Nearly two years after the murder of Gabby Petito, an undated letter from Brian Laundrie’s mother, Roberta Laundrie, revealed that she would help her son dispose of a body.
“Burn after reading” was written on the envelope the letter was in.
The letter in question is now being used as evidence against the Laundrie family, with the Petito family further pushing their claim that Brian’s parents knew about Gabby’s death before she was reported missing.

In a statement released by the Laundrie’s family attorney, Steven Bertolino, Roberta argued that the letter was “in no way related to Gabby,” and that she only meant to communicate with him “during a difficult period in [their] relationship.”
“I truly loved my son,” she said. “And simply wanted to convey to him how much he meant to me and how much I loved him.

The relationship between mothers and their gay sons is a longstanding theme of queer cinema, usually of the suffocating, jealousy-ridden, Freudian kind. That’s a trope filmmaker Mike Roma would like to upend. Hence the idea for his feature debut, “Dating My Mother,” a heartfelt comedy with a fresh take on the mother/gay son relationship.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the bond between mothers and their gay sons, but I’ve never seen a relationship quite like my own depicted onscreen,” said Roma. “Typically, gay men have been portrayed as deviant, weak, or dangerous, while their mothers have been castrating, icy, or evil. I wanted to break these stereotypes and show that a mother and son can be close without being Oedipal.”
