Can you tell me

HAT HAPPENED?

I  know there has been a lot of media attention to the disappearance  of young Gabby Petito when she was on a vanlife roadtrip with her recently engaged fiancé.  It got my attention since Im very interested in Vanlife and I subscribe to many YouTubers who do vanlife, but most of the people I follow are in Canada.  

Today we may get more details as her body was found yesterday the 20th  near a Dispersed camping area of Spread Creek part of the Grand Teton Natl Park.  Other campers videoing their own journey caught the white Ford Transit that belonged to Gabby in their video, as they traveled down that road, it was parked in a spot along the road of the camping area.  

NO one knew Gabby was missing till Sept 11, although no one had seen her since Aug 24 and she last updated her Instagram on that day in Salt Lake City Utah.  Her parents got a weird text message on the 25th and they said it just didn't sound like her.  Then on Sept 1, Brain Laundrie the man who she was traveling with and engaged to showed up at his parents home driving Gabby's van and NO GABBY. And no explanation and he hired an attorney.  

When Gabby's parents began calling the Laundrie family for information and asking where is Gabby they were met with silence...and that is when Gabby's family reported this incident to the police.  Then citizens began to work on the case.   An individual called 911 when he witnessed a man slapping a woman in a white van in Moab Utah, and then they exited the van and the fight continued on the street.  Too bad the man didn't video the incident because when police arrived the couple lied about the details.  NO arrest was made the police did make the couple  stay apart that night but they resumed traveling the next day. 

Once back in FL Brian did not go to police, make any reports to the police, his parents refused to speak to Gabby's family and the media and public who gathered on their lawn demanded to know where is Gabby.  

Meanwhile the couple discovered they had captured the van on video in the Spread Creek campground contacted police and that is when they began searching in that area and the body was discovered.  

Another couple who have a TicTic account reported they gave Brain a ride in Teton NP, and he said he wanted to go to Jackson....when he found out they were going to Jackson Hole he wanted to get out of the car...and no other reports of his actions past that have been released...So then about one week ago, last Tuesday his parents reported he left to go hiking in the Carlton Preserve in Florida.  He drove there and when he didn't return his parents went to find his car with a note, no details of what the note said, but they went back and brought his car back to their home! I thought this was really strange. If you knew your kid was out in those woods and that was his way home...would you move his car?? 

So they said he is missing, the police began searching the Carlton Preserve in FL.  They suspended the search for a couple of days now it's back on again..and the Preserve is closed to the public.  

I saw a comment on Facebook yesterday and one man was angry and said "This story is only getting media attention because she is a blonde blue eyed white girl."  And then he remarked no one knew the names of the 10 people killed in Afghanistan by a US drone. 

Ok, I understand he is dismayed.  But the difference is People have been searching for this missing girl.  The story got a lot of attention as they got the word out trying to FIND her.  So everyone reached out to Social Media...a lot of internet sleuthing is going on...

The Afghan attack, I know that it was a family in a white Honda that was a target due to  bad intel. The family was actually helping others and were delivering water. That is what I know.  And I was horrified when I heard about it.  But I asked the guy who posted that,  does he know the name of any nursing home resident who died of neglect, or any child who died of abuse by a parent?  His remark was very unfair because of the circumstances of her disappearance and it has been citizen's spreading the word then the Media took ahold of it.  

I wish every death could be highlighted and the whole world would know...I wish the whole world had of helped me mourn the death of my mom! But that is not real life.  No life is more important than any other...we all suffer when we lose someone.  I am still 3 yrs into the grief of losing loved ones, can anyone tell me their names? NO I think he was only trying to turn someone's grief and the attention they got into something wrong...it's just the way it went.  Unfortunately the news can't report every single missing person or every death world wide, but locally you can become active.  

I am involved in getting the word out in a couple of ways. I am active on Find A Grave. I go to cemeteries and I photo headstones of people buried there.  Just this week alone I have photo'd 10 different people who have died this year alone and buried in the same cemetery where my loved ones are buried.  

So instead of making light of the attention one gets over another WE are the voice of the dead...it's up to us to keep alive their memory or not.   I am following this story, because it's a mystery.  

How many people died in a nursing home of suspicious means and we will never know that...it's not a racial problem as he tried to make it into.  Many of the women who died in nursing homes or in childbirth or men in car accidents are blonde hair blue eyed. 
Did you see them on the news? Nope.
