Brian Laundrie update – Ex-FBI agent thinks Gabby Petito’s fiance ‘may have had help with suicide’ as autopsy released
AN EX-FBI agent has weighed in on the results of Brian Laundrie's autopsy and believes evidence shows he may have had help with committing suicide.
An autopsy confirmed that Brian died by suicide, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Former FBI Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer told Radar she was startled by the report as it said that Laundrie shot himself on the left side of his head.
She described this part as bothersome because it “doesn’t fit with a right-handed person committing suicide with their off hand”.
She believes there are various possibilities that could explain this from the idea that Laundrie could have been ambidextrous to suggesting he could have been assisted in his suicide by a third party, according to the report.
“To me, the case doesn’t end because it ends with a question mark," she continued.
"How or why did he use his non-dominant hand to shoot himself,” Coffindaffer told Radar.
She said the best chance the public would have to see any evidence of the case would be if Gabby Petito’s next of kind held a civil case against Brian’s family and estate.
Brian and Gabby went on a cross-country road trip last year, but Gabby never returned home.
Their case drew worldwide attention. She was last seen on August 24, 2021 in Utah and her body was found on September 19 in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
The cause of her death was revealed to be strangulation.
Brian's body was found at the Carlton Reserve in October.
The FBI reportedly found a notebook near his remains that included a written confession that Brian, 23, had killed Gabby, 22.
