"A review of the notebook revealed written statements by Mr. Laundrie claiming responsibility for Ms. Petito's death," the FBI's Denver Field Office said in a statement released Friday.
Laundrie had been the subject of a weekslong manhunt when his body was found. His family was informed he shot himself in the head, and his death was ruled a suicide, Bertolino said in November. The officers agreed not to charge Petito, who had acknowledged striking Laundrie first, as long as she and Laundrie spent the night apart. The independent investigator found the officers neglected their duty by not pressing charges.
The specific evening leading up to Petito's death remain a mystery. The FBI described Laundrie as a "person of interest" in her murder, but he was not charged in her killing, although he did face charges for allegedly using Petito's debit card without authorization.
Well that solves that mystery!
