The Laundrie family is a white family. I don't get what kind of point you're trying to make. Are you surprised their relative is white or just want to comment about your distain for white people, men and police officers. |
Nassau county is in NY , not Florida |
I think the media latched on because there was so much social media with them on this trip. Rarely can you actually watch the events that unfolded before someone is murdered. |
This is it exactly. I personally don’t follow murder cases, but this one has so much details that have drawn me in due to the details on the shady actions of Brian after he murdered her If all this other missing people had a obvious suspect that we could follow, I’d eagerly read about those missing people too. |
Never heard of her. |
So this is interesting, right? Where is all the news about the lesbians and who killed them? Nothing. You wouldn't know about them if it weren't for Gabby. They're not POC, but they are a minority and you can't relate to them, so you wouldn't really be focused or interested in that story, you'd just say "Oh, that's sad, I hope they find their killer" but there's not a thread about them, nobody is seeking out clues about them, I haven't seen any TikToks about the last time they were spotted, etc... |
I feel like the national parks must be a hot bed of death. No cell phone reception, wide open vast wilderness, little oversight by too few park rangers. Between the accidental deaths and the intentional ones (that are often framed by the murders as accidents) that occur there I would be afraid to go to one of these parks without a tour group. |
It's really not as unoccupied and vast as you would think. Tourists are EVERY WHERE. The only place there weren't was the furnace which required a guided tour after multiple rescues / deaths as a result of the maze. |
They were actually a story that was going on before Gabby's. And then they merged. I don't think you guys can back up your claims that only pretty blonde girls are featured in true crime. I'm a genuine true crime fan, I average 1-2 hours of true crime stories per day and much higher on weekend. While cleaning my house, I'm listening to murder. While walking my dog, those airpods are feeding me murder. I know my murder. And I can tell you-- and have receipts-- that pretty white women are actually a minority in this genre. Prove it otherwise. The only ones you can probably name are JeanBenet, Natalie Halloway, and now Gabby. That's what... one a decade? No, contrary to what's fashionable to claim, true crime and horror fans actually prefer the more obscure stuff with imperfect victims. Go look on Netflix and see who the victims are these days. People like complex story lines, interesting villains, and relatable victims. JeanBenet, may she rest in peace, is not relatable for most people. |
The dead California family, Gerrish/Ching, has no obvious clues or suspects and has garnered a lot of interest. And the woman is not white, and the man is not American. |
| For all the posters saying those of us following this case are only following it because gabby is white, are completely missing the point that there are many of us who are following because there is an obvious suspect and there’s a manhunt going on! Brian acted extremely suspicious and was the number one suspect from the very beginning. And he’s gone missing. Scott Peterson‘s wife when she was murdered, had Scott as the obvious suspect. If there’s not an obvious suspect for us rally against, it’s not as interesting. The reason tik-tokers and everybody are getting involved is because they know who to look for. |
I disagree. There was a lot of interest in this case, I was one of the interested parties. Although it’s not an obvious murder suspect it is interesting to try to figure out what actually happened to them. |
National Parks (and state parks) are definitely murder central. And I think that's interesting, because we tend to think of national parks as a very wholesome vacation for families with taste. So the idea that a gorgeous area, that everyone can agree is tasteful and edifying, is actually a murder trap, is what resonates with people. Because deep down, we know that rugged land, full of wild beasts and far away from civilization, is no safe place for kids. Listen to Lost Hills if you want to hear something infuriating about how good of a job these parks do of suppressing the fact that they are basically hunting grounds. |
Also disagree. The thread on that California family is over 200 pages long! That certainly indicates interest |
NP That’s my feeling as well. Check out the book “Missing 411” written by a former National park ranger. It’s about all the missing people in the wilds of North America. Men, women, children, disabled, elderly disappearing in parks and woods. Some of the stories are creepy. It made me never want to go to national park unless part of a tour. People can laugh if they want. |
