Brian Laundrie sleuths claim Gabby Petito fiance left hidden note at home before shooting himself in suicide
ONLINE sleuths have claimed that Gabby Petito's fiancé Brian Laundrie left a hidden note at home before he shot himself.
An autopsy on Laundrie confirmed that the 23-year-old had died by suicide after his remains were found in the wilderness in Florida.
Eight days after Gabby was last seen alive, Laundrie returned to his home in Florida without his fiancée.
While at home he hired an attorney and refused to cooperate with police.
But on September 13, Laundrie's parents claimed their son had left home to go hiking in Carlton Reserve in Florida.
And now armchair detectives believe that Laundrie left a note hidden before vanishing.
One sleuth claimed: "I think he possibly would have left a note at home...
Another wrote: "I hope he left a note in the notebook and they are able to decipher it."

A third said: "He didn't just go 'missing'."
The Laundrie's attorney Steven Bertolino did not reveal where the gun Brian used to kill himself came from, or if it has been located by police.
When asked about the weapon used by Brian, he told The Sun: "Not certain."
Online sleuths obsessed with the case have long theorized about the flowerbed in the Laundries' backyard.
They wildly speculated that Gabby Petito's fiancé was hiding in a Doomsday bunker under the flowerbed after "drone footage appeared to show suspicious movements".
Others also wildly claimed they spotted a water bottle in his parents' garden that matched one found near his remains.
Detectives told the Laundrie family on October 21 that his remains were found in an alligator-infested area of Florida the previous day.
His remains were discovered near a notebook and backpack belonging to him.
Laundrie was the only person of interest in the murder of Gabby, who was found strangled to death in Wyoming in September.
