Brian Laundrie 'took books about serial killers to heart & turned himself into a murderer', Dog the Bounty Hunter claims
DOG the Bounty Hunter has a theory that Brian Laundrie "built himself" into a murderer by reading "demonic" serial killer books.
The TV star, real name Duane Chapman, told The Sun in an exclusive interview that he thinks the "dark side" books Laundrie read as a child could have influenced him to become a "killer."
He said of the books: "This kid Brian has taken those books, obviously, to heart.
"And this is what happens when your kid is looking at those kinds of things, catches on, and it's demons, and it's blood, and it's this and it's that, look what that led to.
"He overnight just didn't become a killer. A killer is made, and he is built to be a killer.
"He built himself to be that by looking at that kind of, let's say, the dark side stuff, and I call it what it was, demonic. There's pictures of demons all over it."
He also reiterated his theory that Brian is a "serial killer."
"I’m thinking more and more about him being maybe a serial killer, not just a killer of Gabby."
Vlogger Gabby, 22, went on the adventure of a lifetime across the country with her 23-year-old Laundrie, but only he returned home.
After hiring a lawyer and refusing to talk, he then vanished too — five days before Gabby’s remains were found in a shallow grave in Bridger–Teton National Forest in Wyoming.
He is now wanted by police with a manhunt launched in Florida where he was known to camp in the past.
Brian, who is wanted for questioning by authorities as a person of interest, has not yet been charged with any crimes related to Gabby's death.
In a message previously posted to Instagram, Brian wrote that he and Gabby read Chuck Palahnuik's novel 'Lullaby' as well as 'Rant', a novel in the form of an oral biography, together.
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.
He then finds out that his wife and child had died after he read them a "culling song" from a book.
Unintentionally, he memorizes the rhyme and becomes a serial killer who kills people over minor annoyances.
Rant, which was 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 wrote on Instagram: "The f**king craziest out of all of Chuck’s books on my shelf, I can’t fathom how he must have written this one! I’d love to preach all of the insane twists and turns but all I can say is that I’ll never forget the name Rant Casey. Or Green Taylor Simms.
"Me and my fiancé read this one out loud together and boy oh boy I can’t believe some of the stuff coming out of our mouths."
On a Pinterest profile that appears to belong to Laundrie, the 23-year-old pinned several images depicting violence, death, and references to movies and pop culture in a folder titled "watercolor."
At least three of the images saved in the folder of 128 "pins" reference H. G. Well's science fiction novel, The Invisible Man.
The book was loosely adapted into a feature film last year, telling the story of a crazed scientist who fakes his suicide and makes himself invisible to stalk and terrorize his ex-girlfriend.
Also featured in the folder are sketches of skulls, paintings of Joaquin Phoneix's depiction of The Joker, and images of Frankenstein.
One of the pins, which displays fourth in the folder, shows a shadowed figure leaning down to stab another who is lying on a bed of flowers.
Some artwork Laundrie shared to his personal Instagram page, @bizarre_design_, also showcases dark themes, such as depictions of grim reapers, blood, or knives.
One such post, dated July 15, 2020, is captioned "Grim Reaper leading sheep to the slaughter" and shows a herd of sheep surrounded by ghoulish figures wielding scythes.
Some of the reapers have been carved into mousetraps and outlined in red.
A second work, uploaded a week earlier, shows what appears to be a man wearing a wolf mask, sat in a chair and holding a blood-soaked knife, with red splatters up his arms and legs.
Behind the subject's head is a red circle, with three other animal mask-wearing figures holding guns and a bat.
A third work, this time in blacklight form, shows a red skeleton, with its arms in the air and mouth agape, looking up as red splatters – resembling blood – surround it.
