Gabby Petito sleuths think chilling artwork with quotes about 'closing her eyes' shows she feared she would be killed

GABBY Petito sleuths are convinced that her haunting artwork reflect the vlogger's deep-seated fears that she would be killed one day.

A year before Gabby was strangled to death and her body dumped in a Wyoming park, she penned a number of illustrations that have sparked online interest since her fiance Brian Laundrie went on the run.



A drawing of a female face surrounded by written messages posted on April 27, 2020, has caught the attention of many social media sleuths, who have been decoding hidden clues and hints.

One of the messages around the face reads: "I don't like to go outside. I like my bed" and another says: "To future me: I'm not sleeping I'm just closing my eyes."

On top of the drawing, a sign reads, "From: the inner workings of my mind…"

She captioned it: "#boredinthehouseandiminthehousebored" – likely in reference to the hit that went viral on TikTok during Covid quarantine in 2020.

Other messages around the drawing say: "Not now, I'm busy sleeping" and "you were like a dream."

The vlogger's last Instagram posts have been questioned by web sleuths who point out the lack of tagged locations as well as a possible clue given away by her hair.

Many pointed out that Gabby's hair appears to have been recently dyed blonde on her last post, whereas her previous posts don't show her hair as light.

Others are convinced her blue sky posts with "I’m blue" Eiffel 65 lyrics were actually coded messages, as one person commented: "Is she trying to say she’s sad??"

On July 31, 2020, the 22-year-old vlogger posted two pictures of herself on Instagram that appeared to show her outdoors wearing a gray top and white pants.

Gabby captioned one post: "I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa 🦋 #imblue."

In the second post, she captioned it: "Blue his house with a blue little window And a blue Corvette And everything is blue for him 🧊✈️🤍🔹🦕. #blue."

Another person chimed in, saying: "Blue as in sad???"

Gabby's caption referred to the Eiffel 65 song Blue (Da Ba Dee), which sleuths have tried to connect as a coded meaning for "sad."

'I'M BLUE'

One web sleuths highlighted the beginning of the '90s song claiming the lyrics "quickly establish that our protagonist in the song is suffering from depression."

Gabby's artistic talents were well-known and referenced by her ex-boyfriend in an emotional Facebook dedication.

"Any ordinary person would write in a journal, with words, but not you, you were extraordinary," he wrote on September 20 – a day after Gabby's remains had been recovered.

"Each page had these in-depth drawings depicting how you felt and what you were experiencing.

"All I can remember was how impressed I was, telling you how talented, and creative you were, honored and touched that you trusted me enough to even share with me something so personal."

Meanwhile, Dog the Bounty Hunter has expressed his horror at her fiance Laundrie’s art, which shows figures with bleeding throats and blood squirting from their eyes.

To future me: I'm not sleeping I'm just closing my eyes.

He also branded what Laundrie is shown reading on his social media accounts as "serial killer books."

The reality TV star exclusively told The Sun that he found Gabby Petito's fiancé's social media accounts "absolutely terrifying" just days before it was revealed she died from manual strangulation.

Laundrie, who in one post describes himself as a comic book fanatic, leans heavily into pop culture in the vast majority of his paintings and sketches,.

Some of his artwork depicts the Marvel character Hellboy and others.

Gabby's body was found earlier this week in Wyoming and Teton County Coroner Dr Brent Blue confirmed the vlogger died as a result of homicide but the cause is still pending final autopsy results.

Meanwhile, her fiancé Brian Laundrie remains missing after he vanished last Tuesday when according to his family, he left home to go hiking in Carlton Reserve and never returned.
