MEME'S THE WORD
Brian Laundrie’s parents trolled by internet sleuths after human remains found in Carlton Reserve search for son
TWITTER has always been known as the platform for wild and off-the-wall comments- even in the most serious moments.
It's no surprise that when the news broke yesterday about human remains found near suspected belongings of Brian Laundrie during the first search involving his parents, Chris and Roberta Laundrie, invested citizens took to Twitter to express their feelings via memes.

A backpack and notebook belonging to Laundrie were found by police near human remains at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, near the Calton Reserve, yesterday during a brief search with the missing 23-year-old's parents.
Brian's dad, Chris Laundrie, found a white plastic bag containing some of his son's items in a patch of bushes next to a trail before police later found the backpack and remains, the family's lawyer Steve Bertolino said.
The remains have not yet been identified, but Bertolino said there's a "strong probability" they belong to Brian.
The area of discovery inside the vast alligator and insect-infested swampland had until recently been submerged in floodwaters caused by hurricanes last month.
But the discovery only led to more public suspicion about the Laundries due to the bags being discovered less than 90 minutes into the search- despite police having searched the park for weeks without success.

Many Facebook and Twitter users used memes to express suspicion that the Laundries may have planted evidence or known about their son's whereabouts prior to the search. There is no evidence to suggest that this is true and authorities have not charged Brian’s parents with any wrongdoing.
From references to the fictional character Love Quinn-Goldberg from the popular Netflix series "You" to Forrest Gump, social media users are casting doubt across platforms in the sincerity of yesterday's results in the search.

The whereabouts of Brian Laundrie still remain unsolved at this time. The FBI is currently working to determine if the remains found near the items are Laundrie's.

During the massive manhunt for Laundrie, at least five other bodies of missing persons have been discovered. There is no evidence linking Laundrie to these other cases.
