Summary

This remastered series is to honour Gabby and ensure the warning signs of coercive control are understood. It’s the difference between life and death for so many. Determined to decode the patterns of coercive control and escalating risk, Laura deconstructs the behaviours that were visible - but too often minimised or misunderstood - with forensic precision. Join Laura for this remastered investigative series which provides news updates in the case regarding the Utah Supreme Court oral argument in the wrongful death lawsuit appeal, deeper analysis and vital learning to help prevent future harm. *** Laura has taken the decision to interrupt the Gabby Petito series to share her preliminary analyses and deconstruction of the confession letter written by Brian Laundrie, which was published on Friday 24th June. The publication of Brian Laundrie’s notebook and so-called confession is huge. The timing of it being published and the contents are fascinating. The notebook was found in Brian’s drybag by his father, Christopher Laundrie, on October 20 2021. It was released to the media by Steve Bertolino on behalf of the Laundries on Friday, following a meeting with the FBI at the Tampa Field Office. You won’t want to miss this. Listener discretion is advised. It is not an easy listen but it is an important episode.
