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.”
As cops tried to find Laundrie, sleuths speculated about his potential whereabouts.
During the search, "internet detectives" shared an image that they claimed showed Laundrie at a restaurant in Mexico.
There was no evidence to suggest that Laundrie was in Mexico at any time during the search.
The remains were positively identified as belonging to Laundrie through his dental records, sparking speculation that he may have had "implants" fitted.
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.
However, this could be explained by other accounts blocking him or private accounts unfollowing him.
Online detectives also claimed that Laundrie had a burner phone because of alleged changes to his Spotify and Instagram accounts.
A source told that Brian purchased a phone at the AT&T store on September 14 with an "older woman."
In a statement to The Sun, the store said: "We're not confirming or denying anything, and we're not making any statements, thank you, and have a
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.
'NO BUZZARDS, NO BODY'
"Anything dead you find in the woods, you’re gonna look up, you’re gonna see buzzards flying like crazy.
“No buzzards, no body is my theory. And I haven’t seen any buzzards flying.”
This prompted online sleuths to speculate that he may have been hiding in a “crawl space” beneath his parents' home.
Laundrie’s remains were positively identified – a month after Gabby's were identified.

Petito’s cause of death was strangulation while Laundrie’s currently remains unknown as an autopsy came back inconclusive.
Web sleuths have speculated that the 23-year-old may have been eaten after “alligator bones” were apparently found near to where cops unearthed the remains.
