Katie S. Phang: How realistic was the social media portrayal of Gabby Petito’s life?
The Moab Police Department released body cam video from an incident involving an argument between Gabby Petito and her fianceé on Aug. 12.Gabby Petito’s last post on her Instagram account was Aug. 25. A series of photos shows a smiling, beautiful young woman, sun-kissed and happy, holding a miniature pumpkin in a few, with the caption “Happy Halloween.” But the FBI's announcement late Sunday tragically suggests that Petito won’t be able to celebrate Halloween.
But why such a level of interest in Petito’s case? There are several answers, all of which are speculative.

Petito and Laundrie shared a YouTube travel channel and each has an Instagram page with hundreds of thousands of followers, and branded themselves on multiple other platforms.
In some instances, that connection has potentially provided material assistance in the investigation. A pair of YouTubers discovered that they hadAug. 27 before she went missing. Their video posted over the weekend depicts the area in Grand Teton National Park's Spread Creek Dispersed Camping Area, which is where the human remains were found by authorities Sunday. The YouTubers then gave the footage to the FBI.
