Trying to still keep up and I can't imagine how frustrated her parents must be.

Yep - still following. He is the lowest piece of trash and his parents aren't any better.

Do they think he can just be on the lam forever?? His "luck" has to run out one of these days.

Right? It is getting ridiculous at this point. We all know the parents know where he is. Just wonder how much the sister knows.

I'll probably need to keep my deeper feelings aside, but really, the media sensation over it is bordering on pathological.

I can not believe he is still in Florida living off the land. I just don't believe that. He's such a generic looking white dude that if he just shaved his beard and wore a hat, he could really blend in anywhere.

I don't know if I missed it but have they confirmed he did not come back to family in NY? I never see them questioning that possibility.

I agree.

It's like enough already - let us know when you find him. Which won't be in that swamp in FL.

I'm bored to death of it.
But I never really paid attention to it in the first place.
I really don't have the energy for it lol

I agree the non-stop should end as while there is something going on everyday, nothing is really going on (if you can understand that lol).

Why all of a sudden is the father going to search for him now? It seems like he's trying to save face.

Probably because Dr. Phil said something. They said because they found a campsite and the father knows how he camps and where they have gone together. Sorry, don't buy it.

But I think that the easiest way to catch him is if people are still aware he's out there and missing. Keep getting his picture out there so more people know to look for him. I feel so bad for her family. Can you imagine knowing that your child's murderer might get away with it?

I agree. I truly don't understand any of it. What happened is terribly tragic. But how many young women are killed by their boyfriends each day and they don't get even half of the media attention this did. Who chooses who is worthy of being a media sensation and who isn't?

I ended up on a Facebook group about this ( I tend to join groups just so I can observe and in the Long run drive myself crazy Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon ) the people on there are nutty and way too invested. They come up with all these insane theories it’s actually comical.

I do hope they find him soon. I haven’t really been paying too much close attention because I feel like it’s all over the place but I do feel his parents knows where he is/was and is not being truthful.

I believe it’s part luck of the draw and how vocal people are and if they can get followings. These parents were able to get this as a hot topic all Over social media sites so naturally the news will pick it up!!

Speaking of crazy theories, I saw a post on tik tok that had video of his parents gardening in their back yard (via drone) and they person suggested that he is in a underground bunker in their backyard because in the video they are saying they can see a hand reach out in one of their garden boxes. And the mother was passing him something underground.

Not really. Cassie spoke up but didn't say much. Father went to reserve, nothing. Another guy came forward from NC, nothing yet about that.

It is insane. My husband told me about that and I just looked at him and rolled my eyes lol. People will come up with anything.

I DO think it is odd though that you are just going about your day gardening as I would be out there trying to find him especially if I didn't have to work.

Re: Anyone still following the Gabby Petito story?

I watched a documentary on Netflix I think about that girl who was found in a water tank on the roof of the Cecil hotel in LA
It was a very interesting story and documentary.
But the internet sleuths trying to solve it were too much.
They actually convinced themselves that some musician killed her and they were analyzing his songs and saying he admitted to it in lyrics etc. People were sending him death threats etc
Turns out he had nothing to do with it.
Some people really have nothing better to do and get obsessed with shit like this.

Some of these cases and theories are crazy. It is very interesting though as sad and horrible these stories are.

I saw this and all those online detectives basically ruined his life. Didn’t he go to Mexico because of it? People are insane and stupid.

I think what irks me is the sensational coverage this story continue gets and Jelani Day gets crickets. I feel bad for the families and it’s horrendous what happened but I’m perplexed by the continuous media fixation on this still.

I think if he wasn't still missing it would be yesterday's news, however people are still captivated by it because he's out there somewhere, getting away with this.

However, the media in this country is out of control. There are a million stories about how one ex FBI thinks this is what happened, and how this psychologist thinks that's what happened, and a PI thinks another thing. And they all report these things as if they are facts and not opinions or speculations and then people latch on to these things AS IF they were facts. And people are too overwhelmed and two stupid to see through all of this to the truth.
