Brian Laundrie’s Instagram finally ‘TAKEN DOWN’ after creepy pictures and artwork sends sleuths in frenzy
BRIAN Laundrie’s Instagram account appears to have been taken down after his bone-chilling artwork sent internet sleuths into a frenzy.
Users cannot see the 23-year-old’s posts or view the number of people he's following on the social media site.
Internet sleuths can no longer trawl through his portfolio of chilling artwork, watch any videos that he uploaded, or see any posts that he was tagged in.
An error message stating: “User not found” pops up on the screen when clicking on his profile.
A Twitter user, known only as Alexxandra, said: “So they finally deleted Brian Laundrie’s Instagram?”
Ana said: “Did anyone notice that Brian Laundrie’s Instagram account is gone? Maybe I’m late at noticing but I think it’s gone.”
And a social media user commented: “Ummm, what happened to Brian Laundrie’s IG.”
It’s not known who removed Laundrie’s account.
Laundrie’s fiancée Gabby Petito was reported missing last month and sleuths trawled through his social media account in a bid to find potential clues that they believed could help law enforcement in their probes.

Web sleuths claimed to have spotted a knife on his business card as a blade appeared to feature in the logo of his artwork page “Bizarre Design”.
The card was spotted at the top of a chilling drawing of The Simpsons cartoon characters Itchy and Scratchy.
Laundrie captioned the post: “This was a fun one! I wanna give them little bodies with blood spraying from their necks, a lot of gore, maybe an axe or chainsaw, generic Itchy and Scratchy stuff.”
One eagle-eyed web sleuth commented: “Does anyone notice the small picture in the top left side, it’s a knife.”
Another posted: “It looks like the type of knife one would use to carve melons. Paring knife.”
Web sleuths also claimed to unearth a series of “demonic artworks”, prompting some social media detectives to brand the 23-year-old a “f**king psychopath”.
Some alleged he was trying to convince people that he was “clinically insane”, while others wildly speculated that Laundrie may have been a member of the Illuminati.
On July 11, 2020, Laundrie posted an from the Adult Swim show "The Venture Bros" with the caption "Products of late nights with Adult Swim."
He also hashtagged words like #trippyart, #trippy and #blacklightdesigns.
The image features a depiction of the so-called "all-seeing eye" - the symbol on top of a pyramid that has long been associated with Illuminati conspiracy theories.
Sleuths claimed that Laundrie's creepy skeleton drawing predicted he would burn in hell.
The artwork from last July shows a skeleton that appears to have blood gushing from it.
The bloodied figure's arms are stretched outwards and the character seems like they are screaming.
Laundrie captioned the picture: “Who watches the Watchmen? Swipe for some Rorschach tests.”
The so-called Rorschach test is claimed to reveal a person’s unconscious thoughts, motives, or desires.
CHILLING ART
Rorschach is a superhero from the 1986 comic book series The Watchmen published by DC Comics.
Sleuths appeared spooked by Laundrie's "addiction" to the demonic world as they unearthed some of his other warped designs.
Armchair detectives noticed a drawing on his Instagram account that appears to show a man wearing a wolf mask holding a blood-soaked knife.
The character's trousers and jacket are covered in splatters as he leans menacingly forward.
Laundrie also sketched several drawings of the demonic comic book character Hellboy.
Hellboy looks like an adult but has a tail, horns, and hooves. He has a right hand made of stone that is known as the “Right Hand of Doom”.
And a drawing, which Laundrie claimed was crafted with pen and watercolor, shows Frankenstein’s monster chained to a chair made of rock and wood.
The monster has chains around his ankles, feet, and neck.
Alongside his artwork, Laundrie shared snaps of himself alongside fiancée Gabby while they were on their adventures.
In one haunting post, the 23-year-old bragged that the couple read the horror-satire novel Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk.
Lullaby, published in 2002, tells the story of journalist Carl Streator, who is writing an article about crib death when he notices a strange connection between the deaths of the babies and those of his own wife and infant.
HORROR TALES
Laundrie said: “Reading is different than any other consumption of media, it takes more effort than staring at a screen half alive, it allows you to use your brain rather than melt it, and there is no author more stimulation to me than Chuck Palahniuk.”
And the 23-year-old seemed to be a big fan of Palahniuk’s other novel Rant.
The book, released in 2007, is told in the form of an oral biography and is centered around a high school rebel, Rant Casey, and another character named Green Taylor Simms.
In its synopsis, the book is described as ";a mind-bending vision of the future, as only Chuck Palahniuk could ever imagine."
Laundrie branded it the “f**king craziest” out of all Palahniuk’s books on his shelf.
The removal of Laundrie’s Instagram account comes just days after law enforcement found partial remains and possessions in the Florida wilderness.
The remains were then positively identified as belonging to Laundrie, bringing a near five-week manhunt to an end.
INCONCLUSIVE AUTOPSY
Following the discovery, web sleuths have been speculating how Laundrie may have died as some wonder if he may have been eaten.
A , known only as Olivia, claims she found "bones" around 60 yards from where Laundrie’s remains were reportedly unearthed.
She teased “Could be animal" as she uploaded several snaps of the discovery.
One sleuth said: “Definitely gator. They have those long spike extrusions on spoke bones. I feel when the water levels rised, Gators migrated to him and then went back out father as the water receded.”
Another speculated: “I’m sure those gators roam and don’t just stay in the water.”
Alligators kill their prey by clamping their jaws before dragging them underwater.
Tom Joyce, a retired NYPD commander, exclusively told The Sun that the remains had likely suffered "a lot of post mortem predation."
He said: “If the remains are skeletal, that means the tissue has been pulled away from the bones. Most likely by alligators, crabs, fish, and stuff like that.”

Joyce speculated that Laundrie could’ve died accidentally, from natural causes, and suggested he could’ve been attacked by an animal.
A cause of death has not yet been revealed as a preliminary autopsy came back inconclusive.
