I know you're smarter than to believe, that is the primary reason between the huge disparity of publicity regarding 'pretty, white women' - and indigenous or women of color. Violence Against Black Women – Many Types, Far-reaching Effects - IWPR "More than four in ten Black women experience physical violence from an intimate partner during their lifetimes. White women, Latinas, and Asian/Pacific Islander women report lower rates." I too learned to avoid females who were cold, two-faced, manipulative or passive-aggressive, so I would say that we were both trained well - at a young age. |

About the same % of white women abused, assaulted or killed by men of their own race? The bottom line, as I stated earlier, is that it is much more likely that a "young, pretty white woman" will get much more media and population attention, on a purely percentage basis. That just isn't right or fair.

It would be interesting to look into why a particular case draws national attention. Perhaps it helps if the missing person is a young white female but there are a lot of young white females missing right now that aren't on national news.

What I said was "There are more white people in the U.S.". I have learned also to avoid cold, two faced, manipulative or bullying women as friends. I will not play games with either sex, nor will I be talked down to. As for race and violence. I read the figures. I see the news. I wonder why.

Looks like not only was he out of her league but he was stealing from the bank account.

I think it had a lot of elements to encourage interest. She was absolutely movie star beautiful and young. I had never heard of someone doing a "blog" about their transcontinental trip which I imagine gave her followers to begin with. Then the fact that HE returned home and did not say a word to her parents as to where she was, when they had been communicating with her daily was the plot twist. THEN he hired a lawyer. Curiouser and curiouser. I remember following the cases of two other hugely followed murders in Florida in the past six years. One was about Markeith Loyd and the other was about the man who died in prison today, the father in law of the beautiful young mother whose body was dismembered and found on the farm of her husbands family. Markeith Loyd killed not only his pregnant wife but shot down a very popular female law officer who was very well liked in the community for many years. Then he lost his eye when he was finally arrested wearing her handcuffs. The connection to what makes a story of true crime very interesting to the public is an interest or a connection to the public, not the race of the perp or the victim.

I agree…
I did find myself wondering why the media jumped on this particular case of a young woman who went missing. Following the story is fine, but why was this front page news on so many media outlets for days? I mean no disrespect for her, but she’s not a celebrity, not someone well known etc.
And yes there were plenty of white women who went missing that were not given this kind of continuous coverage. I don’t think there’s a racial issue here. Quote:

Because Gabby had that blog there are lots of photos and video clips of the two of them during their trip for the media to show over and over. And of course she was this adorable young girl, setting off an adventure with the love of her life (RETCH) ... only to have it end so badly. I think because of what we knew about them, people were strongly affected by the story. And we love having a bad guy to hate! Just my thoughts. kathy |

Yes, it seems like a good summary, Kathy, and to those of you who try to take the attention away from this young couple, you are trying to use this unfortunate situation to promote YOUR agenda, and it is NOT what this thread about. Start a new thread if you have an issue.
