Could Gabby Petito's Muder Been Prevented? ( Archived) (70)

It seems every once in awhile a case just takes off for some reason. Like the Casey Anthony, George Zimmerman, Jon Benet Ramsey, OJ Simpson and a few others.

There is a real "lynch mob" attitude with this new one. People even want to string up Laundrie's parents! Very scary. So far the evidence is damning but still not conclusive.

I've just watched the second video and it's answered sme of my questions.

It is a racial issue, but other factors such as Gabby's media exposure also play a part in the high profile status of this case.

I still maintain that teaching children about social, emotional and psychological issues is imperative: perhaps the male police officers might have acted differently had their education been more extensive.

I also missed some of the pertinent factors in the body cam footage I watched a few days ago, where it was presented that Gabby was the aggressor. I still felt uncomfortable about Laundrie's body language (he came across as socially inept, a trait typical of abusers), but hadn't put the pieces together in such a way that that the attending police officers might have acted differently.

The first time I saw Gabby she was a young, vulnerable woman crying. I felt that this young woman was on the verge of a breakdown. She appeared to be helpless. To make it worse it seemed that her boyfriend was the cause of her stress which put her in danger.

She admitted to the officer that she has OCD and was trying to clean up the inside of the van. Her boyfriend wanted her to stop doing that but she was insistent in doing it.

OCD is a disorder in which people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions).

So why do I think Gabby's story has hit the heart of people........I think it is because she was weak, a defenseless lamb and had no way to help herself get out of a very bad situation.

If cops on the Eastern side of the U.S. had stopped a van with a girl crying and a man said he slapped her you can be sure that both Gabby and Brian would have been taken to police headquarters for questioning. With that most likely they would have called Gabby's father to come pick her up.

And Gabby would have lived ~~~~

Why does everything have to be about colour..Thousands of kids of all colours are missing yet to be found.

Gabby had a huge following and that did help plus when parents never give up pestering authorities..When parents never give up walking the streets with flyers..When Parents never give up pestering social media sites then yes you do get more results.

Wow, they both hit each other... There are lines that should never be crossed... One of them is the line of physical violence... It marks the point of no return in a relationship...
