Gabby Petito

[wufan]

Assuming the boyfriend has his phone with him and has his location services turned on, how hard would it be for the authorities to get a court order to track all the places he's been?

You can assume that he considered that when he disappeared.

I’m going to assume that he’s not dumb, and therefore didn’t take his phone. Maybe he has a burner now and cash and is attempting to be untraceable.

I am guessing he is gator bait. Tragic story that is so sad for her family. I can't even imagine how they must feel. As a parent, this is absolutely a worst nightmare.

I bet he shows up captured before the end of the month.

BTW, if you’re ever in the Tetons with a significant other that is no longer significant, it’s best to go on a mountain hike and run back for help when the significant falls.

This is a weird story. Fight got out of hand and the guy panicked? Turned his 10 year bid into a life sentence. Random third person after the guy left her? He had threatened to abandon her before. Girl this cute had to have a screw loose because there is no other reason for her not to have the world on a string.

Whatever the cause she's gone and he's likely gone. Damn shame.

Nah. Mental case. Dollars to donuts he gone...

When they were showing helicopter footage of the remains site, it appeared to be in some sort of shallow grave. Just saying, a dead body can’t bury itself.

Sorry if too soon, but with the shallow grave reference and the recent death of Norm MacDonald, the two kind of go together.

Idiot Joy Reid calls coverage of Gabby Pettito a case of "missing white woman syndrome". This is a ridiculously racist thing to say but I am sure that no one will say anything.

Has the right hair line.

Then do something about it Joy. You have your own media show, you're supposedly a journalist (term used LOOSELY) so when's the last one you covered?

Worthless race baiting elitist clown.

She's wrong, but not completely wrong. If Gabby was a 250lb shebeast of a woman that went missing it wouldn't have generated this type of coverage.

Missing attractive people are more likely to generate interest. Missing attractive white woman even more so.

But it's not necessarily a racist thing as it is a ratings thing. People tend to feel more empathy towards young attractive people. If she looked like a young Gabrielle Union and went missing like this I have little doubt that there would still be a ton of publicity about it.

She is completely wrong. I think it has little to nothing to do with race. I wholeheartedly believe it has to do with a young female with a large social media presence. It wouldn't matter if she was white, black, purple, pink or blue. Social media has WAY more to do with the exposure the story is getting than race.

Like WuDoc said, if Joy has an issue why doesn't she devote her show or a new show to exposing all of the black women who go missing rather than race bait and complain all the time. Playing the victim is one of my biggest pet peaves. It's a lazy way out.

Interesting people garner attention regardless of race or even their shebeast rating. Plenty of people of all races and all sizes and shapes go missing without much more than a mention on the local news. But compelling backstories sell. The unsolved murder of a child beauty contestant sells. So does the murder of the pregnant wife of a philandering police officer. Mass murders sell as well. A young internet "influencer" also fits the bill for a story that will get a bunch of coverage. It really is about the backstory.

The fact of the matter is this, there are plenty of missing persons turned murder stories covered on Forensic Files. Many, many of them are people of color. The difference is, that show highlighted the use of forensics, and if the application and use of forensics was compelling, regardless of race, the story ran. There are hundreds of people that go missing every year, maybe thousands. One or two a year, if that, get national coverage.
