I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Gabby had been documenting her travels with her boyfriend and she had been in regular communication with her parents and that communication abruptly ended. Her boyfriend showed up at his parents' house with her van and presumably had been using her credit/bank accounts. Gabby at first was missing and her boyfriend wasn't talking and neither were his parents. Now Gabby's body has been found, the boyfriend is loose and either dead or on the run and more and more has been coming out about this young couple's final weeks together.

It's been an odd set of circumstances all around. Even Dog the Bounty Hunter was seen knocking on the door of the parents' house.
