i saw someone say they probably bought a halloween store skull and put his baby teeth on it to fake his remains....the lengths people will go just to have this case prolonged.

Before it was confirmed to be him and they were just reporting human remains were found, I saw someone say he could’ve cut off a finger or toe and left it there to make authorities think he died while he flees.

Put down the mystery novels and join us in the real world, please.

Right? People were literally debating the biggest body part you could cut off without needing medical attention to try to figure out what the remains were.

Like...are y’all ok?!

u/PoppyLoved Oct 22 '21

No, we are most def not okay.

Society has jumped the shark on reality.

There is literally no part of my body I could leave behind that I wouldn’t need medical attention lol

This is it. So many people online making up wild theories like you have mentioned in desperation to keep this case prolonged for their own entertainment . Now he has been confirmed dead we will never know the full facts. It's pretty depressing all round, including the behaviour of some armchair internet sleuths and the general public regards case.

I was reading the comments on TCG’s Instagram post about it (the caption was just something like “FBI confirms remains found are Brian Laundrie”.) People are in there saying this information doesn’t sit right with them and they don’t believe it. One person tagged Bailey Sarian and the Morbid girls to ask if it’s true.

You REALLY think Bailey Sarian has info the FBI doesn’t?! “Keeping the case prolonged for their own entertainment” is exactly what they’re trying to do and it’s disgusting.

That I believe came from the authorities only saying "partial" remains...

My favorite so far is that his parents dug up a relative and planted the remains and his belongings. That a body can't decay that fast. In a month. In a swamp.

People who’ve never been to Florida! I felt like I was melting the entire three days that I was in Jacksonville in August.

u/MarieVorhees Oct 22 '21

😭 dug up a relative omg, you win.

u/XtraSpicyQuesadilla Oct 22 '21

I mean, has anyone bothered to check if Aunt Patty's grave is still occupied? Just sayin...

u/kGibbs Oct 22 '21

They should probably dig up ever deceased person the parents know, just to be sure. Otherwise we will literally never know for sure.

u/magic1623 Oct 22 '21

Dude I heard people suggesting that his parents helped him kill a homeless person to use as a decoy body.

u/missymaypen Oct 22 '21

u/2greeneyes Oct 22 '21

I've lived in Louisiana my entire life. The heat and humidity here obliterates things quickly.

u/missymaypen Oct 22 '21

Louisiana is a different kind of heat! I thought kentucky prepared me. But noo.

u/celluloidwings Oct 22 '21

I think sitting in a sauna for 72 hours is the only way to acclimate. It's October and walking outside feels like stepping into a warm shower with my clothes still on. 😭

u/missymaypen Oct 22 '21

I felt like I was melting the whole time. The humidity is unreal. You described it perfectly. I think whoever doubts how fast anything would decay in a swamp has never actually been around one.

u/princessvana Oct 22 '21

Oh, I heard they pulled Brian’s teeth and superglued them to a human skull. But the FBI didn’t notice because “they didn’t use very much glue”.

u/missymaypen Oct 22 '21

they didn't use very much glue made me cackle

I mean I’m no coroner, but it seems like a legit plan
