INTERNET sleuths branded Brian Laundrie a “f**king psychopath” for wanting to draw "blood squirting" from the necks of The Simpsons characters Itchy and Scratchy.
Laundrie, 23, revealed how much he enjoyed drawing the heads of the cartoon cat and mouse in an Instagram post last August.

The designs were uploaded to his social media account almost a year before starting his ill-fated cross-country road trip with fiancée Gabby Petito.
Ever since Gabby was reported missing and later found dead, internet sleuths trawled through Laundrie's social media accounts as they tried to gain an insight into his personality.
One social media user branded the 23-year-old a "f**king psychopath", while another added: "Hmmm, blood, shows how dirty your heart is."
Web sleuths claim to have spotted a knife hidden in the logo of Laundrie's business card that showcases his artwork page "Bizarre Design".
Some internet detectives compared the blade to a "paring knife" that's commonly used to peel fruit and vegetables.
Meanwhile, other Instagram users were less than convinced as they said the logo looked like a popsicle.

Web sleuths also claimed that Gabby’s fiance was trying to convince people that he was “clinically insane”.
An artwork from July 2020 shows a skeleton that appears to have blood gushing from it.
The bloodied figure's arms are stretched outwards and the character seems like they are screaming.
Laundrie captioned the picture: “Who watches the Watchmen? Swipe for some Rorschach tests.”
The so-called Rorschach test is claimed to reveal a person’s unconscious thoughts, motives, or desires.
Rorschach is a superhero from the 1986 comic book series The Watchmen published by DC Comics.
Web sleuths appeared spooked by Laundrie's "addiction" to the demonic world as they unearthed some of his other warped designs.
Armchair detectives noticed a drawing on his Instagram account that appears to show a man wearing a wolf mask holding a blood-soaked knife.
The character's trousers and jacket are covered in splatters as he leans menacingly forward.
In the Instagram post from July 2020, Laundrie appeared to share a phone number linked to the game Hotline Miami.
Calls to the number reveal a strange answering machine message in which an eerie voice talks about "marching into the future".
'GHOULISH DRAWINGS'
Hotline Miami is described on gaming site Steam as "high-octane" and "overflowing with raw brutality, hard-boiled gunplay, and skull-crushing close combat."
Another post from July 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 drawing, which Laundrie says was crafted with pen and watercolor, shows Frankenstein's monster chained to a chair made of rock and wood.
In the black and white image, the monster has shackles around his ankles, feet, and neck.
Laundrie shared several images of the demonic comic book character Hellboy.
Hellboy looks like an adult but has a tail, horns, and hooves. He has a right hand made of stone that is known as the “Right Hand of Doom”.
Laundrie also shared haunting pencil sketches of the characters Adam and Barbara Maitland from the 1988 Tim Burton film Beetlejuice.
His chilling designs spooked reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter – who scoured the Florida wilderness in a bid to find the 23-year-old.
While scouring the Fort de Soto campground, Dog delved into Laundrie’s social media as he tried to build a “profile” of Gabby’s Petito's fiancé.
'SPINE TINGLING'
He told The Sun: “There are pictures of demonic angels standing there with the sword, and the throat bleeding. There is blood squirting from their eyes."
Dog revealed that when his wife Francie saw the chilling artworks they gave her “goosebumps”.
After an almost five-week manhunt, cops found “partial remains” in the Carlton Reserve, Sarasota.
They positively identified the "skull and bones" as belonging to Laundrie through his dental records.
A cause of death has not been released as the remains were sent to an anthropologist.
Laundrie allegedly told his parents he was going for a hike in the 25,000-acre nature park last month.
Cops found a notebook while Chris Laundrie unearthed a dry bag.
Artworks posted on Laundrie’s Instagram page have led sleuths to speculate whether they were included in the notebook and if they hold potential clues into Gabby's death.
One Facebook "detective," said: "I think it's probably his art. They were both into drawing."
An internet sleuth feared: "My theory is drawing of the events that led up to it and during her strangulation. It's going to be dark (sic)."

But, other amateur detectives fear they’ll be left disappointed as some suggested that the notebook could contain a to-do list or nothing at all.
It’s not known what is inside the notebook as cops haven’t revealed its contents.
