Brian Laundrie made chilling final wish to be ‘torn apart by animals’ in notebook confession before ‘chewed’ bones found
BRIAN Laundrie's alleged notebook confession has reportedly revealed he wished for his dead body to be "torn apart by animals."
The alleged note was written before his "chewed" skeletal remains were found in a Florida nature reserve after he died by suicide last October.
Laundrie made the alleged shocking admissions and claims in one of his notebooks, which was recovered by the FBI by his body in Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park on October 20, 2021.
The boyfriend of Gabby Petito allegedly wrote that he wished for a brutal ending before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
"I have killed myself by this creek in the hopes that animal may tear me apart. That it may make some of her family happy," Laundrie wrote in the journal.
After Laundrie had been seen with multiple notebooks, the Laundrie family attorney Steven Bertolino released the shock journal last Friday once they received it from the FBI.

Brian's prophecy was allegedly fulfilled after an ex-detective exclusively told The Sun his skeletal remains recovered in Florida nature were likely snacked on by alligators and other creatures.
Tom Joyce, a retired NYPD commander, told The Sun that the remains have likely suffered "a lot of post-mortem predation."
"If the remains are skeletal, that means the tissue has been pulled away from the bones," Joyce said.
"Most likely by alligators, crabs, fish, and stuff like that.
"That's what is sounds like to me because it's definitely not long enough time for it to go naturally."

He added: "If it's only a three to four week period and there are only skeletal remains and very limited tissue remaining, I would have to say there's a lot of activity that pulls all the skin and flesh and muscle and stuff away."
Laundrie also revealed in the alleged journal that he was actually considering having two people kill him.
"I wanted to drive north and let James or TJ kill me but I wouldn't want them to spend time in jail over my mistake, even though I'm sure they would have liked to," it read.
These are only a few of several shocking confessions Laundrie made in the released journal.
The killer also issued a written apology to Gabby's family in his notebook.
"I'm so very sorry to her family because I love them," the journal said.
"I consider her younger siblings my best of friends."
Gabby's remains were discovered in Grand Teton National Park on September 21, 2021.
On October 12, 2021, Teton County Coroner Dr Brent Blue confirmed Gabby died by strangulation.
Laundrie even made a note asking for his things to be picked up because of Gabby's dislike for litter.
"Please pick up all of my things. Gabby hated people who litter," he wrote.
He also apologized to his family in the notebook.

"I am sorry to my family. This is a shock to them as well as terrible grief. They loved as much, if not more than me.
"A new daughter to my mother, an aunt to my nephews (sic).
Please do not make this harder for them. This occurred as an unexpected tragedy," Laundrie is believed to have written.
