Brian Laundrie update – 7 wildest claims Gabby’s fiancé is ALIVE from ‘sipping margaritas in Mexico’ to removing teeth

INTERNET sleuths continue to wildly claim that Brian Laundrie is alive – even though it has been a month since cops found his remains in the Florida wilderness.

Some "armchair detectives" speculated that Laundrie is drinking cocktails in Mexico, while others bizarrely claimed that his teeth were implanted onto another body.

The 23-year-old was reported missing on September 17 by his parents Chris and Roberta – days after allegedly telling them that he was going for a hike in the alligator-infested Carlton Reserve.

A month later, cops managed to positively identify the remains as belonging to Laundrie through his dental records, and the bones are being examined by an anthropologist.

Online sleuths speculated that Gabby Petito’s fiancé may be drinking cocktails in Mexico.

One Facebook user said: “He is probably in Mexico sipping on a margarita.”

There was no evidence to suggest that Laundrie was in Mexico at any time during the search.

Twisted internet sleuths wildly claimed that Laundrie’s teeth were taken out and implanted into another body to “fake his own death”. There is no evidence at all to support this baseless claim.

Users from a Facebook discussion group dedicated to the Gabby Petito case shared strange pictures of a partially toothless Brian, warning "here's what he looks like now."

One posted pictures of Brian with missing teeth edited on, writing: "Dental records confirmed the partial remains found belonged to Brian Laundrie.

"Finding his teeth does not confirm he is deceased. He could be faking his own death."

During the extensive search for Laundrie, online sleuths claimed they spotted the 23-year-old “updating” his social media profiles.

They claimed he created a Spotify playlist titled "Selfconsomption" shortly after Gabby vanished.

BASELESS THEORIES

Online sleuths alleged that its name was changed to 'Nomadic Statik' - which is the name of the travel YouTube channel which Brian and Gabby created.

Another claim is that Gabby's fiancé has been unfollowing accounts on Instagram as the number of people he is following has decreased.

A web sleuth even claimed that Laundrie “logged” onto his emails after his remains were found.

A screengrab from the site Epieos appears to show that a Gmail account believed to belong to the 23-year-old was “updated” on October 30.

SOCIAL MEDIA 'UPDATES'

There is no evidence to support claims that Laundrie was active on his emails.

Last month blogger Shaynah Dodge alleged Laundrie followed more people on what’s believed to be his Pinterest page,  reports.
