Why the Gabby Petito Case Has Captivated the Nation

Earlier this week, the influencers' friends have spoken out about traveling pair's alleged "toxic" relationship. "They had very low lows and very high highs," Gabby's friendBut her Instagram feed also proved to be a small window in Gabby's life with Brian, one armchair detectives were immediately hoping to pry open ever more.

Reddit's forum about Gabby amassed over 100,000 members in less than 10 days and averages 6,400 comments per day, according to Subreddit Stats, a site that collects Reddit data. "This is absolutely the fastest case of growth I have ever seen on Reddit for any type of missing persons case," a moderator told Insider. When the FBI announced human remains had been found on Sept. 19, the moderators locked the page to avoid overwhelming the site.

Was an interesting read until race was brought into it, thought they were trying to find the fiancé

Why is it that she & her family received so much media attention but other families who have missing daughters & sons in very similar circumstances (Domestic Violence, Controlling Spouse, Bullying) not? If it is a matter of Race & Class then ya Police need to do better

Duh.

It is funny media wondering why other media outlets do not give as much attention to other cases as they did to this case! It might be simple: You take the initiative and report on it.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

My God the girl was found dead and people are still using it as a race card sickening

Because she’s white. Easy article.

It didn't the media just choose to focus on it

Cause y'all kept posting about it 🤷🏾‍♀️

Because the man drove her van back from a few months vaca with out her and the police let him walk free & say nothing. The fact that we the public had more sense then the police. She had alot of followers that brought attention to the case. Absolutely nothing to do with race.

People need to start targeting the media in regards to why they only cover certain cases. Yes she was white🙄 but she was also an 'influencer' and the circumstances surrounding it were odd. So yea it got more media attention.

The biggest reason is she’s white and attractive.

Because she’s a pretty blonde white woman.

Soon a lifetime or Netflix movie

It captured the nation because of the media. I wish all missing people got this attention. I hope they find that POS soon!! 💔

Probably because the police really f'ked up and should have taken her in when they stop her and saw her crying on the highway. Instead let her go and now she's dead. We want answers

Easy. She’s white.

cvgypsy_

Because you all keep cramming it down our throats every f-ing day! ‼️

🙄

Because she blogged her travels, had 800 thousand followers who followed her daily…I love how ppl are trying to say because she’s white it got attention…f-off with that…It’s because she posted her life daily

😉

Gabby Petito case shines spotlight on other missing person casesThe national spotlight on Gabby Petito's disappearance has given families of other missing persons hope that that they too can amplify their stories and find loves ones. This should have been done years ago . People of other race besides white don’t get the same attention it’s sad. Two very unremarkable people that you wouldn’t even look at if it was just you and them in a room became a fixation of social media. This country really gravitates towards apparent murders on the road. However, that’s not to say that this isn’t an unfortunate scenario. More inner strength than I could fathom it would take to share your grief with stranger so that they, themselves can keep the candles lit for their lost ones. Closure the only motive. There is no happy endings for these poor people. Our hearts be with them on this day and beyond
