Next they find the dude of murder suicide.

This has been a weird sequence of events.

I am glad my oldest is a pretty white blonde so that if she goes missing it will be national news.

Cleaning my ears with a Q-tip makes me cough.

As soon as I heard this was a story, I couldn’t help but have related thoughts. Aruba girl being the prime example.

an odd number of Utahans are nutz about this, even though she’s got no connection to the state other than camping here

memorials set up and everything...seems bizarre to me

Sorry to be so morose and depressing about it. Today is not my best mental health day at all. My heart goes out to her family and the whole thing is just sucks.

My heart just also hurts for the families of all the missing kids who aren't white and pretty who are sitting at home wishing that their child's case would get this kind of attention. If I was one of those parents, the insane amount of coverage this is getting would drive me insane.

Petito's body was found in Wyoming where 710 indigenous people, most of them female, have gone missing between 2011-2020. I cannot name any of them as I have not seen a second of coverage for any of them.

Thousands of others across the country just vanish; sometimes their bodies are found and identified, sometimes not. It's just so sad.

There’s also this angle that she was a lifestyle blogger or whatever. The whole thing is well documented online m, even including the police body cam accounts of her fights with the fiancée. The general public can literally watch it like a movie.

Yeah, I got you. The coverage is fine, to me, but this stuff almost never piques my interest for many of the reasons you stated.

I agree that the coverage in a vacuum is fine. I just wish that communities of color felt like people cared about their missing youth.

Make a cable channel that is 100% 24/7 stories about missing people in the US. Maybe it would get more people aware and involved. Put those twitter/facebook wanna-be sleuths to work and offer them a small cash reward for significant findings. I don't know.

Hasn't hit Parler yet?

While I will say race ( and youth/attractiveness ) certainly has to do with it, so does the story.
They were engaged, she was trying to be an 'influencer', and going cross country on a road trip.
I'm not sure any of the aforementioned 710 indigenous people were engaged and doing a cross country road trip but I would say that is/was a factor for the media picking it up.

there is a dynamic to this that i hadn’t thought of, but was mentioned in a Radio West story the other day. other than statistics and original missing persons reports, it’s often quite difficult for mainstream/legacy media to get the more compelling details of such stories from indigenous/native communities because of distrust in those journalism outlets.

more often than not it is not only negative stories that get covered from these communities, but all too often a side note is included about crime, alcoholism, violence, etc. statistics of these communities even if that data had nothing to do with the story at hand
