The following of the fake Gabby Petito Instagram account that has been linked to Brian Laundrie’s family has doubled overnight. The night before last, the false profile had a following of just over 5,000. Yesterday morning, the following of the phony profile has doubled in size breaking 10,000 followers. And, in the past 24 hours, the profile has gained nearly another 5,000 followers. What does this massive uptick in followers mean?
Fake Gabby Petito Instagram Continues To Gain Followers
Now, as we mentioned the other day, this fake Gabby Petito Instagram is a private account. This means a person cannot actually follow the account until someone on the other end of the profile approves the follow request. So, this means there is still someone on the other end of this fake account actively approving follow requests.
The Phoney Account Has Been Linked To Brian Laundrie’s Family
Presently, the internet isn’t 100 percent sure who is running this false account. But, they believe either Brian Laundrie or his mother is the one behind the screen. The biggest red flag is the account ONLY follows Brian Laundrie’s Instagram.
Moreover, it has been reported that the phone number attached to the account contains the same last two digits ad Brian Laundrie’s mother. And, there is the fact that the account has gone through a lot of trouble to defend Brian over trying to prove the account actually belonged to Gabby Petito.
The Fake Gabby Petito Profile Posted Something Yesterday
Turns out, this fake Gabby Petito Instagram has done more than just approve followers. The account also posted something on their Instagram Stories. As we previously reported, there was a bizarre photo of a green tent up on the profile’s Instagram Stories. The picture was only up for about 55 minutes before it was taken back down.
Understandably, the photo left a lot of people scratching their heads. Was this account really still trying to convince people Gabby was alive even after her body was discovered? Or, was the post on the Instagram Stories an accident?
Those following this story also know Brian Laundrie has reportedly been active on Spotify, his own Instagram, and Facebook. So, it isn’t too much of a stretch to think he could be using this fake account as well. The biggest question the internet has is simple: If Brian Laundrie is able to spend so much time on the internet… Why haven’t the police tracked him down?
Presently, the faux profile has just shy of 15,000 followers. To date, the profile still only follows Brian Laundrie.
