The "burn after reading" letter sent by Roberta Laundrie to her son, Brian, is deeply troubling, not just for its eerie phrasing but for what it suggests about the Laundrie family's attitude toward accountability. While Roberta has insisted that the letter was written well before Gabby Petito's murder and was merely an inside joke, the specific wording—offering to "dispose of a body" and referencing prison breaks—cannot be brushed off as lighthearted banter. The fact that she felt the need to explicitly write “burn after reading” implies she knew the contents were incriminating, or at the very least, inappropriate. If this was truly a harmless letter meant to cheer up Brian, why include such dark imagery? Even if taken at face value, it reveals a level of enabling and coddling that raises serious ethical concerns. It’s one thing to love your child unconditionally; it’s another to imply, even jokingly, that you would cover up a crime for them.
Beyond the letter itself, the Laundries' behavior in the aftermath of Gabby Petito’s murder only adds to the suspicion surrounding them. Their lack of cooperation with law enforcement, refusal to communicate with Petito’s grieving family, and overall secrecy cast a dark shadow over their credibility. If Roberta’s letter was truly innocent, why did they fight so hard in court to keep it from being released? Their actions suggest a pattern of protecting Brian at all costs rather than standing on the side of justice. Whether or not the letter was written before Gabby’s death, the language used and the family's subsequent behavior make it difficult to believe that it was purely an unfortunate coincidence. It speaks to a broader issue of misplaced loyalty, where shielding a son from consequences takes precedence over doing what is morally right.
in this episode, we get a look at that letter.
