How did this become a national story? Usually, missing person stories are local news only.
One factor was that the couple was posting videos of their van trip on social media and have been seen by millions of people.
This video was posted by the couple just days before Gabby disappeared.
Feds and LEO have used the internet to help them when they need more help.
I find it interesting that when my mom’s neighbor was murdered....LEO were incredibly tight lipped. They got their 5 people, tho. Murder for Hire. And morons to boot.
A beautiful girl missing under mysterious circumstances has been a mainstay of the media since Gutenberg.
It used to sell papers, now it sells ratings and internet clicks.
Because the last time she was seen was Utah/Wyoming. Dude showed up in Florida without her.
What ‘local’ area should it have been limited to? That’s a wide area to disappear in. Dude could have dumped her body in Missouri.
