That’s not what I was getting at. Was just surprised we didn’t hear about other cases except for the Gabby one which gained national attention. I understand though. Just sucks for the families that cried for help and didn’t get much vs this case where Federal agents got involved.

Sure, hindsight is 20/20 but unfortunately the cops didn't pick up on signs from both of them; they can always do better. They were kinda biased in a way w probably 90% of the interaction w the male getting his pov mostly. They also failed to catch him on the cellphone lie and didn't catch his reaction when told they determined that he was the victim. Yes, yes, again 20/20 but this at least could be used as an exercise in training future cops.


Sadly, she didn't help matters defending him/admitting hitting him, etc, thereby muddying the situation. I think these cops do need better awareness, it's not their fault they were not equipped so some training is needed for these situations and also when dealing w those who are mentally-challenged. For example, why would they tell an obviously deranged/upset female to drive alone? Why not tell her to call someone to pick her up or meet up, if possible?

This is one of the problems that the BLM movement was trying to address. LEOs need a variety of training and the few months they are getting isn't enough.

yahoo news reported that neighbors saw the parents and Brian leave their house with attached camper.

Charlene and William Guthrie, who moved to North Port, Florida, this summer, said they told authorities they saw Christopher and Roberta Laundrie attach what appeared to be a new camper to their truck and drive off for what the couple assumed was a weekend-long camping trip with their son.

"I saw them doing some work. And then when they prepared for their trip, I saw them loading the camper," William Guthrie told Fox.

He said he thought it was odd for the parents to go on a camping trip with their adult son in that particular camper, which he described as "small."

The Guthries said they reported the incident to police after authorities came to their home while investigating the disappearance of 22-year-old Petito.
They were not sure if Laundrie returned from the trip with his parents.

I think it is tough to ask those police to make a call on the situation they had in front of them, there's not much else they could do I think.

A separate incident /commotion was reported yesterday, involving the couple in Wyoming on August 27th. This is a two full weeks after the Moab, UT encounter with police and possibly one of the last sighting of Gabby alive. Laundrie supposedly arrived home to Florida on September 1st.

This altercation sounds much different than the first, almost like there was an incident between waitstaff and them.

This case, so far, is the epitome of not enough info and no info.

No way, we have to train them to be psychics! They should have known she would be killed at some point in the future! It's unacceptable that bad shit happens! We MUST fix all bad shit NOW!

In MN, it is law that if the police are called to a domestic situation, the physical aggressor is automatically arrested and spends a night in jail. I think a lot of other states have similar laws, Utah must not be one of them.

Personally, I like the law and most of the cops I know/have worked with in the past like it to. It takes some of the burden off of them and diffuses the situation for the night at least.

why not post about the 2 other people missing in the tetons from the last couple months then? Robert Lowry since 8/23 and Cian McLaughlin from 6/2.

is it because they are white and wouldnt fit into your race baiting?

My personal take: I blame social media. I've seen so many stories lately of social media influencers (or wannabes) dying from freak accidents or stupid situations that they placed themselves in. Not sure what happened here-no one does at this point- it's all conjecture. But those placing the responsibility on the police to have the forethought to see where this was going are misguided at best. People make their own decisions, and place themselves in these situations. What other responsibilities should LEO's have? Marital counselors?? Psychology degrees?? special needs experts?? Pharmacologists? That's a lot of responsibility.

And not once did we hear BLM shout "RETRAIN THE POLICE" at the top of their lungs for over a year. Only "DEFUND THE POLICE"--Possibly the stupidest slogan for an organization ever.

Why do you guys get so pissed off about this? It is a well understood phenomenon. Young, female, pretty and white always get way more media attention than ugly, fat and a minority (especially if it is a native american female).

I'm not a social media fan but I disagree with you here. This is unfortunately your usual run of the mill domestic violence case. As someone else said it happens every day multiple times etc. Most of the cases don't sell airtime or click bait.

Edit: I do agree on the defund the police thing being a stupid take. If anything they need more funding to take on all the things you mentioned or spin them off into specialized departments/fields. Because they and other social services have been defunded to the point it has been put on the police.

Come on now, let's not try to re-write history! On day #2 serious people were not saying simply, "Defund...". Most also knew it was a stupid slogan & goal.
But the 'right' took the phrase, ran with it, and won't let go.

News flash: The more 'popular' you are the more people care in general

A rockstar goes missing, people care. A no name person goes missing, very few people care. In this case she/they had some social media presence. Also, news stations pick and choose what they want to air and run with. If there is no juicy story why mention every person who goes missing? In this case there is enough to talk about that it is interesting and entertaining. The news is no longer about giving the facts, it is about getting views and clicks. If you report on every no name hiker that goes missing people would get bored rather quick. There needs to be some flesh on the bone so they have something to run with.

This is not about race. Don't make it be about it.

because its more than just race, and that guy is trying to make it a race thing. like i posted before, theres over half a million missing people cases a year. This case is getting national attention because of her social media following, the fact that it took place across the US, and all the missing/suspicious details of the case. A single missing person where the bf didnt randomly show up and not say anything isnt near as intriguing as this. Add to it that her parents go it out to the media nd blasted it all over social media, and its no surprise its getting the attention it is.

[infinitekidM2C]

A young attractive couple, then one goes missing, but the other seems fine and doesn't want to talk. It sells itself! What bot brought race into this ffs.

I guess the takeaway here is.... DEFUND THE MEDIA!!!!

Not I. I quit giving them clicks long ago… don’t watch or consume any of it on any kind of regular basis. I’ve closed all social media/app accounts and turned off my news feed. Yuck to it all. Wish more would do the same as to your point, they consume it will continue.

[BMW F22]

I post links to whatever news article pops up on my Apple feed. Even said above that I’m not trying to make it about race; merely pointing out that I wish every case gets as much attention. But if folks want to keep piling on saying this and that about race then so be it.
