Brian Laundrie sleuths think leg floating near Florida park where Dog the Bounty Hunter hunted belongs to Gabby’s fiance

BRIAN Laundrie sleuths believe a leg found floating in Tampa possibly belonged to the 23-year-old.

The leg was found in McKay Bay by a kayaker. A dive team has entered the scene to find more remains.

“We don’t know if this is a partial leg or a fully-intact leg,” said WFLA Now Anchor, JB Biunno. “We just know it is a human leg.”

Biunno also said that the location of the leg was "nowhere near" Fort De Soto where a gun was fished out of the water last month in an area where Laundrie frequented with his family.

Police are currently conducting an investigation.

Cops told The Sun: "It has not been determined whether the leg belonged to a male or female. Additional information will be released when it becomes available"

There is no evidence that shows any connection between the leg found in the bay to Laundrie but some people have speculated that it may be him.

A Facebook user wrote: "Oh my, wonder if it's Brian's." Another wrote: "Brian, is that you?"

The remains of Brian Laundrie, the fiancé of vlogger, Gabby Petito, were found on October 20 near the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in Florida.

The state of Laundrie’s remains is unknown and investigators still don’t know how he died as an autopsy proved inconclusive. 

Laundrie’s mysterious disappearance after Gabby’s death via strangulation and then Laundrie’s own death has sparked much speculation on the internet.

Sleuths have theorized how Laundrie died with many believing that he may have been eaten by animals, a popular theory also posed by Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Laundrie was named a person of interest in Gabby’s death and disappearance.

Gabby’s remains were found near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming just a month before Laundrie’s remains were found. 

His remains have been sent to an anthropologist for further examination.
