People go missing all the time and never get this much attention. I haven't been following this story super closely, what's so different about this one?

I think it's a combination of three things:

  • Missing white woman syndrome
  • Her social media presence
  • The weird behavior of her boyfriend

About a dozen people have already asked this question and it's been answered a dozen times

You could read a news article to easily answer you question

But it captured people's attention for a number of reasons. The victim was a Youtuber. The boyfriend returned home mysteriously alone and refused to tell anyone what happened. And then he vanishes as soon as the body is found .

If the main person is deemed attractive to the general population, it will be news worthy.

The strange circumstances of the case is straight out of a mystery novel/crime doc.

It's great entertainment

Young attractive White woman. Plus, the case is weird because there is an obvious suspect that is MIA.

Aaaand done.

It's sad she died. Seriously RIP. But you will always hear Amber alerts for white women and kids and not so much for non white people, and men. It's the media's fault for not putting any attention to other demographics.

What strange circumstances? It seems like an open and shut case. Everyone knew that the boyfriend killed her even before they found the body

A bunch of people that dont get any media attention, but of course the usual suspects in here have to make everything a race contest.

When something like that becomes a national news story it's usually because there's some element to hook the public in. This story had a couple of those
