Maine police published updated photographs Monday as they continue to beg the public for information or sightings of a missing mom, her ex, and their 2-year-old daughter, who went missing about three weeks ago.

An ex-FBI agent has chimed in on Brian Laundrie's postmortem findings, claiming that evidence suggests he may have received assistance in committing suicide.

Brian died after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to an autopsy. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer told Radar that the report surprised her because it stated that Laundrie shot himself in the head on the left side. She found this portion to be inconvenient because it "doesn't fit with a right-handed person committing suicide with their off-hand."

Ex-FBI Agent Believes a Third Party Is Involved in Brian Laundrie's Death

According to the study, she feels there are a variety of explanations for this, ranging from the possibility that Laundrie was ambidextrous to the potential that he was assisted in his suicide by a third party.

Gabby Petito's next of kin filing a legal complaint against Brian's family and estate would be the best chance for the public to view any evidence of the case, she said. Last year, Brian and Gabby took a cross-country road trip, but Gabby Petito never returned.

Their case made headlines around the world. She was last seen in Utah on August 24, 2021, and her body was discovered on September 19 in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. Strangulation was determined to be the cause of her death. In October, Brian Laundrie's body was discovered near the Carlton Reserve. According to reports, the FBI discovered a notepad near his body that had a written confession that Brian Laundrie had murdered Gabby Petito, according to The Sun.

On September 1, Laundrie returned to Florida without Petito. On September 15, he was named a person of interest in her disappearance, but he vanished two days later. On September 19, Petito was discovered strangled to death at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

She had been dead for three to four weeks before her body was discovered, according to authorities. Laundrie, 23, may have been ambidextrous, or someone might have assisted him in killing himself, according to Coffindaffer.

Coffindaffer specialized in gangs, narcotics, organized crime, Title-III electronic monitoring, and counterintelligence investigations during her time at the FBI.

She went on to say that, if Petito's family sues Laundrie's family and estate, the public will have the best chance of viewing any evidence from the case. Laundrie's autopsy found that after shooting himself in the head, the fugitive's body was "scavenged" and eaten by wild animals before being recovered in a Florida swamp after a six-week manhunt.

Bothersome Details of Brian Laundrie's Death Emerged

When authorities ultimately tracked down Gabby Petito's killer, practically all that was left were visible skeletal human remains spread on top of the dirt ground in plain sight. Laundrie's body had been subjected to somewhat significant carnivore activity, as demonstrated by many gouging and bite marks on his body, according to the 47-page dossier.

Aside from the notebook, many other items were discovered in a "drybag" alongside Laundrie's remains, which were discovered near his parents' North Port home, including a wooden box containing the journal and several photographs. The skeletal remains and personal possessions were both visible and dispersed on the dirt ground, according to the report.

One of the photos was of Laundrie. It's unclear what the other photographs revealed. As police feverishly looked for Laundrie as the principal "person of interest" in the disappearance of Petito, the investigation verified that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Authorities retrieved a pair of green shorts, shoes, a ring, a rucksack, and a revolver from what was left of the savaged remains, which was partly hidden by thick grass, according to the bombshell document.

Authorities also discovered animal skeleton remains near Laundrie's body at a nearby secondary' site, indicating that the self-professed killer had been hunting before his death.

When they were pulled over by police for a domestic incident on August 12 - about two weeks before Petito was killed - they discovered an incomplete, handwritten note at the secondary site, but did not elaborate on its contents, as well as a 'MOAB Coffee Roasters' hat belonging to Laundrie, which advertised the same Utah coffee shop, Daily Mail reported.
