case LE didn't have a person of interest to investigate until after Ted Kaczynski's brother contacted the authorities.

In Gabby's case, BL was an obvious suspect from the very beginning, being he was the last person to be with her. So the two cases are not close at all. JMO.

Right, and the OP wasn't using the Unabomber case as an analogy to the Laundrie case. Just that so much compassion is shown by the killer's family members and none is shown by the killer"s family in the Laundrie case.

The Laundries won't even say they are sorry they ignored all phone, text and SM messages. It is extremely rude to ignore people in this way unless they are solicitors and the like.

BL was an obvious suspect because of his past actions towards Gabby, not just because he was the last person with her.

Knowledge is power and the Unabomber's brother used his power to bring his brother to justice with integrity. He also saved his brother's life by doing this.

Not remotely close. The FBI searched for Kaczynski for more than 20 years. What broke the case was TK's 35,000 word manifesto. Comparing it to a murder/suicide is beyond a stretch of wild imagination.

Regarding the Petito's reaction to the Moab situation, IIRC, GP's mother told the media that it was not unexpected that two people would have some kind of issues travelling together and living in a small van for a long period of time. She wasn't making a big deal out of the Moab situation at that time.


Ah, so then the point that was raised by Bertolino that why not Gabby’s parents call Brain’s parents to discuss Moab as if there was some equivalent to BL calling bout Gabby gone need lawyer is just blown up and used against Gabby's parents?

Yes, why would they call the L’s if they thought it was no big deal?

Nothing point to show disregard for the parents of Gabby. Again.

Yep, Brian Laundrie was a very bad guy. But he's not a party to this lawsuit.

I'm going to pass on more comments about the Unabomber because it's off topic to this thread. JMO.

BL wasn't a suspect. He was listed as a POI but only after GP's remains were found.

Fact do matter.

I think it's more accurate to say BL was an unnamed suspect and also a named person of interest. JMO.

Your right. Brian was definitely a person of interest in her death for multiple reasons.
And yes the UB's brother may have saved his brother's life by speaking up. Such a shame Brian's family failed to get LE help, by doing so it might have saved Brian's life.

But David has said he turned him in because he was worried about future bombings. He didn't do it to help already-bereaved family members or to bring his brother to justice. He was angry the government sought the death penalty and also angry that his identity was leaked by the FBI despite a written agreement that wouldn't happen.

DK was given a million dollar reward but donated it after paying his legal expenses.
I don't see the parallel.

BL was named a POI on Sept 15.

Thanks. Apparently he was a.......

Person of interest in a missing person case.
Person of interest in a murder case.
On Sept 15, as the above link indicates, he was named a POI in the missing person case by North Port police. I believe he was named a POI by the FBI a bit later.

Obviously RL thought Brain was capable of needing a file for a jail break and help with a body or she wouldn’t have written that in her love letter.

I could see emoting I would cross the highest mountains, swim across the deepest seas, but stating she would break him out of jail or help dispose of a body for him wouldn’t cross my mind in any kind of letter to my son.

No wonder Brian saved the letter and kept it with him to the end.

It was his document of salvation for anything he did.

[…]

When Brian Laundrie’s body was found in October 2021, investigators discovered an undated letter from his mother in his backpack enclosed in an envelope that said, “burn after reading,” CNN has reported.

When she decided to write the note, Roberta Laundrie was under the impression Brian and Gabby were just driving up to New York, but she suspected they would be gone for much longer. She and her son had recently had an issue over his traveling, and she was disappointed they would be gone so long, so she wrote it to remind him she would always love him, the mother said.

She said she wrote “burn after reading” as a reference to a book Petito had given her son.

Of course Gabby is the one that gave her the idea of burn after reading because of a book Gabby gave to BL.
The book is a journal “Burn after Writing”
Burn After Writing - by Sharon Jones (Paperback)


Roberta Laundrie says she wants everyone to read the whole letter, bless her heart, she thinks it makes more sense in its entirety:

Why was North Port police involved at all? GP's family tried to file a missing person report with them and it was refused so her parents filed it in NY. And then the NP Chief holds a press conference? smh

Yeah, I can't say. Lots of things the NPPD did made no sense to me. Not only did they mistake a 50-something woman for an early-20s man, they also tried to say BL & GP had moved to NY in June. Regardless, by the time BL was named a POI by them, he had already left the Laundries home and was likely dead. MOO

Yah, I remember from her deposition that she was upset with his traveling because she thought they were going to start saving towards a house.

I read somewhere they were engaged and saving for a house does sound like the direction towards marriage.

If Parties Settle PreTrial? Terms, Confidential or Not?
... But I rather think that a mediation settlement would be confidential, with neither the amount of the settlement (if any) or an apology (if made) disclosed to the public. Both would be confidential, IMO, and there would be an agreement not to disparage one another going forward. The usual legal language of mediated conflicts.
@Sundog. Glad you commented.

Briefly, per info* below as of 2014, if a confidentiality clause is not part of the settlement agreement in FL., the terms are not confidential.

Did not search further. Your info may be more current. IDK.

________________________________
Not so briefly ;) :
* A quote from a Florida mediator firm's website, summarizing an opinion of a Florida Supreme Court Committee.
"In January 2014, the Florida Supreme Court Mediator Ethics Advisory Committee issued an opinion finding that unless the parties have agreed otherwise, written communications included in a mediated agreement that has been signed by all parties and counsel are not confidential. MEAC Opinion 20013-007, January 21, 2014.
"The takeaway? If you want the terms of your agreement to remain confidential, you better put it in the settlement agreement. Waiting until the release is drafted to address confidentiality may be too late, as your opposition is free to disclose whatever is in the settlement agreement."
