What do you guys want the media to cover instead of this?

Usually when people complain about a story getting too much media attention, they would say, I think [ insert other story here ] deserves more attention.

Its been a slow news year in general, so Im just curious to find out what those alternative(s) are.

It's not that she shouldn't be covered, it's that we should hold all kidnappings in the country to the same level of reporting. If we want to blow up all media to get people searching for kidnapped people, that's great. I'm all for it. More eyes, the better. But if we only do it for one particular race, then it's clearly a problem.

People just want equal reporting. Not that hard to figure out.

Right, but are they actively missing right now? Are police actively looking for them / investigating their aftermaths, or are they cold cases?

News media rolls with what gets ratings. That's just how it is. Stories about attractive people missing bring in more viewers than deciding to run equal time for every missing person.

Nothing to be done about it unless you want to start mandating what the news has to report, and good luck with that.

Are there any other photos of her? Pretty hard to identify a missing woman off one old black & white photo.

Any other info about her disappearance besides "she went missing?"

You're comparing apples & oranges here.

Thee used to be a show called America's Most Wanted. It showcased fugitives that were being hunted. I wonder if they could do a tv show like that for missing people. It would run at least weekly if not daily and bring up missing persons from all over the country

it's against ToS to be deliberately off topic, but it looks like one of the lesser enforced violations.

Yes, this story was clearly a conspiracy to stop the masses from thinking about the Biden administration.

So you're trying to say they only do this for white people? I think this is more of a gendered thing. When has a whole nation gone berserk over a missing man that wasn't a criminal? I think the more likely factor is she's a pretty, young woman and I guess it helps that she has a social media following.

But I totally agree we shouldn't obsess over a single missing person when there's many missing people. News just likes coverage I guess and what will gain a lot of views.

You act like the media attention solved this case.

Literally have the person whom most likely committed the murder on camera and then he flees.

How about the hospital overflow from unvaccinated morons who are straining the Healthcare system past the breaking point?

How about hospitals talking about setting up covid wards in tents in their parking lots or abandoned lots?

How about the fact that the week of 9/11/21 more than 3x as many people died of covid as died to the 9/11 terror attacks? Almost every single one was unvaccinated.

How about where we are killing children in Florida by blocking mask mandates for schools?

You're right, we probably can't throw all 400 on the TV now and hope they get solved. But I think the finer point is that you couldn't name 1 of those 400 women but you can name Gabby. Why weren't there articles about each of those 400 wherever we looked when they went missing? There is probably one or two for each person that came out at the time but not like it is with Gabby.

I think what makes this case stand out more is the circumstances surrounding it. Young girl who had a small following who was uploading her day to day life on social media. Traveling with her fianc.

when shit hit the fan that he came home alone and didnt notify the authorities that she was missing and then disappears shortly after. Thats a recipe for a movie. And the media loves this shit.

but I agree - missing persons should get more coverage. I also think:
