I was weirded out by a few things:

  1. The AI voiceover of her texts were just so odd and creepy. I hope that's not the new standard for new crime docs...

  2. Literally every single male officer failed her. It was like they just didn't care about her at all.

  3. The influencers that had a video of Gabby's van...I understand that maybe they also called the police to tell them but why upload it to youtube? Why was that your first reaction? So many people capitalizing off of her murder, so disrespectful.

I said the same thing. The youtuber that had the van in her video. Once she realized she had footage of it she saw dollar signs first..uploaded the video instead of informing authorities first. That's the way it seemed to me anyways. That's the world we live in now, the influencer/social media parasite that leeches off other people's problems a lot of times.

Yeah that was so insane to me. People were like so excited to be the next person with an update instead of just genuinely trying to help the family. And the thumbnail and title of that video was so click-baity too ugh

I was looking for someone to comment about the AI voice overs. Yeah I don’t like it either, I’ve been seeing it more and more often since our tech advanced and it definitely makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when we’re talking about someone that has passed on!

Yes! It’s not like she can consent to that. I found out Dr Phil may have had an involvement with this documentary so that explains the unethical use of AI…

I didn't like the AI voice over. But since her parents were involved in the documentary, I wonder if they approved it. Maybe they felt like it was giving their daughter a voice. I've never been through what they have so I'm sure there are mechanisms at play that I can't fathom.

That’s true! It’s just that the AI sounded so lifeless and seemed unnecessary…

Number 1 did not sit well with me AT ALL. So unnecessary

Omg and then shamelessly plugging the name of their socials like three times. Red white and blu-something

I giggled when the sheriff said “based on the information we already had” before he introduced the youtubers statements lol

they didn't care. they were bored. the Florida cop was acting as if the Laundrie family were rulers of the earth and he was their peasant.

I thought that also regarding the police officers, as my wife did. After watching the documentary though with the complete unedited video, we couldn’t fault them…or the female officer in addition to the male officers…with the info they had at the after interviewing the two of them and let them go. Only thing was we wouldn’t thought she would have been given the hotel room and not the van. Turned out it was titled in her name though, and not that piece of garbage boyfriend. Expect that was the reason why.

Every single police officer’s voice PROFOUNDLY pissed me off. Then it just made me cry because of how typical their responses were.

Unfortunately, I guess the cops really do not understand what narcissists do. They turn everything around so that the victim constantly blames themself for their partner's bad behavior. That was a weird exchange with the cops in Utah. I am hoping not just police, but everyone becomes more and more aware of this behavior through what happened (never should have to begin with).

The police didn’t fail her, they were doing their job based on evidence.

not also every single officer failed her but I also think her mom letting her move with this guy she wasn't even sure her daughter was dating??? I feel like she sent distress signals and her parents let her manage by herself
