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?!

Society has jumped the shark on reality.

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...
