BRIAN Laundrie web sleuths think Gabby Petito's final Instagram post hinted at signs about "death and evil."
The post – which was shared online on August 25 and captioned with a fly and pumpkin emoji – shows the tragic vlogger standing in front of a butterfly mural.
Questions had already been raised on whether Brian – and not Gabby – uploaded the final post.
Now one sleuth has suggested the use of a fly emoji rather than a butterfly could hint at something more sinister.
EMOJI RIDDLE
They wrote on Facebook: "If Brian did author that last post I noticed something weird.
"Clearly the picture is of her with butterflies in the background. So why is there a fly emoji instead of a butterfly emoji?
"I goggled the symbolism behind a fly and it means evil and bringers of death…coincidence?
"Brian seemed like the spiritual one with nature type. So just an observation."
Internet sleuths had already alleged that Petito's interest in butterflies could offer clues to her disappearance.
A TikTok video published to the site last month highlighted how 22-year-old Petito used butterflies across her social media, before showing a clip of Laundrie discussing flies to the cops.
Laundrie – who was found dead last month after being named a "person of interest" in the investigation into Gabby's death – says to police in the video, "and the flies here are pretty intense, so the flies have definitely been getting to her".
One person commented on the video, claiming: "I think sometimes butterflies can be used as a signal that someone is experiencing or survived domestic abuse".
Another user speculated: "Can we talk about how supposedly journey was supposed to end on Halloween and the last [Instagram] post's caption says happy Halloween".
'DOESN'T ADD UP'
One user picked up on Laundrie's affiliation with flies, suggesting: "HIS INSTA BIO ALSO SAYS 'BUG BITES ARE BETTER THAN BEING BRAINWASHED BY THE MEDIA' and it used to be the fly emoji but he changed it to a leaf ! SUS ASF".
Others say Petito's last Instagram post "doesn't add up".
Eagle-eyed social media users noticed Petito usually used the butterfly emoji but in her last Instagram post – which was posted two days after her last confirmed sighting – features a fly emoji.
There is no evidence that the snaps were edited or uploaded by her fiancé.
PERSON OF INTEREST
Petito was reported missing on September 11 after going on a cross-country road trip with her fiancé Brian Laundrie.
Brian's remains were officially identified on October 21 after an extensive search at Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.
The FBI released a statement after it was confirmed that the human remains found in the search for Brian were bones.
Gabby was found dead at Grand Teton National Park, in Wyoming, on September 19.
GABBY KILLED
Her remains were discovered eight days after she was reported missing and six days after Laundrie vanished.
She was confirmed by a coroner to have been strangled to death by a "human force", and likely to have died between three to four weeks before she was found.
Laundrie was never named a suspect in the case but is the only person of interest.
The couple had been on a cross-country road trip together when Gabby was killed
