Episode 430: Brian Laundrie Is Alive? His Confession Note For Killing Fiance Similar To Famous Horror Novel
The story starts on TikTok. First, with all the things that don’t make sense.
After Gabby goes missing - the only person that knows where she might be is her fiancé Brian Laundrie. But he’s now missing.
He goes missing for a month straight - before his body is found in a local park in Florida… by his parents.
The FBI have been searching for over a month, reportedly spending over a million taxpayer dollars - and his parents find his remains within an hour?
What about his mom’s “Burn After Reading” letter? She writes that if he needs to bury a body she will bring a shovel. Or the fact that his remains are completely skeletonized?
These are the things that lead people to believe…there is no way Brian Laundrie is actually dead.
The conspiracy being that he faked his death and is now getting away with murdering his fiancee. But how could that even be possible?
Could he really be living in a bunker under his protective parent’s house? How would they be able to pull something like his off? Is there any truth to the conspiracy? What does the Laundrie family know?
